The USS Columbus is the Central Ohio/Greater Columbus Chapter of Starfleet International. Members and friends participate in a number of activities throughout the year, ranging from picnics, holiday parties, and movie openings. The USS Columbus also participates in several Central Ohio organizations such as Operation Feed, United Way, and Toys for Tots.

While the USS Columbus is a chapter of Starfleet International, membership in Starfleet is not required. Membership is $15 per year for single membership, and $25 per year for a family membership with 2 or more members in your household. Your membership includes a handbook, and 12 issues of the Prime Directive newsletter.

We meet at the Karl Road Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, every 3rd Sunday of each month at 5:00 pm.

Occasionally, activities may force us to change our meeting place or time, but we will do our best to notify our members in advance of these changes. Ship meetings usually last an hour at least, after which we usually have dinner or go to Starbase Columbus.
