The USS Chesapeake Science-Fiction Club is a non-aligned (not part of a larger fan organization) Star Trek and science-fiction club in the greater Washington, D.C., area. Originally organized in February 1991 as part of the International Federation of Trekkers, the club went independent in February 1992.

Comstar[edit]

March 1992 saw the first publication of the "Comstar", the monthly newsletter of the USS Chesapeake. The newsletter contains several recurring articles by members/writers such as Lorenzo Heard, Wayne Hall and Randy Hall. Wayne and Randy's writings may also be seen on the scifipulse.net website. In 2003 the newsletter went electronic as it was now published in PDF format in order to meet the growing request for copies.

Conventions[edit]

Since 1993 the club has been an active participant in multiple, local science-fiction clubs and conventions, most notably Shore-Leave and Farpoint.

In 2009 Farpoint Convention presented the club with the Volker-McChesney Award, in recognition of many years of dedication to the local science-fiction community and charity.
