It’s quiet on campus. Repairs to the Athena are complete. We’re already getting busy for the new academic year. Our first year back at the Academy has certainly been interesting from an exogeography perspective - excited for the second year courses we’re developing. Watch this space! 🖖

Honest, inclusive and safe academic discourse can be cathartic in times of exogeopolitical crises like the one we are facing now. To that end, I’m hosting an open panel discussion on the current situation in UoB’s Tam Elbrun Seminar Suite tomorrow at 1800z. All are welcome - CmdrKM #StarfleetAcademy

After offloading #StarfleetAcademy officers and cadets for celebrations to commemorate the new seat of Federation government, we are aware that the Athena had to depart Betazed on an urgent matter. Cadets with concerns please speak to your Advisor, all who are kept informed by Cadet Master Thok.

What a year! Congrats, cadets for being part of history - the first year completed at #StarfleetAcademy historical grounds, San Francisco on Earth. Amazing to see so many sign ups for 2nd year exogeography courses already! No doubt things will be calmer and quieter now, so enjoy the upcoming break.

Our #StarfleetAcademy cadets are off on a break for a few days and campus will be closed. For #AllWorldsDay, they can be whisked off to a destination of their choice. If *you* could go anywhere in the galaxy in an instant for a short trip, where would you go? #StarTrek

#StarfleetAcademy. I’m owning up! My poor knowledge of ancient Earth Latin had some cadets were holding back laughter in today’s seminar. I mistakingly thought the Latin ‘cum’ meant ‘then’, but it actually means ‘with’. But believe me - there *were* real Earth village names containing it! 🤦‍♀️😅 -CmdrKM

Strange that when we’ve seen Discovery jump that we can hear this noise, despite no air in space to transmit it!

🧵(1/12) #StarfleetAcademy Bon Yoyage, cadets and colleagues aboard the Athena! Watching her set off again as I stay put in San Francisco. I hope your sortie using the abandoned-cum-training ship USS Miyazaki goes well. Will be interested if any records fall. I've put my wager on!

In the aftermath of the Dominion War, a ship built for conflict must now learn to fight for peace. From @starfleethist.bsky.social co-author of @wolf359project.bsky.social, this marks the beginning of a new TQP series. Read it for Free now! tranquility.press/uss-pershing/ #StarTrek

🧵(1/14) #StarfleetAcademy Earlier this semester, you may recall that we detected anomolus sea temperature readings just off the coast, contained within a small lagoon therein. While we never got to the bottom of the cause, a few cadets in class were concerned about the impact this heating could ...

We are partnering up with #StarfleetAcademy Explorers for a field visit to Muir Woods TOMORROW. Open invite to join the Exogeography class for the morning - come see some of the oldest and most majestic trees on Earth! Meet Cmdr Kit Marie at the transfer arches at 0600. www.nps.gov/muwo/index.htm

Cadets - if you wondered why up until now I was wearing a round tricomm badge, it's because I'm a commissioned field officer transferring to teaching staff, so I had to pass induction before I got my #StarfleetAcademy badge. Well, I'm done, and here it is! I'm now officially Academy staff! -CmdrKM

🧵(1/9) #StarfleetAcademy #Spoilers In class today, we examined a pivotal moment in Klingon spatial history: the shift from their ancestral homeworld Qo’noS to the emerging cradle of Klingon society, Faan Alpha. Grasping this transition is essential to understanding post‑Burn galactic geopolitics...

I remained Earthside at #StarfleetAcademy while Athena conducted her first academic voyage so unfortunatley I wasn't able to join in running debate club this time around. The Doctor updated me - no surprise that staff couldn't be more proud of Cadet Kraag, in particular! See you all soon -CmdrKM

🧵 (1/x) #StarfleetAcademy #Spoilers I'm deeply saddened to hear of the catastrophe of the Klingon ship carrying members of the eight remaining houses over Taurus VII. Prior to the Burn, the Klingon Empire were staunch allies of the Federation...

⚠️ IMPORTANT 🧵 (1/3) A programmable matter pod that has been pre-programmed to demonstrate volcanic activty for a class on exoplanetary tectonics has been transported out of our lab stores and replaced with a pair of underwear. We are aware of a rash of 'pranks' across campus right now, however...

In an officer debrief of the day's Betazed negotations regarding rejoining the Federation. It's obvious to us that youth voice and empowerment is going to be critical, and very pleased that Chancellor Ake wants to put cadets front and centre. I'm hopeful! - CmdrKM #StarfleetAcademy

#DidYouKnow Betazed’s Loneel Valley isn’t just a dormant caldera — it’s a geological ghost zone? 🌋 Rich in fistrium, a sensor-scattering mineral that shielded the resistance during Dominion occupation in the late 24th century. A feature that still disrupts orbital scans today. #StarfleetAcademy

A delegation from planet Betazed is heading to #StarfleetAcademy to negoitate rejoining the Federation. This is exceptionally exciting! It was a key member for centuries until The Burn, a hub of exogeopolitics, trade and strategic importance. Cadets - brush up! memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Betazed

What a week! Watching Athena decend through the clouds over the Bay, to rest on the Academy Grounds is a sight I will never forget. And then to stand in the Sato Atrium to hear Chancellor Ake's opening speech... 🥲 Well.. head's up cadets... I do wear emotions on my sleeve! - CmdrKM #StarfleetAcademy

Dear Cadets. A message from Commander Kit Marie, Course Director for #Exogeography at #StarfleetAcademy. The staff can't wait to meet you and hope Welcome Week and inductions are proceeding smoothly. Ex Astris Scientia!
