  • The United Earth Starfleet, often known simply as Starfleet, was the space agency of United Earth in the mid 22nd century, prior to the formation of the United Federation of Planets and the Federation Starfleet.
  • Starfleet was chartered in the early 22nd century, presumably as a branch of the United Earth Space Probe Agency. Jonathan Archer joined soon after its inception, after previously considering joining the Earth Cargo Service. The United Earth Starfleet was responsible for several key warp test flights, including the NX-Alpha. (ENT episode: "First Flight")
  • Earth Starfleet’s main duty was to "seek out new life and new civilizations" and to "go boldly where no man has gone before" (this quote is credited as being from Zefram Cochrane and was later used by the Federation Starfleet). While a civilian organization it did adopt many of the ranks and traditions of the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy. Its uniforms were pretty much the same for everyone except for color coded elements to distinguish between departments and rank insignia. It also built a second ship the Columbia NX-02 .

abstract
  • Earth Starfleet’s main duty was to "seek out new life and new civilizations" and to "go boldly where no man has gone before" (this quote is credited as being from Zefram Cochrane and was later used by the Federation Starfleet). While a civilian organization it did adopt many of the ranks and traditions of the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy. After the attack on Earth by the Xindi, the elite military unit of Earth (MACOs) stationed a unit on the Enterprise NX-01 to aid in its search for the Xindi. Which was also a first step to the unification of the Earth Starfleet and its military. Its uniforms were pretty much the same for everyone except for color coded elements to distinguish between departments and rank insignia. Some personnel worked for the United Earth Diplomatic Corps but its unsure if this was part of Starfleet like Starfleet Operations or Starfleet Security. One of its primary duties was to build a fast and viable engine which would allow humans to travel across the galaxy. One of Earth Starfleet’s most famous ships was the nx-class Enterprise which made first contact with over 30 species and made an alliance with the Andorians. It also built a second ship the Columbia NX-02 . Starfleet had absolutely no control over ships operating under the Earth Cargo Service and had to leave it to the Earth Cargo Authority. Earth Starfleet was succeeded upon the signing of the Federation Charter by the Federation Starfleet.
  • Starfleet was chartered in the early 22nd century, presumably as a branch of the United Earth Space Probe Agency. Jonathan Archer joined soon after its inception, after previously considering joining the Earth Cargo Service. The United Earth Starfleet was responsible for several key warp test flights, including the NX-Alpha. (ENT episode: "First Flight") In 2151, Starfleet launched Enterprise NX-01 its first Warp Five vessel, followed in 2153 by Columbia NX-02. These two ships were largely responsible for establishing United Earth as a legitimate interstellar power and paving the way for the founding of the Federation. Unlike its future incarnation, the Earth Starfleet was not a military organization, but rather was purely scientific and exploratory in its mission. MACOs fulfilled any military functions needed aboard Earth Starfleet vessels. (ENT episode: "The Expanse") This separation of roles underwent modification with the creation of the Coalition of Planets, and in the lead-up to the Earth-Romulan War, when Starfleet was called upon more and more to provide defensive and offensive service.
