The USS Dauntless is a Star Trek fan community and a chapter of STARFLEET International. It is a group of fans who promote Star Trek as a vision for the future, acting toward that future. The organization uses a starship metaphor to structure its activities.

The Dauntless is a volunteer organization, not a cosplay group, where members take pride in their uniforms, ranks and titles. The group engages in social events, Away Missions, and public service. Members are expected to embody the values of the fictional Starfleet.
