56 Clubs and Periodicals (rec.arts.startrek.tech reading list)
The last purely "tech" clubs I had listed (the Galactic Engineers'
Concordance) is now defunct. Many lower-key clubs have sprung up
around websites (most named "Utopia Planitia" or "ASDB" it seems) now
that it's easier to collaborate online. If you want to be listed here
(whether you're a physical or virtual club) please send me a blurb.
Since May 1999 there's been an official "Star Trek: The Magazine"
available in North America. As a Technical Briefings section in each
issue it reprints information from "The Star Trek Fact Files", an
Australian/British publication that's been around for several years.
The creators of the magazine have access to the people working on the
show, so the magazine is considered a reasonably good source of
"behind the scenes" information - although there are usually as many
different answers to questions treknological as there are people on
the show to ask. The magazine also has a reputation (on the newsgroup)
for propagating incorrect information (e.g. errors in the
Encyclopedia) without verifying its accuracy. At the very least, it
has gorgeous (and mostly accurate) renderings of some of the ships -
sometimes, background ships barely glimpsed on screen. Subscription
and ordering information is available at their web site:
