    COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
      The 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
    The United Federation of Planets has a good number of events coming up! You can sign up for any of these events here:

    • STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC:
      Thursday, 9th July at 2000 GMT/UFP; Event Officer Lukekillzz 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.

    • STELLARIS:
      Friday, 10th July at 1900 GMT/UFP; Commanding Officer Bedders This event will be a multi-hour session of Stellaris. We will be continuing our save from 12th June and using the Stellaris Test branch.

      I look forward to seeing you there!

    • STAR TREK ONLINE:
      Saturday, 11th July at 1900 GMT/UFP; SFA Executive Officer Michael Do you feel a little bewildered by all the various offerings at the fleet holdings in STO and TOR? Are you new to the game or have you returned from a lengthy absence? Join us at for an opportunity to see what's on offer at the UFPs fleet/guild holdings. Once the tour is done feel free to join us for some TFOs/Heroics.

      This event will be reoccurring each month in a series of "Tour The Holdings" events that will encompass all the current fleet holdings for the STO Federation, KDF & SWTOR Republic & Sith, one holding randomly selected per event.

    • STAR TREK ONLINE:
      Saturday, 11th July at 2000 GMT/UFP; Special Forces Commander Solace Greetings members! Welcome to Special Forces Saturday! This event is open to everyone to come along and enjoy some jolly cooperation! Its time to save the Galaxy!

      We'll be meeting on DS9 next the shipyard/exchange. Level 50+ character will be required! See you all there!

    • STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC:
      Saturday, 11th July at 2200 GMT/UFP; Event Officer Michael Greetings fellow Commanders (or ex-Commanders)!

      This event will help our guild rank up, by us completing our personal conquest goals together! It's a lot more enjoyable to get the weekly stuff done, if you're playing with friends.

    • OVERWATCH:
      Tuesday, 14th July at 1900 GMT/UFP; Event Officer Chris Wilkinson We'll be playing some Overwatch today for any folks who are interested. Primarily I'll be looking at either Quick Play or Arcade (I'm not near level 25 on PC).

      So suit up and let's protect the world as a team.

    • SEA OF THIEVES:
      Wednesday, 15th July at 1930 GMT/UFP; Event Officer Chris Wilkinson The plan for this event is to have a lot of fun on the high seas in the Sea of Thieves. We'll be doing random missions and perhaps if the group want we'll try to complete some of the more significant quests on offer.

      If we do have more than 4 people, we'll split up into crews and each one will do their own thing and if we're lucky, we'll end up in the same lobby.

    • LORD OF THE RINGS ONLINE:
      Friday, 17th July at 2030 GMT/UFP; Deputy Head of FAB Saelanna With the release of Update 27, The Lord of the Rings Online introduced a brand-new annual event. The Midsummer Festival celebrates the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen, which took place some time after the overthrow of Sauron. Aragorn, now finally King of Gondor and Arnor as Elrond mandated, can finally wed his fair Elven lady. So, throw off the armour and only raise your weapons in salute, for the new Midsummer Festival is on until the 20th July.

    • THE DIVISION 2:
      Saturday, 18th July at 1700 GMT/UFP; Quartermaster Heyallo Greetings Fellow Agents,

      Next up is Luna! We going to hunt the moon y'all!

      NOTE: 4 person group limit, so if more than that show, we will do our best to split into even groups =)

    • STAR TREK ONLINE:
      Sunday, 19th July at 2000 GMT/UFP; Special Forces Commander Solace In this themed event we dive back into the 23rd Century in ”Without Orders”. The Enterprise has vanished, last reported near Starbase 343 near the Klingon Neutral Zone. Long range sensors detected a massive burst of Episilon Radiation near their last reported position. Command has put the entire Starfleet on alert and dispatched our task force to investigate.




    It is highly recommended that you keep one eye on the events page whenever you visit the site because random events are being added all the time!

    Thanks for reading and we’ll see you around the galaxy! Live Long and Prosper
