The USS Andromeda is the Tampa, Florida chapter (Region 2) of STARFLEET: The International Star Trek Fan Association, a registered 501(c)7 non-profit corporation, incorporated in the State of North Carolina. We are primarily a virtual social group with live meetups at various fandom events throughout the year. Anybody that is a Star Trek fan may join our crew and connect with your fellow Trekkies over something we all love, though we welcome all that the science fiction multiverse has to offer. Come find us on our Facebook group and/or our Discord server.

Launched under the command of Commodore Dozier and his XO, at the time Lt. Commander, Taggart in 2017 with the blessing of our support ship the USS Victorious. Since June 2021 Captain Taggart, not the one from the NSEA-Protector, is the current commander of the USS Andromeda who is working to usher in a new diverse era of inclusive local fandom focusing on social connections through a mutual love of these various shows as so much new Star Trek content is still being created from Paramount adding to the variety of storytelling tastes the franchise has to offer. Our executive officer Lieutenant General James Reed is the Second Brigade, “The Wild Deuces”, (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean) Officer-in-Charge for the STARFLEET Marine Corps.
