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.

GFC Celebrates TNG anniversary during Summer Ball 2017
On 15th July, 2017 it was time to honor the work of our officers and fleet members. The Summer ball took place in a place looking like “10 forward” from the TV show “The Next Generations”. This is due the fact that it’s the 3Oth anniversary of “Star Trek – The Next Generations“. So all gathered to award and promote those who were recommend by the senior officers and/or the admiralty.
The transporter brought us to a Transport room near 10Forward, and the walkway lead the way to the event location. In front of the window there was a stage with the speakers desk and stands. On teach side of the stage there were posters with the names of the awarded and promoted officers. In front of stage we had some nice tables and chairs where people can sit and enjoy the event. Behind the tables at the rear of the room we had a bar where some nice drinks where served.
Without a big show or roleplay the ceremony started and ViceFleetAdmiral Mechanique called the officers in groups to the stage to present them with their awards and promotions. The offers where asked to give a small speech to the audience.
As the official part of the event was over the fun part of it started with some party and dancing. VFADM Mechanique asked all to beam to the Galaxy Beach near the headquarter. At the beach bar we danced and had a nice time to finish the Summer ball of 2017.
We all look forward for future events and to the work of all the hard officers supporting the Fleet.
GFC Communications would like to thank all who helped to build the ball environment Thomas Aker and Andromeda Quonset.
