In the context of the online STF program, Fleet Two is one of seven subdivisions of the bulletin board known as the WeBB ("Web Bulletin Board"). As a bulletin board program, the WeBB provides STF an RPG environment without the demanding time constraints and choppy nature of realtime Chat simming.


=/\= What’s a GWFer?
Obviously, a crewmember of STF2. But people who join the GWF are a different sort of people from what you'd find in the other Fleets of STF. Fleet Two, which until 1998 existed on the proprietary Prodigy online service, joined the WeBB in August of that year. From Day One, it established AWOL (activity) rules markedly different from the rest of the club's. Whereas the rules in other Fleets encourage frequent logging, STF2's pace is deliberately set slower, to exclude daily posters. GWFers join their Fleet because their active outside lives make daily logging an impossibility. So whereas other ships' RPGs may advance every day, or every other day, STF2's tend to advance only twice or three times a week.

If this sounds like the STF opportunity for you -- to be able to advance to a high rank without having to sacrifice your offline life -- join Fleet Two! Send email to the STF Personnel Director. Please specify the three departments (choose among Engineering, Science, Medical, Security, Tactical, and Counseling) in which you'd feel most comfortable. Then tell the PDir that you specifically request a ship in Fleet Two, and you'll get an assignment in the GWF.


=/\= Fleet Two Library
The Fleet Two Library maintains the official list of GWF Operations Memoranda, the notices that catalogue the rules that regulate STF2 life.

STF2 has a long and storied history. As STF's oldest governmental entity (it predates both the Personnel Department and, oddly, Fleet One), and as the cradle for some of STF's most influential members, its story is studded with big names and important events.

The Fleet Two History is available now from the GWF Library!

USS Trinitron -- Formerly the Flagship, and current ward of Captain Jonathan Houseweart, the Columbus-class Trin is an important part of STF's history, with a long roll of prominent club members who have called it "home."

USS Nautilus -- used to be the only GWF ship never to have served on Prodigy, the Aurora-class Nauty has only known the best CO's in Star-fleet currently in the ward of Captain Rex Linnenkohl .

USS Lexington -- The newest ship to join the GWF commissioned in 2000 currently in the ward of CO Captain Jason Y. Lee, the Lexington is a Trafalgar-class Ship.

Outpost 45 -- Added to the GWF in 1999 and currently under the command of CO Steve Johnson


=/\= ‘NC’ and Decommissioned Ships
The five active ships of STF2 aren't the only entities within the Fleet. Starbase 93, "Non-Crewed" ships, and former ships are just a few of the various other GWF ships.

Starbase 93 -- SB93 is the only thing that has remained constant in STF2 since 1992. The Starbase has survived membership losses, governmental crises, warp core explosions, and even the FCommship of Mike Barclay (just joking, Mike!). Unfortunately, no crew can profit from the Base's fortitude; it exists only as a "figurehead" governmental zone for the GWF.

Former Fleet Two Ships -- The Victorious and Dresden are two examples of ships that are active today, even after leaving the GWF. The legacies of the ships the GWF has decommissioned in its seven years are available at the Ships of the GWF page, along with stories from the Vicky's and Dres' time in the Second Fleet, plus short looks at the current ships.
