“The human race is a remarkable creature, one with great potential, and I hope that 'Star Trek' has helped to show us what we can be if we believe in ourselves and our abilities.”

― Gene Roddenberry

Boldly venturing through the frontiers of fandom, costuming and charity.

“A starship. A fleet of starships. A crew. A fleet of crews. When it comes down to having fun at what I enjoy, my job is to make sure the fun stays fun; I'm the Chief Engineer of a fun starship. In fact, “fun” is the ultimate goal of all the ships within “THE FLEET.” But that's only part of the overall experience. I've explored strange places, assisted other beings in need, and made a real difference in the galaxy - all while wearing a snazzy uniform. You do those things in THE FLEET, and more, even command your own starship if you aim to. This manual is not a technical journal, but a valuable resource to help guide you throughout your career within THE FLEET. Because when you are part of a crew, no matter what your position may be, you can make a difference. And look good while doing it.
