REMCS just had NorthSTAR decline a job on JEMSTAR North in Perth Amboy for weather, and is now attempting to raise CentralSTAR. Guess the old SouthSTAR assignments got revived for the central state?

They never said central star........ they said JEFFSTAT there is no such thing and there never will be. The old “south star “ is used for searches and to transport the governor.

I undoubtedly heard "CenterStar" during that dispatch yesterday. CONFIRMED
I also have heard SouthStar dispatched to numerous medical evacs as recent as weeks ago.
EDIT: I cant confirm it was actually SouthStar, just medevac ops on that talkgroup.

It was either CenterSTAR or CentralSTAR. It was heard by numerous parties across the state. Also, the assignment was in Perth Amboy. JeffSTAT-1 by protocol will not be offered a job that far north unless NorthSTAR, Atlantic Air-1, Hackensack-1, and Cooper-1 have declined in that order, availability depending.
I would, again, imagine that the old SouthSTAR assignments (we're talking about medical crew) were revived for this.

I have to say, I monitor REMCS on an almost constant basis <awake time>. I do not remember hearing either centerstar. or southstar.
I do remember the recording from last night. I thought they called pennstar, and was wondering why they would. This leave's us to speculate.

It happened, the recording is proof. Must have been a change that happened just this week.

Agreed, CENTERStar
just curious, what frequency or system and talkgroup did you hear this on ?
NJSP TII system
TG26832 JEMSTAR N Medevac Operations - North Jersey
TG26832 JEMSTAR N Medevac Operations - North Jersey
Extra bird up for the gubernatorial inauguration, perhaps?
If they were detailed however, it's unlikely they would have been on the board for a Go Request. And it's not like SouthSTAR would need medical coverage since they're not flying medical anymore.
In this state it wouldn't surprise me if they did it without telling anyone but REMCS and the crew they scheduled to work it. Heh.

Just my 2 cent's. If it was for the election, I don't think it would have received a "star" designation, unless performing a medical mission. I believe if it was law enforcement =, it would be operating off of division call, and/or general aviation. .

i seriously cant believe this is still a thing. The state hasn't hired any new flight medics or nurses. There is no new medevac CentralSTAR. SouthSTAR has not run medical calls in years. This speculation crap is too much.
The state has done nothing but make budget cuts and drop services what would change that all of a sudden? Did they hire Nicholas Cage and he discovered a hidden treasure somewhere? The state didnt go out and spend millions secretly on a new helicopter or even a used one to add to its fleet. If the state was planning on a new medevac we would've 100% heard something by now. Until anything is official stop speculating!

It's not speculation, REMCS dispatched CenterSTAR for a medevac on Tuesday.

It is speculation as too what that designates............ They may have said CenterSTAR but there is no such medevac and it was not made clear as to what would be designated as such on the radio. So again its all speculation.
Mystery solved. Thanks Castor for your kind and informed answer.
Looks like there was for at least one night. See CastorLB's post above. And no need to be uncivil sir as it was merely a discussion of an anomalous callsign.
