Template:Braches of Starfleet

Because of the time delays involved in many subspace communications, Starfleet Command also includes a network of administrative and support outposts known as starbases throughout the Federation. Starfleet's starships operate out of these starbases under the supervision of various admirals, the senior officers of the fleet.

By 2364, Starfleet Command had been infiltrated by neural parasite aliens, who had physically infiltrated the bodies of several high-ranking Starfleet officials, which included Admiral Gregory Quinn, Admiral Aaron, and Admiral Savar. The parasitic mother creature had housed in the body of Lt. Commander Dexter Remmick. The aliens were prevented from taking over Starfleet Command by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Commander William Riker of the USS Enterprise-D, who, by destroying the mother creature, killed all alien parasites on the planet. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

In late 2373, Starfleet Command made a decision that would change the Federation forever. They agreed with Benjamin Sisko, that no more Dominion ships could be allowed into the Alpha Quadrant. The mining of the Bajoran wormhole was the catalyst of the Dominion War. (DS9: "Call to Arms")

The term "Starfleet" and "Starfleet Command" were first used in TOS: "Court Martial".
