New Science Subdivision
Xenology- Log, Entry Alpha 0001

I am excited! Yesterday I received my orders from Starfleet to work on the newest GFC-Science Subdivision: Xenology. They want me to lead the Subdivision, together with Commodore Falo Priestman, my old friend and mentor from GFC Linguistics.
I am amazed that he will be my Assistant Lead and I am glad to have him on board.
What makes me even more happy is that Captain Isra Laval is joining Xenology, too. She has been my mate and comrade for many years of service, and so I am glad that she will be with me on this journey.

<<< wooooooosh-sound from replicator in the back >>>
Ok, so here we are with Xenology, Commodore Priestman, Captain Laval and me. Where will it lead us ? We shall see.
I have a gazillion plans already in mind, yet I will wait for our first meeting in just an hour.
Xenology – that generally may be defined as the scientific study of all aspects of extraterrestrial life, intelligence, and civilization. Our mission, explore and scientifically study what’s out there.
Together with many disciplines of science we are looking for the what, where and how of extraterrestrial life. There are the fields of Xenobiology, Xenoarchaeology, Xenorobotics, Xeno-economics, Xenoecology, Astronomy Science, Xeno-Oceanology, Xenoengineering, Xenoethnology, Xensociology, as well as Xenomusicology and Xenolinguistics – just to name a few.
Those branches of service will be instated within the XL-Subdivision as Departments and be brought together to complete any scientific approach XL is going to make in its future.
And I wish it a bright one.
Last but not least I want to say that it is an honor for me to lead such a great Subdivision and personnel , like Falo and Isra, whom I definitely count as my friends. Great officers and beings.”

New Xenology Subdivision Insignia
Dear Members of GFC and guests.
This is Farodin Rhiadra blogging and having the honor to present you the official GFC Xenology Insignia:
GFC Xenology Insignia
Just to give you some Idea on how we formed the looks of the Insignia:
The Insignia is created in line with most of the other GFC designs by general style: golden laurel wreath, circumferencing an outer golden ring, and another, inner ring in division color (Science Division = blue).
In the background one can see the Starfleet Communicator Badge with the excerpt from the UFP-Flag: the Federation Stars.
The lettering is in normal caps, as Xenology is a SubDivision, whereas Divisions would be in All Caps.
Talking on the SubDivisions Insignia:
The (Sub) Divisional Insignia is formed by a ring in the center of the general design. Blueish in looks to keep up with Science Division colors, symbolizing a magnifying lens. So showing that Xenology is looking – though researching – on something.
Through that magnifying lens you will spot a DNA-Strand that is all covered by something looking as like a scanner beam.
This shall emblematize the scientific method, we are going to use on what we focus on: life – in all its shades and colors.
As one already would have guesses, the DNA-Strand is the main building block of life of many known species – yet the universe has many more, as we all know. Yet this is the most remarkable and versatile though.
Hoping that you all may like the new Insignia.
CaptainFarodin Rhiadra,
GFC XL Lead.
