Well we have a premier date for season three of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds… kinda. There will be a special premier on June 14 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. While an official announcement for when the series will premier on Paramount+, it is logical to assume that it will be quickly after that. New episodes are usually released on Thursday, which could indicate June 19th. For those of you who haven’t seen the teaser trailer for season three, here it is.

And speaking of video clips… we just don’t know what to think of this one.

It’s time to start planning for the upcoming games at the 2025 Fleet Day. This will be held on Saturday, July 19th from 11:00am to 7:00pm. The location is The Queen’s Realm (5451 S. 1900 W., Roy, UT). We will be having a massive indoor gaming event this year with roleplaying games, board games, tactical games, card games and more. Yes, we will have the popular Liars Dice tournament. This will primarily be Star Trek games, but other science-fiction games will be present as well (such as a Stargate RPG). Instead of being catered this year, you can bring your own lunch from one of the many restaurants that are nearby. The Admiral’s Challenge will be the last event of the day. This Fleet event is open to all members and interested visitors.

If you are looking for more information about us feel free to look around this website. Please visit our Online Interest Form (which is undergoing changes so you can also email 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.

Welcome Aboard:
Crewman 2nd Class Zack Baker-Louvar who is joining the USS Pulsar.

It is with a sad heart that we announce that Star Trek Actor and friend of the Seventh Fleet, Craig Richard Nelson, passed away on March 3, 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was 77 years old. He had made two Star Trek appearances on The Next Generation and Voyager. He lived in Utah and was a guest at the 2004 Seventh Fleet Admiral’s Banquet and at various local science-fiction conventions. He was very gracious to the local Star Trek fans and will be missed greatly. His online obituary can be found here.

And 2025 is now here. First things first, from your planet, welcome. Our big event for this month is our annual celebration of the founding of the Seventh Fleet called the Admiral’s Banquet. This is where the Admiralty gets to celebrate the many members of our Star Trek family. The USS Rendezvous is coordinating this year’s event. This year the banquet will be held in Richmond at the same location that we had some of our past banquets. This will be held on Saturday, January 25th starting at 11am. The cost for the banquet food will be $5.00, cash at the door. The food will be Dutch Oven Chicken or Pork, potatoes, salad, rolls and desert. There will be a Quark’s Bar run by the USS Valkyrie. There will be ship videos and a silent auction. Volunteers are needed for setup and take down. Please contact your Commanding Officer if you would like to help. This is a uniformed/nice-dressed event for members and their plus ones.

We were just informed of the passing of a Seventh Fleet member that happened earlier in 2024. In May, Dineh Torres had passed away while in care of her family. She had been a member of the USS Kelly back in 1994 and had attended several meetings and out-of-town conventions while with the club. In the photo below she is highlighted while we were at the Christa McAuliffe Space Center (a simulator that used Star Trek to educate kids). Many thanks to Erin Ruston for tracking down this information. The Seventh Fleet would like to extend our condolences to Dineh’s family. May her memory always be a blessing.

So what did you all think of the season finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks? Admiral Stark informed us that he was getting a LOT of roleplaying game ideas that could be run using Star Trek Adventures from that last episode. Remember to keep the pressure on Paramount to get a return for the show with a special, mini-series or TV movie. And speaking of TV movies, Star Trek: Section 31 will premier on Paramount+ on Friday, January 24th. It will be good to see Michelle Yeoh back in the Star Trek universe.

We have a new social media account to use for communication purposes. With the rapid growth of BlueSky, we felt it was necessary to grab our username that we’ve used on other social media sites. The service has been adding a million members a day. A lot of Star Trek actors and professionals have made the jump as well including William Shatner, Kate Mulgrew, George Takei, Anson Mount, LeVar Burton, Wil Wheaton, Jeri Ryan, Robert Picardo, Michelle Hurd, Wilson Cruz, Todd Stashwick, Chase Masterson, Eugene Roddenberry, Alex Kurtzman, Terry Matalas, Mike McMahan, Mike Okuda, Larry Nemecek and many more.

2024 is quickly coming to an end and what a wild ride it has been. We are certain that many members of our Star Trek family will be busy with the holidays. So remember to be safe out there when it comes to cooking and travel. The weather in the inter-mountain west can get nasty real quick.

There are only a few episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks left. Please watch them so that Paramount knows that we want more. While this might be the last season, there is talk of future Lower Decks specials or movies.

This is what the cover to the 2025 Seventh Fleet Calendar looks like. We still need photos and images for the monthly entries, please send them into Photos@SeventhFleet.org. Working with Gordons Copy and Print we’ve been able to keep the cost at $10 a calendar. The due date for the money to be into your Commanding Officer will be December 20th.

Well, if that wasn’t the most interesting Fleet Day that we’ve had in a long time. It’s not often that you can say three police vehicles showed up to one of our Star Trek events with 100 people in attendance. If you missed out, feel free to ask one of the attendees what happened. You were also missed. Many thanks to the crews of the USS White Buffalo and USS Strymon for all of their hard efforts. Despite the setbacks at the beginning of the event (that also wasn’t their fault) and the weird weather we had that day, we all had a ton of fun. Also a congratulations goes out to the USS Delaware who won the Admiral’s Challenge and gets to hold the Bragging Rights trophy for the year. We hope to see you next year at our annual fun event.

Everyone is talking about the second season of Star Trek Prodigy that was released last month on Netflix. If you haven’t seen it yet, it has been some of the best Star Trek stories seen in a while.

If you like watching Star Trek for free on PlutoTV, they will be adding a Star Trek Movies channel for the month of August. This is in addition to the three other Star Trek channels they are currently running.

FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention is quickly coming up in September. They have quite a few Star Trek guests announced. The Seventh Fleet will have a booth on the main vendor’s floor being conducted by the USS Rendezvous. Here we will be displaying the updated Shuttlepod Fairbanks. This will also be the 10th anniversary of the Fairbanks unveiling. The USS White Buffalo will also be running three bridges for the Artemis simulator. Volunteers are needed for both locations. If you would like to volunteer, please contact your Commanding Officer.

Feel free to join us on the Seventh Fleet Discord Server.

Congratulations To:
Josh Sorenson (USS Pulsar) for reaching the rank of Lieutenant.

The Seventh Fleet was saddened to hear of the passing of John G. Trimble. He, with his wife Bjo, ran the letter writing campaign that saved Star Trek back in the 1960’s. He was also very involved with fandom and events such as SCA and conventions. We remember his frequent visits to Utah for both conventions and backyard BBQs. May his memory always be a blessing.

The crew of the USS Discovery is continuing their quest to assemble all of the puzzle pieces before the bad guys get to them. Will they make it? What will the final prize be? What have you thought of season five so far? We are talking about it on our #Spoiler-Zone on the Seventh Fleet Discord Server.

We have a date for our upcoming Fleet Day. The games will be held on Saturday, July 27th at a park in Taylorsville. This is a fun event that everyone can bring their families and friends to attend. Thank you to the USS White Buffalo for putting this Fleet event together.

The Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition Quickstart rules are now available for download for free in PDF. They can be found at this link on DriveThruRPG. The updates look like they will help streamline the system. They already explain the rules quite a bit as compared to the 1st edition quickstart.

Don’t forget to join us on the Seventh Fleet Discord server. Gif-Wars has been very popular as well as sharing memes. The #Spoiler-Zone is where we can openly talk about the latest episodes (not just of Star Trek) without having to worry about spoiling it for someone who hasn’t seen the episodes yet. We also need photos of your pets for the #Porthos-Pals channel. This becoming the new online hangout.

The fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery is almost upon us. It has been quite a ride. It will be interesting to see where this final adventure takes us. A lot of us have been enjoying Star Trek: Strange New Worlds that was presented to us after the second season of Discovery. We will be watching on Paramount+ on April 4th. Don’t forget that any spoiler discussion of the episodes should take place in the #Spoiler-Zone channel of the Seventh Fleet Discord server.

The filming has completed on the Section 31 movie for Paramount+. There has already been some photos and a special announcement made about one of the characters that had her origins on The Next Generation.

It is with a sad heart that we have to report that Commander (Retired) Dalice Nilson passed away on Monday, January 15, 2024. She was the first executive officer of the USS Rendezvous and was a huge force in the development and launching of the Rendezvous in the early 90’s. She always had a smile on her face and she was always happy to see you. She will be missed. The Seventh Fleet would like to extend our condolences to her family.

The 2024 Admiral’s Banquet is this Saturday, February 4th at the Weber County Library Southwest Branch in Roy. We will be starting at 2:00pm.

Fleet News, Hailing Frequencies Open

Hailing Frequencies Open January 2024

January 1, 2024 admin

Welcome to the year of 2024. There are quite a few things that are coming up for us. First is our annual Seventh Fleet Admiral’s Banquet. While it is called the Admiral’s Banquet, it is really for the Admirals to celebrate the variety of crewmembers. We really are part of a Star Trek family. Normally this is held on the last Saturday of January, however the building that the USS Kelly arranged for us to use was booked up at that time, so we are moving it back one week to Saturday, February 3rd. This is a Uniform or Nice-Dress event for members and their plus ones. This will be held at the Weber County Southwest Library in Roy, Utah and will run from 2-5pm.

At the Admiral’s Banquet, we will be recognizing the members who participated in the 25th Anniversary Bingo. Those that made Bingo and Blackout will receive a special award. This event was a blast to participate in. Most of the photos from this Bingo event were used in the 2024 Seventh Fleet Calendar. If you have ordered a calendar, they will be passed out to the Commanding Officers at the banquet.
