  1. SAN FRANCISCO, EARTH — Starfleet officials reported today that the academy received its lowest number of applications in nearly three decades, as the organization struggles to reshape itself and compete against a growing number of civilian alternatives for deep space exploration. “I want to make clear that while we did have a lower than expected volume of applications, the number of applicants still exceeded the number of available spots,” said Arun Mehta, Dean of Admissions at the academy. “This year’s incoming class continues the proud Starfleet tradition of upholding the highest standards.” Yet many others, from retired officers to politicians, warn that today’s report shows the urgency needed to revitalize the venerated institution. “I’ve been saying it for years,” said Councillor Antasa Dros of Peliar Zel II, who disagreed with Mehta’s assurances. “Even if you have more applicants than spots, fewer applicants means you have fewer choices from which to pick the best.” View the full article
  2. TILANNA V – After battling against corruption and terrorism, investors are now turning their eyes once more to the former mining planet. The popular planet, which rests just beyond the outer edge of Federation space, has long been a regular stop for merchants dealing in goods from across the quadrant.

  3. RT @KRADeC: @fednewsservice Thank you so much! I'm honored!

  4. Richard Janon reports from Forward Operating Base Gwalior on Intar near the Tzenkethi border, which opened to fanfare, musical performances, and a surprise starship landing. When the Federation was first contacted by the Intaran Executive Council, little did they know it would take three Starfleet captains to negotiate for a joint Federation/Intaran base. Despite their request for a meeting with a Starfleet representative, the Executive Council turned away Captain Jonas Han[...] of the USS Indominable, requesting that Starfleet send a representative “of great stature”. In response, the Federation flagship was pulled from its patrol duties and sent to Intar in the hopes that its captain, a noted diplomat, would be able to negotiate. While met with courtesy and goodwill by the Executive Council, as well as the populace in general, he was also turned away at the first meeting. Subsequent meetings were held, several with members of the ship’s crew whom the captain hoped would be acceptable to the Intarans. Finally, a civilian contractor, a Bolian, was included in the negotiation party, where the Starfleet delegation learned they were all too thin, which made many Intarans uncomfortable.

Harris and Jack Elmlinger, Star Trek: Citadel explores contemporary themes through the idea of a world where nearly everyone is what we would consider overweight.

  8. Rita Flemming, the award-winning author of the mystery/adventure holonovel Telepathis, discusses the problems between telepathic and non-telepathic species currently seen in the Tacalia system near the Federation’s border.

  17. Final Starfleet detachment leaves Cardassian soil https://t.co/vGScBq6zSc https://t.co/cGUFboY7Fc

  18. CARDASSIA PRIME – The closure of the Headquarters Allied Reconstruction Forces today marked the first time that Starfleet has had not an active presence on the Cardassian homeworld since the end of the Dominion War. Located in the Coranum Sector of the capital city of Cardassia City, HARF–as it has come to be known by its staff and local residents–has spent the past seventeen years assisting in restoring the shattered infrastructure and rendering aid to the battered Cardassian people in the wake of the Jem’Hadar’s genocidal rampage in the dying hours of the quadrant’s bloodiest conflict. Although many Cardassians initially saw the joint Federation-Klingon effort as an occupation force, opinions soon changed following the restoration of Lakarian City in 2378, three years after it was leveled as a warning to Corat Damar’s rebellion.

  25. PARIS, EARTH – On the penultimate evening of her extraordinary thirteen-year term, outgoing President Nanietta Bacco delivered her farewell address to the Federation. Speaking from her office on the fifteenth floor of the Palais de la Concorde, Bacco began by reflecting on a 500-year-old quote by Earth leader Red Cloud: “My sun is set. My day is done. Darkness is stealing over me. Before I lie down to rise no more, I will speak to my people.” “While these words seem most fitting for someone approaching an end,” Bacco said, “I actually had them in mind thirteen years ago when we first began this journey together.” View the full article
