Hailing Frequencies Open September 2024

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.

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.

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.

Welcome Aboard:
Crewman 2nd Class Eric Denslow who is joining the USS Pulsar.

Congratulations To:

Don’t forget that any spoiler discussion of the episodes should take place in the #Spoiler-Zone channel of the Seventh Fleet Discord server.

Hailing Frequencies Open November/December 2023

Leave a comment
Hailing Frequencies Open logo

So our apologies about the lack of an update recently. The primary webmaster who writes up the monthly Hailing Frequencies Open had a medical issue last month. Thankfully he has made a recovery and is now back in action (after following doctor’s orders). To make up for it, we will combine November and December into one post.

It is with a sad heart that we must announce that Aimee Jacobs of the USS Ticonderoga passed away in November due to complications with cancer. There was a very good turnout of fleet members at her viewing and funeral. A donation was made by both the Seventh Fleet and the USS Ticonderoga to her funeral expenses. We would like to extend our condolences to her husband, Brad Jacobs, and the rest of Aimee’s family.

Here is what the cover to the 2024 Seventh Fleet Calendar will look like. If you haven’t gotten your $10 in to buy one, please contact your commanding officer ASAP. We need to have 50 orders to get the best price for a print run. This calendar will contain photos of the various 25th Anniversary Bingo entries.

Speaking of 2024, we have a date for the Admiral’s Banquet. It will be Saturday, February 3rd in Roy, Utah. This is a uniformed or nice dressed event where we come to celebrate the anniversary of the Seventh Fleet. All members and their plus one are invited to attend. All of the January dates were booked, so we had to move to the first Saturday in February. The USS Kelly is hosting and they have quite a few items that they are looking forward to presenting. There will also be another silent auction at the banquet. Also at the banquet we will be recognizing the winners of the 25th Anniversary Bingo. Make sure your commanding officer has your credits down if you made a bingo (completed five items) or blackout (completed all items) so that we can make sure your award is present.

The USS Valkyrie is back under command of Captain Charles Core after Lt. Commander John Paskett has stepped away to take some much needed leave. The chapter is now running as a Constitution Refit class with the registry of NCC-6353. We thank Lt. Commander Paskett for his service.

For some reason, the email we have set up for the Seventh Fleet academy on the @seventhfleet.org domain hasn’t been forwarding to Commodore Marla Trowbridge, the Academy Commandant. To make sure that emails are getting to her, please use SeventhFleetAcademy@gmail.com for all correspondence. If you have sent something recently and did not receive a response, please re-send to the gmail address listed above.

Star Trek: Prodigy will be available on Netflix starting on December 25th. The last season of Star Trek: Discovery will launch sometime in April, 2024. Pre-production has started on the Section 31 movie.

If you are interested in being contacted by one of our chapters for membership, please fill out our Online Interest Form. We will then forward it to the chapter that you requested.

Hailing Frequencies Open October 2023

Many thanks to all of the Seventh Fleet members who volunteered at the FanX booth last month. We were able to accomplish our community service charter and help guide our world towards the spirit we see in the 24th century. We had a special guest at our booth, one of the artists for Heroes4Causes. This is a group that creates comic characters (and comic books) based off of real life heroes. Kids that are afflicted by Type One Diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis or Pediatric Brain Cancer. The cutouts of the Lower Decks characters were provided by the USS Valkyrie, who also coordinated the volunteers. We also had the USS White Buffalo run not just one, but two different Artemis bridge simulators at the convention.

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.

Due to the strikes in Hollywood, there wasn’t a lot of news about our favorite franchise. The 50th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Animated Series was held. This includes the release of the non-cannon, Very Short Treks. Drawn in the animation style of the 70’s cartoon, these episodes are like mini-Saturday Night Live skits. The mileage may vary per episode. One area where the quality has continued to excel is the fourth season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. We’ve already had people ask about getting a hold of a Moopsy plushie. We also know that The Doctor will be making a return in Star Trek: Prodigy, wherever we might be seeing the next season.

And speaking of the Seventh Fleet 25th Anniversary Bingo, WE NEED YOUR PICTURES. We will be using them in the upcoming 2024 Seventh Fleet Calendar. But we can’t pull the pictures off of Facebook because of the method they use to compress the photos. Please email them to Bingo@SeventhFleet.org.

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.

Hailing Frequencies Open November 2022

Where did October go? That month went by fast. We hope everyone had a great Halloween dressing up and playing tricks on friends. Now it is time for Thanksgiving and thinking about all of the things we are thankful for.

We are now taking orders for the 2023 Seventh Fleet Calendar. Thanks to our friends at Gordon’s Copy and Print we will be able to keep our prices the same as the were since we started the calendar in 2012, which is $10 an issue. We have to sell a minimum of 50 calendars to get this price. If you would like to order one, please contact your commanding officer.

The USS Kelly is holding an auction and food drive on Saturday, November 5th. This will be at the Fiiz Drinks located at 2350 West 4700 South (just off of I-215) in Taylorsville. There will be homemade baked goods. Star Trek and sci-fi collectibles will be sold as a fundraiser (a great way to get holiday gifts).

Who enjoyed the third season of Star Trek: Lower Decks? If you haven’t seen the last episode of the season, there is an after-credits scene (dun, dun, dunnnnnnnn). The first episode of the second half of Star Trek: Prodigy season one is out and now we know the threat that The Diviner has now unleashed. How will the crew of the USS Protostar get out of this predicament? And a lot of Seventh Fleet members cannot wait to see the third season of Star Trek: Picard in February. Thankfully there are other episodes to watch while we wait . On PlutoTV, the Star Trek channel will be expanding with Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine joining Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Discovery on the free streaming service.

Hailing Frequencies Open October 2022

Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped out at our FanX booth. We were able to raise a significant amount for the American Cancer Society. Captain Joe Coleflesh of the USS Pulsar will be delivering it soon. We hope that a thank you letter will be coming soon. AT the booth was a photo op with a detailed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds transporter pad. This included sounds and a transporter effect displayed on the backdrop. The Artemis bridge simulator organized by the USS White Buffalo was also a success.

If you are checking out the organization after visiting with us at FanX, feel free to look around and ask questions. We would love to have us join the fun at one of our many upcoming activities.

The USS Delaware also successfully helped out with the Star Trek Day at the West Valley City Library with Star Trek actress Mary Rice in attendance. There were also representatives from the USS Kelly and the USS Ticonderoga.

Welcome USS Protostar on Star Trek: Prodigy

Leave a comment
Star Trek Prodigy premiers on October 28th

The latest Star Trek series is about to take off. Star Trek: Prodigy is airing on Paramount+ on Thursday, October 28th. It is created by CBS Eye Animation Studios for Nickelodeon and Paramount+. It features a crew of lawless teenagers who find the experimental USS Protostar and use it to escape the dire situation they are in. While onboard, they discover that the Protostar is equipped with a Holographic Training Program based off of Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager.

Star Trek: Prodigy is the first Star Trek series to be animated by computer rendered imaging and and 3D modeling. The Short Treks episode “The Girl Who Made The Stars” was also produced this way.

Here are the characters we will meet on Star Trek: Prodigy.

Dal voiced by Brett Gray
Gwyn voiced by Ella Purnell
Murf voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and Rok-Tahk voiced by Rylee Alazraqui
Zero voiced by Angus Imrie
Jankom Pog voiced by Jason Mantzoukas
Janeway Hologram voiced by Kate Mulgrew

Robert Beltran has confirmed that he will be voicing Chakotay in this series. We don’t know if this is a cameo or a regular appearance. Jason Alexander will be returning to Star Trek with a new role for Prodigy (again we don’t know how many appearances). John Nobel (from Lord of the Rings and Fringe) will be voicing a character known as The Diviner. There is also the return of a character from The Next Generation. But we don’t want to say who it is because (River Song voice) “Spoilers.”

Check out the pilot episode “Lost & Found” on Paramount+ on October 28th.
