8.24 Star Fleet Museum Founded

UFP Infonet — 21 June 2170

Today in official ribbon-cutting ceremonies presided over by Romulan War hero William Larson, Memory Alpha opened its new Star Fleet Museum to the general public. This special exhibit hall will have numerous displays on the history of the Federation’s main exploration and peacekeeping arm, from its rise as a Terran space military force to the present. Admiral Larson, who commanded the famed Triangle Campaign of the war, still looked imposing in his war-era uniform as he conducted the first tour of the Star Fleet Museum for visiting dignitaries and reporters on behalf of the UESPA foundation. Among the highlights of the exhibits were an actual DY-500 series starship used in the First Earth-Kzin war, a reproduction of the bridge of the USS Amity (the first Terran starship to make contact with the Vulcans), a tri-vid holosim of life aboard the Tellarite space ark Gartov, and a full-size cutaway of an early Vulcan warp engine. Star Fleet has thrown its full support behind the new Star Fleet Museum, promising to donate several retired starships to be fixed in orbit as permanent displays that can be visited via orbital shuttle once the logistics are worked out.
