KAG is an international, not-for-profit Star Trek fan organization that focuses on the Klingons and their Empire. They explore the Klingon way of life through costuming, role-playing, prop building, language learning, and more.
These last years the IKV Rising Phoenix, the local KAG ship in Montreal, has grown. At Comiccon, on Saturday, July 15, there will be a great announcement!
To join them, create a profile on www.KAG.org, and you’ll be assigned to your local ship. For more info, send an email at montreal.klingons@gmail.com. There are no dues to join.

USS RENAISSANCE NCC-74874
The USS Renaissance NCC-74874 is a chapter within STARFLEET International Inc. The Chapter is correspondence-based, with members all over North America and as far away as the United Kingdom.
The chapter has a focus on community service through fundraising, volunteerism, and advocacy. Past events include fundraisers for animal rescue and shelters, blood donations, homelessness, and food drives.
Members participate in a variety of events, such as: virtual games & trivia, watch parties, cosplay, and conventions. There are also active chats with the crew on Facebook Messenger and Discord.
The Star Trek aspect is fan-based. The “Ship” is a Sovereign Class Starship that is primarily a Science Vessel. Some modifications were made to the ship due to the Borg invasion of the Sol Sector. The club uses STARFLEET ranks, which are fictitious, and enhance the experience. There are also specialties and Billets such as Captain, XO, Chief Operations Officer, Chief of Security, Chief Medical Officer, and more – just like in Star Trek!
Being part of STARFLEET International allows you to take courses through STARFLEET Academy leading to “degree” programs and a path to promotion. STARFLEET also offers a Medical, Marine and a Special Ops path. Even your pets are welcome in Starfleet.
The crew of the USS Renaissance is thrilled to be joining forces with the IKV Rising Phoenix at this year’s Montreal Comiccon!
