User:Jedi450/9th Tactical Fleet

History
The 9th Tactical Fleet is guild in the MMORPG Star Trek: Online (STO). The Fleet was originally intended to be a sister fleet of a fleet that the founders were members of, however due to differences between the command the 9th became it's own fleet. The brainchild of Fleet Admiral Andrew Jonlon and Admiral Will Masters, the 9th Tactical Fleet steadily grew with a dedicated member base. Now led by Fleet Admirals Andrew Jonlon, Will Masters, Damian Scott, and Danger,the Fleet is a small but recognizable force within the game. The Fleet motto is “Quality Over Quantity”, a reference to the fact that the 9th prides itself on quality members, and not on the overall size of the fleet. The 9th Tactical Fleet is always looking for good people, so if you are in STO, and are looking for a steadfast Fleet, look us up.

Inception
The 9th Tactical Fleet was organized under direct orders of Starfleet Command as first strike element within the Federation. As a tactically oriented Fleet, they are focused on combat within space and on the ground utilizing tactics that are on the cutting edge of the tactical, science, and engineering fields. After receiving orders to stand-up the new Fleet, Admiral Jonlon enlisted the help of his Admirals to organize and establish the Fleet. Numerous elements were transferred from the original fleet to the 9th, and the Fleet began combat operations immediately. Unhindered by the "red-tape" of the the old fleet, the 9th Tactical Fleet became the premiere tactical unit within Starfleet.
