QUADRANT 1 INFORMATION
Starfleet Command is a name shared between two clubs with an intertwined history. Quadrant 2 (thats us!) began as part of Quadrant One before branching out into it’s own independent group to ensure that our leadership teams – The Admiralty Board – were truly representative off their regions.
Each Quadrant runs autonomously, with it’s own Board and Support structure to assist and Each unit is run as a Starship, Starbase or Space Station with the appropriate departmental structures and crew assignments. You can find out more about each sector in our Information section.
Quadrant One’s base of Operations lies in North America, with units spreading across the United States & Canada, and covers the American continent.
As part off our interconnected history and cooperation as one big happy fleet, Quadrant 2 strictly doesn’t accept members from Quadrant 1’s region. If you are based in North or South America, we recommend finding out more about Quadrant 1 at their online home, starfleet-ccommand.com.
Anyone who signs up to us erroneously will be passed over to Quadrant 1’s Membership Services Officer.
THE REST OF THE WORLD
Some time ago SFC had expanded into a third region, Quadrant 3. However the region became inactive and was discontinued as a result. But this doesn’t mean fans outwith the two active quadrants can’t participate within SFC.
Aside from members within Europe, Quadrant 2 also hosts members from far out regions including Australia and Russia. Any member outwith our catchment area who joins our ranks ius assigned to the USS Sovereign Unit, which is hope to all members of Europe without a dense local clustter.
Both Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2’s doors are open to members outside the catchment area and we’re always supportive of anyone willing to revive what was Quadrant 3.
Whether you choose to join us, or our friends in Q1, wee recommend weighing up the options of each regions geographical and cultural locations, benefits to online members who are far out off reach and make the best decision for you.
You can learn more about us in Quadrant 2 by checking out our Information Section, Comms Previews or Facebook Page. You can learn more about Quadrant 1 at their online home.
