Star Trek: Communicator was the main publication of the Official Star Trek Fan Club. An evolution from Star Trek: The Official Fan Club Magazine, Communicator was a bimonthly magazine, and began releasing with issue 100 - continuing the issue numbering from its predecessor.
In 9 February 2001, Decipher purchased the assets of FANtastic Media, including the Fan Club, and continued publication of Communicator. In 2005, the company announced the cancellation of the magazine after issue 155, due to numerous complaints about publication delays as well as threats of lawsuits. Attempts to revive the publication by creator/club founder Dan Madsen and managing editor Larry Nemecek have, to date, been unsuccessful.
