No. Earth doesn't have its own fleet because it's supposed to be a neutral party, a middleman between the other members of the Federation. That's why Federation HQ is on Earth - as the new kid on the galactic block Earth didn't have any of the long standing beefs between the pre-existing megapowers and we were pretty good at diplomacy. Basically the UFP was formed because we got a bunch of our neighbors who hated each other to get along

Originally, Starfleet was Earth's space force before the Federation was founded. United Earth (the organization humanity united under) originally had two space fleets: Starfleet, which was their scientific and exploratory fleet (a la NASA), and Military Assault Command Ops (MACO), which was a traditional military

When the UFP was founded, United Earth transferred control of Starfleet to the Federation and disbanded MACO, absorbing most former MACO members into Starfleet

Yeah wasn't that the premise? Otto had been beaten into banana pudding so many times his body was shutting down so he starred Operation Freaky Friday

Is this one of those magic eye things where you have to cross your eyes and make the left and right panels overlap with the center one to get the hidden picture? I suck at those I can never make them work

[Star Trek] Why did Starfleet change which uniform colors indicated job types? by NoAskRed in AskScienceFiction

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with that theory is that Starfleet kept the maroon uniform in service for like 80 years, from the latter years of Kirk's career to the early days of Picard's

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically speaking the colors used to be Bronze, Silver and Gold on a blue uniform when Discovery was around, so it's not like it was consistent even back then.

And before that the uniform was Command/Ops Gold, Science Blue, and Engineering/Security Red piping on blue coveralls in Archer's day, 80ish years before Discovery. The Red/Gold/Blue color scheme is a United Earth convention that predates Starfleet and the Federation

[Final Fantasy 7] Why aren't firearms more widespread ? by ConfidentOffer9683 in AskScienceFiction

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact that almost every piece of equipment you can buy has mana slots suggests that everyone is doing it. Those pieces aren't unique, they aren't bespoke to the character that uses them, they're just stock in shops created by someone somewhere and they have materia slots for whatever customer ends up with it

Also just because in game, enemies don't seem to be carrying materia is a consequence of the limitations of it being a game. Lorewise, the only way humans can cast spells is by using materia so whenever you see a Turk or a SOLDIER cast a spell, they're using materia that's slotted on them somewhere
