*ATTENTION ALL HANDS *
Today is a great day. Today we commission into our ranks, the Starship USS Mae Jemison, NCC-97007. She is an Odyssey Class starship. This Chapter is based in National Harbor, Maryland, Earth, Sol Sector and is under the command of RADM Dean Rogers.

RADM Rogers, you are hereby cleared to begin deployed chapter operations in your assigned patrol area, with CAPT Christian Savage as your Executive Officer after reporting in to ADM Bob Vosseller at Region 7 Headquarters.

If anyone is interested in joining their adventure, contact RADM Rogers at https://www.ussmaejemison.org/. Commissioning a new chapter is the greatest joy that I have as STARFLEET Chief of Shakedown Operations. I wish you fair winds and following seas.

In Service,
VADM Steven Bowers
SFI SHOC
