CREW MANIFEST

ABOUT US

Starship Nomadic is a free, friendly Star Trek fan group based in Northern Ireland. We're non-profit and unofficial: just fans who love the show and enjoy sharing it.

Everyone is welcome aboard, whether you grew up with Kirk and Spock or started with Strange New Worlds last week. We try to live up to the best of Star Trek: curiosity, kindness and a belief that our differences make us stronger.

THE SHIP'S STORY

CLASS
Constitution-class heavy cruiser
LAUNCHED
2254, San Francisco Fleet Yards
HOME PORT
None. That's the point.
SHIP'S MOTTO
Many worlds, one crew.
  1. 2254Launched from the San Francisco Fleet Yards as one of Starfleet's Constitution-class heavy cruisers: built for exploration, defence and diplomacy far from home.
  2. 2256During the Klingon War she serves behind the lines, evacuating border colonies and ferrying medical teams. She never stays at any starbase for long, and her crew start calling her "the Nomad".
  3. 2258After the war, Starfleet makes the nickname official. The USS Nomadic is given a standing mission with no home port: roam the frontier, bringing supplies, news and help to colonies that rarely see a starship.
  4. 2259Today her crew comes from dozens of worlds. They share one lounge, The Causeway, named by a homesick engineer from County Antrim after the Giant's Causeway. Wherever the Nomadic roams, there's a little bit of Northern Ireland aboard.
