Well, hello there once again. I have several things to cover, but before I do that I must apologize for not reporting as it were. The last time I did was this past September. Since then I have been keeping up the Brightstar's newsletter the StarLight. Speaking about the StarLight newsletter, the month's StarLight(December), will be the last for 2024. Don't worry, we will be putting out January issue. Which will be first issue for 2025 year. When that happens we will be deleting the StarLight newsletter issues for 2023. And the only way to get copies from 2023 issue year will require sending an email specifying what month you want copy. That means that the issue year 2023 is deleted, StarLight issues from 2024 will into the archive section of this website. The will happen at anytime starting at the end of December to middle of January 2025. Now on to Starbase Indy 2024. With Starbase Indy, it was kinda like bad news, good news, it you get my meaning. Bad news, no one from the Brightstar was able to attend the convention let alone the Starfleet Command Fleet meeting held on the second day of the convention. This was due to injury, illness, and just unable to get a ride ( which is what happen to me). The good news is, The USS BRIGHTSTAR took home a total of six awards. Three awards from the fleet meeting and three awards from Starbase Six meeting. The meeting the Brightstar received, Retention Award, Website Of The Year 2024 2nd place, and Small Ship Of The Year 2024 1st place. Starbase Six meeting the Brightstar received, Small Ship Of The Year 2024 2nd place, Newsletter Of The Year 2024 2nd place, and Outstanding Spars for 2024. One thing I must add here is, as of December 31, 2024, Starbase Six will closing it doors. January 1, 2025, all ships in the former Starbase Six area, including ships from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois will be transferred and report to Starbase One. To see the awards the Brightstar took home from Starbase Indy 2024, go to our awards section this website.
