Our initial aspirations were, admittedly, as ambitious as a warp-speed voyage: to reach a million members by the close of our second year, establishing chapters in every state and across most nations.
In retrospect, you could say we miscalculated the temporal distortion field. As of today, our roster stands at 600 true members (those who've officially joined via our website) and a robust 7,500 recruits (our valued community members on Facebook).
The original five-year timeline for this ambitious growth plan will conclude as scheduled on October 5, 2025. However, our mission is far from over.
We are excited to announce a five-year extension to our growth initiative, contingent upon the successful launch of a truly groundbreaking endeavor: the construction of a full-scale, iconic Class F shuttlecraft – the NCC-1701/6, The Einstein.
Further details regarding this thrilling project will be unveiled in November.
We firmly believe that the tangible effort to build The Einstein will serve as an extraordinary catalyst. This initiative is designed to generate significant excitement and widespread media coverage, providing the necessary propulsion to help us achieve our one-million-member goal.
Beyond membership, the Einstein project is poised to forge vital new connections and enhance our legitimacy within the broader Star Trek universe. This includes building strong relationships with major "Trek" organizations, such as Paramount or whichever entity holds stewardship of the property.
By demonstrating our commitment and capability, we aim to become a recognized and respected force within the fandom.
This endeavor represents more than just a construction project; it's a strategic pivot designed to galvanize our community, attract new enthusiasts, and solidify our position as a serious and dedicated group. It's time to build, to inspire, and to grow!
