Monthly Update – June 2023

Happy June, and Happy Pride Month to all of our LGBTQ+ members! Next month, at least in the US, is Father’s Day. So let’s wish all of the dads in Pegasus Fleet a fantastic day!

In May we welcomed two new sims. First off we were joined by the new Phoenix-class USS Vela under the command of Commander Logan Hanks, . With so much going on in the universe, it is the small missions that get forgotten. From politics, to warfare, exploration and expansion of territories, the basic work in one’s own space is overshadowed by the “greater” accomplishments on “the edge of discovery.” The USS Vela is tasked with this work. Her tasks and responsibilities outshine her small stature. From quick courier work, supply runs, emergency responses, and anything in between, her tasks keep the crew busy. Please welcome the USS Vela!

Also joining us in May is the ISS Vengeance, under the command of Captain Allison DeBries, . The year was 2388. The year the Empire watched in horror, as Earth shattered. Its crust splintered. Its people… dead. . Seven years on, having pulled back to secure the Core worlds, the Empire is ready to force its way back to the fringes. Force the border-worlds to remember who they serve. Force the Galaxy to remember the Sword of Terra. The ISS Vengeance sits at the point of that Sword. Charged with leading the way back to the outer regions of the Empire, Captain Allison DeBries and her crew face a game oi wit, manipulation, and lies as they find an adversary more dangerous than any Klingon. . Please give a warm welcome to the ISS Vengeance!

Last month I had mentioned that the 2023 SciWorld conference was coming. Originally it was supposed to be held yesterday, but it was announced that the event was getting postponed until Saturday, June 24. There are still panel slots available, so if anyone is interested in leading a panel, please reach out to one of the co-chairs or post interest in #panel-signups in the SciWorld Discord. . For more information you should check out the SciWorld/FallFest Discord server, which you can do here: https://discord.gg/8FDgKVDmYw

As always, Live Long and Prosper!
