The USS Animus is a Star Trek/Sci-Fi Fan club based in Southern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory from our home base in Goulburn NSW.

We participate in a wide range of activities from all kinds of popular culture including cosplay, RPG/TTRPG, Creative Writing, Prop Building, Video Games, MMORPG’s and Social Gatherings. Our interests extend beyond Star Trek to include other fandoms from fantasy, TV and movies.

We have regular meetings, events, outings and we enjoy attending conventions, and events around Southern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, both outside and within the Star Trek genre. The crew get together and learn to build props both large and small.


The Animus is a meeting chapter of Starfleet: the International Star Trek Fan Association Inc, apart of the 11th Fleet, along with our sister ‘ships’ USS Tydirium in Sydney, and USS Orion Star in Newcastle. We comprise the NSW Task Force of the larger Australia/New Zealand Fleet to provide an encriching Star Trek Experience.

The USS Animus was founded on Stardate 70134.4 (1 September 2016).

About Us

Who are we?

We are a Star Trek/Science Fiction Fan Club based in Canberra and the NSW Southern Tablelands. Our sphere of influence stretches from Bowral in the North, Wagga Wagga in the west and the New South Wales/Victorian border in the South.

What do we do?

We enjoy meeting up every month or so at various events like Oz Comic-Con, GammaCon, Goulburn Comic-Con and visiting out to the Canberra Deep Space Communications Centre. We also enjoy building props, and hanging out. We also do a lot of events with our Parent Chapter, The Tydirium in the upper New South Wales area.

We are also developing our own narrative through experiences in Star Trek Online, text based Role-play and fan-fiction writing.
