# Fleets

When you first form a fleet in <mark style="color:blue;">**Space Guardians**</mark>, your fleet will be assigned to a randomly chosen location within the <mark style="color:green;">**Nekon**</mark> star system. This may be a star, a moon, a derelict space station etc.&#x20;

This location will be your home for the foreseeable future, however there will be options for you to relocate your **Fleet Head Quarters (FHQ)** later.

From here you will undertake the task of raising the required funding and gathering the materials needed to craft your [**Fleet Carrier**](https://defverse.gitbook.io/defverse-nft/sg/game-design/social-system/fleets/fleet-carriers).  Let's not jump ahead though, first step in this process is to recruit!

### Step One:  Recruitment

So you've created your first fleet and you're ready to recruit?   Then let's get started.\
\
Fleets may initially consist of up to 30 members; however, this can be increased up to 100 members as your fleet develops and grows in strength. For the aspiring Fleet Commanders among you, recruitment is your first job. \
\
A fleet is not a fleet without a swarm of combat ready, blood hungry, space junkies under your command. Time to find some comrades to enlist.&#x20;

Recruit your friends and family or source some of the finest pilots to ever grace the <mark style="color:green;">**Nekon**</mark> star system, directly from our fleet finder.
