The ball is held twice a year and highlights members accomplishments through a variety of award and ranked promotions.
The theme for this summers ball was klingon, to publicise the event in world Jd Matova from the communications division supplied an advertising display unit and Jen Johnson (Jailan Resident) built and scripted an countdown board which showed how long in days, minutes and second before the ball, what was really cool was the feature that not only showed the presented this in english but every few second displayed the countdown in klingon.
social events division set about organising the event, Richmerk Resident and his team of ..... created an elaborate klingon set with huge statues, red carpets and klingon inspired furniture for seating and stage. The senior fleet admirals Katrina Bixby and Cobramax Mechanique had chairs placed at each side of the raised stage where they could oversee the crowd below. In the middle of the stage was podium for announcements and speeches, either side stands for those who were coming up to receive their awards to wait for their names to be called.
The event started with snapper desade standing at the podium welcoming members to the ball in full klingon regalia. Over the land audio stream a recording made by cobra and Katrina played where they talked about the klingon race, the recording can be heard below

The wall came back down and Admiral Cobramax Mechanique stood at the stage podium and called out the names of those who receiving awards and promotions to come up in alphabetical order in groups of about 10 at a time to say a few words and thank people for the recognition. Around 60 members were recognised for the activities in the group and at its peak there were 52 people present at the event.
As the last person stepped down to receive their recognition, roleplay mission commander (those who run rps in the group) came on the stage one at a time to recognise those people who had attended the many rps which are held at the GFC over the last 6 months.
Cobramax close the ball by thanking the members and as with tradition attendees spend the next few hows dancing the night away.
It has to be one of the most memorable balls ever, from the gorgeous set, rp and klingon dance. Congratulations for those who contributed to the creation of the event, those who attending and those who won awards and promotion.
