( K. I. E. ) IS A NON-PROFIT STAR TREK FAN ORGANIZATION. THERE ARE NO INTERNATIONAL DUES BUT CHAPTERS MAY CHARGE LOCAL DUES. OUR GROWTH IS BASED ON COMMUNICATION AND COOPERATION BETWEEN CHAPTERS. KLINGON UNIFORMS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ADVANCE WITH IN OUR RANKS. PROMOTIONS ARE BASED SOLELY ON MERIT AND LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT.

K.I.E. HAS FLEETS AND SQUADRONS, ALL BUILT FROM MEMBERS WORKING TOGETHER TO FORM INDIVIDUAL WARSHIPS. K.I.E. SHIPS TAKE ON PROJECTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO GIVE BACK SOMETHING TO THE CITY OR COUNTY THEY LIVE IN. K.I.E. ALSO WORKS WITH LOCAL CLUBS IN DOING FUND RAISERS, VOLUNTEER WORK WITH NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER CHARITABLE EVENTS. BESIDES DOING ALL THIS WORK, WE AS WARRIORS DO KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. WE HAVE BAR-B-QUES, CONVENTION TRIPS, CAMP OUTS, ROLE PLAYING NIGHTS, AND VARIOUS OTHER SOCIAL EVENTS. K.I.E. IS OPEN TO ALL WALKS OF LIFE. WE ARE ALSO ALLIED WITH IMPERIAL KLINGON EXPEDITIONARY FORCES.

WE EXCLUDE NO ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
