- Location: USA (EDT/EST, UTC-4/5)
- Characters: Sha’Kar@mguyver315#5365
- Previous fleets: Another fleet invited me and I joined briefly because I thought I was supposed to accept. At the time, I was still very new to the game and didn’t know what I was doing, so I left once I did some research and learned what I was actually looking for in a fleet.
- Why join the Mighty 44th? I’m new to Star Trek Online (and MMORPG-style games in general), having only just started playing last month, and am still getting acquainted with the solo play and social elements it contains. In my first few weeks, I got a number of random fleet invites, but didn’t know what it meant to join a fleet or what I would want in one until I did some independent research. When I found the 44th Fleet website, I was blown away by the depth of helpful information contained for beginners like me, the generally friendly atmosphere to the discourse on forum threads, and the low pressure conditions for both joining and participation. As a casual player with real-life commitments, I appreciate the spirit of allowing me to determine how much or how little I can participate or contribute to the fleet (though I hope to do more rather than less). I also appreciate the active community the 44th seems to have and hope to have fun both here on the forum and in fleet activities in-game.
- Tell us about yourself: I have been a fan of Star Trek since first watching the original series movies and The Next Generation as a kid – I even dressed up as Captain Kirk (TOS) for Halloween and met James Doohan at a local comic book shop signing when I was in the second grade! I have always been fascinated with the world Gene Roddenberry created and the values it embodied, and have tried my best to incorporate that spirit of universal acceptance and understanding into my real life work as a clinical psychologist. Beyond Star Trek (not Star Trek, Beyond – ha!), I have several other interests and hobbies, including watching anime, reading (fiction and non-fiction), creative writing, drawing, swimming, jogging, hiking outdoors, exploring local attractions and museums (pre COVID-19), and engaging in other forms of casual gaming (primarily fighting and racing games).

Hello Mares!
Thanks for applying to the mighty 44th. You will receive your in-game invite next time you log in.
Join our 44th chat channel “44th-diplo” by typing the following into the chat window: /channel_join 44th-diplo.
This is used to communicate with our 44th Fleet, 44th Delta Fleet, 44th Gamma Fleet and our 44th Assault Squadron (KDF) – we don’t use the in-game fleet channel. We are four fleets acting as one.
As a new 44th Fleet Ensign you will be stationed for 6 weeks in the 44th Delta Fleet, (KDF’s go directly to our 44th Assault Sqn). For a promotion to Lieutenant and fleet store unlock you just need to meet 2 requirements:
1) Must have either logged into the game or posted on our 44th forum at least once during the review period of 2 weeks (which starts today);
2) Must be in good standing with the fleet.The fleet rank of Commander is earned after you’ve been with us for 6 weeks. Upon earning this rank, up to two of your characters can be transferred into 44th Fleet, and up to three can be put into 44th Delta Fleet at your discretion. Our promotion schedule is hosted publicly at our Trello Board.
Full access to the 44th forum has now been unlocked, feel free to look around. Please bookmark this forum to keep up with Fleet news, and see the most recent Sunday Supplemental to catch up.
Need some help with STO? Check out our FAQ, starting ship builds, and mechanics guide to help you on your way.
We are on twitter and use Discord for voice (not a requirement, but recommended).
As a mature, no-drama fleet the 44th caters to casual and hard-core players, so I’m sure you’ll fit right in.
Welcome aboard !
