Greetings batlh SuvwI'!
Members, honored guests, Diplomatic contacts, and friends of the IKF.
A short time ago we finalized a rather large change to how IKF operates.
Being as we have a few International chapters, and are growing, we saw a need to change our structure.
In an ongoing effort to go back to our roots for our 20th year of operation, and portray the Klingon Empire as best as possible, while immersing ourselves further into our culture we decided to split the globe into 3 sectors.
Archanis Sector: Asia and Australia
Qo'noS Sector: North, Central, and South America, and Greenland
and Mempa Sector: Europe, the Middle East, and Africa
The "funky" names we used to call sectors are now fleets, and re-named to better represent what we know of the Klingon Culture. The names are basically the tlhIngan Hol words for First Fleet, Second Fleet, etc...
This will be easier for EVERYONE to remember. Myself included (and I came up with the names for the old system).
Along with this change is our return towards a "living history" type of organization more like the SCA or a re-enactment group.
You will soon see more demonstrations and events that have a cultural feel to them, as well as our own rituals and traditions we have participated in the past 20 years of service in fandom.
We encourage ALL of our members, guests, diplomats, and friends to join us and take part in these diverse celebrations and cultural exchanges!
And with that we are now announcing that the NEW and UPDATED website is ON-LINE
