[center]This thread is subject to change. --- [b]News:[/b] [b] Tearstone is now my Co-GM. [/b]--- [hider=Recap] -Ship has launched. -Ship was nearly destroyed in a wreckage belt. -Team was sent down to the planet to search wreck. -Team is being gassed by malfunctioning ship and attempting to escape. [/hider] [img]http://wiki.tf-575.com/images/b/b9/USAF_Tempest.jpg[/img] The Tempest is the first of its class, the EX-305 and the first British vessel under the control of the Royal Navy tried and tested in the late months of 2013 and then prepared for launch in January 2014. While her design is based upon that off the BC-303 it was changed significantly by the designers in the United Kingdom, and is the first ship to be built outside of Area 51 as the British decided to use their own resources and facilities. It is designed to be a Research and Exploration Vessel in contrast to the BC-304 which was designed specifically for combat leaving the niche wide open for ships such as the Tempest and several more are already being planned. However though she may not be designed for combat duties the Tempest is still fully capable of defending herself with four dual 4.5 inch Mark 8 Naval Gun Turrets, multiple railgun positions and six missile silos complemented with eight F-302s. This ship is the epitome of Asgard and Human Technology. With the latest shields, hyperdrive and computer systems all complemented off with an Asgard Computer Core in the centre of the ship she is the most advanced thing to be constructed on Earth since the Ancient known as Orlin managed to build a Stargate out of a Toaster and some wire. It is the only vessel built on Earth to have a Stargate wired into the ship, the gate itself is from the Pegasus Galaxy so that it becomes the priority gate in orbit of any planet so that if the ship is in orbit it can be resupplied directly. --- [url=http://widget01.mibbit.com/?settings=c2129339a43d8c49d86c34fa8dff7610&server=irc.foonetic.net&channel=%23Aftermath]IRC[/url] Thankyou to Ellri and SunderedEcho at Coruscant Aftermath for sharing their IRC channel. --- The Tempest has a simple mission. She will go out and explore planets in the Milky Way whose gates are inactive, if anything is of worth on the planet the ground teams will attempt to activate the Stargate so that a link can be set up to Earth and a science/research team can be sent through the gate on a more permanent basis. However smaller items that could be dangerous can be brought aboard the ship for research at the Captain's discretion. --- This offers several roles: [b]Military[/b] As a standing member of the Military you can be doing a multitude of duties. Army members make up the five ground teams whereas the Navy makes up the defence teams, gunners, chaplains, psychiatrists, medics, doctors and all the other members who serve their tours aboard ship. They are lead by the Colonel of the vessel who is the commanding officer, a due to the size of ground operations they are lead by a Lieutenant and a Sergeant. However the Colonel does have overall say, however when on the ground unless necessary to call for advice the Lieutenant is in charge of whatever operation is being performed. [b]Civilian[/b] As a Civilian you are a leading member of your field of expertise this includes but is not limited to, Doctors(Medical), physicists, astronomers, chemists, biologists and psychiatrists(For those not willing to go to a military shrink). You are the smartest of the smart and all play a role on the ship, each researcher is part of or leads a team, teams are made up specifically for missions. Though in the end it all comes down to the Head Researcher who is in control of all the scientists of the vessel. Scientists share labs with scientists either A) Working on the same project or B) Works in the same field of expertise. However the Head Researcher is equal to the IOA representative. --- [hider=Ground Team Ranks] Ground teams are constructed from the Army Special Forces. Lance Corporal (Six per section) Corporal (One per section) Sergeant (One per section) [/hider] [hider=Ship Ranks] Ranks for Navy Members which will construct the crew of the ship are as follows: Able Seamen Leading Rate Petty Officer Chief Petty Officer Warrant Officer Class 2 Warrant Officer Class 1 Midshipman Sub Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant Commander (One, is the Executive Officer.) Captain (One, is the Commander of the ship.) [/hider] --- Available roles are below. In the application process select one.

There is a layout for both military and non-military personnel. Note, the only Tok'ra aboard have already been selected and there are no other aliens aboard. All military members are British except for the XO. Research Personnel while mostly from the UK can have members from other countries.

No Romance between Military Personnel as this is a deployment and if anything happens it will be found out. No overuse of foul language, I can see characters having the need but don't overuse it. I am God, even if we are on a planet/arc I am letting you have. If you are going to be active forewarning is required, otherwise you will go on the kill list. [b]Military Members:[/b] Act like it, if you are military and do something that is against the rules your char can be sent home. Use your [b]COMMON SENSE[/b] Have fun. --- [b]Collab Sheets[/b] Collab sheets are down right now. If you need to collab just mention it on the OOC or do it via PM. Though we're casual, so just post on the thread. --- [b]Important things to remember:[/b] Researchers can only access terminals in their own labs, if you go into someone else's' lab you can only use the computer if they have unlocked it. The Head Researcher and Captain are the only two with access to the Asgard Core and are the only people who can give access to it. The bridge can only be accessed by the bridge crew, Head Researcher, IOA Rep, Section Leaders and the Ground Commander(s). Everyone else needs permission. Engineering is off limits to all but authorized personnel. Clearance must be requested from the head researcher - Ship Engineers already have access. The hanger is off limits to all except flight staff, officers and pilots unless authorization is granted. --- [b]Technical Specifications[/b] Length: 200m Width: 120m Height : 65m Weaponry: 30x Railgun positions. 6x Missile Silos 4x Dual 4.5 Inch Mark 8 Naval Turrets. [i]Tech[/i] This ship has some advanced technologies such as: Advanced Human/Asgard Shielding. Asgard Beam Transporter(Off ship) Ancient Ring Transporter (Beam to other Ring units or straight up/down a maximum of 50 metres). Asgard Power Core Multiple Naquadah Generators (Not all plugged in, mainly for backup.) Asgard Computer Core Asgard/Human Hyperdrive. [i]Positioning[/i] Gateroom: The Gateroom is at the front of the ship, far away from the other important rooms. Most rooms between the Gateroom and the engine rooms (Funnily enough AT THE ENGINES) is full mainly with Labs, Researcher quarters a gym and two mess halls. The Quarters nearest the Stargate are for the Ground Team members to ensure that they can defend the stargate and have easy access. The Hangers are obviously positioned (Hosting 12 F-302s between them), both hangers have quarters for pilots and deck crew. The engine space is largely off limit except to engineers and researchers, between the two hangers there is also quarters for the main engineers. The bridge tower has quarters for the rest of the ships crew, as well as another gym, two mess halls and the officers mess. The officer quarters are at the top of the tower below the briefing room. Directly above the briefing room is the ships bridge. [b]Tech Fluff[/b] [hider=Gate Plug] The gate plug is a small circular device, the same size as the empty space in the gate. As the gate is placed up against the wall of the embarkation room the gateplug is built into the wall. At the press of a switch the gate plug moves into the void and creates a seal, that means that the gate can not receive incoming or make outgoing connections. However this device cannot be used when the gate is active as such there is still a mechanical iris system in place.[/hider] --- Any questions. Feel free to ask.[/center]
