by his wife, ENS1 Marilyn Teague.
STARFLEET
International terminates print edition of The Communiqué
STARFLEET
International has quietly and without explanation discontinued
the print edition of its formerly bimonthly, now quarterly
and seemingly perpetually behind-schedule newsletter, The
Communiqué. All attempts to locate an
official announcement about this rather major decision on
STARFLEET's part on both the SFI web site as well as in the
newsletter itself have failed. We do not know why
this decision was made. What we do know is that
current STARFLEET members who previously paid for a "Standard"
membership (which included a print edition of the newsletter)
can no longer renew their dues at the higher "Standard"
rate. The ONLY option that new and current members
now have to pay or renew their STARFLEET dues is at the lower
"E-Membership" rate, which includes an "electronic"
edition of the newsletter. Whether that means a
PDF version of the newsletter is emailed directly to members
or if members have to go the STARFLEET web site to download
a copy is unclear at this time. In either event, members
who have enjoyed and looked forward to receiving the print
edition of The Communiqué will no longer have
that one last perk of STARFLEET membership offered to them.

GEORGE
TAKEI: THE UNKNOWN ROLE
George
Takei has had a long and active career as an actor for more
than 60 years in television, feature films, live theater and
radio. He has more than 200 credits listed on his
IMDb page, but here he is in an uncredited role not listed
there. This photo is from the 1962 episode "The
Hour of the Bath" from the TV show Alcoa Premiere. Also
shown are Robert Fuller as Henry Detweiler and Barbara Luna
as Beky. Ms. Luna would work with Takei again five
years later as Lt. Marlena Moreau in the 1967 Star Trek
episode, "Mirror, Mirror." She has also
played prominent characters in two episodes of Star Trek:
New Voyages and Star Trek Continues.

ABOUT
THE REPUBLIC
The
USS Republic NCC-1371 was originally commissioned
as a chapter of STARFLEET International on May 14, 1988,
at the Dixie-Trek convention in Atlanta, Georgia. As
of July 26, 2016, the Republic crew includes 36
members who are active members of STARFLEET in good
standing.
The
Republic plans and coordinates an active schedule
of events for its members, but does not hold meetings
on a consistently fixed date each month.
Because
the USS Republic is a duly commissioned chapter
of STARFLEET International and is bound and governed by
its Constitution and By-Laws, membership in STARFLEET
is a prerequisite for membership in the Republic. STARFLEET
and Republic membership dues are $10 each for one
person ($20 total) and are typically remitted as a single
payment to the Republic. STARFLEET offers
family discounts for additional members as shown below. Additional
information about membership options, amounts due for
additional family members, payment options and instructions
for other forms of payment is on the "How to Join" page
of our award-winning web site.
And
the name of the newest Star Trek television series
is... Star Trek: Discovery, with the show's hero
ship called the USS Discovery (NCC-1031). Executive
Producer Bryan Fuller revealed the details and debuted the
logo today during a standing-room-only "Star Trek
50th Anniversary" panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

of the USS Discovery, the newest Starfleet ship in
the storied franchise's return to television.

"It's
an incredible honor to have shared the stage with these
representatives of all the Star Trek series that
have ever been," Bryan Fuller told StarTrek.com. "And
it's also an honor to have them be the launching pad for
for a new series that has something we all relate to in
Star Trek mythology, which is discovery."
Fuller
smiled when asked how and why the upcoming showand
its hero shipwill be called Discovery. "There
are so many reasons why we settled on Discovery,"
Fuller explained. "But the chief one amongst them
was that I couldn't think of a more Star Trek-themed
name for a ship than Discovery."
Star
Trek: Discovery is coming to CBS All Access in January
2017, following the premiere on the CBS Television Network,
and will be distributed concurrently on Netflix in 188 countries
and through Bell Media in Canada.
