If you missed out on the 2025 Fleet Day held in Roy, Utah this year, you missed out. The owner of The Queen’s Realm was very impressed with the events that we had that day. She posted a photo contest on her Facebook page (shared to the Seventh Fleet Facebook page) and if you appeared in one of the photos, stop by the store for a prize. Several store patrons stopped by to check out all of the fun that we were having. Several members also came up to us afterwards and said it was better than they were expecting. To Captain Joe Colflesh, thank you for coordinating all of the volunteers who ran games. There were quite a few trivia based games (if you participated, put that down on your duty report) and several members brought games of their own designs. To the game masters, thank you for volunteering your time to run these for our Star Trek family. The USS Ticonderoga is hosing the 2026 Fleet Day on Saturday, July 18th. It will be a return to the traditional format at a park in Clearfield.

Have you been watching the latest season of Strange New Worlds. Wow, they have pulled out a few different interesting episodes. Some that have had major connections to the continuity of the entire franchise. Some of these have been very interesting. Also the teasers and trailers that came out of the San Diego convention have been interesting to watch as well. If you haven’t seen them, here’s a few of them.

Our charity for FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention will be R.E.A.C.H. (Raising Education Through Arts Characters and Heroes). This 501c3 charity teaches anti-bullying literacy, history and art. Every year FanX gives us the opportunity to perform our community service charter. Instead of a booth on the floor, we will be coordinating our efforts with the Starship Frontier Artemis Bridge Simulator. Feel free to come visit us there.

There are some big changes coming up to our rank advancement system that will go into effect on September 1, 2025. For more information, contact your Commanding Officer. There will be more options and some streamlining of our current system depending upon your level of interest.

We are still trying to fix our online interest form with little success. We are about to move to a different plugin all together. If you’ve submitted a form and have not received any response, please let us know by emailing us at Join@SeventhFleet.org and let us know which chapter you would like to have reach out to you. You can also talk to us on our Facebook page, on our Discord server or by following us on our BlueSky account.
