Stage
9 Studios Fan Appreciation Weekend
Friday-Sunday, October 19-21, 2018
Stage 9 Studios
516 W William Ave, Kingsland GA 31548 |
Stage
9 Studios is the former home of Starship Farragut
and Star Trek Continues and the new home of Starship
Republic, Dreadnought Dominion and other Star
Trek fan series. The USS Republic took
"away teams" to three previous Farragut Fests, in
December
2012, December
2013 and December
2014. Star Trek Continues did not
host any open houses of these studios during the production
of their series. After Star Trek Continues
wrapped their series, the sets were sold to Ray Tesi, executive
producer of Starship Republic. This year's
Fan Appreciation Weekend is the first time the sets have been
opened to the public almost four years. |

SphinxCon
& AxaCon
Friday-Sunday, November 2-4, 2018
Crowne Plaza Atlanta-Airport

The
Royal Manticoran Navy (TRMN) is the fan association for the
Honor Harrington series written by David Weber and SphinxCon
is the newest literary military science fiction and fantasy
convention ("litcon") dedicated to the Honorverse.
Leveraging the experience of sponsoring and running
HonorCon in Raleigh, North Carolina, and MantiCon in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, a group of TRMN members thought to continue the
tradition in Atlanta. Being the home of Dragon*Con and
a plethora of other conventions throughout the year, as well
as being a major airline hub, it was felt that the concept
could be taken to the next level. This is the very
first SphinxCon!
But...
Where's the Trek?
Here it is! The relocation of Axanar Productions,
which created the award-winning Star Trek fan film
"Prelude to Axanar," to OWC Studios in Lawrenceville
(northeast of Atlanta), gave us an opportunity to host AxaCon,
the official convention of Axanar, for all fans of Star
Trek and the Axanar universe. Creators and actors
from "Prelude to Axanar" will preview the upcoming
two parts of “The Four Years War” as well as fill you in on
every detail of the Axanar Universe you could ever want to
know!
SphinxCon guest of honor David Gerrold (author, "The
Trouble with Tribbles" and much more) joins AxaCon guests
of honor J. G. Hertzler (Martok from Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine), Gary Graham (Ambassador Soval
from Star Trek: Enterprise) and a slate of Axanar and
other Star Trek fan film actors and creators. More
information about guests, programming, special events and
admission prices can be found on the AxaCon
page of the SphinxCon web site. |

ABOUT
THE REPUBLIC |
The
USS Republic NCC-1371 was originally commissioned
as a chapter of STARFLEET International on May 14, 1988,
at the Dixie-Trek convention in Atlanta, Georgia. As
of October 16, 2018, the Republic crew includes 35
members who are active members of STARFLEET in good
standing.
|
The
Republic plans and coordinates an active schedule
of events for its members, but does not hold meetings
on a consistently fixed date each month.
|
Because
the USS Republic is a duly commissioned chapter
of STARFLEET International and is bound and governed by
its Constitution and By-Laws, membership in STARFLEET
is a prerequisite for membership in the Republic. STARFLEET
membership dues are $5 for one person and Republic
chapter dues are $10 ($15 total). The Republic
collects a single combined dues payment for both groups
and remits the STARFLEET portion to them on the Republic
member's behalf. STARFLEET offers family discounts
for additional members as shown below. Additional
information about membership options, amounts due for
additional family members, payment options and instructions
for other forms of payment is on the "How to Join" page
of our award-winning web site.
