32nd Fleet History and Introduction

Fleet Admiral Pippen founded the 32nd Fleet in March of the year 2000. He felt that something was missing in the way other fleets operated. Namely, that any fleet should aspire first and foremost to increase the enjoyment of the game for its members. This could only be accomplished by valuing the content of the character of members higher than their piloting skill. This seemingly obvious idea, revolutionary in the Starfleet Command universe, spawned the 32^nd Fleet. We have grown from a few idealistic individuals to one of the largest and longest living fleets in existence. Our commitment to the ideals upon which we were founded has allowed us to survive and prosper through six years that included the transition from Starfleet Command thru Starfleet Command II: Empires at War and Orion Pirates to Starfleet Command III then out into other games and the peaceful transference of the Combined Fleet Admiral position many times.

Honesty, honor and integrity are not words we pay homage to as abstract ideals. We cannot obtain them by trumpeting them across a website. If we are to survive, we must live them in all that we do. They are the unshakable rock upon which we build our house neither strife nor storm can destroy that rock. We honor the memory of the 32^nd who have gone before us by maintaining our commitment to the principles they established. We hold aloft the torch lit from their spark, and remain forever, the Mighty 32^nd.

We find the concept of wars to be silly and entirely the purview of self-important individuals who believe themselves the embodiment of their fleets. We hold the principles and ideals of the 32^nd higher than any individual and indulging the personal dislikes of any of our leaders by involving the entire fleet in a personal conflict is a severe profanation of the ideas we hold most dear. Therefore we, for our part, consider ourselves friendly to all fleets, and any fleets’ members are welcome in our rooms, providing of course they behave appropriately.

Needless to say, with membership in an organization such as this one there comes a group of responsibilities that we consider very important. The ideals of this fleet are to be upheld by every member, and each member should be acutely aware of what is expected of them.  The 32nd Fleet Officers' Manual is designed to help members understand the fleet to which they belong.  If one pays attention to the rules and codes of conduct contained therein, they should never have any trouble in any 32nd Fleet room, or any other reputable fleet's room for that matter.
