While the primary source for Federation and Starfleet news and
information is the
UCIP Tribune,
the Coronado also maintains its own newsletter, the Conquistador.
Published approximately "whenever we feel like it," the Conquistador will
keep you up to date with the less formal goings on aboard ship. Anyone
can write an article for this publication, from the lowliest crewman to
the CO himself.For the most part, however, most available news and information will have to do with Starfleet or UCIP bulletins made available since Coronado's commissioning in July 2399. In particular, general Federation news of interest to Coro crew members will be available, as well as updates to command or status of ships in Starfleet. For bulletins prior to that date, feel free to check the Tribune listing above.
| Stardate 240209.12 | Commodore Martin Fury steps down as Omicron Subfleet Commander, and is replaced by Captain Kahlia Scott. | |
| Stardate 240209.04 | U.S.S. Griffin passes trials, thereby becoming Omicron Subfleet's third sim. This renders Omicron Subfleet capable of voting on UCIP-wide issues. | |
| Stardate 240208.25 | Korin proposes to fix the breakdown in the "levels" process within two weeks. This is not done. | |
| Stardate 240207.17 | Kilmarac's sweeping Bylaws changes are firmly rejected by the Command Staff. | |
| Stardate 240207.16 | Kilmarac announces his resignation, effective July 18th. Following this date, Ian Korin becomes the acting Commander in Chief of UCIP Internet. | |
| Stardate 240207.11 | Kilmarac proposes a series of sweeping changes to the Bylaws, limiting some of the powers of the Command Staff and giving the rank-and-file members more say in the day-to-day operations of the group. The changes also place more responsibility on the Command Staff members to keep UCIP's members informed of what they are doing in the group. Finally, the changes require that any open Command Staff position must be filled by an application process and not by automatically giving the deputy the seat. | |
| Stardate 240207.03 | Again, by the very slimmest of margins, Ian Korin is selected as Deputy Commander in Chief of UCIP Internet. Meanwhile, the firestorm continues unabated, entering its second month. By this time, the topics of debate are the passing of the "levels" proposal and whether UCIP's Commanding Officers should call a vote of no confidence on the entire Command Staff. The Command Staff, for their part, do very little, not really participating in the discussion and not doing much to control it, either. | |
| Stardate 240206.25 | Brigadier Craig Shipman is confirmed as Starfleet Fleet Commander. | |
| Stardate 240206.24 | The Deputy Commander in Chief, tr'Raith, resigns (for good this time). | |
| Stardate 240206.17 | The "Levels" proposal passes. This proposal is intended to give each UCIP simmer, regardless of division, an equivalent "level" within the organization. This will theoretically allow each division to develop their own in-character rank structures without interfering in the OOC organization of the group. Three months later, every UCIP member is still waiting for their level number... | |
| Stardate 240206.13 | U.S.S. Cortez, one of the Bergen nominees, withdraws from the group in protest of the "firestorm" that is still ongoing in the group, particularly in protest of the involuntary removal of the DCinC. | |
| Stardate 240206.12 | U.S.S. Coronado is nominated for her third Bergen award. The Bergen process eventually breaks down, and this particular Bergen cycle becomes null and void. Coronado is eventually recognized with an Orion Award. | |
| Stardate 240206.10 | The RSR Fleet Commander, Donalh tr'Rhagarokk, resigns and is replaced by a series of very short-duration replacements over the next several months. | |
| Stardate 240206.02 | The firestorm moves into whether tr'Raith's involuntarily dismissal is right or legal. A vote is called on the matter, and by the slimmest of margins, tr'Raith is reinstated. In the process, the firestorm finds a new topic, the fact that a half-dozen sims are disenfranchised and not recognized for voting purposes in the command staff. In the ensuing mess, the Starfleet Commander, Fleet Captain Pete Mitchell, resigns. His replacement is Brigadier Craig Shipman. | |
| Stardate 240205.29 | UCIP's annual summer firestorm commences, with no fewer than 500 e-mail messages from dozens of members, ranting on a variety of subjects. The firestorm opens with how those of different nationalities and languages are treated by others in the organization and expands into virtually every area of the group. In the initial firestorm, the DCinC, tr'Raith, is involuntarily "resigned" by the Command Staff. | |
| Stardate 240204.25 | Starfleet passes a series of new policies for in-character rank. Among other things, the rank of Fleet Captain is eliminated, and all officers at that rank or above in Starfleet are advanced by one rank. In addition, the policy change sets forth that all future full sim COs will have the rank of Captain. | |
| Stardate 240203.11 | UCIP votes in a Simmer Code of Conduct for the group. Its tenets, among other things: that UCIP members will always treat each other with respect and that the chain of command will be respected by all levels in the organization... | |
| Stardate 240203.04 | Commodore Suzanna Blokpoel steps down as UCIP's Starfleet Commander and is replaced by Fleet Captain Pete Mitchell. | |
| Stardate 240111.26 | Christopher Lennox steps down as UCIP Commander in Chief to take the position of Executive Director of UCIP International. Kilmarac Jarov 'ech takes over as CinC and Adh tr'Raith takes over as Deputy CinC. Adh Donalh tr'Rhagarokk takes over for tr'Raith as Director of the Romulan Star Republic division. | |
| Stardate 240111.26 | U.S.S. Coronado is moved from Starfleet's Fifth ("Epsilon") Fleet to Eighth ("Omicron") Fleet. | |
| Stardate 240111.04 | Starfleet Command creates the Eighth ("Omicron") Fleet, under the command of Captain Martin Fury from U.S.S. Warrior. | |
| Stardate 240110.16 | Captain Veran Amar resigns as Alpha Subfleet Commander and is replaced by Captain Raen de Saint-Bourbon. | |
| Stardate 240109.30 | Commander Robert MacKay steps down as Epsilon Subfleet Commander, and is replaced by Fleet Captain Roger Boren. | |
| Stardate 240109.05 | Commander Kevin Smith steps down as Deputy Communications Director effective 240109.30, and is replaced about two weeks later by Faikaru tr'Thrai. | |
| Stardate 240109.12 | Captain Andrew Mitchell resigns as Deputy Commander in Chief, following the real-life destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City. | |
| Stardate 240106.19 | Captain Andrew Mitchell, known to Coro's simmers as Alffred, or Captain Jarod Bentall, is selected as UCIP's Deputy Commander in Chief! Unfortunately, he resigns only 18 days later. | |
| Stardate 240107.29 | Commander Betlar resigns as Fleet Services Director and is replaced a few days later by Fleet Captain Leia Dean. | |
| Stardate 240107.16 | Two more resignations within a few days of this date: Commander Ksenia Shamanov resigns as Director of Logistics and is replaced by Commander Camelia Cadan. A few days later, Fleet Captain Salek steps down as Epsilon Subfleet Commander, and is replaced by Commander Robert MacKay. Two weeks later, Commander Betlar resigns as Fleet Services Director and is replaced by Captain Beth Gulain. | |
| Stardate 240106.19 | The changes to #backroom channel policies enacted three months previously are repealed. | |
| Stardate 240104.18 | Commander Alana Dolin steps down as Starfleet Beta Subfleet Commander. Captain Mark McGrath is selected as her replacement. | |
| Stardate 240104.18 | Captain Kayless takes an extended leave of absense from her duties as Deputy CinC. Kilmarac Jarov 'ech (Fleet Captain) is selected as her interim replacement. The ELOA lasts until 15 May, at which point Captain Kayless resumes her duties, and Kilmarac returns to his role as KDF Fleet Commander. | |
| Stardate 240103.12 | UCIP introduces a significant change to its public channel #backroom by limiting the channel to discussions and topics which could be approved by the U.S. "G" General Audience rating. More risqué conversation is banned. This ridiculous denial of reality runs into practical trouble almost immediately... | |
| Stardate 240101.27 | Captain Kayless is selected as the new Deputy Commander in Chief of UCIP, Internet. | |
| Stardate 240101.22 | Coronado moves her IRC operations from RPGworlds to KDFSnet. The same day, Admiral Soran steps down as Deputy Commander in Chief of UCIP, Internet. | |

| Stardate 240010.27 | Fleet Captain Suzanna Blokpoel posts the reasons for Taddy's removal from his position to the listservers of the starships of the Fifth Fleet. A few hours later, she is banned from StarChat. | |
| Stardate 240010.25 | Rear Admiral Taddy Mitchell is forcibly removed from the CinC's office for conflict of interest and abuse of authority reasons. Fleet Captain Ian Korin becomes Acting Commander in Chief. | |
| Stardate 240010.24 | Jester resigns as Deputy Commander in Chief, indicating that the new CinC should be allowed to select his own Deputy. It is later announced that his resignation had much to do with the abuse of authority of the departing CinC. Over the same day, many of the nicknames and channels used by UCIP members on StarChat are unregistered. Jester and Rear Admiral Lennox are banned from StarChat. | |
| Stardate 240010.23 | Jester announces that Captain Mariko Furyama-Spartan has withdrawn Starbase Arcadia and U.S.S. Kyoto from UCIP. The next day, he announces the resignation of Chief of Logistics, Commander Larkin Kelley. | |
