    SAVE THE DATE
    The 50th United Federation of Planets Awards Ceremony (UFPAC) will be held on Saturday 22nd December. The event is held roughly every three months and awards members with rank advancements and medals which are awarded for various achievements. To get a promotion and/or a medal you need to be active on the forums or in game, attending events and participating in forum discussions. Then you stand a good chance of getting noticed and receiving a nomination for an award from one of the CL6, CL5 or CL4 members of the UFP. There is a week long series of events in the run up to the UFPAC ceremony so keep an eye on the events page to find out what’s happening.

    COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
    There have been some major personnel moves within the command structure of UFP within the last couple of weeks:
    • After a distinguished career as the Head of Community Development, KerryMalone, is taking a well earned retirement. We wish him well on wherever life takes him; don’t be a stranger Kerry!
    • Taking on Kerry’s role within the Federation Executive Office is Petrarch who has been the Commandant of Starfleet Academy. A well deserved promotion and a natural successor to take over this seat. Congratulations Petrarch – orange looks good on you!
    • It’s all change at the command level for Starfleet Academy as Saelanna has taken on the Deputy Head of Administration post within the Federation Administrative Bureau.
    • The Community Graphics Team has a new staff member; Arlu3n is the latest crew member so keep an eye out for his work on this busy team.

    UFP would not be the place it is today without our volunteers who selflessly sacrifice their time to help out. Check out the currently open volunteer positions, and how to apply for one, here.

    UPCOMING EVENTS
    You can sign up for any of these events here:
    • Starcraft Remastered: This event is for any player of Starcraft: Brood War who is looking for campaign advice, CO-OP, Ladder Play, or just friends to play Custom Maps with. There is a 8 player limit in any single game so should more than 8 people attend we will split into multiple sessions (matching levels as best we can). It is advised to have Starcraft: Remastered, but if not you can have Starcraft: Brood War since it is Free 2 Play. Join us on Wednesday 12th December at 00:30 UFP time.
    • Lord of The Rings Online: “Join The Fellowship”, join us on the Laurelin server every Wednesday evening at 19:30 GMT/UFP until late as we complete deeds, level characters, complete group content or just chill for a drink in The Prancing Pony.
    • Diablo III (PS4): This event is for any player of Diablo 3 who is looking for leveling, advice, bounties, rifts, or just friends to play alongside. There is a 4 player limit in any single game so should more than 4 people attend we will split into multiple sessions (matching levels as best we can). It is advised to have the Reaper of Souls because without it you may be unable to join us should enough people vote for content within it. We will be playing using Regular Heroes. This event takes place at 00:00 UFP time on Thursday 13th December.
    • Stellaris: This event will be a multi-hour session of Stellaris. We will be starting a new Multiplayer game following the release of the latest MegaCorp DLC and will be playing cooperatively against AI opponents. If you wish to design your race please make sure you are there before the official start time so that you have plenty of time to customise. Join us on Friday 14th December at 19:00 UFP time.
    • Community Meeting: The community meeting is an excellent opportunity for all members to witness the inner workings and discussions and is also a great chance for you to get YOUR voice heard. Each community meeting that has taken place in the past has been a huge success and we look forward to a great turnout. Even if you don't have a microphone, your questions and feedback will still be read and addressed, what you have to say is important to us. Join us on Saturday 15th December at 21:00 UFP!
    • New Member Welcome Session: There will be an informal meeting to welcome new members to the UFP at 22:30 UFP time on Saturday 17th December. The meeting will be held in TeamSpeak although you do not need a microphone, just the ability to listen in on the conversation.
    • Overwatch (PS4): This event is for any player who is looking to play Overwatch. We will be playing selected Heroes/Skins of our own choosing, so show off your favourite. Join the team at 23:00 UFP time on Wednesday 19th December.


    It is highly recommended that you keep one eye on the events page whenever you visit the site because random events are always popping up there.
