The USS Ajax – The Flagship of the GFC Fleet
This Galaxy Class Starship has certainly stood the test of time. Through battles and wars and years and years of Role Play, most see the Ajax as just another ship. This is more than a ship, it is a figurehead for the fleet – a sign that anything can go on even if it takes damage.
The Ajax has had a few refits over the years. The first the bridge was primitive prim. Over the years, Timol McMillan rebuilt the entire set. Everything started with an idea and inspiration from Admiral Mechanique. His initial vision was to just build a Role Play set but the USS Ajax changed and turned into something more than just an RP.
As with every Trek series, it is in need of a crew, and the Ajax crew changes often. Within GFC, our ship crews are like family, where we all support each other.
As the Ajax RP ventures throughout the galaxy, the story has changed to become what the Ajax is known for today – the weekly continuation of a story. With the Admirals’s weekly Pre-Briefings, new ideas are brought to the table, and is often the first time new crew members are introduced to the idea behind the Trek RP.
The Pre-Briefing is an educational 30 minutes into the workings of a Galaxy Class Starship and other systems and functions. If you glance at just a day in the life of the Ajax crew, you can see the role-play fully developed down to the sneeze of an Ensign! The topical idea placed into the adventure puts everyone in the heart of the moment with the Admiral. Just like a real TV shows it’s all-exact to the facts.
Even though the crew may change, the Ajax RP may never end or be destroyed. The heart of the idea came from somewhere to find its light in the present day People from all reaches of Second Life have come to GFC to realize the dream.
We wish the USS Ajax many safe journeys.

New Monorail for GalaxyFleetCommand
GFC Monorail: Sandbox Station
GalaxyFleetCommand Engineering is proud to present their latest addition to our sims.
In January, a team of talented GFC’s engineers and researchers built a new monorail system connecting some of our most populated areas. Those engineers and researchers were TimoL McMillan who did the tracks, Merky (Richmerk Resident) who started the project, Wolfie (wolferein.foxdale) who made the train and Richardjrn Weatherwax who was the project lead and helped with scripting.
This new transportation system, which is still in development phase, currently has four stations to serve you. The Aeon sim contains two stations: The primary hub is located in the Aeon Sandbox, which is a very popular location for our own builders, as well as travelers from other parts of the universe. Our other Aeon station is located in the center of Galaxy Market and within a short walking distance to our Star Gate.
The monorail line follows the Galaxy River where it becomes a subway, making a stop at GFC Headquarters. Continuing underground through the Galaxy sim, directly underneath Roddenberry Center, it again surfaces at GFC Academy, giving students a convenient way to get to class.
Looking to get from Aeon to the Tactical Center in the Sovereign sim? We’re got you covered – Take the trip in our new transparent monorail cars and take the scenic route!
GalaxyFleetCommand is looking forward to the work of our very talented engineers.
