Mystic Universe Log: The Origin of Fleet Divisions (2007 → Present)
There’s something I realized going back through my older notes.
What I thought were just early ideas… were actually the foundation of everything we’re doing now.
Back in 2007, during what I now think of as the evacuation phase, the fleet wasn’t organized as divisions. Everything was grouped together, and I needed a way to make sense of it fast.
So I broke it down by position:
Front.
Rear.
Left.
Right.
Then added what didn’t fit cleanly into direction:
Alternate.
Advanced.
Scout.
Core.
At the time, it wasn’t a “system.” It was just survival logic—where ships needed to be and what they needed to do.
But looking at it now, that was the first version of what would later become the division structure.
The Original 8 Formation Roles
Front handled first contact.
Rear protected what mattered most.
Left and Right held the formation together.
Alternate stayed flexible.
Advanced pushed ahead of the group.
Scout operated independently.
Core held command and stability.
Everything had a place, even if I didn’t call it that yet.
2014 – When Formation Became Structure
By the time United Worlds came around, those positions didn’t disappear.
They changed form.
The 8 roles became divisions.
Instead of physical placement, they became assignments:
- Ships weren’t just “left” or “front” anymore
- They belonged to a role, a function
That shift is what led to Fleet Core.
Fleet Core → MS1
What used to be “Core” in the formation is now MS1.
It’s no longer just the center of a cluster—it’s the command layer over everything.
From there:
- Divisions operate
- Stations coordinate
- Ships deploy
From One Formation to a Network
Today, the fleet isn’t grouped together like it was in 2007.
It’s spread across:
- MS1 (Fleet Core)
- MS2–MS7 (Mega Stations)
- DS9 (Operational Hub)
- DSX (Command Layer above DS9)
Ships are no longer clumped.
They’re assigned.
Stations aren’t just locations.
They’re anchors.
Scout Division (Then and Now)
One thing that stands out is Scout.
Even in the original formation, Scout didn’t belong to a direction.
It was already separate.
That’s why today it fits naturally as:
- DS9 deployment
- deep space operations
- drone investigation
It was always meant to go beyond the formation.
The Connection to Episode 1
The drones we saw earlier weren’t random.
Looking at this now, they fit into the same pattern:
- mapping
- scanning
- observing
What we’re doing with fleet mapping today might not be new.
We might be continuing something that already started.
Closing Thought
What started as a way to organize ships during an evacuation…
became:
- divisions
- fleet core
- mega stations
- and a full command network
I didn’t plan that at the time.
But the structure was already there.
And now we’re finally seeing it clearly.
