The Reporter
The (now retired) Reporter contained a lot of important information. Major group news was published in the letter, along with any major group events. The Reporter also listed all promotions that have occurred in the past month, to honor those officers who had performed well. Each month there was also a section that contains plot summaries from each vessel, so every member knew what has been happening on each active ship in the fleet. Our monthly interview spotlighted a randomly chosen character and discussed their career. Finally, the Reporter sometimes also contained any articles, stories, questions or other materials that were submitted by members.
Reporter Editors
A number of people throughout the history of UFOP have taken responsibility for the Reporter. They are as follows:
- Hollis Calley (Issues 40-41)
- Ciara Randor (Issues 37-39)
- Lang Vedoc (Issue 35)
- Kren Tekra (Issue 34)
- Leigha Jacobs (Issues 28-33)
- Shaun Marlin (Issues 21-27)
- Elinor of Kanist (Issues 1-20)
Current Status
The Reporter was retired due to the cumbersome amount of work that it required to get it online. It was often difficult to find materials to fill the issues, and a number of people were usually needed to bring it together. In lieu of the Reporter, the sleeker and slightly more spartan Tactical Data Report brought the most important information to the fleet. With the advent of the "new" website, a news area supplants the Reporter's feature articles, by allowing new articles to be posted whenever they are written -- instead of only when the Reporter was issued.
Nonetheless, you will find a great deal of information on the history of UFOP in this archive.
Archive
This section contains an online version of every Reporter back-issue, all the way back to Issue 1, which was published in June 1996. These online issues are edited slightly to remove any sensitive information (e.g.- members e-mail addresses, etc.), and to update any old format stardates with the new UFOP stardate system which was introduced in January 2000.
