August 26th will mark the third anniversary of Frontier Fleet. Since that time, we have made a big impact on the universe. The Fleet began with the original Delta One and USS Arakov, but they failed miserably. Had they remained, the Borg would have assimilated Sector 001 for sure. Fortunately for us, the two duty stations were disbanded, and their rag-tag crews combined to helm the first ever Transwarp ship, the USS Calhoun.
Despite massive complications with the prototype transwarp drive, the USS Calhoun succeeded in boldly going where noone had... well, ok, where the USS Voyager went before. Even the untimely death of Captain Sera Vaun did not stop this fledgling Fleet from pursuing their mission. Captain Fox Main stepped up to fill the void, and the Fleet flourished under his guidance.
With the addition of the USS Odyssey and the USS Arakov-A, the Fleet began a period of growth that culminated in the founding of space stations Pandora Station and Delta One. The tragic destruction of the USS Arakov might have been a setback, but Starfleet quickly replaced her with the USS Valkyrie. Some would claim there had need for a place to send incompetent crewmembers, but in fact the replacement ship speaks volumes of the confidence Starfleet has in our Fleet.
Frontier Fleet has gained such prominence that it has attracted beings from all over the galaxy. The numbers of Klingon recruits alone is proof of the honor of our organization. Unlike many starships that have mostly human crews, Frontier Fleet is the only one brave enough (or perhaps insane enough), to have a Romulan and a Cardassian serve as First Officer.
So in honor of this third anniversary, I would like to say thank you to all the crew that have made Frontier Fleet so successful. The Fleet's future is bright, and I hope we continue to go where not too many people have been before.
