Starfleet Task Force 31 (STF31)
The recent resurgence of Star Trek fandom, fueled by the release of new TV shows like “Star Trek: Discovery”, “Star Trek: Picard”, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, and the two animated series “Star Trek: Lower Decks” and “Star Trek: Prodigy”, as well as the increased availability of sci-fi content on television and streaming services, has created a wealth of opportunities for new Star Trek fan clubs like STF31.
STF31 strives to deliver unparalleled service to its members with humility and emotional intelligence. Our goal is to provide the ultimate Star Trek fan experience. We differentiate ourselves from other organizations by fostering loyalty through our members and consistently exceeding their expectations.
Starfleet Task Force 31, The North American Star Trek Fan Club, adopts its structure from the Starfleet organization depicted in Star Trek media. In the Star Trek universe, Starfleet serves as both the exploratory and security arm of the United Federation of Planets. The foundation of STF31 lies in the idea that Starfleet primarily serves as an exploratory entity, and much of the organization’s framework is built upon this concept.
Although the official name of the organization is Starfleet Task Force 31, The North America Star Trek Fan Club, it is commonly referred to as “Task Force 31,” “STF31,” or “Starfleet Task Force 31.” Members are encouraged to use “Starfleet Task Force 31” whenever possible.
Components of Starfleet Task Force 31
