The USS Animus is Canberra's Star Trek fan association and the capital's meeting chapter of STARFLEET International's 11th Fleet. Founded on Stardate 70134.4 (1 September 2016), we serve fans across the ACT and Southern New South Wales, from Wollongong to the Victorian border and as far west as Wagga Wagga.

We are a crew of fans, players, makers and storytellers. We attend conventions across the region, build props, play games, write fiction and maintain a living narrative aboard the Animus. Our crew wear a mix of Nemesis and Picard Season 3 uniforms, reflecting a chapter that has grown alongside the franchise itself.

Because our crew is spread across a wide area, much of our activity happens online through weekly gaming sessions and community events, with monthly in-person meet-ups and regular convention appearances at events like Oz Comic-Con and GammaCon.

Whether you are a lifelong fan or just discovering the Final Frontier, there is a place for you aboard the Animus. Find us as @ussanimus across social media, or head to our Join page to come aboard.

The Animus is a meeting chapter of Starfleet: the International Star Trek Fan Association Inc, apart of the 11th Fleet, along with our sister ship USS Typhon in Sydney we comprise the NSW Task Force of the larger Australia/New Zealand Fleet to provide an enriching Star Trek Experience.
