Beware the Space Monkeys

Captain Roger Taylor of the USS Essex submitted this article (plus a few cartoons) for a blog post. The primary portion of the article is a creature/obstacle for the Star Trek Adventures role playing game by Modiphius.

And just to add to the silliness, here is two cartoons about Space Monkeys.

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.

Hmm… I wonder where all the bananas went?

2022 Seventh Fleet Calendar

The cover image for the 2022 Seventh Fleet Calendar

2022 marks the 10th year we have been producing a Seventh Fleet calendar for members and friends of our fan club. In honor of this, Captain Ross Trowbridge has put together a special cover displaying all of the past calendar covers. We think he knocked it out of the park with the TOS bridge setting. Crewman Jeremy James of the USS Ticonderoga is once again doing the internal editing of the publication.

This publication is filled with photos and artwork put together by several Seventh Fleet members. This includes group events, computer artwork and a visit to the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga, New York. A lot of creativity will be on display in this calendar. There will also be dates listed for Fleet activities, monthly chapter meetings, local conventions, Star Trek premier anniversaries and various holidays from local, federal and Star Trek sources.

Thanks to our friends at Gordon’s Copy and Print, we will be able to offer the 2022 Seventh Fleet Calendar at the same price of $10 an issue. We are happy to be working with a local company to put this calendar together.

Orders are now being taken for the calendars. The due date for your order is Saturday, December 18th. Please have your money turned into your Commanding Officer by that date. If you have any questions, please contact your Commanding Officer.

Thank you again to all of the volunteers who helped put this together.

Hailing Frequencies Open November 2021

For the tenth year in a row we will be releasing the Seventh Fleet Calendar. Images from this calendar were taken or created by members of the Fleet. We will be able to keep the price at $10 a calendar with the money due to your Commanding Officer by December 18th. This will have various dates for club events, local conventions and various holidays. A big thank you to Crewman Jeremy James for his wonderful assembly work and Captain Ross Trowbridge for designing the cover.

The end of the second season of Star Trek: Lower Decks was a bit of a shocker. The pilot episode for the new series, Star Trek: Prodigy was really beautiful. It is a computer generated animated series which looks really interesting. Why is the USS Protostar lost so far from Federation space?

November is the time of Thanksgiving. We would like to let everyone know how grateful we are for their friendship. Your creativity has inspired us. Your participation has made our efforts worth it. Being you has added to our Star Trek family. Thank you for being a member of Starfleet Command’s Seventh Fleet.
