Starfleet Third Fleet

The Third Fleet was a United Federation of Planets fleet on active duty in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

Around the time of the Genesis incident, the Third Fleet was commanded by Admiral Foy, with USS Excalibur serving as flagship. The Third was then based at Starbase 7. (Research Anthology: "Genesis Project System 7: Survey Scans and Reports")

When the Dominion War began in late 2373, the Third Fleet was assigned to the defence of Sector 001 and in particular, Earth. A large number of ships from the fleet were in the Sol system not long after the first shots of the war were fired. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "Deployment")

The Third Fleet was joined by the Ninth Fleet in the defence of Earth. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "Moral Actions")

In planning for Operation Return a significant number of ships were diverted to take part in the operation. This left the Third Fleet as the only significant Starfleet force between the Dominion and Earth. Starfleet Command was initially concerned that if the Dominion ignored the strike at Deep Space 9 and instead headed for Earth that the Third Fleet would not be able to hold the line until it could be reinforced. (DS9: "Favor the Bold")

In 2375, the Third Fleet was taken by surprise by the Breen when they assaulted their outer defense perimeter at Neptune. The Third Fleet fought for two hours to hold the Breen at bay but were unable to stop them from reaching Earth. The attack saw 139 starships destroyed. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)

The ships of the Third began operating in the Oralian sector as early as 2377. In 2381, Admiral Christopher Truman was given command of the Third Fleet during the Coalition War. In 2382, a large portion of the Third participated in the Battle of Minark. (Star Trek: Pioneer (STP): "In Custody", "Torment and Woe")
