Armadas

Background

Founded in 2008, Stonewall Fleet is one of Star Trek Online's oldest and largest fleet, and we're proudly the premier gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally fleet within the game! Stonewall Fleet is the eponymous Alpha fleet of the Stonewall Armada.

Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming place for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally players in their favourite MMO and facilitate members participation in all aspects of game play that we are able. As well, it is our duty to help educate and inform players on sexual orientation and gender identity issues.

Benefits of being a part of any of the two Armadas:

  • You will gain access to Fleet Holdings that are completely finished and give you access to all the unlocked stores, and other Holding benefits. Both Stonewall Fleet and House of Nagh reD will give you access to:
    • Tier V Starbase
    • Tier III Embassy
    • Tier III Dilithium Mine
    • Tier III Spire
    • Tier III Research Lab
    • Tier III Station K-13
    • Tier V Colony World
  • Your Fleet projects will be completed more quickly, while at the same time your Fleet Members will have access to more opportunities to donate to projects.
  • You will become part of a very welcoming and fun community, giving you access to all the stores both in-game and out-of-game, social events, and shared online platforms. In addition, we believe in diversity! This means that you get access to all of these resources when affiliating with our Armadas, but you will remain autonomous and whatever makes your Fleet unique and defines your colour shall always remain so.
  • Stonewall Fleet is but one branch of the Stonewall Gaming Network (SGN), a multi-guild gaming community that includes official presences in Star Wars: The Old Republic, as well as Guild Wars 2, among informal presences in many other games. We also have an active group on Steam that we welcome our members to join. By joining with one of our Armadas you will not only meet people playing STO, but come in contact with many different players in almost as many exciting online games all over the world!

Policies

Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines

The Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines are in place for all the shared facilities in both Armadas. You’re cordially invited to have a look at them and discover the common ground between your Fleet and our Armadas!

Requirements to Join

To ensure that all Armadas remain vibrant with activity and in compliance to the rules, all Fleets that are part of the Stonewall Fleet Armada must display their own rules in an area that is publicly accessible for all members. Our goal is to strengthen our Armada with other like-minded Fleets therefore each Fleet keeps their own rules as long as their rules do not conflict with the rules or goals of the Stonewall Gaming Network.

We believe in the strength of a symbiotic relationship among all our Armada members. Each Fleet's Holding projects should be set to allow members to donate every type of resource. This benefits the Fleets at all tier levels within our Armada; Gamma Fleets will have the opportunity to see their projects filled rapidly and boost the progression of their Holdings while members in the larger Fleets will have the opportunity to assist everyone else and earn Fleet Credits in the process!

Further Requirements for Beta Fleets

In addition to the general requirements described above, a Beta Fleet must have at least ten Active Members within their fleet. An Active Member is defined as a member that logs into STO at least once every 30 days. This rule can be modified, suspended, or waived at the discretion of the Stonewall Fleet Admiralty.

For our Armada to function effectively, we require open communication between the leadership of all member fleets and Stonewall Fleet Leadership therefore each member fleet must identify two members within their leadership who will be our points of contact and who will commit to being responsive to any in-game and other means of communication with us.

In the event that your Beta Fleet is unable to maintain compliance with the requirements described above, you will receive a 30-day reminder notice requesting that you contact the Stonewall Fleet Admiralty to discuss any issues or concerns. To ensure active participation and allow others an opportunity to join our Armada, if the Stonewall Fleet Admiralty does not receive a response from your Beta Fleet within 30 calendar days from the date that appears on the notice, your Fleet will be replaced by the next eligible Fleet.

Further Requirements for Gamma Fleets

In addition to the general requirements outlined above, any Gamma Fleet must have at least five Active Members within their fleet.An Active Member is defined as a member that logs into STO at least once every 30 days.

Shared Facilities

Therefore, when making use of any of these shared facilities, we expect any Member of the Stonewall Armada to abide by them.

SFArmada Chat Channel

We encourage the use of the cross-faction Armada channel SFArmada as this is the main and preferred way to interact and communicate with Armada Members in game.

To join SFArmada, use the /channel_join SFArmada slash command in the STO chat.
