After the creation of the United Federation in 2165, it was decided that there should be a joint Starfleet made up of members of the Federation, utilizing beings from every planet within the Federation. There needed however to be a clear cut chain of command for the smooth operations of all ships within the fleet itself.
Every member planet of the Federation had its own system for their ships. Each system was based on the society’s values and system of government. Vulcan vessels had a chain of command, but tended to rely on science and logic to handle all situations. This made most decision analytical, but tended to take a great deal of time as it would be debated until logic found a solution.
The Tellerites tended to be more militaristic, but not a lot debate was put to the test when dealing with potentially volatile situations.
Andorians tended to be more militaristic when it came to dealing with other races and fighting had a tendency to be the outcome of many of their dealings.
Every member world had their own system. But those systems couldn’t work well together in a cohesive order when crews were made up of all of those worlds. It was decided that there should be one system in place for command and control of Starfleet ships. Sense many of the worlds utilized a captain and command crew it was decided that this system worked well and would be kept in place. A rank structure was needed. After much debate within the counsel. Earths system of rank structure most closely resembled every system in place on most space faring vessels, and in 2255 the current ranking systems was adopted and put into place on all Starfleet specific vessels. Vessels under direct planetary control and not part of the Starfleet systems of ships specifically may have their own systems of command.
This document lists all Starfleet ranks and their requirements for advancement and specialties. Also there is a listing of the standard uniforms issued to all Starfleet personnel as well as standard field equipment.
This document is designed to give any being interested in Starfleet a fairly good understanding of the command structure and how Starfleet operates in the field.
