Starting off our 50th anniversary month with a bang, we’re thrilled to announce another new unit forming in our collective that not only brings something new to Q2, but revives a long quiet region within the Quadrant.
Captained by Magali Kauffman, we’re pleased and round to announce that as of today the USS Proxima undertakes it’s shakedown cruise as the latest addition to Quadrant 2’s Fleet.
The first unit in over two decades to be based in the region, Proxima is based in the scenic north-eastern French city of Metz. Close to the borders of Germany, Luxemburg and Belgium, Proxima’s reach has the potential to go far, especially with its captain and founding crew visiting events in the wider area.
Having one of the quickest approval turnaround, Proxima’s captain, Magali Kauffman, impressed with their proposal to stand as a positive and diplomatic influence for the fan community. After a positive first impression, Proxima gained quick approval to become the latest addition to Quadrant
The launch of Proxima is a huge first step into our program heading into 2025 and with it’s quick formation, a chance to move beyond the UK shores as a compliment to the general EU online catchment of Sovereign.
Members within the catchment are free to request transfer. If you’re not a member of SFC and wish to join the opportunity to take part in the new unit, you can sign up today! Visit our Enlistment page to find out more or join.
To Magali and the founding crew, from all of us at the Admiralty Board and SFCQ2, we wish you and Proxmia safe voyage as the crew enter their shakedown cruise. We all look forward to watching the crew grow over the next six months and look forward to their official confirmation!
Congratulations to all, and Godspeed!

Mark Mitchell; 1969-2026
It's with great sadness we report that our Director of Operations, Mark Mitchell, has sadly passed away suddenly earlier this week. Mark was one of our longest serving members and a huge part of what helped shape what SFCQ2 is today. Having served in leadership as a CO, throughout fleet support and originating the role of Director of Administration, Mark's unyielding dedication to the club and his multiple contributions over the decades undoubtedly make him worthy of his Legend handle. From writing the entire base for our modern Academy to being vital in the fleet restructure, to offering support and advice to countless members to support leadership and direction, Mark's efforts serve, and will likely continue to serve, as the backbone of everything that makes Q2 with his primary goal always being to offer the best of everything and push […]

Throughout it’s entire existence SFC has grown, evolved and thrived due tot he commitment and passion of our officers and crew.

A Fistful of ‘Spirk’
We've been spoiled with Spock in the past few years with Discovery introducing a younger iteration of the character long before he became the refined man of logic that made him famous, and continued that story through Strange New Worlds and his time under Captain Pike's command. As Strange New Worlds continues, giving more history to the original series line up and the early meetings of Spock and Kirk as it makes way for the beginning of the Kirk era, we thought we'd look back at some moments that made the partnership one of the most popular combinations in science fiction. JOURNEY TO BABEL TOS Season 2 Spock's got a bit of an issue with sharing. Secret brother who was shunned. Secret sister who's fate was classified. And despite trusting the Enterprise crew with his life, it was clearly only […]
Site & Service Updates July 2026
It's been a strange year as we adapt to then changing landscape of the Star Trek franchise with recent corporate shenanigans in the media industry, as well as adjusting to and anticipating new regulation sin our home base of the UK which has taken up more brain power than we'd expected!Still, despite distractions, we've been working away in the background with a revised Admin schedule to ensure at the very least every Sunday we can check off some items on the to do list and keep everyone updated on the changes whether minor, major or a bit pointless! On Screen Additions After being placed on the low priority list for a while, the On Screen Mission Log section has begun taking shape.

[Q2&A] Membership Handbook: Revised & Updated for 2026
With over fifty years (and counting) of history, joining SFC can sometimes be a whirlwind and while we're always focused on a more casual experience, tit can sometimes be overwhelming knowing where to start. While we offer our Academy as an induction tour of Quadrant 2's organisation and structure, and are always open to expanding more information in the Fleet Database, our Officers Pack gives you a one stop resource to highlight our core policies, membership information and more; The Membership Handbook/ Membership within Q2 is fairly laid back. But since it's inception - both overall as Starfleet Command as well as the administrative split for Quadrant 2 - out handbook has outlined who we are, how we operate and as a resource for members to be able to understand what membership entails from our core mission statement, to our […]
