We have been very happy with the crew reactions to the Seventh Fleet Bingo. This is our game we are playing for the entire year of 2023 to celebrate our organization’s 25th anniversary. Keep sending your photos into Bingo@SeventhFleet.org. We will be posting some very soon on this blog.

The crew of the USS Kelly are making plans to attend the Las Vegas Star Trek convention coming up on August 3-6. Details are still being worked out, but they would like to extend an invitation to go with them.

The third season of Star Trek: Picard has been knocking it out of the park. Every Thursday is a celebration to sit down and watch new Star Trek. We can’t wait for the upcoming seasons of Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and other seasons that will soon be released on Paramount+.

There are a couple of you who purchased the Seventh Fleet calendar and haven’t picked it up yet. If you are missing a calendar, please let us know. The commanding officers should have the calendars for the chapter orders.

Don’t forget that we are also active on our Seventh Fleet Discord Server. We have special channels for posting your bingo pictures, memes, events, rolplaying, and even a spoiler section if you can’t wait to talk about the latest episodes. Feel free to join us.

At the Admiral’s Banquet, there was an opportunity to order custom t-shirts with various funny Star Trek sayings on them. The cost is $15 a shirt. The following designs are available by emailing valkyrie63534@gmail.com.

Congratulations To:
Lt. Commander Jennifer Lee who was named the Executive Officer on the USS Valkyrie.

So the 2023 Admiral’s Banquet was a great success. If you missed it, you missed some good food and some good times with friends. We had a chance to watch a special video from Friend of the Fleet, Larry “Dr. Trek” Nemecek congratulating the members for making it to 25 years as a Star Trek club. Many thanks to the members of the USS Valkyrie for putting together the wonderful pasta bar that we all enjoyed. Captain Ann Knowlton ran another successful silent auction and we want to thank the City of Richmond for use of their wonderful facility. The USS Kelly is hosting the 2024 Admiral’s Banquet which is tentatively planned for Saturday, January 27th. They are already working on the plans for this event.

And speaking of the Seventh Fleet 25th Anniversary, we are celebrating all year long. At the banquet we had a presentation giving us the different challenges that we are all participating in for 25th Anniversary Bingo. This was inspired by the Enterprise Bingo seen on the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode “Spock Amok“. To find out the details, head over to our special page located at Bingo.SeventhFleet.org. There you can see the explanations of the different challenges and how you can get credit for doing them. Don’t forget, if you post them to social media, use the hashtags of #7thFleet25 and #WeDoNotStandAlone.

The crew of the USS Kelly are making plans to attend the Las Vegas Star Trek convention coming up on August 3-6. Details are still being worked out, but they would like to extend an invitation to go with them.

Friends, Members

Rest in Peace Roger Taylor (1970-2022)

Leave a comment
Captain Roger Taylor of the USS Essex

“Death is that state in which one exists only in the memory of others which is why it is not an end.” Yar- Skin of Evil, Stardate: 41601.3

On December 20, 2022, Captain Roger Taylor, Commanding Officer of the USS Essex, passed away in his Ogden, Utah apartment. After he had not responded to communications, a family member went to check on him only to discover his body. He had recently been experiencing heart issues which contributed to his passing.

Roger served in the US Navy. After retiring from the military, he served as a security guard at a Salt Lake area IT company. This is where he met several Seventh Fleet members who encouraged him to become a member. Besides Star Trek and gaming, he loved raising a bird named Charley, writing, playing video games, building military models and baking.

Roger joined the Seventh Fleet in 2008. With his Star Trek knowledge, his love of Star Trek role-playing games and writing, he quickly rose through the ranks. Eventually becoming the Executive Officer of the USS Retributor before moving onto command of the Essex.

When the Seventh Fleet was using the Decipher entry into the Star Trek Roleplaying Game, Captain Taylor wrote and co-wrote several guidebooks for member use. He also filled the Gamemaster duties for several chapters that wanted to hold RPG sessions. With the release of the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game by Modiphius, Captain Taylor wrote several articles that were published on the Seventh Fleet blog and at the STA fan website, Continuing Mission. We have several more articles that have not been posted, but will be scheduled soon. Captain Taylor also ran and homebrewed for the Serenity roleplaying game as well.

Roger’s family have set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses. If you can, please donate. Remember: “We Do Not Stand Alone.” We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Roger’s family at this time.

Hailing Frequencies Open December 2022

As we reach the last month of the year, we look back with many fond memories. We were able to finally start getting together as a Star Trek family. We were able to attend conventions and club meetings. We are very proud of how this group stuck together and helped everyone out in challenging times. This is part of the spirit of community that we’ve been able to foster.

The due date to order your 2023 Seventh Fleet Calendar is December 18th. This is when your $10/issue needs to be delivered to your commanding officer. Remember that we need to reach a minimum of 50 calendars to get our price (which has not changed since we started doing the calendar 11 years ago).

The 2023 Admiral’s Banquet is quickly approaching. This will be held on Saturday, January 28th at the Richmond City facility in Utah (that we’ve held the banquet in the past). Since everyone liked the Noon start time at the last banquet, we will be sticking with this time for the next event. The USS Valkyrie will be hosting the event and the meal will be in the theme of a cantina. More details will be forthcoming, but mark your calendars to attend. This is one of the few fleet-wide events that we host.

And speaking of the USS Valkyrie, congratulations to Lt. Commander John Paskett who has been named as Acting Captain. Lt. Commander Seth Nielsen is now the acting Executive Officer. Captain Charles Corr is moving into a more active roll helping out the Admiralty with his Fleet Captain duties. Thank you to those leaders who have stepped forward to help out.

And finally, 2023 is the 25th Anniversary of the Seventh Fleet. This is an amazing achievement from the members as most clubs don’t make it to their second year. We plan to celebrate all year long by playing 25th Anniversary Bingo. If you’ve seen Enterprise Bingo from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, then you may have an idea of what this will be about. The full details will be released before the official start on January 1st. But the titles of the bingo entries are as follows.

45th Rule of Acquisition
Allamaraine
Best Served Cold
Directive 927
Do you Trust Me?
Ex Astris Scientia
GCEP
Quark 2000
The Scorch

Where did October go? That month went by fast. We hope everyone had a great Halloween dressing up and playing tricks on friends. Now it is time for Thanksgiving and thinking about all of the things we are thankful for.

We are now taking orders for the 2023 Seventh Fleet Calendar. Thanks to our friends at Gordon’s Copy and Print we will be able to keep our prices the same as the were since we started the calendar in 2012, which is $10 an issue. We have to sell a minimum of 50 calendars to get this price. If you would like to order one, please contact your commanding officer.

The USS Kelly is holding an auction and food drive on Saturday, November 5th. This will be at the Fiiz Drinks located at 2350 West 4700 South (just off of I-215) in Taylorsville. There will be homemade baked goods. Star Trek and sci-fi collectibles will be sold as a fundraiser (a great way to get holiday gifts).

Who enjoyed the third season of Star Trek: Lower Decks? If you haven’t seen the last episode of the season, there is an after-credits scene (dun, dun, dunnnnnnnn). The first episode of the second half of Star Trek: Prodigy season one is out and now we know the threat that The Diviner has now unleashed. How will the crew of the USS Protostar get out of this predicament? And a lot of Seventh Fleet members cannot wait to see the third season of Star Trek: Picard in February. Thankfully there are other episodes to watch while we wait . On PlutoTV, the Star Trek channel will be expanding with Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine joining Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Discovery on the free streaming service.

Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped out at our FanX booth. We were able to raise a significant amount for the American Cancer Society. Captain Joe Coleflesh of the USS Pulsar will be delivering it soon. We hope that a thank you letter will be coming soon. AT the booth was a photo op with a detailed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds transporter pad. This included sounds and a transporter effect displayed on the backdrop. The Artemis bridge simulator organized by the USS White Buffalo was also a success.

If you are checking out the organization after visiting with us at FanX, feel free to look around and ask questions. We would love to have us join the fun at one of our many upcoming activities.

The USS Delaware also successfully helped out with the Star Trek Day at the West Valley City Library with Star Trek actress Mary Rice in attendance. There were also representatives from the USS Kelly and the USS Ticonderoga.

Two ships for Star Trek Adventures

Leave a comment

Captain Roger Taylor of the USS Essex has submitted several new articles for the Seventh Fleet blog with items for the role-playing game, Star Trek Adventures. Today’s entry gives two different ships that can be used in the game.

Starship-Profile-Cuirass-ClassDownload

This is a ship for the Romulan Star Navy. It could be used in a Romulan campaign or commandeered by Starfleet or Klingon agents.

Sample-Starship-Ferengi-Smuggler-Latinum-DustDownload

This entry covers a Ferengi smuggling ship and the NPC that would fly it. The SS Latinum Dust is run by Frump.

The Seventh Fleet blog is accepting submissions (please keep it family friendly) by any fleet member. If you have an article, cartoon, puzzle, photos or anything in particular, send it to Webmaster@SeventhFleet.org and perhaps you’ll see your works posted here.

Seventh Fleet Booth at FanX 2022

Leave a comment

It’s time once again for FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention at the Salt Palace in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Yes, Starfleet Command’s Seventh Fleet will have a big presence at the con.

At booth 2278, members of the fleet will be hosting a charity booth to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. There will be a tribute to the late Nichelle Nichols and the debut of a brand new photo op setup. In the past we’ve had full sized shuttles, a Borg alcove, Captain Kirk’s command chair, a life-sized action figure box and a transporter console. What will the new photo op be? Come and find out. Many thanks to the USS Pulsar for heading up the booth this year.

Also the USS White Buffalo will be running their Artemis bridge simulator in one of the gaming rooms (255D) at the convention. They will be running the simulator with the fan-made Star Trek graphics. Gather a group of friends together and take your bridge stations and see if you can survive the challenges that await you.

Starfleet Command’s Seventh Fleet thanks Dan Farr, the staff at FanX and all of the many volunteers who help put this together. Running a con is no small feat. We are very grateful for this opportunity to perform our community service mission at this event.
