Well Captains,

It has been announced that the UFC ( United Fleet Coalition ) and its Teamspeak will be closing its doors on Monday April 1st 2013.

No this is not an early April fools joke, Unfortunately.

However there is some good news!

One of our fellow Members of the Canadian Federation, Sousa, has kindly provided us with a new Teamspeak server with the other fleets.

This New Coalition has been dubbed
Star Trek Online United

Log into the Fleet Forums to get the Server Information.

Currently The Canadian Federation and The Orion Cygnus Fleet are members, and it is expected to grow.

While you are there, don’t forget to change your UFC channel to the new one.. ask an admin on the teamspeak server or on our in-game fleet chat.

Thanks again to Sousa for this amazing opportunity!

Happy Trekking!
