Some Publishing History and This Zine's Association with Berengaria
In answer to the probably questions regarding the disappearance of an old fanzine and the rise of [Berengaria], this communique has been prepared. It is also intended to clarify a situation which has recently become overwhelmingly confusing. 'Berengaria' was originally planned to replace "The Nebulus", the publication of the Star Trek Science Club Leminicus. Due to a multitude of reasons, including lack of time, finances, and experience, 'The Nebulus' ceased publication with issue #2/3. An agreement was made this year which established 'Berengaria' as the new S.T.S.C.L. magazine. Flyers advertising 'Berengaria' were printed and circulated to interested parties. Additional preparations were made to accommodate the change of publication. In May of this year, a rift developed between members of the governing body of the S.T.S.C.L. and, to be truthful, there's been nothing but mounting confusion since. The president [of the club] resigned, The Quei-Starmerian Network dissociated from the STSC Leminicus, and consequently, the original 'Berengaria' arrangements were nullified. 'Berengaria' is now published by the Quei-Starmerian Network...[1][2]
