Fleet Actions
Similar to raids in other MMORPGs, Fleet Actions are special missions in which up to 20 players must cooperate to achieve a common goal. These missions can take place both in space as well as on the ground. Contrary to the name, players do not have to be members of a fleet (Star Trek Online's guilds) to participate in some of these maps. However in Season 6: Under Siege special 'fleet action' maps and queues were released that do require a player to be currently in a fleet to participate. As such these special fleet actions reward a currency known as Fleet Marks in addition to Skill Points and Expertise that can be spent on projects through the fleet's holdings section via the fleet menu accessible from under the mini map to be used to help advance the fleet's starbase and other 'holdings' and projects.
In the Starbase 24 mission, the earliest accessible Fleet Action, players must work together to destroy 50 Klingon ships to protect the titular facility. Additionally, players can choose to beam down to the surface of Starbase 24 to complete various objectives.
Players who contribute the most in these battles are ranked upon completion and the highest-ranking contributors are awarded with powerful items ranging from green (uncommon), blue (rare), to in some instances purple (very rare) qualities.

Famous quotes containing the words fleet and/or actions:
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“As soon as we exceed average human goodness by even a single step, our actions arouse suspicion. Virtue stands steadily “in the middle.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
