 could unite.  But rather than form an isolated club, Stewart chose to start a chapter of [http://www.sfi.org Starfleet], an organized alliance of Trek fan organizations from all over the world.
-Every new chapter in Starfleet must start out as a "shuttlecraft" under the nine month tutelage of an established club.  Sponsored by the USS ''Guardian'' in Cocoa, FL, Stewart's Shuttle ''Heritage'', NCC 26244/1, was officially launched on June 27, 1991. The club's name was taken from the spine of a book in Stewart's bookcase which she happened to glance while completing the Starfleet paperwork to start the chapter.

 Seeing the benefits it would bring a new and struggling club, Stewart also established the ''Heritage'' as a student organization of FSU.  This provided the club with regular on-campus meeting space, free advertising on campus media and a token budget.  But being a student organization also added additional obstacles.

 ===A Brief Change of Scenery===
-After commanding the ''Khai Tam'' for nearly five consecutive years, the Reddick command team was feeling the weight of command, and the pressure from everyday life.  They opted in 1995 to step down as CO and XO to allow a new team to infuse the organization with fresh ideas.  In 1996 [[Laurie Long]] and [[Kevin McNulty]] took the reigns as CO and XO respectively.  The Long command team revisted many aspects of the club from its motto (which the members voted to keep) to its forms and administrative practices.
+After commanding the ''Khai Tam'' for nearly five consecutive years, the Reddick command team was feeling the weight of command, and the pressure from everyday life.  Specifically, Jon had the opportunity for a promotion at his job that would require him to work weekday evenings.  They opted in 1995 to step down as CO and XO to allow a new team to infuse the organization with fresh ideas.  In 1996 [[Laurie Long]] and [[Kevin McNulty]] took the reigns as CO and XO respectively.  The Long command team revisted many aspects of the club from its motto (which the members voted to keep) to its forms and administrative practices.
 The year of their command was marked with many changes, yet at its core the ship remained a labor of love for all.  The new command team was as relieved as anyone, though, to turn command back over to a rested and rejuvinated Reddick team in 1997.  The Reddicks would go on to guide the club for seven more years unopposed, finally turning command over to [[Richard Graham]] in 2005.
