STARFLEET is the 22+ year old fan organization whose members
(4000+) are united the world over in their appreciation of Star Trek:
The Greatest Human Adventure. Hundreds of chapters worldwide link
members into local fandom as well as the International organization.
STARFLEET. We are people of all ages and from all walks of life who enjoy
Star Trek in all its forms -- the three season original series, the major
motion pictures, the television series (The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine,
Voyager), and the numerous books and magazines. Our Prime Directive is to
share our interest in Star Trek in an open environment, to serve our
community, and to have fun. All interested persons are welcome to join us.
Your membership in STARFLEET includes a subscription to the Communique, our
bi-monthly newsletter. It contains information on upcoming Star Trek movies,
shows, conventions, and club events. It also contains articles of general
interest to Star Trek fans.
Star Trek. Its debut on television 30+ years ago was the
first successful mass visualization of the future. Its enduring strength
arose from the fact that it was the first science fiction show to emphasize
plot and character -- and to present a universe where people of all races
worked together to solve common problems.
Throughout an original three season run, a cartoon sequel, a number of major
motion pictures, three new television series, and numerous books, the dream
lives on. Classic Trek gave us more than an escape from the turbulent 60's.
It offered hope for the future. When it was canceled, Bjo Trimble's
successful grassroots campaign to keep it on the air made television history.
Star Trek taught us that we can control mass media -- we do have a say over
our environment ... and our destiny.
Join us as we celebrate the future today, and look forward to a brighter
tomorrow!
The meetings of the Starships (clubs) of the Fleet offer opportunities to have fun
while you serve your community. We recognize crew members who have done
extra service or distinguished themselves in service to STARFLEET. In
keeping with the problem-solving themes of Star Trek, our members do more
than meet and talk about the show. The crews of the Fleet are active in
support of charity. We believe that time is our most valuable gift, so we
donate time to help persons and charitable organizations. We conduct
fundraisers and volunteer our services to help our community.
Each club member brings his or her special abilities to the group. We
recognize this value by assigning fictional ranks and positions within the
Fleet, reflecting the interests of the members. In addition, participation
allows the individual to advance in fictional rank.
We study science. Outer space holds mystery, but our own
ever-changing planet offers a lifetime of study. We keep abreast of current
scientific projects and share our knowledge through programs we conduct in
the community.
We support the arts. Creative writing, art, model building, and
craft events are but a few of the human endeavors in which we are interested.
We enjoy athletics. A healthy mind controls a healthy body, and
we value physical activity for fun. We challenge other ships and conduct fun
athletic events.
Finally, we play. Our ships go on Away Missions to visit other
Star Trek clubs, conventions, and theme parks. The Fleet is like an extended
family. The closer we get to know one another, the more respect we have for
the diversity we shall see.
