- Earth Fleet - starting with the transition from the UESF to the UFP Star Fleet in 2161, Earth designated their ships with EFS.
- ESA - no prefixes; just named vessels, sometimes accompanied by a missions-series name (ex: Ponce de León - Aventeur II)
- ISA - same as the ESA, except for rescue/regulatory cutters which are preceded by IRC, for either ISA Rescue Cutter or ISA Regulatory Cutter
- ISA/NASA - Joint interplanetary missions used USNS, for United Survey and Navigation Ship
- New United Nations - United Nations Space Ship (UNSS); ship prefix for the names of the non-enforcement/governmental interplanetary vessels of the United Nations and the NUN’s early interstellar vessels operated by the ISA.
- UESN - UES, for United Earth Ship
- UESF - starting with its founding in 2133, Starfleet re-designated all vessels as UESS, for United Earth Space Ship
