The Dominion War is over, many ships are still in dry docks across federation space undergoing repairs and refits. A few new ships have just been completed and now with no war they are being re-purposed to diplomatic, scientific and exploration vessels. The USS Cutlass is being sent to explore the inner Alpha Quadrant and make first contact with any new warp capable species that they find along the way.

In order to avoid entering the territory of the warlike Breen who had allied with the Dominion during the war the USS Cutlass has been ordered to make way towards the center of the galaxy for about 200 light years before heading towards Denab.



The Ship - USS Cutlass

  • USS Cutlass NCC 80567
  • Akira Class using these specs - http://techspecs.acalltoduty.com/akira.html - built at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yard, Mars.
  • Originally built for the war effort, not completed until after the end of the war.
  • Re-purposed for exploration.


The Crew

Each player will have two characters, on from the following list, and one minor character. The major characters are of the rank listed but the minor characters can be any rank you want from Crewman to Master Chief Petty Officer, and i will allow one Ensign (two including mine), I don't want fighting over the Ensign position so it will only be available to the players who choose a major character with rank of Lieutenant, since they have the least Bridge time (well, except the counselor) and the Ensigns are the only minors who have Bridge clearance (unless specific authorization is given by the CO or XO)

Major Character List
  • First Officer - Commander
  • Chief Security Officer (Second Officer) - Lieutenant commander
  • Chief Engineer - Lieutenant
  • Chief Medical Officer - Dr, Commander - RumikoOhara
  • Chief Science Officer - Lieutenant
  • Senior Flight Controller - Lieutenant Junior Grade
  • Counselor - Dr, Lieutenant - LadyKnight4
  • Chief Operations (Ops) Officer - Lieutenant Junior Grade


I will add usernames beside the positions when the CS is submitted and accepted, and will add a list of minors when they are submitted and accepted also.



As always, if I have missed anything please let me know and feel free to ask any questions, and most of all, i hope you all have fun.

Ooh, haven't done a Star Trek RP before.Mind if I try out for the CMO? :oOh, I missed the post claiming the CMO. Hold on, I'll grab another!Okay, I'm up for grabbing duh CSO! :D Also, shouldn't the CSO also have the Dr. title? I assume someone serving as the Chief of anything scientifically related should have a Ph.D or equivalent. :o


Spock never had a PhD :P

I'd like to suggest that secondary Characters be NonComsSo seldom do you see the noncoms played as characters when in fact like most naval vessels they make up two thirds or more of the crewChief O'Brian was the only one represented in the TNG an DS9


Yeah well I'm allowing ensigns but i would like some of you to be NCOs

Ok so im starting work on the OOC now. All claims will be on a first come first served basis, so if you want a part then post your character sheet for it ASAP. The OOC will have a CS template so please stick to it. I'm glad none of you have posted characters here using your own CS templates (yes that has happened to me before).

P.S. - anyone else notice that quotes are a bit messed up?
Remember, I would like everyone to have 2 characters, one major and one minor.

I'm going to make up the OOC tomorrow afternoon (GMT). Six players and twelve characters will be enough I think.

I will be Captain. The other major positions are (with ranks) in no particular order:

  • First Officer - Commander
  • Chief Security Officer (Second Officer) - Lieutenant commander
  • Chief Engineer - Lieutenant
  • Chief Medical Officer - Dr, Commander
  • Chief Science Officer - Lieutenant
  • Senior Flight Controller - Lieutenant Junior Grade
  • Counselor - Dr, Lieutenant
  • Chief Operations (Ops) Officer - Lieutenant Junior Grade


some of these will be NPCs , but its better if you guys get some freedom of choice in the matter. Oh and if you think there is a position that should be on the list, that isn't, let me know, its late and I'm tired :P
The Captain, First Officer and Second Officer will each be in command for one of the 3 duty shifts.

And as i think I said in the OP, the highest rank your secondary character can have is Ensign, but I hope you are not all going to go for the highest rank you can.
Sid Meaer's Alpha Centauri is an awesome game... im interested, but i may not have time. i'll know when you post the OOC and i'll not post a character if i wont be able to play. If i post, i'll play :D

good to have you

LadyKnight4 said
I'd be interested! I don't have as much knowledge of specific canon as I'd like although I've watched at least parts of every series, so any tweaking is fine with me as well as long as it's within reason.


welcome

A true believer here and lover of all things TrekNo Worries on continuity here as long as we don't stray into Jedi territoryOh an I know it's jumping the gun a bit but I'd love to stake claim to the CMO position


Im sure that will be ok, good to have you.

thats 5 interests now... a few more and we can get going
Rhymer said
I'm still in.. To be honest I didn't really get into DS9 so canon on the Dominion War is not that important to me. As long as we have the general feel of the series I'll be happy.


you should be happy then, good to have you... thats 2
Lost Cause said
You're thinking of the -class. Since I don't see how or relate to swords.But yeah, interest.


The Sword thing isnt canon, sorry, I was going with the ships from that RP I got that spec sheet from, its Akiras are named for swords. I had the spec and memory alpha open at the same time and got mixed up. We can change it, but it wont make much difference.

good to have you on board
A more detailed Interest Check is now here in Casual

http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/50487/posts/ooc

please put your name down over there so i can keep track of numbers
OOC = http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/50911/posts/ic

This was the General Interest Check.

g-octavi said Hey guys. I tried to start this RP a while ago but then i was ill. I'm better now so lets see if i can get it going.

I want to get a crew together, and take a ship on an exploration mission for the federation towards the gamma quadrant.

We will spend some time in known federation space, and then start encountering never before seen planets and species. all members of the RP will be encouraged to come up with new things for us to discover and see.

I think we will have 2 characters per person, one essential (like XO, departments heads) and one non-essential (random ensigns and NCOs) each. i'll post a list of essentials in the OOC and what rank they will be, and the non-essential can be any NCO rank or Ensign.

I'll get more information together about the ship and everything in a OOC if there is interest.


Now for a more detailed, Interest check here in the section in which it will be run. I'll try not to repeat myself, just add more info.

Year (may change) - 2376

The Ship

  • Akira Class using these specs - http://techspecs.acalltoduty.com/akira.html - built at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yard, Mars.
  • Originally built for the war effort, not completed until after the end of the war.
  • Re-purposed for exploration.
  • USS Cutlass (in accordance with the tradition of naming Akira Class ships after swords)


The Mission

Straight out of the Fleet yards the USS Cutlass is being sent to expand the Federation's knowledge of the galaxy through exploration and diplomacy. We Have been Ordered to make our way out of Federation space through the Alpha Quadrant in the direction of the Gamma Quadrant.

In order, to avoid the Breen Confederacy we will be traveling 250 light years along the Alpha/Beta Border and then setting course for Denab, near the edge of known space (according to Star Trek: Star Charts by Geoffrey Mandel, which we will be using through out this adventure, at least until we are out of known space) ((i know Denab is unexplored by the United Federation of Planets as of 2379 (according to a deleted scene from Nemesis), but we are going to ignore that :P it wont be a big bit of the story anyway))

Feel free to ask questions, i've probably missed something, or made a mistake with the Trek universe somewhere. We will probably ignore a few bits of canon (like the Denab thing) so please dont be too picky about details, but if you think it is something that cant be ignored please let me know via PM and i'll try to sort it out :D

So who's up for it? (anyone from the other interest check please post again here so i can keep track of numbers
