   @kfury I thought there was a deal with, like, Andorrians all like to serve together, so there are mostly Andorrian Starfleet vessels, and Tellurians like to serve together, so they have their own vessels that are also part of Starfleet. The food, atmosphere, temperature and pressure are all comfortable for each group. Individual humans might serve on this or that vessel, but Starfleet ships mostly have people of the same planetary origin on them.

     I consider myself a Star Trek fan, but I don't understand the Starfleet's relationship to the Federation. Is Starfleet the military arm of the entire Federation? Or is it just the Earth's military force, like the US Armed Forces is just one part of NATO's military force?

     Why don't we ever see ships built by other races conducting Starfleet operations? In canon we see Vulcan ships and others representing other Federation worlds, but none ever seem part of Starfleet ops.
