Throughout the history of [[Starfleet]] and beforehand, fleets have existed in space. Some instances of these fleets are more striking than others. There are many times when the Federation has amassed large fleets for the defense of their territory, or other races. Federation fleets have been used in [[conflicts|battles]] such as [[Battle of Wolf 359]], the [[Battle of Sector 001]], the [[Dominion War]], and others.

A joint fleet of 128 starships led by the Enterprise NX-01 under Jonathan Archer composed of Vulcan, Andorian, Tellarite and Human vessels were used to create a massive sensor net to track down and neutralize a Romulan drone ship that was destabilizing the region. (ENT: "The Aenar")

In Melakon's 2268 Final Decision speech, he revealed that a space fleet was on its way toward Zeon, consisting of both manned and unmanned weapons. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")

The Jem'Hadar, Cardassians, and Breen utilized large fleets during the Dominion War. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D led a fleet of at least twenty Starfleet ships to the Klingon-Romulan border. Their mission was to establish a tachyon detection grid to detect the cloaked Romulan ships entering Klingon space with supplies for the House of Duras. (TNG: "Redemption II")
