In the heart of STARFLEET, the Auxiliary Service brings together a lively group of people who share common interests and goals. Imagine a team of friends who love costuming, 3D printing, or talking about their pets; they gather to create a special club where everyone can share ideas and lend a hand. Here are some of the ways the different Auxiliary Services are having fun in STARFLEET.
