Greetings, crew! The latest fleet-wide Command Status Report is out. To save you from digging through pages of administrative data, we have broken down the most essential updates, system notices, and upcoming activities that impact general crew members across STARFLEET.
Here is what you need to know:
🚀 Office of the Commander & Technology Update
-
System Outages & Rebuilding: You have likely noticed recent stability issues with organizational emails, the Academy, and regional websites. Two legacy infrastructure servers encountered a security vulnerability. Important Note: There is no indication that any member information was compromised.
-
trajectory is Positive: Secure mail infrastructure is coming back online by office priority, and database/Academy services are stabilizing.
-
Security Changes: Moving forward, organization-wide password resets are being rolled out, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is actively being built into restored services to better secure your accounts.
-
Virtual International Conference (VIC) 2026: Due to timelines, there will be no in-person IC this year. Instead, VIC 2026 will take place digitally on August 1st, 2026.
-
It will feature 24-hour access to a Gather Town environment, social spaces, evening entertainment, and planetary streaming programs.

💻 Educational Services & Academy
-
Moodle Upgrades: The Academy platform has been undergoing a massive infrastructure and OS upgrade to Moodle v4.
-
How to Take Courses Right Now: While Moodle remains in maintenance mode, you don’t have to pause your studies! Crew members can look up the course catalog via the Educational Services Facebook group or the SFA-Business Discord channel to get the email addresses of individual College Directors. You can contact them directly to request and complete exams via PDF files. (Please give Directors up to 10 days to process these manual requests ).
-
60th Anniversary Challenge Delayed: Due to the Moodle downtime, the Commandant’s 60th Anniversary Challenge has been temporarily delayed but will still span 6 months once it begins.
👥 Membership Services
-
2026 Recruitment Contest: The annual recruitment drive is officially active from May 1, 2026, through September 15, 2026 (perfectly timed for convention season and the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek on Sept 8!). Expanded awards are being offered for recruiters this year.
-
Onboarding & Verification: Standardized email onboarding sequences are running via Mailchimp. If you receive one, please use it to verify your personal profile data so fleet records remain accurate.
