Lost Admiral Event:
Admiral Kiromek, one of the highest-ranking Remans in the House of Nagh’reD has gone missing. Speak to his officers and find the clues that will lead you to him as you brave the treacherous wilds of New Romulus.

Romulan/Reman Fashion Show:
Be prepared to strut your stuff beneath the 2 moons of Mol Rihan. Your characters don’t have to be Romulan or Reman but your outfits should definitely have a Romulan/Reman “vibe” to them so participating with a Romulan or Reman character may make that easier.

The 3 categories are:
Senatorial Sartorial: You don’t need a thalaron bomb to slay when you’re on the senate floor, our raiments of leadership will sweep your political opponents from the halls of power like so much dust. Make it a formal, chic and professional look fit for conducting high-level negotiations, a look with presence… and make it IMPRESSIVE!

Sundown-Fun-Up!: The Remans aren’t necessarily Nocturnal, they just lived for generations in perpetual darkness. They love to come out of their shadowy quarter after sundown, making the New Romulus nightlife an active one, which their Romulan cousins don’t seem to mind. Show us a fun after-hours off-duty look that pays homage to the Remans shadowy nature.

For The Republic: The Romulan Republic has been instrumental in repairing relations between the superpowers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants and supporting efforts in the Delta Quadrant as well. Allies such as these deserve a lot of appreciation and to know that we’re ready to fight for them just as much as they have for us. Show us a combat-ready uniform or armor that shows off Romulan Republic Pride!

STO was my very first online game. I bought the disc(!) months before I actually had internet access, so it was a lot of imagining and daydreaming about what the game would be like. I had heard that gaming environments could be very homophobic, and I didn't want to invite that into my life, so I looked around online (in the library lab) for an LGBTQ+ guild and found Stonewall. I've had such good times with everyone, and everyone has been so patient and kind to me.

Y'hhau my fellow pointy ears! I shall be there!

Why did you want to/join Stonewall Fleet? What brought you to our lovely, glitter covered doorway?
Back then I had a very negative self image and was under the illusion that becoming trans would solve all my problems. This of course is not true and eventually I came to realize that, so I did not go through with it (although I still think some female clothing are a lot more awesome than some male clothing).
This was however in the same time as when I had just started playing STO and when I wanted to join a fleet, I sought one where I would not be an outsider. So I searched for LGBT fleets and found multiple LGBT fleets. Stonewall was the one that I had the best feelings about and so I joined. After the aforementioned part of the struggle with my self image was over, I was already an active member of the fleet and had a lot of fun here, not to mention that as a white, straight, non-trans male I was still not treated as an outsider, and so I stayed.

What value have you found in our membership?
Friendship, people to have fun with, teachers in the game mechanics (and in turn, being a teacher). Basically everything a fleet should be, imo.

I wanted to be able to talk about the game, the universe and all things StarTrek with other fans, ideally with people where unlike most of my world outside the net I don't need to run everything I  say/do through a 'straight-cis-female' filter. That is not what I am.
What I am, is a huge big fan of everything Romulan, so when I saw "Stonewall Legion"  - LGBTQ and my favourite StarTrek aliens -  I had to find out more, and then ran to the nearest recruitment office to get some glitter on that D'Deridex.

So far, I can definitely say I love the freedom to express myself I have here, and I continue to be amazed at how kind and friendly people usually are! And I love that it's not only about DPS but about creative things like the screenshot contest and the fashion shows, and getting together socially. 
I joined shortly before the Xmas event, and had a ton of fun during that, and while fighting assimilated snowmen in the Winter Wonderland, or dancing on top of Q's ice bar. Stonewall has the best parties! I even took part in a race, something I usually avoid like the plague, and - when I finally found the Finish sign, a kind fleetie had waited for me!! That was when I decided I'd stay.

I'm still wary of doing any 'real' missions because I have perception/orientation issues which mean I will just not be a very effective team member. (And because fingers-on-keyboard-coordination sometimes leaves to be desired, I might seem to not answer you in chat, or not "see" you in-game. I'm not being rude, but I can be slow to type!)

A good excuse to play romulan again, I'll be there!
