So im wondering if there any fleets that are only one race. For example, Ferasan Shadow Force is only for Ferasans. Are there any fleets just for Remans?
Talaxians? Lib Borg? Joined Trills? Caitians?
Which are they? Note that im referencing special elite species, as other ordinary free species arent special enough to necessitate their own exclusive club
Im asking because my Reman needs something special.
Thanks.

Isn't House of Beautiful Orions an all Orion club?
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
I think that's more the Principles of the Federation.
However... there is a Canon instance of a ship having an all Vulcan crew in Starfleet. I believe it was the T'Kumbra, under the command of Captain Solok. Challenged DS9 to a baseball game and... because of Vulcan strength... pretty much curbstomped them. But at least it wasn't a total shutout.
Solok's despicable attitude is an example of why segregated crews should be completely against Starfleet policy. If someone like Solok can't handle being around other species without making a racist pig out of himself, then he doesn't have a place in Starfleet IMO. Here's a paper for you: Sisko got drunk and had a barfight once as a cadet. Solok had an attitude problem, every day of his life, as an "adult." Who's the "inferior being" now (and by that I mean the quality or lack thereof of someone's character).

This is star trek. They deal with the extremes of the extreme to make an episode.
So taking one story and actually taking any deep meaning from it is very naive.
All hail humans, I pity the fools who call us weak.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

Maybe, but if you look at either Diane Duane's TOS books, or the USS Titan series, you can see how integration even of vastly different species can be accomplished. Both of those showed how some very extreme things could be accommodated. I suspect very little is beyond accommodation in the 24th/25th century. Even if not ALL species could be on EVERY ship, IMO everyone should have to deal with others who are not like them as a prerequisite to being a Starfleet officer, even if that means "multiple species with a similarly high gravity requirement." Or in some cases where it's possible and the accommodations are available, perhaps humans might be the ones requiring special assistance to participate in a given environment. However, insularity breeds contempt as well as reducing adaptability. One thing you learn in management is that diversity isn't just outward or legally protected stuff. It's also different life experiences, different ways of thinking, different learning styles, etc. As long as discipline is carried out consistently for everyone, without playing favorites, and so that the crew is not at each other's throats but sees itself as a team, a diverse crew is more likely to innovate and solve problems better than a homogeneous crew. Vulcans (and members of all other species) who cannot tolerate this should not be in Starfleet, but in either a civilian position or the *planetary* guards of their worlds. And *attitude problems,* like a Vuocan with a smug attitude toward other species should be explicitly disciplined when encountered, not encouraged.

Oh you mean like the T'kumbra, The Intrepid or the Hera?
Use a anti-telepathy device against a crew of Vulcans and they're screwed. Use a anti-telepathy device against a crew made of various species and while the Vulcans and Betazoids may be down, the rest can dispatch the device while merely feeling mild headaches.
They have at least two Ferasan members, so no. They may have started out that way, but they're not anymore.
This is why I so much prefer the Trek presentation of telepathy, it's as much a liability as an advantage.
I play Vulcans and other telepathic species and I make sure to RP them accordingly, they have to take extra precautions sometimes for all their "enhanced" abilities.

Then maybe a talaxian fleet if i roll one someday. Like the Talaxian refugees on Neelix's asteroid. Or a lib borg, like the cooperative.....
There is no CANON evidence to say that the Hera had a predominantly Vulcan crew. Besides... her captain was human.
I have to agree with this. Solok was a jerk. Even though Sisko and his team lost, I think the fact they did score one, even with a diverse team that had pretty much 0 experience, was a pretty good slap to the face for Solok.
Which again goes back to my diversity argument: it's not just about high notions of tolerance, but also a very practical thing, to ensure a variety of strengths are on hand and that we (both generally IRL, and in the fictional setting) are not all compromised by the same weaknesses. It's about somebody being there to support us when we fall because not everybody will have been struck down by that same thing, and someone else may have the strength or the knowledge that we don't, to help us get back up.

Take that to level of species in the UFP. The Vulcans aboard the USS Intrepid could not cope because it wasn't in their nature. Starfleet would want to prevent that type of catastrophe.
Remember IDIC.

But then i could just put a group together to found one and let one of the other founders run the show. Are there enough Remans to support a all Reman fleet?
Edit: didnt mean to offend anyone, i just understand it takes a lot of time to properly manage a fleet, tons of managerial stuff.
we don't have an all Reman fleet but, look up the Imperial Romulan Fleet, we've been around since beta, go here - http://www.romulanstarempire.com/ (would have linked the location in the forums itself...once again I am lost...)
So if my Kdf Rem wanted an all Reman fleet, then Fed Rems couldnt join. Same with Roms. So a fleet of only kdf Rems would be a very small niche. If that is true. That theory would be in place for talaxians and lib borg due to the factional separation.
That's why lots of "Romulan/Reman fleets" have two branches: KDF and Fed for members that are allied with one and/or the other.
As far as I interpret ST. its about how humans have over come all its own negative stereotype to be a peace loving, knowledge seeking self bettering species and the aliens represent the old negative whys humans use to be. witch is way you may come across single specie crews. and money loving/greedy species. but there are ships with only humans on them. just not federation Starfleet ships I think.
So true, poor guy was just looking for a reman fleet
