If you have completed these steps, you are now officially a Member of the Fleet Marine Force, the finest fleet in the Federation. Briefly, this post will explain what is expected of all fleet members.

1. PARTICIPATION:
A). All Fleet Officers are encouraged to attend as many fleet events as possible. All Fleet Officers are REQUIRED to attend the monthly meeting/muster. (You will be notified via multiple avenues of these events.) Participation requires the use of vent and interacting with your brother officers. You are also asked to check the website frequently for news/updates about the Fleet as well as the activities of the other divisions.
***NATURALLY WE UNDERSTAND REAL LIFE MAY PREVENT YOU FROM ABIDING BY THIS POLICY FROM TIME TO TIME. WE ASK ONLY THAT YOU MAKE US AWARE OF ANY ABSENCE AS SOON AS IS FEASIBLE****

B). Logging in and playing solo is often more enjoyable when you are simply in the mood to do so, and is not frowned upon. However playing solo EXCLUSIVELY will result in an inquiry and possible sanctions.

C). Leave of Absence: You must notify Fleet Command of any leave of absence. Because Real life happens (computers crash, vacations and employment), your leave of absence request will always be granted and honored. However, if you hold a Fleet Command Position, and are going to be absent for longer than a month, you will be asked to recommend a "Pro-tem" officer in your place. Members inactive for two months (no participation without a LOA) will be reduced to "Candidate" Rank. At three months of AWOL, your membership in the fleet will be terminated.
***We make every effort to stay in contact to ensure that you are never 'accidentally' sanctioned, but the responsibility for communicating is on the individual Fleet Officer.

D.) When you Log in to the Game make your presence known via the Fleet Chat Channel.

2.) IN GAME CONDUCT:

A.) YOU, THE PLAYER: In ventrilo, we encourage friendly banter, trash talking, competitiveness, and joking. We do NOT under any circumstances, however, tolerate ANY form of racism or discrimination. We do not tolerate abusive conduct toward any brother officer, nor guests who may be in Vent.

1. If, at any time, you have a grievance or are just not happy with some things, you are encouraged to speak directly, whenever possible, to whatever party you may have issue with (Including Command Staff). If you cannot resolve your issue, you may call on the Command Staff to mediate. If your issue is with Command Staff, then you have the right to request mediation from the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the League. NEVER "gossip" with other fleet officers. Most importantly, NEVER trash the Fleet or League to STO Players outside the Fleet. Violation of this section will result in immediate expulsion. REMEMBER: The JCS maintains an open-door policy. If you need to discuss an issue with them, you are welcome to do so at any time. However the JCS, Like the Fleet, respects the Chain of Command and encourages you to use it.

2. Honor your word. the Motto of the League is Honor and Might. We require honesty and HONORABLE conduct at all times. If you commit yourself to an event or project for the Fleet, we will hold you accountable. Never abuse the bank system and never deal unfairly through the Exchange as this constitutes an exploit (which is FORBIDDEN in the League and the Fleet) and brings shame to our good name.

3. The Fleet Bank provides you, the player with access to equipment, tools, weapons, items and even in-game currency. Your Fleet Rank determines how much you may withdraw during any given time frame. However, if there is anything you need to enhance your gaming, we have an experienced Quartermaster who can access anything you need from the bank. You may contact anyone in the Chain-of-Command to request withdrawals (if you cannot access them yourself) and we will respond promptly. The bank is supported by every member of the fleet and depends entirely on donations. Our Fleet is, and always has been, generous in depositing items to the Bank. Please remember that once you donate any item to the Fleet Bank, that item becomes the property of the Fleet. The Bank is run on the honor system, and HONOR is something we take very seriously. Any attempt to defraud the Fleet or abuse the resources will be met with immediate and severe consequences.

B). YOU, THE CAPTAIN: All officers will maintain the dignity of the Fleet and the League. Make sure your officers follow the Uniform Dress Code (Outlined in the Post titled, FMF Uniform Code). Always wear the Fleet insignia on your uniforms and your ships. Name your ship and Captain anything you wish, but do so tastefully. Ship or Character names that are racist, inflammatory, vulgar or promote the use of illegal substances are strictly forbidden!
Add no "Special" Abbreviations or acronyms to your captain or vessel unless approved by Command Staff. For Example, many vessels will be named, "USS Booger-Omega Group." Only the name and registry numbers should appear on your hull ("USS Booger"). Likewise do not "Title" yourself with any title not provided by the Fleet or STO. "Dr. Sabynn" would not be acceptable without prior consent from Fleet Command.

Always respond to ANY Call for help from: (In this Order) 1. a Brother Fleet Officer, 2. Officers belonging to an Allied Fleet 3. Non-FMF officers without a Fleet, 4. Non-FMF Officers that are in another fleet.

In PVP, be gracious in Victory or Defeat. We are Elite Officers and our conduct must reflect this.

Whenever you have opportunity, assist officers outside of our fleet, asking nothing in return. This is the public relations policy of the Fleet. Our reputation is that of Officers who always help with no ulterior motives: Selflessness!

In fleet action combat, any member of the "team" may be appointed to command (Not always the most senior officer in the Fleet). Obey the instruction/orders of any such "tactical command." This has proven to be the secret to our successful teamwork when the fight is a tough one.

When aiding junior officers on missions, patrols, DSE's etc., remember to assist; not take over. Any loot you pick up during such combat goes to the Junior officer, and should be given over to him/her as soon as possible.

Always show due courtesy to Officers whether of Superior grade or Subordinate.

The League of Generals is the "In Game" Starfleet Command, in that they may from time to time issue conditions or terms to all League members, and the Fleet Command will often confer with them to expand the functions of the STO players/scenarios/and games. Any League member of the Joint Chiefs, when in game is to be respected as a senior officer regardless of their in game rank, as they represent Starfleet Command.

This Code of Conduct is subject to revision without prior notice. When a change is made, you will be notified.
