The Fleet Advancement System is a feature of Star Trek Online allowing fleets to gain fleet XP by leveling up different fleet holdings, e.g., a fleet starbase and a fleet embassy. The system was added as part of Season Six: Under Siege and requires the player to be a member of a fleet, which may consist of 1 to 500 players (5 needed to form).
