I figured it would take several days if not more than a few weeks for everyone to arrive, I posted Major Watkins and his Marine Company (199 O/H v. 209 Authorized) as showing up on August 1, 2387 (SD: 64581). That additional character, I may play would arrive on 28 July 2387 (SD: 64570), one day after the Captain shows up.


Went ahead and corrected this. The RP will start on Stardate 64607, or August 10th 2387. Almost two weeks after the Captain and preliminary skeleton crew are posted to shakedown the ship. Do you think this is enough time? I want it to capture the urgency and the rushed nature of the Operation.

I've wrote quite a back story having Triss arrive at the Academy in 2369 when she was 55 which in human terms makes her about 25 technically 23.4 solar cycles in her peoples sight

Sure. Anytime between 1 AUG and that date is fine. You could even go for 2 or 3 AUG and make the Marines the last department to arrive. BTW, Major Watkins' birthday is 2 August.

@ReedeThe23rd Are you interested in the Command Master Chief position? If not, I have a character for that slot. It would be my second and would prefer someone else take it if they want. What slot are you taking? We don't have an XO yet (#1).

@CaptainBritton & @HeySeuss Are either or both of you interested in this Role Play? There are a few positions still open:

The Executive Officer #1 (Ranked as a Commander)
Chief Operations Officer (Ranked as Lt. Commander)
Command Master Chief (CMC will be their rank) maybe Gunther?
Chief Tactics Officer (Ranked as a Lt. Commander)
Chief Science Officer (Ranked as a Lt. Commander)

@GuntherI could devise a character for the CMC role if needed, though as far as what my brain's been primarily focusing on, I've been brainstorming a Chief Science Officer that's essentially a Romulan-centric Anthropologist(I've forgotten the Star Trek term for Anthropology but with aliens) Essentially an eccentric Exobiologist/Exopsychologist that's been observing and documenting their myriad physical, mental and intellectual distinction from Vulcans and other races believed to be offshoots such as the Remans. The issue is that for a CMC I can come up with a very compelling service record entwined with the relevant aspects of the Canon, but not much is coming to me yet in terms of personality uniqueness, while with the Scientist, I know how I'd play them to a Tee, but fitting in a relevant and flavorful history post-Academy is going to be rough. Ultimately it comes down to my ideas building for a CMC being more Military-than-Trek, but possibly feeling rather more generic than I care for, or a very Classic Trek Science Dork who finds this whole crisis a "fascinating field case study" but is very much a departure from the military aspects everyone, myself included, seems to like the idea of incorporating.

I think I would enjoy the Science Officer, who is rather out of place in this heightened state of militarism. Though I would like to say that it's been almost two decades since the Dominion War so he would've spent his entire career, or most of it, in this militarized force.

Also, I've gone ahead and made a discord. It's attached in the OOC OP but I'll post here as well. discord.gg/6pHZuw

@Starboard WatchThat is true, but perhaps I could play it up from a M*A*S*H-esque standpoint? This Man of Science who still believes in that Starfleet of Exploration from his young childhood, and signed up to try and revive that spirit from the inside after growing up in an increasingly jingoistic UFoP? The anti-war army doctor archetype(No infringement intended to our prospective Chief Medic) but with a blast of Star Trek flavor.

I posted the Marine Company for my own personal reference. I'll work on uniforms and equipment next.

@Starboard Watch I attempted to establish a uniform, small arms and ground vehicles based on the Star Trek universe for our use here in this RP.



Duty Uniform: The Starfleet Marine Corps duty uniform was designed to fill a role where comfort and maneuverability are more important than armor protection. This uniform is slightly heavier than the standard duty uniform, featuring reinforced seams and joints, and several cargo pockets. As with all marine uniforms, enlisted rates wear large rank patches on the sleeves, as well as collar insignia to distinguish them easier.

The uniform depicted above has the chest pack that can carry ammunition and supplies for three days in the field.



Combat Uniform: The Combat Uniform is worn by marines going into combat zones where contact with the enemy is at least suspected. It consists of a black pair of pants and jacket with black shoulders, plus the green department shirt. There is a small line of green piping on the shoulders, forming a border for the unit patch. The pants and jacket are made of heavy materials, with reinforced joints, seams and cargo pockets. Typically this uniform is worn with marine combat boots, colored black.

In addition to the uniform, a set of heavy armor is worn. This armor is based on the ablative technology of starship hulls and provides reasonable protection from high power energy weapons. There is also a helmet made of the same material. A built in load bearing harness completes the assault vest, having M.O.L.L.E. style mounting points for ammunition and equipment packages.

Starfleet Marines wear a non-reflective combadge as part of their uniform. This is a back up for the unit built into the helmet, and to distinguish them as Starfleet Marine personnel.

Weapons:
Phaser Carbine (PC)


Hand Phaser (HP)


Light Phased Array Disruptor (LPAD)
(Squad Machine Gun)

Medium Phased Array Disruptor (MPAD)
(Platoon Machine Gun)

Man Portable Photon Cannon (MANPAC) anti-vehicle or armor weapon similar to the MAWS or Javelin, but using Photon’s antimatter warhead.


Sniper Rifle


Vehicles:

Argo Buggy


TT4 Cargo Truck

Well heck no wonder the interest check was kinda quiet. :P

Anyway I'm here, which roles are still open? I saw a list on the character tab but I didn't want to step on anyone's toes in case they posted something and I missed it.
