In October of 2002, Star Fleet Command made another retired CINCSF, [[John_R._Brooks|Admiral John R. Brooks]], the new CINCGOLD following Crowell's retirement. Brooks was- and still is- a man cut from the same cloth as Crowell: a tough-as-nails officer who does not suffer foolishness or deception well. However, while Crowell had his share of combat experience, there are few in Star Fleet's history who can match Brooks' experience and success in combat. This gave Brooks an element of respect from the unit commanders that few flag officers have enjoyed- he had "been there." Brooks would serve as CINCGOLD from October, 2002 until April, 2007, when he would be reassigned as the Commander-in-Chief of [[Blue Fleet]]. | In October of 2002, Star Fleet Command made another retired CINCSF, [[John_R._Brooks|Admiral John R.

Due to budgetary cutbacks, Brooks would have a somewhat smaller resource pool from which to work than his predecessor. This fortold of dangerous times for Gold, for the tensions along the [[Gorn Hegemony]] border were threatening to boil over into all-out war while at the same time new enemies, such as the [[Woren Imperium]], began to make their presence felt. In a sign of the unrest during this time, [[DS13|Deep Space 13]] would be destroyed, as would the medical pavillion at Orestes. | Due to budgetary cutbacks, Brooks would have a somewhat smaller resource pool from which to work than his predecessor.

Gold has evolved into a smaller, more compact force with the re-opening of [[Blue Fleet]]. Now under the command of [[Gold_Fleet-_ADM_Conrad_Veld%2C_CINCGOLD|Admiral Conrad Veld]]- another former CINCSF- Gold has been quick to answer the threats emanating from the Orestes region with the opening of the [[Scimitar Expeditionary Force]], while at the same time reinforcing the rebuilt [[DS13|Deep Space 13]] as the headquarters of the beefed-up [[Krima Expeditionary Force]]. This has been a key reorganization, as rumblings from within the Gorn region indicate that the situation within the Gorn Hegemony might finally destabilize enough to explode, while at the same time the [[Echen F'don|Fardons]] have re-emerged as a player in the region. And though little has been heard from them in recent years, discounting the [[Borg]] would be a mistake. | Gold has evolved into a smaller, more compact force with the re-opening of [[Blue Fleet]].
