PetFleet
Frequently Asked Questions

What is this program about?
The PetFleet is a way to have your best friend serve aboard ship right next to you.
Does it seem like you're getting more out of STARFLEET than your favorite pet? Do you feel like a loyal member of the family is left out of your STARFLEET career? Does the site of Spot and Porthos make you wish that you could bring your own best friend and most loyal companion along on your mission? Want no longer! Region 17 is proud to introduce the PetFleet, a chance for you and your best friend to serve side by side, explore the unknown, face perilous dangers and experience the thrills of a mission's success. Set out on a voyage of exploration where your best friend can serve along your side, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, boldly going where no other pet has gone before.
What does my pet get out of this?
Your animal companion will be assigned a unique PCC-number and a membership certificate will be issued to you. Additionally, your pet's information will appear on the Region 17 website, proclaiming to the universe that your pet is an explorer, just like you. We will start slow and try to add services as we move along.
Can I register a mascot?
Stuffed mascots are the dreams universities are made of. Yes, you may register your chapter's mascot along side your pet. No questions asked.
I see some pets have their pictures up. Does this cost extra?
Not one red cent. Simply contact Stormy and make arrangements for a picture to be sent over.
Who runs this program?
The PetFleet is administered out of Region 17 by Stormy, the Yellow-Bellied Marmot, a chapter mascot in his own right. When a call went out for program volunteers, his furry little paw was the first one up in the air.
Is this program affiliated with STARFLEET?
Not directly. The PetFleet is a pilot project by Region 17 to attempt to show that there is sufficient interest in such a program and to encourage STARFLEET to pick it up.
Does my pet or mascot (or I) have to be in Region 17 or even in STARFLEET?
Nope. We will take all comers from all regions. We're one big happy fleet. And since we're not STARFLEET funded, we will take the liberty of accepting applications from any furry friend interested in applying.
So how much does this thing cost?
The cost is $1 per pet or mascot per year. You're paying $15 a year to STARFLEET. Isn't your best friend worth a buck? There is no limit as to how many pets and/or mascots you can have registered.
And where does this money go?
Until we develop an economy of scale that allows the PetFleet to be self-funding, all the money will stay in the program. Later we will look into sending any cash overflows to an animal related charity on an annual basis.
Does PetFleet have an e-mail list?
