Applicability to MFI
Maquis Forces International is a Fan Fiction Social Club established to simulate, emulate, and pretend to experience and honor the cultural and creative universe first established as the original series called Star Trek in the late 1960's, continuing to the present, and beyond into the future. As such, we continue the tradition established by that first show of representing Space Craft and their crews in a military type system of established rankings, uniforms, insignia, ship classes, logos, ranks, and many other quasi-future-military concepts.
We have utilized contemporary insignia and devices for various costume/cosplay type uses, but we ALWAYS make certain we modify such devices in a way that normal examination clearly shows these devices are NOT the same plain current military items. We never make claim to have earned such devices in today's real world. We do not seek to disrespect actual current awards and devices. Our intention is to establish probable future history evolution of current day items, military personnel, traditional squadrons [with insignias], concepts, and military equipment.
Such uses are clearly established exemptions from the Stolen Valor Act for purposes of Acting, Simulation, Roleplay, and Cosplay.
