    FAB spacer small

    Starfleet Academy has always played a crucial role within the UFPlanets community. At the helm of the Academy since July 2013, Silynn has led the department admirably. Under his supervision, the Academy has seen a surge in staff numbers and the exam system has seen steady updates. Silynn’s contribution to the team cannot be emphasised enough, however he feels that now is the time to step down from his role as Dean of Starfleet Academy.

    His decision to withdraw from command came with a bold recommendation, that the Academy should join the Federation Administrative Bureau. Bringing yet another large administrative team into FAB will necessitate that certain changes to the structure of the department will need to be made. With this in mind, to ensure stability within Starfleet Academy, Mazoue will continue on as the Dean (team lead) of the Academy within the Bureau.

    I want to emphasise that this change will have little impact on how members of the community interact with the Academy. It is my hope that the Academy will find greater support through sharing forums with the community’s main administrative taskforce. With the addition of the Academy team, FAB can now truly be said to be the centralised administrative department within the community. It is my hope that this streamlines future changes to any administrative functions within the community.

    Over the coming week, the Academy staff, resources and responsibilities will be brought in to FAB. In the mean time, please join me in thanking Silynn for his service to the Academy, and in congratulating Mazoue on his ascension to the leading Academy role within FAB.

    Silynn always does top shelf work, not surprising that the same was done here, to an exceptional level.

    But just because stellar has become status quo for Silynn doesnt mean its any less appreciated.

    Thanks for all the hard work and dedication!

    Silynn, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Academy over the years. It has been an extreme pleasure to work with you and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. And Mazoue, I thank you as well for continuing to help guide the academy into its future home within FAB. Well done to you both!

    Well done Silynn, always great work whether its with the Academy or the Signature team et cetera. I have no doubt that Mazoue will do an equally stellar job as the team lead.

    Though is greater centralisation into FAB really the answer? It has always been my view, perhaps wrongly, that centralisation in this community hasn't really worked.

    The role FAB performs within the larger Star Trek community is a shadow of what happened under SDC. We went from monthly community events with multiple communities not just in STO but in Bridge Commander too, to almost no inter-fleet events.

    How will FAB ensure that every recruit has the same level and quality of resources and support when it's already tasked with forum moderation, community support, recruitment, inter-fleet relations and forum graphics?

    It strikes me that the oversight in this area could be too great to efficiently provide the same level of service as that which was provided under the Academy.
