What Does Stonewall Fleet Offer Its Members in Star Trek Online?

Stonewall Fleet is a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and ally (GLBTA) fleet in Star Trek Online, founded in 2008 and described on its site as one of the oldest and largest fleets in the game. If you're looking for an established, identity-focused community with enough population that someone is usually online, it fits that need. If you want a small, tight-knit group or a competitive endgame outfit, the scale described here points the other way.

Community size and activity

The site reports 375 members and 1,296 characters, and states that "we always have someone online." That combination matters more than either number alone: a large roster spread across time zones is what produces the always-someone-online effect.

Character counts per fleet give a sense of where activity concentrates:

Fleets and holdings

Stonewall Fleet operates four in-game fleets, each listed at Level 56:

• Stonewall Fleet — main Federation fleet
• House of Nagh reD — main Klingon fleet
• Deep Space Stonewall — alternate Federation fleet
• Stonewall Legion — Romulan-themed fleet

All four being at the same level means you aren't choosing between a developed main fleet and a neglected alt fleet; the holdings are comparable across factions.

Part of a wider network

Stonewall Fleet is a member of the Stonewall Gaming Network, a multi-guild gaming community. The practical benefit is that your membership isn't limited to one game — the community exists beyond STO.

The fleet takes its name from the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, a series of public demonstrations against oppression that the site credits with setting off the Gay and Lesbian Rights Movement. That history is the stated reason the fleet exists as a GLBTA space rather than a general-purpose one.

Console players

Console support is organized through separate groups rather than the main fleet structure:

• Stonewall XB1 (Xbox One) — 58 followers
• Stonewall PS4 (PlayStation 4) — 61 followers

Both are described as "extremely casual gaming fleets designed for casual players that occasionally play the game." So if you play on console and want a low-commitment group, these are the relevant entry points — but don't expect the same scale or activity level as the PC-side fleets.

Communication and getting help

The fleet offers forums and a contact channel for questions. The site explicitly invites prospective members to post questions on the forums or reach out directly, which is the practical first step if you want to gauge activity or culture before joining.

Who this suits

• Good fit: players who want a long-running GLBTA community, cross-faction fleet options at equal development, and enough population that the fleet is rarely empty.
• Weaker fit: players seeking a small private group, or console players wanting the same depth of activity as the PC fleets — the console groups are explicitly casual and smaller.

To join, register on the site and, if you play on console, follow the relevant Xbox One or PS4 group.
