Starfleet would serve as the exploratory and defense service of the United States. Its function would be for the advancement of knowledge about the earth and its inhabitants, the advancement of science and technology, the military defense of the United States, and the practice of diplomacy with other nations.
Foremost, Starfleet would strive to promote peace, coexistence, and cooperation with the other nations of the world and act as a center of education for the applied and theoretical sciences to all whom it may interest.
The world is growing smaller in a sense and it is time to lay the foundation for a peaceful and united Earth.
