One such away mission took place at the Japanese Garden near Lake Balboa around Van Nuys, which was featured for Starfleet Academy and headquarters in various episodes of “The Next Generation,” “Deep Space Nine” and “Voyager.”

We look forward to resuming our away missions after COVID-19 cases fall. In the meantime, members are gathering virtually during Zoom sessions on the third Saturday of each month. To become part of the adventure, click on “Join us” on this page.
