Gold Fleet was one of the first fleets, along with [[Blue Fleet]], created when the club grew to the size needing administrative subdivisions in 1994- thus the designation as Star Fleet's "1st Fleet." The present incarnation of the fleet dates to January 1999 when it was reopened after a two-year hiatus. Headquartered at Starbase Beta above Andor (the Andorian homeworld), Gold Fleet is charged with protecting the core worlds of the Federation Treaty Expansion Territory and with patrolling the borders of and exploring the region of rimward Beta quadrant space of the Scutum Arm, Orion Spur and 3-Kiloparsec Arm.

The Gold Fleet Patrol Cordon borders a number of interstellar powers. These include the [[Romulan Star Empire]], [[Gorn Hegemony]], [[Tholian Holdfast]], and [[Echen F'don|Fardon Empire]]. The small [[Gorn Confederacy]] actually lies entirely within the Federation Treaty Expansion Territory near the border with the [[Gorn Hegemony]].

Gold Fleet Command is modeled loosely after the late twentieth century surface navies of the United States and Great Britain with the understanding that, in addition to traditional naval fiction which focuses on the drama of naval service, the mission profiles may also echo that of historical Ages of Exploration where naval ships conducted solo exploration at the behest of their patrons. A balance of multi-ship scenarios, solo voyages, and interlocking storylines is to be expected.
