If you don't find something there that aligns with your interests, you can always fill out the volunteer interest form to express your desire for something specific to help our community grow. Use the bottom section of the form for that and make sure you treat it just as importantly as an application for an open position. Put in as many details as possible and thank you for your interest!

    • STAR TREK ONLINE:
      Sunday, 11th October at 2100 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 week in a series of "Tour The Holdings" events that will encompass all the current fleet holdings for the STO Federation, KDF & SWTOR Republic & Sith, what we explore will be determined by those attending.

    • STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC:
      Sunday, 11th October at 2200 GMT/UFP; SFHolo 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.

    • HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION:
      Wednesday, 14th October at 1930 GMT/UFP; SFHolo Commanding Officer Bedders In this event we will be running through the campaigns chronologically (Halo Reach, Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo 5). We will split up into smaller fireteams as necessary (some of the games have a 2-person limit, others have 4) depending on how many players attend. Please make sure you have an up-to-date copy of the game that we are playing on the day. It can be purchased from either the Microsoft Store or Steam as they both work together.

      So come, grab the cola and pizza, and relive the legend of Halo Night.

      Good luck Spartans!

    • THE DIVISION 2:
      Friday, 16th October at 1700 GMT/UFP; SFHolo Quartermaster Heyallo Greetings Fellow Agents,

      This is it, We're on the the march now, it's a new season and we have people to kill!

      (I have no idea where the season is at right now, but I'll put up events each weekend until we are all caught up!)

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


    • AMOUNG US:
      Friday, 16th October at 1900 GMT/UFP; SFHolo Executive Officer Seapanda Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game, developed and published by the game studio InnerSloth and released on June 15, 2018. The game takes place in a space-themed setting where players each take on one of two roles, most being Crewmates, and a predetermined number being Impostors. The goal for the Crewmates is to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks around the map, and the Impostors' goal is to kill the Crewmates without being identified.

      There's not much to say about this event except for be quick, be stealthy, and most importantly, don't get caught.

      P.S. Luke did it.




    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
