By reading these two mission statements alone, one can surmise that the UFP is more analogous here are arguments in fandom as to whether to the UN than any other real-world government T The United Federation of Planets (abbreviated organization. However, while they sound similar, as UFP and commonly referred to as the they are not identical. So let’s see how this Federation) is modeled after the real-world UN or statement would read if combined with that of NATO, or something completely different. NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). In the real world, the United Nations (abbreviated as the UN) is “an international union of nations that agree to exist autonomously and promote the principles of liberty, human rights, justice, sovereignty, and equality, and to share their culture in peaceful coexistence.” “The Parties (of NATO) undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that peace and security are not endangered, and to refrain in their relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the [principals] of the United Nations.” Now we’re getting somewhere. I’ve always believed the UFP was akin to the UN, but with its own In the fictional world of Star Trek, The Federation military force. Now the UN does have a military, but is “an interstellar union of planetary governments this military is made up of neutral nations that do that agree to exist semi-autonomously under a not have a vested interest in the outcome of certain single central government based on the principles conflicts or resolutions of wars between member and of universal liberty, rights, and equality, and to non-member states. The UN military is very limited share their knowledge and resources in peaceful in so far as to be able to perform peacekeeping cooperation, scientific development, space missions and nothing else. The UN does not have exploration, and mutual defense.” any means of power projection across the world. If 4 | SubSpace chatter the UN needs to “knock some heads,” they usually call the United States for we have demonstrated considerable skill in “knocking heads.” When Gene Roddenberry pitched the idea of Star Trek to the executives of CBS television in 1965, what was happening in the world? The Cold War, Vietnam, the Civil Rights Movement, etc. When NATO was created, the 800-pound gorilla Most if not all the writers and producers of the in the room was the United States. When the UFP program served in the Second World War, and was formed, Starfleet was the principal military witnessed the growing tensions between the US arm of the fledgling Federation, but only so strong and the USSR. And while Roddenberry envisioned because of the combined might of the Earth, a future where “the barriers that divide society Andorian, Tellarite, and Vulcan space fleets. melted away in favor of a truly united peoples that look to the future with hope, not fear,” he did so acknowledging that there was a real threat of intractable foes in the universe. Those foes would be given the names of the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire, which have been viewed by fandom as analogous to the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China. Over time, Starfleet would evolve to become the (almost) perfect reflection of the United Federation of Planets: an amalgamation of various races across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, serving in a fleet that does not consider it to be purely military but quasi military in nature whose principal mission is the “peaceful exploration of space and mutual defense.” Only in war, when all avenues of diplomacy and peaceful efforts have been exhausted, does the UFP, only after the deepest of thought and consideration, and with great reluctance, unleash Starfleet. In my humble opinion, The UFP is a futuristic _____________________________________________________ blend of NATO and the UN, and yet remains a unique creation unto itself. The military arm of the About the Author: G. D. Hurn is a U.S. Coast UFP is obviously Starfleet. But Starfleet is much Guard veteran with a M.S. in Military History - Cold more than a deterrent force. Starfleet embodies War, and a United Federation of Phoenix member the very words of the UFP charter: “…in peaceful since 1981. He contributes to Subspace Chatter cooperation, scientific development, space with his insightful articles that juxtapose science exploration, and mutual defense.” fiction with real-world military history and strategy. SubSpace chatter | 5 estroying spaceships was one of the more Dinteresting challenges on the Star Trek TV shows. The default approach was to superimpose some gasoline fireballs over the spaceship miniature and then dissolve the model out and call it a day. Early on after I arrived at Star Trek I did experiment with what were supposed to be thermonuclear explosions with bright flashes and shock waves. It was effective in the scenes but a bit unsatisfying. CREATING When the story allowed I would try to make the shot a bit more fun with what I called “visual A DRAMATIC shorthand.” I was looking for what quickly communicated visually that a starship was in trouble. As I originally pondered this I wondered what was a real-world visual correlate to spaceships being destroyed. To me, the best comparison was a huge military ship in combat. I most often thought of the Bismarck sinking in 1941. After a massive battle, the Bismarck rolled STARSHIP over onto its side and sank. This is an example of how an artist’s life experiences can affect their work. My awareness of the Bismarck capsizing is a direct result of building a model for a middle school history class. I proudly showed my model of the Bismarck to my instructor. Being a typical young teenager I had not SMACK done my research and had constructed the model sinking by the bow like the Titanic. My instructor complimented my model and then informed me that the Bismarck actually sank by rolling over or capsizing. My embarrassment etched the experience into my memory for me to draw upon many years later for Star Trek.

Set against original musical collaborations by Anthony Fedorov and other artists, this inspirational new musical explores true stories of social justice, gender identity, race, immigration, and economic inequalities within the fabric of the American experience. #Hash(tag) America began as a concept album entitled Calling On You (co-produced by Anthony Fedorov and Grammy Award-winner Jeeve Ducornet) from a successfully funded 2016 Kickstarter campaign. Los Angeles will be treated to a concert version of the show first performed to a rousing audience and critical response at New York’s The Green Room 42. — MORE— AT CATALINA JAZZ CLUB IN HOLLYWOOD [Page 2] Joining Fedorov (American Idol, Rent), Isa Briones (Star Trek: Picard, Hamilton), and Eden Espinosa (Falsettos, Wicked, Rent) will be Kyle Carter (The Lion King, In the Heights), Christina Sajous (SpongeBob SquarePants, Spiderman, American Idiot), and Heath Saunders (Alice By Heart, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on FOX).

    AirSpace Season 3, Episode 12: Never Surrender Emily: We spent the first like 10 minutes of Galaxy Quest watching the movie being like, "Oh my God, that's the guy from the... That's that guy." Nick: Which one? Emily: The guy who plays Guy. Nick: Oh yeah, yeah. Guy, the guy named Guy. Matt: Sam Rockwell. Nick: Sam Rockwell. Matt: Yeah. Sam Rockwell has been in a ton of stuff. Emily: Sure. Apparently he's in a ton of stuff. Nick: Oh. And they actually based Guy's character on a real person who worked on Star Trek and played multiple roles and never had a name. And that actor's name is Guy. Emily: Stop. Is he really? Nick: 100 percent. Intro music in and under Nick: Page 1 of 8 Welcome to the final episode of AirSpace, season three from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. I'm Nick. Matt: I'm Matt. Emily: And I'm Emily. Matt: We started our episodes in 2020 with a series of movie minis and we're ending it kind of the same way, diving into one of the weirdest, funniest and most endearing fan films of all time, Galaxy Quest. Nick: The movie came out on December 25th, 1999, and was one of the first widely popular movies that spotlighted science fiction fans as heroes, unlike the documentary Trekkies, which had come out a few years earlier and had sort of derided Star Trek fans as weird and abnormal. Galaxy Quest is much more of a love note to that same fan base.
