USS 
To all crewmembers: There are plenty of ways to help the Typhon. Real life comes first, so take on what suits your time and interests. If you need a hand or want to change your role, speak with your Chief.
Core responsibilities
General duties
- Keep your roster profile current. Please make every reasonable effort to log in to the ship's roster/database. Update your character profile, crew photo, awards and other relevant details. Ask your Chief for help if you have trouble getting in.
- Work with your Chief and Command Staff. Agree on the tasks you can help with. Let someone know if your plans change.
- Join in when you can. Come along to chapter meetings, conventions and other events when your schedule allows.
- Help with chapter projects. If you enjoy making things, help build props, costumes or displays.
- Share what you have done. Tell your Chief about activities and achievements so your contributions are recorded and can be recognised.
- Know the uniform arrangements. Our usual look is the Picard Season 2/3 flap-style uniform. It is required for Typhon crew attending Sydney Oz Comic Con on Saturday. On Sunday, you can wear a costume from any Star Trek era. At other events we encourage the flap uniform, but we are happy to have you along in other Trek costumes.
- Represent the Typhon well. Treat people with respect online and in person.
- Help at events. Lend a hand with setup, the display or pack-down if you are able.
- Welcome new crewmembers. Introduce yourself and help them settle in.
- Share ideas. Tell your Chief or Command Staff what you would like the chapter to try.
