UPCOMING EVENTS
The United Federation of Planets has a good number of events coming up! You can sign up for any of these events here:
- AGE OF EMPIRES II: DEFINITIVE EDITION:
Tuesday, 3rd December at 1900 GMT/UFP (In progress, sorry I'm late on the newsletter Seapanda); Quartermaster Seapanda We will be playing the remake of the above named game, Age of Empires II: Remastered. There are several mods that are currently being used in the game, and new members who join the event will be able to either subscribe to the mods (graphical mods) or we will revert back to the default game.
A customer defense map is currently being used, where all players face off against increasingly more difficult AI. For the time being, the teams will be locked, to prevent people like me turning on you lot Smile Later on, as this event grows, we will ask for feedback and look into different maps and game modes.
- HALO: REACH:
Wednesday, 4th December at 1500 GMT/UFP; Event Officer Lars2510 We'll be doing back to back multiplayer matches, against other public teams. Game mode will completely vary, dependent on player population, queue times and what everyone wants to do. Hoping to get a good few hours in, so bring sustenance.

- STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC:
Thursday, 5th December at 0200 GMT/UFP; Event Officer Michael Greetings fellow Commanders (or ex-Commanders)!
This event is help those active to get their weekly (daily) grinds done together! It's a lot more enjoyable to get the weekly stuff done together to grind out your reknown to 300 on multiple characters, if you're playing with friends.
- STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC:
Thursday, 5th December at 2000 GMT/UFP; Executive Officer Bedders Greetings fellow Champions!
Tonight we perform one or more dangerous missions to aid the Galaxy in it's glorious fight!
How many missions is determined by the galaxy's most wealthy, as they send urgent requests for help from all corners of the galaxy.
We may be up against members of the Hutt Cartels, smugglers, pirates, or a large faction such as the Republic or Empire!
It is hoped that all attending will make it back in one piece, but as ever - last messages to loved ones will be passed across should you fall in battle.
