Clubs within the Club
In addition to having access to any of our hundreds of local chapters, each club member is invited to participate in a variety of special organizations within the larger STARFLEET entity. Participation is purely voluntary, and no member of STARFLEET is required to do anything beyond simply paying their annual membership dues. However, for those members wishing to get involved beyond simply receiving their membership packet and a quarterly newsletter, STARFLEET offers the following fun and engaging resources.
STARFLEET Educational Services
A set of nearly 1,000 correspondence courses available for free to any member. These courses cover a wide range of topics–from aspects of Star Trek to the functioning of STARFLEET to general science fiction and even to non-sci-fi activities such as learning to trace your own family tree. Visit the STARFLEET Educational Services website to learn more.
STARFLEET Marine Corps
For members looking to get more involved in the paramilitary aspects of Star Trek, the SFMC offers groups that operate as part of many chapters. The Marines have their own uniform styles, their own online newsletter and resources, their own rank structure, and they host many of their own activities. They operate within STARFLEET and as a part of the overall club, but they also offer members a different type of fan experience. Visit the STARFLEET Marine Corps website for more information.
STARFLEET Department of Technical Services
For members who love the technology of Star Trek, the DTS brings them together to share their enthusiasm and creativity. Do you have questions about starships? Planets and stars? Alien civilizations? The history of Star Trek’s future? Do you like to design new starship classes and draw schematics? Chances are, you’ll want to check out the DTS after you join.
