As this post is scheduled to go online, SaltCON-Spring will be happening at the Davis Conference Center in Layton. If you want to check out some gaming (and read this in time) feel free to check out the convention.

Speaking of gaming, we are looking for people to run various sit-down games for the upcoming Fleet Day in July (date TBA). We want to run all sorts of Star Trek roleplaying games, board games, card games, tactical games and anything else that sounds like fun. If you would like to assist, please contact your Commanding Officer.

Spring is just around the corner and a lot of us can’t wait for the warmer weather. Don’t forget that safety should be at the forefront when you start with your outdoor activities. One of the events that the State of Utah holds every April is the Great Utah Shakeout coming up on April 17th. This is a state-wide earthquake drill that starts at 10:15 am. Information on how to prepare for this drill and how you can protect yourself from earthquakes can be found at the link just posted above.

No news yet on when we will be getting season three of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The moment we have anything we will post it here. If you are needing a Star Trek itch scratched, check out the latest issues of the Star Trek comics by IDW Publishing. They have several ongoing series including a new Star Trek: Lower Decks ongoing line.

If you are looking for more information about us feel free to look around this website. Please visit our Online Interest Form 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.

Thank you to everyone who attended or helped out at the 2025 Admiral’s Banquet. It is truly a testament to the coordination and leadership skills used to put this event together so that when an unexpected item happens (say the two coordinators and their mother coming down sick) the event pulls off without a hitch. If you were unable to attend, you were missed. We had a lot of fun talking about the past year, honoring those who had passed on and looking forward to our future. The Fleet Day will be coming up this summer and we hope to see you all there for the various games that will be played.

Also the Seventh Fleet calendar was passed out to all Commanding Officers at the banquet. If you ordered a calendar, contact your CO to pick it up. We are now collecting photos for the 2026 calendar. They can be sent to Photos@SeventhFleet.org.

Have you had a chance to watch Star Trek: Section 31 yet? Remember that spoilers can be discussed in our Spoilers-Channel on the Seventh Fleet Discord server. Now if we could just get a date for the season three premier of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, that would be great.

SaltCON is a large gaming convention that is held at the Davis Convention Center every spring and the USS White Buffalo runs the Artemis Bridge Simulator there. This re-creates a Star Trek bridge with various battle simulations that a Captain and Crew can try out. This includes the infamous Kobayashi Maru scenario. Dare you take this challenge?

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.

Wow, we were young.

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. We are discovering more on a daily basis. You can follow the us by clicking here: @SeventhFleet.bsky.social.

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.

The first three episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks have been released on Paramount+ and they are hilarious. We have now seen what the Gallemites mentioned from Deep Space Nine look like. New episodes are released every Thursday. We don’t know what future plans are in store for Lower Decks after season five. While it’s been announced that this is the last season, there are always possibilities. A Lower Decks TV movie? Picked up by another streaming service like Star Trek Prodigy was? The best way to tell the powers that be that we want more is to watch these new episodes.

Another FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention has come and gone. The Seventh Fleet was very well represented by our main booth with the full sized shuttle, the Artemis Simulator running two bridges and attendees in general. We had a lot of volunteers who helped at both locations and with the convention itself. Not only did we help the convention, but we were able to fulfill one of our primary missions of community service. Funds were raised for the Cache Community Food Pantry (and you can still donate by clicking on the link, please let them know that the Seventh Fleet sent you). Many thanks to the USS Rendezvous for coordinating the booth and the USS White Buffalo for coordinating the Artemis Simulator. And we couldn’t do this with out the help of Dan Farr and the staff and volunteers at FanX. Thank you.

The Seventh Fleet and Star Trek were also presented on the news at FanX. ABC4 had a presentation about the Star Trek: The Next Generation Panel. ABC4 also interviewed members of the Seventh Fleet at the Artemis Simulator. If you took pictures at the convention, please send them into Photos@SeventhFleet.org.

If you stopped by either location and checked us out, welcome. We hope you had fun at the convention. Please visit our Online Interest Form and let us know which chapter you would like to have reach out to you. Even if you wrote down your information at the booth, this helps us get your details to the chapter as quickly as possible. You can also look around this website and ask us questions. We would love to have us join the fun at one of our many upcoming activities.

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.

We are looking forward to the fifth season of Star Trek: Lower Decks that will be airing on Paramount+ on Thursday, October 24th. The first two episodes will premier on that date with new episodes continuing every Thursday until December 19th. Some of us are still crossing our fingers that there will be more Star Trek: Lower Decks in some format in the future. There will be new Lower Decks comics being released by IDW Publishing, but we’d love a series of Lower Deck made-for-TV movies (hint, hint). Hopefully if we all watch Lower Decks, the powers that be may consider it.

Some sad news greeted us on August 5th when it was announced that actress Patti Yasutake passed away due to cancer. She was 70 years old and Star Trek fans knew her best as the character Nurse Alyssa Ogawa. Admiral Stark remembered meeting her at one of the Starfest conventions in Denver where she had the biggest smile.

In some good news, production in Toronto has officially started for the next Star Trek TV series, Star Trek Academy. Actors so far announced for this new series includes Holly Hunter, Paul Giamatti, Kerrice Brooks, Bella Shepard, George Hawkins, Karim Diane, Zoe Steiner and Sandro Rosta. Mary Wiseman, Oded Fehr and Tig Notaro would be returning as their respective characters from Star Trek Discovery. One of the biggest surprises is that the holographic doctor, played by Robert Picardo, will also be making an appearance. We don’t have a release date yet, but we are hopeful for something in mid-to-late 2025 on Paramount+.

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.

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.

Hailing Frequencies Open July 2024

We start this post with a sad announcement. The Seventh Fleet would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Captain Ross Trowbridge for the recent passing of his mother. We Do Not Stand Alone and may her memory always be a blessing.

Starting July 1st the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy drops on Netflix. It is twenty 20-minute long episodes. If you can, it is highly advisable to watch them sooner rather than later for two reasons. One, you get to avoid the spoilers that will be coming out very soon. Two, Netflix takes early results into consideration on renewing their shows. A strong showing will, hopefully, get us a season three.

The USS White Buffalo and USS Strymon have been working very hard on the 2024 Fleet Day. This will be held on Saturday, July 27th at Taylorsville Park and will run from 10am-6pm. This is an open event where a lot of the Star Trek family will be in attendance. Bring the kids and bring any interested parties that want to check out the local chapters. We will be having lots of fun, lunch and the annual Admiral’s Challenge after the games. We are looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Summertime is here and that means conventions, outdoor activities and lots of driving. We would like to encourage everyone to remain safe during these hot months. If you are behind the wheel, basking in the sun or gathering with friends always be aware of unsafe practices.

Speaking of getting together, the annual Fleet Day is coming up on Saturday, July 27th. This will be held at Taylorsville Park in Taylorsville Utah. The games, that are open to everyone, will run from 10am to 5pm. This year the USS White Buffalo is coordinating the games. We are looking forward to seeing our Star Trek family there.

What did you all think of the final season of Star Trek: Discovery? We are talking about it on the Seventh Fleet Discord. While there are no new episodes coming out in June, the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy starts on Netflix in July. All episodes should drop on the same day so happy binging.

Congratulations To:
Emily Bolander (USS Pulsar) for being promoted to the rank of Ensign.
