"Its the rules you break that makes
you famous"
McArthur Earth General
The SSTF is a special forces branch within
Starfleet dedicated to "Safeguarding
the Federation against serious internal threats".
When Federation members violate the Federation
charter, or if there are hints of strife
between Federation members, the SSTF is called
in to deal with it, achieving peace through
a mix of diplomacy, military force and intelligence
gathering. SSTF members are usually intensely
loyal to the Federation and idealistic in
the extreme. There is a tridition for SSTF
members to renounce citizenship on ther home
planet and proclaim "the Federation
is my home." This is not legally binding
but the oath does emphasize the impartiality
that is one of the most highly valued qualities
of the SSTF
For the last twinty years , dissension
within
the Federation has been extremaly rare,
and
SSTF members have become indiscernible
from
the rest of Starfleet except that they
read
more reports and do more paperwork.
Nonetheless,
selection for SSTF duty is considered
one
of the highest honor that can be bestowed
by Starfleet.
