I'm very interested, I'm a little behind the curve on some of the Star Trek lore but I grew up with the shows and seen all the movies so I'm not far off. 

What should I do next?

For now, we're just waiting. The primary focus of this roleplay will be centered around the Ship's Company's response to the Romulan Crisis. It'll take a far greater focus on political intrigue and the collapse of the Empire than Star Trek in its media depictions - even in most literature - has been willing to portray. The idea is that the Dominion War, even if it was won, has left all three powers utterly exhausted. Even the Federation, which I can hint on here and elaborate if this gets off the ground, is facing division and collapse of societal cohesion. There's some lore changes I've done - the creation of armed forces for the Federation, the incorporation of a monetary system (which goes in the face of Roddenberry's vision, but I think it's unrealistic and constraining in this setting to not have it) for the Federation, and other such things like the complete ignoring of Enterprise!canon in favor of my own pre-TOS vision, based on some stuff I've read from before ENT was released - that will be seen later.

For this roleplay's sake, only TOS and its movies, TNG and its movies, DS9, and Voyager should be considered part of its internal canon. Enterprise, Discovery, and Picard are not part of this at all.

For now, you can read through this [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/181662-the-gear-locker-of-the-starboard-watch/ooc#post-5143533]lore dump that I wrote for the last times I tried this roleplay.[/url] Some of it is a bit oudated for what I plan to do with this latest incarnation, so it is subject to some change, but the broad strokes and most of the specifics will remain.
