I am GloomCookie, the Game Mistress for this particular adventure. I look forward to everyone having a good time and enjoying themselves, and encourage anyone and everyone to ask questions, discuss the current mission, and just generally have a good time.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>1.1 Basic Ship Information</strong></span><br/>Starfleet resources were stretched thin during the Dominion War, which lasted from 2373 until 2375. The Intrepid class spaceframes under construction at the Utopia Planetia shipyards were not yet ready in their current forms, most having only their saucer sections completed. This resulted in the hastily built Yeager class, using the available Intrepid class saucers on more utilitarian spaceframes. Termed one of the ugliest birds in the fleet, the Yeager still served with distinction, proving to Starfleet that the Intrepid spaceframe was reliable and rugged. Following the war, most of the Yeager class were returned to Mars to have their temporary Yeager spaceframes upgraded fully to the Intrepid class, which was why so many entered the fleet all at once. USS Victoria, hull number 74963, was commissioned on 24 July 2376.<br/><br/>Full workup of the Intrepid project can be found here: Technical Specifications - Intrepid Class Starship (http://techspecs.acalltoduty.com/intrepid.html)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">1.2 Rules</span></strong><br/>The following rules are binding to all, and are meant to help guide interactions both between players and between you and me. They are not meant to supersede or change any of the standard Elliquiy rules, just to make sure that everyone's on the same page when playing the game. They are in no particular order so each one is more or less equal.<br/><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>Keep editing to a minimum. If you must edit a post for clarity or because you made a mistake, cross out the original wording and put the new text in red. This will allow anyone to come along later and figure out that changes were made.</li><li>Be respectful out of character. Your character and that of someone else might get into heated arguments and possibly even come to blows, but that is strictly in character. Out of character, I want to see respect at the very least. You don't need to like or love your fellow players, but you will respect each other or you'll be removed from the game.</li><li>Do not nitpick changes to the canon. This timeline starts after the Dominion War, which means it'll feature content from the Original Series, the Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine. I have not seen Enterprise and Voyager has not returned from the Delta quadrant, and the JJ Abrams universe is an alternate dimension entirely. Even so, while I know a lot about Star Trek, I will make mistakes and so will other players. Nitpicking someone and lecturing them on events does no one any good and only serves to agitate other players. If it's a serious mistake then I will review and may point it out, but don't follow everyone else's posts with a "Well Akshually..."</li><li>I will generate character sheets for Star Trek Adventures based on the characters as presented. These characters will remain behind the scenes and only serve to see if you pass or fail at a given task. You will not be penalized for taking the initiative or for attempting something difficult. You will, however, be punished for doing something non-sensical for the scene. For example, in the middle of a fire fight, standing up and pointing and laughing at a Klingon because he hasn't hit you yet will likely end with you taking a disruptor to the chest and dying horribly over the most agonizing 3 seconds of what remains of your life.</li><li>Character death can happen, but only after all other options are exhausted. I don't like killing off characters because of bad dice rolls, and so while you may take injuries and such, you will not be immediately killed just because. For example, say you are blown out into the vacuum of space. You can survive, albeit painfully, for up to two minutes. During that time, it may be possible to beam you back aboard, though you'll need to go immediately to sickbay because you'll be bleeding from every soft tissue and have burst blood vessels throughout your body.</li><li>Excessive drama will not fly. Everyone loves a bit of drama but there are times and places for it. Trying to inject angst and drama into every post will have your character wind up in lots of bad situations and quickly removed from the game in one fashion or another.</li><li>Three strikes and you're out. I allow people to make mistakes, because we're all human. However, if you continue to disrupt the game and do not listen, you'll be gone. I suffer not fools.</li><li>No godmodding or metagaming. As I mentioned, there will be dice rolls to determine if difficult tasks succeed or fail. Attempting to use metagame knowledge or simply succeed without effort, then you're effectively cheating and that's not fair to everyone else. You are not special, you are not a god, you are a character with flaws and traits just like everyone else.</li></ul><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>1.3 Approved Character Sheets</strong></span><br/><strong>Commanding Officer:</strong>Captain Melida Briggs played by Aethyrium<br/><strong>Executive Officer:</strong>H'Raal played by ReijiTabibito<br/><strong>Chief Science Officer:</strong>Nissillia Nelan played by keyotess<br/><strong>Chief Medical Officer:</strong>Rasa Kes played by Kuroneko<br/><strong>Chief Tactical Officer:</strong><br/><strong>Chief Helmsman (Conn):</strong><br/><strong>Chief Engineer:</strong>Emerald "Emry" Blair played by Kadigan<br/><strong>Chief of Security:</strong>Anatole Kir-je played by Captain Whitebread<br/><strong>Chief of Operations:</strong>Lahe'la "Lala" Andis played by Crash<br/><br/><strong>Additional Crew:</strong><br/>C'tara played by Elven Sex Goddess<br/>Winn Antos played by Armphid<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>2.0 Mission Information</strong></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>2.1 Sector 291-02</strong></span><br/>Sector 291-02 was originally scouted via long-range probe in 2365, charting numerous worlds that were potentially suitable for colonization and possible first contact.
