Welcome to STARFLEET
Command Academy
The primary mission of Starfleet Academy is to educate our members so they are better prepared to serve their units, Starfleet Command, and all fandom. We serve as a knowledge resource in many areas including (but not limited to) science, astronomy, Star Trek trivia, and Naval history.
All new Starfleet Command Quadrant One members start as enlisted recruits in their local units. (If under the age of 10, they begin as midshipmen). Once a recruit turns 16, the individual can enroll in Officer Candidate School (OCS). Then they can start the Commanding Training Program with Phases which is the Career Path exam and then their Officer Candidate School Graduation Exam.
