The COMMUNIQUE contains current information on STARFLEET operations and chapter activities, list of upcoming conventions, news and information on STAR TREK media and articles on the space program and other areas of interest to members. The STARFLEET ACADEMY, mentioned above, is just that: our own academy based upon the various subjects in Star Trek. It is avail- able to you as a member, and all courses are conducted via the mail. Participation in these courses is fun and can increase your knowledge in today’s level of science and medicine, not to mention that some of them are quite challenging. Are you up to the challenge?
