Second Fleet

From FEInfobase

Created in 2404 by Fleet Admiral Taylor's first executive order of the year, the Second Fleet was orderd to head out in to space and make peaceful contact with Friends of the Federation in an attempt to secure more resources for the continued rebuilding effort.

Initially only 4 ships have been assigned to this fleet as it is more of a political move than any real attempt to secure extra resources, the public aren't aware of the Second Fleet's other orders, to simply take what they need if they cannot get it through peaceful diplomatic needs.

It has been speculated within Starfleet that the second Enterprise Class Vessel, USS Columbia will be assigned to the Second Fleet in order to strengthen public belief that this initiative is one of Starfleet's highest priorities.

Augmenting this suggestion of the Second Fleet's importance is the assignment of its newest commander, Vice-Admiral Falco Tauvits, who perhaps has the most experience of any officer in Starfleet of the uncharted space the Fleet will be operating in. Commodore Matthew Royce serves as the Executive Officer, and has been in the post since the Fleet's official creation, regardless of any of its actual operations.
