# -PTF- ARMADA > -PTF- Armada is an independent, non-commercial Star Trek Online PC player community spanning Federation and Klingon fleets under one shared Armada standard. Canonical website: https://ptfarmada.com/ This document is a machine-readable guide to the public website. It describes the same community, pages and policies presented to human visitors. It does not expose private administration, credentials or unpublished member information. ## Community overview - -PTF- supports multiple Federation and Klingon fleets through a shared operating standard. - Aligned fleets are parts of the same -PTF- community rather than separate partner groups. - Members use the community for PvE, PvP, events, team-finding, builds and practical Star Trek Online knowledge. - Ordinary membership is open. Discord is the active community hub but is not required for fleet membership. - -PTF- has longstanding roots in Star Trek Online PvP while supporting the wider game. ## Public pages ### Home URL: https://ptfarmada.com/ Overview of the shared -PTF- community model, how aligned fleets operate, the member experience and the main routes into the community. ### About URL: https://ptfarmada.com/about/ Public history and operating philosophy of the -PTF- Armada. The page distinguishes -PTF-'s earlier Star Trek Online PC PvP heritage from the Armada founded on 15 February 2025 by Flawless, Biebs and Morgen. It explains the Armada's early growth, how repeated member friction around promotions, access, banks and invitations was progressively standardised into the shared -PTF- operating model, the first-anniversary milestone of roughly 12,000 in-game characters across two Armadas, and the current aim of keeping routine administration in the background while knowledge and activity remain visible to members. Current scale is embedded as a build-time snapshot for non-JavaScript readers and refreshed client-side from public live sources when available. This build carries 3 Armadas, 39 fleets, 12,494 in-game characters and 550 Discord members as the last-known-good snapshot. If a live request fails, the valid build-time snapshot remains visible. ### Structure URL: https://ptfarmada.com/structure/ Current public Federation and Klingon Armada structure, including fleet position, level, roster, status and recorded ownership. The initial HTML contains the last-known-good fleet level and roster snapshot so non-JavaScript readers receive real values. The current build snapshot is combined level 2,480 and 12,494 roster entries across 39 fleets. Browser JavaScript then replaces those values with validated public Firebase data when fresher data is available. ### Resources URL: https://ptfarmada.com/resources/ A curated Star Trek Online PC directory covering build and combat-log tools, reference sites, official services, communities, creators, livestreams and specialist resources. Entries are reviewed periodically and outdated or unavailable resources are removed. ### Tools URL: https://ptfarmada.com/tools/ The home for free utilities from the -PTF- Armada. Tools use a shared -PTF- interface and individual tool URLs can be opened or shared directly. ### Fleet Contributions URL: https://ptfarmada.com/tools/fleet-contributions/ A browser-based Star Trek Online fleet utility. The user supplies two original STO fleet CSV exports from the same fleet. The tool compares entries present in both snapshots, calculates later Contribution Total minus earlier Contribution Total, omits zero gains and negative gains, and ignores entries missing from either snapshot. Rankings can be shown by account or character, the number of results can be changed live, and the current ranking can be exported as a shareable PNG. Processing occurs locally in the browser; the CSV files never leave the browser. Exported PNGs carry -PTF- provenance in the image, human-readable filename and standard PNG/XMP metadata. ### Fleet Hierarchy URL: https://ptfarmada.com/tools/fleet-hierarchy/ A browser-based Star Trek Online fleet utility. The user supplies one fleet CSV export. The tool groups entries by the literal Guild Rank values without interpreting rank titles, starts with a generic smaller-group-first hierarchy estimate, and lets the user arrange the detected ranks from highest to lowest. Members are shown by account handle with character name as secondary context. Contribution Total is used only as an optional deterministic within-rank sort when that column is available and is never displayed. Processing occurs locally in the browser; the CSV file is not uploaded to -PTF-. Exported hierarchy PNGs carry -PTF- provenance in the image, human-readable filename and standard PNG/XMP metadata. ### Connect URL: https://ptfarmada.com/connect/ Official -PTF- contact routes and public channels. Discord is the main community hub. The page also identifies official X, YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, Facebook and Steam presences, in-game connection guidance and the Senior Leadership email route for private or official matters. ### Invite Me URL: https://ptfarmada.com/invite/ Allows a player to request an in-game Federation or Klingon fleet invite using an exact `Character@Handle`. No Discord account is required. The player self-confirms the relevant in-game privacy settings because the website cannot read them. Requests are human-verified before submission. ### Status URL: https://ptfarmada.com/status/ Manually maintained notices for the public website, live Structure data, the separate fleet invite service and external community contact services. The page does not claim continuous automated uptime monitoring. It also records dated, provider-issued independent website checks with explicit limitations. ## Policies and notices ### Privacy URL: https://ptfarmada.com/privacy/ Plain-English information about the limited personal data involved in operating and securing the website, responding to messages and administering authorised Firebase access. It also records that Fleet Contributions and Fleet Hierarchy CSV processing stays local to the browser and that the Home, About and Structure pages make credentialless public-data requests to Discord and Google Firebase. The site does not maintain its own visitor analytics database and does not use personal data for advertising or behavioural profiling. ### Cookies URL: https://ptfarmada.com/cookies/ The public site does not intentionally set analytics, advertising or marketing cookies. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary mechanisms for delivery and security. Fleet Hierarchy can store a local preference keyed by fleet name and containing the user-selected rank-name order so the same browser can restore it; authorised Admin use can also involve temporary browser storage and Firebase authentication storage. The Home, About and Structure pages make credentialless public-data requests to Discord and Google Firebase; external destinations also apply their own policies after a visitor follows a link away from ptfarmada.com. ### Terms and notices URL: https://ptfarmada.com/terms/ Practical terms covering acceptable use, external links, availability, copyright and trademarks. -PTF- does not sell products or services or take payments through this website. ### Accessibility URL: https://ptfarmada.com/accessibility/ -PTF- targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA and uses keyboard navigation, browser-zoom support, semantic landmarks, clear headings and appropriate image alternatives.
