	===Post-Rapprochement===		===Post-Rapprochement===
			According to the Rapprochement treaty terms:

			* Humans were not initially allowed to join Fleet (or participate in any way with contracting or R&D) for a hundred years post-rapprochement ("[[Rapprochement#Treaty Stipulations\|the Hundred Years Proof]]")
			* When that hundred years elapsed in 241 BA, no one changed the ruling, and it defaulted to another hundred year proof period.
			* 167 years later, in 308 BA, it was challenged by a teen boy who wanted to join, who'd been born on a Pelted world. This opened Fleet formally to humans.
			* Transfers from the human armed forces were instated in 388 BA. This was probably the time when the [[Fleet Manual]] was overhauled.

	The program of borrowing humans from the [[Terran Space Navy]] is relatively recent, and went along with a series of amendments to the [[Fleet Manual]], not all of which were popular.<ref name="sota-01">''[[Sword of the Alliance (Fiction) \|Sword of the Alliance]]'', chapter 1</ref>		The program of borrowing humans from the [[Terran Space Navy]] is relatively recent, and went along with a series of amendments to the [[Fleet Manual]], not all of which were popular.<ref name="sota-01">''[[Sword of the Alliance (Fiction) \|Sword of the Alliance]]'', chapter 1</ref>

	The United Alliance Fleet is the space navy of the [[Pelted]] [[Alliance]], a quasi-military operation with bigger guns than traditions; their activities are similar to the Coast Guard's throughout most of their initial history. Officers are trained at the various campuses of [[Fleet Academe]]; Fleet Headquarters is in orbit around the planet [[Selnor]].

	Fleet has gone through several iterations of its insignia/sigil, which was initially a four-pointed star, and then an eight-pointed star, and then moved to the eagle; this is not a Terran eagle, as might be assumed, but a [[Selnor]] species known as the hook-nosed eagle, which is found only at very high altitudes.		Fleet has gone through several iterations of its insignia/sigil, which was initially a four-pointed star, and then an eight-pointed star, and then moved to the eagle; this is not a Terran eagle, as might be assumed, but a [[Selnor]] species known as the hook-nosed eagle, which is found only at very high altitudes. The head of the hook-nosed eagle resembles (superficially) the clawed toe of a digitigrade Pelted, which is one of the reasons it was selected. (The others being that it was a Selnor-native bird of prey, and its predilection for high aeries.)
