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

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.

Conventions

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.

Hailing Frequencies Open September 2022

September is finally here and it is a busy one. There will be a Star Trek Day on September 8th (with some fans going to the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn in theaters), a special Star Trek Day at the West Valley City Library on Saturday the 10th and FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention on the 22nd to 24th of the month. Not only will we be at booth 2278 (right on the main corridor just before the celebrity autograph section) but the USS White Buffalo will be running the Artemis simulator in one of the gaming rooms at the convention. The USS Pulsar is taking the lead on the booth with the American Cancer Society being the selected charity for this year. If you would like to volunteer for either of these sections, please contact your department chief.

As mentioned above, the West Valley City Library will be hosting a Star Trek Day on Saturday, September 10th. This will run from Noon until closing and local Star Trek actress, Mary Rice, will be a guest. Because of this, we are counting this event as a Star Trek convention for rank and award purposes. The USS Delaware is taking the lead for this event but it is open for any Star Trek fan to attend.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season three is out and if you haven’t seen any episodes yet, you will love catching up. Don’t forget to watch the after show with Wil Wheaton and any of the Easter Egg videos found on YouTube. They have added to the show.
