The '''2nd Fleet''' is one of the numbered fleets in the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] [[Star Fleet]]. Commanded by [[Commodore]] [[Nicholas Ristone]], the 2nd Fleet is headquartered at [[Star Base Bravo]] along the [[Federation-Romulan Neutral Zone]]. Its range of responsibility encompasses the area of Federation Space contiguous with the Federation-Romulan Neutral Zone and includes planets like [[CalderII]], [[Kaleb]], [[Dhar'hyyk]], and Iota Horologii, as well as the numerous Federation outposts along the border. Because of its proximity to the [[Romulan Star Empire]], the 2nd Fleet plays a vital role in Federation security and acts as a first responder in crisis situations. The Fleet's motto, ''In Omnia Paratus'' or Always Prepared, emphasizes its uniquely important role. <br/>
The 2nd Fleet has a number of duties and responsibilities, one of which is conflict deterrence. By maintaining a sizable presence near the Federation-Romulan Neutral Zone, the fleet's primary responsibility is to deter [[Romulan]] aggression. In the event of general war, the 2nd Fleet would be responsible for the theater of operations around the Neutral Zone. If required, the fleet is capable and powerful enough to provide and secure a foothold for other joint operations if a major event occurs. <br/>
On Stardate 20608.13, the [[USS Comet, BB-102|USS Comet]] rescued a battle-damaged [[Mirak Star League|Mirak]] vessel. After investigating, the Comet crew determined that the ship had been attacked by the same Viper aliens that invaded Federation space a few years earlier, in a battle in which the Comet itself had participated and survived.

On Stardate 20609.15, the [[USS Titan, CL-2007|USS Titan]] encountered a malevolent energy-based [[Kyogen|life form]] in [["Nebula FSG-477]] " while searching for the missing frigate, [[USS Denver, FF-6047|USS Denver]]. The life form attempted to gain control of the Titan's systems and systematically kill the crew, but the Titan crew was able to destroy the entity by ejecting the computer cores which he had invaded into space and then using their weapons to destroy them. They were eventually rescued by the USS Denver, which had had a similar encounter with the life form. ([[Mission Log 6 - Stardate 20609.15 "Ghost in the Machine"|"Ghost in the Machine"]]) <br/>
On Stardate 20612.21, the USS Titan participated in, along with the [[USS Philadelphia, FF-6053|USS Philadelphia]] from the [[1st Battle Group]], the capture of the renegade Star Fleet officer, Commander [[Avark]] on [[Tharos III]]. <br/>
