[indent] [i]July 2nd, 2400. The Federation still reels from the major political backlash from the events concerning the insurrection by Romulan terrorist groups, improper leadership and a focus on internal politics instead of the importance of the tenants of The United Federation of Planets: universal liberty, rights, and equality, and to share their knowledge and resources in peaceful cooperation, scientific development, space exploration, and mutual defense. The galaxy needs a message of peace and understanding now more than ever. The decision comes nearly unanimously from Starfleet Brass that the new Odyssey-Class Starship being built in the San Fransisco Fleetyards will be given the designation:[/i] [b]NCC-1701 Enterprise-F[/b].

The mission of the new Enterprise is a mission of peace: to travel the galaxy, strengthening bonds with other species, to uphold the tenants of the Federation's core values, to seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gone before. [/indent]

[sub]Space, the final frontier.[/sub] 
[indent]
The purpose of this roleplay is selfish. It is to create a story that defies the cynicism and darkness that permeates the culture of "new Star Trek." Instead of outwardly rejecting what had already come, the story instead seeks to offer a new voyage with a new crew, fulfilling the idealism and the dream of previous Star Trek stories. The Enterprise-F is the newest Starship to bear the name, and it carries with it a legacy of exploration, heroism, and the ideals of the United Federation of Planets. 

The story is meant to explore more philosophical and political themes instead of simple action and violence, though the story does not lack those things. The crew are not warmongers, they are not racist/specists, nor are they needless edgy or cruel. They [i]are[/i] humans, and they possess human flaws. Kirk was emotional and tended to let his emotions lead to knee-jerk reactions, some of which would come to harm in and his companions. Picard was very aloof and cold early during his command and Benjamin Sisko carried the anger and pain of Wolf 359 for years. 

It comes to the stories where these humans do the right thing or find a new option to ensure the best possible outcome that makes Star Trek special. The 24th century should be a time of great discovery, peace, and prosperity instead of the fear and confusion that the events of 2399 culminated in. It is that reason above all that I want to see a story about the Enterprise, a ship that is a symbol of the idealism of the future as much as any quote from the show can be. [/indent]

[sub]These are the continuing voyages of the Enterprise...[/sub]
[indent]You are enlisted in the crew on the Enterprise. You may be a seasoned Federation officer, or perhaps you are an ensign, fresh out of Starfleet Academy. This RP is meant to be an ensemble cast, and having characters represent different species, races, and walks of life. The 24th Century should be a time where you are not judged by your species, your lifestyle, or your beliefs. What matters is what you can do on this continuing mission of exploration. 

Your rank falls between crewman (non-officer class) to chief petty officer. Officer ranks range between Ensign and Commander. Your position on the ship falls within one of three areas: [color=red]Command[/color], [color=dodgerblue]Science[/color], or [color=yellow]Operations[/color].
