The STARFLEET Communiqué

Published continuously since the early 1980s, the Communiqué brings news from the world of Star Trek to the members of STARFLEET.  The quarterly publication also updates members on the latest announcements from the organization, features articles about what fellow STARFLEET members and their chapters are doing, and presents photos, artwork, editorials, book reviews, interviews, and a variety of other fun and interesting content. STARFLEET offers a downloadable online version of the Communiqué to all of our members at no additional cost.
The most current online version and an archive of past issues are available as PDF files downloadable from a special password-protected area of this website accessible only to active STARFLEET members.

Clubs within the Club

In addition to having access to any of our hundreds of local chapters, each STARFLEET 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 Academy

A set of nearly 1,000 correspondence courses which are available for free to any member.  These courses cover a wide range of topics: from aspects of Star Trek itself, to the functioning of STARFLEET as an organization, to general science fiction, and even non-sci-fi activities such as learning to trace your own family tree. Learn more about STARFLEET Academy.

STARFLEET Marine Corps

For members looking to get more involved in the paramilitary aspects of Star Trek, the SFMC offers groups (known as Marine Strike 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 offer members a different type of fan experience. Learn more about the STARFLEET Marine Corps.

STARFLEET Offices

For members who wish to help the STARFLEET organization grow and thrive, there are a number of offices they may volunteer to help with. Information services, member services, newsletter publication, finances, the various manuals and other publications inside STARFLEET – all of it needs helpful volunteers to keep STARFLEET running!

And Much, Much More

The STARFLEET experience is always growing and changing, with new programs and activities to keep members engaged, challenged, and satisfied being added all the time. As a non-profit corporation, STARFLEET strives to keep our annual membership dues as low as possible while still delivering quality membership materials and a positive membership experience for all.
