United Federation Starfleet Inc.

United Federation Starfleet, or UFS for short, started as a dream....a dream to realize and bring Gene Roddenberry’s vision to life within the realms of a metaverse community. As Mr Roddenberry said, “If man is to survive, he will have learned to tale a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.”

We envisioned an opportunity where people could live out Roddenberry’s vision by becoming a Federation Citizen, Starfleet Crewman, or a Commissioned Officer within one of the most respected, most organized, and most active Star Trek organisations available. Our dream to accomplish this began in 2006. Since then, UFS has become one of the premiere Star Trek groups within Second Life. It was this success that led us to form UFS Incorporated, a real life not-for-profit organization based in New York. As we continued to grow and expand, the group expanded into other online grids. Now UFS has taken the next logical step by adding Chapters based in locations all over the world.

To help members adjust to and grow into their UFS lives, we offer a highly organized and much renowned Academy, which offers a vast selection of courses. These courses will help you learn a variety of information and skills that will get you started as a contributing member within United Federation Starfleet.

The time is ripe to get involved.

UFS offers a wide variety of postings to choose from. You can:

• Serve at the Fleet level and help with the growth and development of UFS through your chosen Branch.
• Serve at the Sector level and help to develop this important part of our family
• Take a posting on a station, facility, or outpost and partake in the day-to-day responsibilities of an officer assignment.
• Be assigned to one of our ships of the line, where you can explore the vast reaches of the galaxy, discover new life and new civilizations, and defend your home from those that would not choose freedom as a way of life.
• Command your own station, facility, or ship by starting your own Chapter in UFS.

In addition to these postings, UFS is also involved in multiple charitable foundations as well as planning social events for members. To begin participating, you can:

• Join volunteer groups like Support Services or the UFS News Network
• Explore your DJ talents on Radio Starfleet
• Assist UFS management with creating, coordinating, and running fun charitable events.
• Attend promotion ceremonies and other official functions
• Participate in regular social events
• Contribute to or be a part of special events

The opportunities are endless!

Whether you choose to be a member in one of our online communities or one of our many physical Chapters around the world, teh sky is no longer the limit – now you can explore the entire Universe!
