Winter 2024 Communications Office Update

As the various command offices of the fleet work on enhancing the BFMS, crafting the next fleet-wide campaign, or launching a new way to engage with each other, I think we can all see that Bravo Fleet is running on all thrusters. And as we get excited about what’s to come, we continue to welcome new members to the fold. Over 2024, you can expect to see the Comms Office launch several advertisements on social media and reddit to get the word out about what’s going on in Bravo Fleet. These paid ads are fueled in part by the contributions that members make freely to support the fleet financially.

You are always welcome to consider becoming a Latinum Supporter by donating to the fleet at bravofleet.com/donate. These funds not only contribute to advertise the Fleet, but also to help with server costs and infrastructure.

Here’s a taste of some of the ads coming to a social media site or subreddit near you!

Be sure you are following us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X!

Big thank you to everyone who participated in all the various competitions during our Fleet Action: We are the Borg! As it has become tradition, the comms office like to show you the submissions to the graphical comps that placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! Enjoy!

We Are the Borg: XKBF Comic

: First Place by Keith Anderson

: 2nd Place by Imya Jori

: 3rd Place by Alexandra Sudari-Kravchik

We Are the Borg: Technological Distinctiveness

: 1st Place by Keith Anderson – The yet unseen Borg pyramid. An even smaller craft than the probe, designed to carry only 10 to 15 drones, generally on localized scouting missions for specific technology or for lost technology recovery. Made from black card stock, with a cannibalized green LED tea candle inside for the green light.

: 2nd Place by Alexandra Sudari-Kravchik – Borg nanite – Lego edition!

: 3rd Place by Callen Varro – One of the initial enhancements integrated by the Borg into a newly assimilated drone involves the installation of an ocular implant. These implants vary depending on the species and the specific role assigned to the drone. The ocular implant is designed to be easily installed, with retractable barbs at its end securing it in place as nanobots establish the necessary connections.

[WATB Phase 1]: Memes are Irrelevant

: 1st Place by Keith Anderson

: 2nd Place by Cole Shepard

: 3rd Place by Iskander al-Kwaritzmi

[WATB Phase 3]: On Screen

: 1st Place by Iskander al-Kwaritzmi – What’s the opposite of a nanotube? Why, a tetratube. This Borg megastructure (tetrastructure?) is inspired by buckytubes (ehr, carbon nanotubes), but with massive Borg spheres instead of carbon atoms!

: 2nd Place by Alexandra Sudari-Kravchik – I present the Borg Torus.

: 3rd Place by Keith Anderson

CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!

Finally, the Comms office is looking for some new staff members to assist us mainly in managing our social media accounts. Thanks goes to our longest serving Staff Assistant for Social Media, Reva Sarrik! However, many hands make light work! So, we are looking for some additional staff members who can help us in the comms office.

You should see over the next month that we are trying to be active and posting on our accounts multiple times a week with varying content. So, if you’re interested in helping us create the images to post, or do help schedule and organize the posts on our various platforms, please consider applying to the Communications Office as it’s next staff member!

Click here to apply today!

In the meantime, keep your ears peeled for what’s next!
