all, fiercely loyal. These individuals possess an uncanny ability to
adapt, overcome obstacles, and improvise when faced with the unknown.
Their unwavering dedication to life itself and their tenacious ten
pursuit of finding new paths fuels their desire to create a better
world.
Our guiding motto, "Ad audacter qua montani semper
liberi," beckons you to join boldly our ranks. Explore uncharted realms
of knowledge, forge deep connections with fellow enthusiasts, and

Just as Starfleet
adheres to the sacred Prime Directive, we wholeheartedly embrace this
principle. We understand that interfering in the natural evolution of
any society is forbidden, safeguarding the sanctity of individual
cultures. Our Mountaineers recognize that judgment has no place in our
collective consciousness—acceptance, and inclusion form the bedrock upon
which our core values stand. We cherish the remarkable strength derived
from our diversity and celebrate it within our all-encompassing
community.
In the hallowed tradition set by visionary Gene
Roddenberry, we unite to build a world that epitomizes acceptance,
equality, and unity. Our unwavering pursuit of excellence pays tribute
to his profound legacy.
We invite you, fellow dreamer and
adventurer, to ascend the ranks of our Mountaineer family—a place where
freedom of the mind knows no boundaries. Allow the words of James Kirk
to resonate within you: "‘All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer
her by.’ You could feel the wind on your back in those days. The sounds
of the sea beneath you, and even if you take away the wind and the water
it’s still the same. The ship is yours. You can feel her. And the stars
are still there."
Prepare to embark on an odyssey of exploration,
camaraderie, and infinite possibilities. Join us, and let your spirit
soar among the stars. "We are here today to re-christen the USS
Enterprise and to honor those who lost their lives nearly one year ago.
When Christopher Pike first gave me his ship, he had me recite the
Captain’s Oath. Words I didn’t appreciate at the time. Now I see them as
a call for us to remember who we once were and who we must be again. And
those words? Space... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the
Starship Enterprise, her five-year mission to explore strange new
worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where
no one has gone before.” - James T. Kirk
