How Old and Large Is Stonewall Fleet in Star Trek Online?

Updated

Stonewall Fleet was founded in 2008, making it one of the oldest fleets in Star Trek Online, and it reports 375 members with 1,296 characters across four in-game fleets. It describes itself as STO's premier gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally fleet and is part of the Stonewall Gaming Network, a multi-guild gaming community. Those figures come from the fleet's own site, so treat them as the fleet's stated size rather than a live roster count.

Age: Founded in 2008

The fleet's founding year is the anchor for its "oldest and largest" claim. Star Trek Online launched in 2010, so a 2008 founding predates the game itself — the community was organized before the game it now plays. That longevity is the main reason the fleet positions itself as one of STO's oldest.

The name is a deliberate reference: the fleet is named after the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, the demonstrations the site credits with setting off the Gay and Lesbian Rights Movement.

Size: 375 members, 1,296 characters

Measure Figure
Members 375
Characters 1,296

Fleet level (each) 56

The gap between 375 members and 1,296 characters is normal for STO: one account can hold multiple characters, so the character count reflects how many playable captains the membership has spread across the game.

The four fleets and their holdings

Stonewall Fleet isn't a single in-game fleet — it's a set of four, all at Level 56:

  • Stonewall Fleet (Level 56) — main Federation fleet, 340 characters
  • House of Nagh reD (Level 56) — main Klingon fleet, 297 characters
  • Deep Space Stonewall (Level 56) — alternate Federation fleet, 497 characters
  • Stonewall Legion (Level 56) — Romulan-themed fleet, 186 characters

Deep Space Stonewall carries the largest character count (497), while Stonewall Legion is the smallest (186). Having all four at the same level means members aren't choosing between a developed fleet and a starter one.

Consoles: Xbox One and PlayStation 4

The fleet also runs console groups, and the site is explicit about their character:

  • 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." If you want the full-scale, long-running fleet experience, the PC-side fleets are the larger operation; the console groups are the lighter option.

What this means if you're deciding whether to join

  • If age and stability matter to you, a 2008 founding and four Level 56 fleets are the strongest signals here — the infrastructure is already built.
  • If you play on console, expect a casual group rather than the main fleet structure; the site points you to register and follow the Xbox One or PS4 groups.
  • If you want an active roster, the fleet's own claim is that with 375 members and 1,296 characters "we always have someone online" — a claim worth testing yourself by joining and checking activity in your play window.

To go further, the fleet directs prospective members to register, and says questions can go to its contact page or forums.
