My original premise was that the Captain and some others were engaged in a diplomatic meeting, and the rest of the crew were dealing with issues while they were away.  I hadn't decided how much of the first adventure would involve the ship, and how much would involve away teams.  I was also leaning towards the ship being tasked with dealing with brushfires (and some exploration) while the bulk of the Federation is focused on the Dominion War and/or Borg.  The ship discussion lead to the idea that the ship is newer, fresh out of the shipyard, and somewhat on the shakedown flight.  So the crew is a bit more in flux.  Though that could still work with the diplomatic meeting.  They were given an easy task to start with.<br/><br/>I had planned to write up more today but fell behind, so haven't done that yet.  That said, I am certainly open to suggestions if anyone dislikes the above, has better ideas, or modifications.<br/><br/>I am new to the system as well (I think it is a new system), so it will be a learning process as we go.  So you should play a character that you think you would enjoy, and we can sort out any rule issues as we go.  That is the one benefit of forums, you have time to look stuff up.<br/><br/>If you all want to develop characters you are certainly welcome to.  I plan to post a full advertisement once I have written stuff up, but you have first claim on any specific position (other than Captain and First Officer, I will sort those out later once I de-NPC them).
