The ship's about 485 meters, or 1590 ft, from stem to stern, about 300 meters, or 984 feet, from port to starboard, and about 576 meters, or 1889 feet tall. It can support a marine and crew compliment of up to 600 people, and has two shuttle and troop transport bays, and a designated fighter hanger.

My work schedule just completely changed for the worse, so expect me to be less active, unable to run my own RPs, but I should hopefully be able to keep myself in other people's RPs.

Accepted, go ahead and add him to the character section. I'll PM a rank soon.
@SuperTacticalDerp That'd be fine.
@SuperTacticalDerp Alien wildlife is fine, to a degree. Nothing super out-there like 20-foot-tall Venus flytraps or anything like that. If you're still up for it, then I look forward to seeing the character.

And my character, the captain:
Name: Nicholas Stirling
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Position: Naval Crew, Captain of the newly-christened UESA Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny
Personality: Very strict, to-the-letter, and rule-following. He often does random inspections to ensure his crew is performing at its very best. However, he also wants to ensure his crew remains happy and ready to serve 100% of the time, and isn't above the occasional morale-boosting shore leave. He does his best to keep the crew safe, while also completing the mission required. However, one regulation he commonly breaks, is the strict restriction on lighting a combustible aboard the vessel, because he is frequently seen enjoying a Cuban cigar, both on and off-duty.
Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise: Captain Stirling is a brilliant tactician, having taught at the Naval Academy at the UESA stronghold world of Orpheus IV. He's been a decisive part of several large-scale battles against various rebel forces, and is a valued captain of the UESA, which is why he was given command of the new Mayweather-Class Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny. He also excels at both ship-board weapons and navigation systems, and has been known to take over those stations in a battle, should the situation require it.
History: Nicholas was born on Earth, in the sprawling mega-city of Chicago, in the Former United States. He was often found beating up other children, not because he wanted to start trouble, but because they had been attacking younger or weaker children. This concept of defending the weak would last throughout his life, as when he was 18, a massive news report came in of an entire UESA Colony being decimated by rebels that had obtained control of a UESA Cruiser, and bombarded the planet's surface. This act is what pushed him to enlist in the Navy, where he would excel in his Academy classes. He would initially be stationed on the Carrier vessel Defiance, as a Petty Officer First Class, eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenant before being reassigned to teach Advanced Weapons and Tactics at the Naval Academy on Orpheus IV. As the rebel attacks got bolder and more devastating, Nicholas would be reassigned to ship service, first as a Commander and First Officer aboard Fleet Admiral Davis' Cruiser, the Dynasty. After proving excellent in ship command when Davis became too injured to continue during a battle, He was promoted to Captain, and assigned a new crew with a newly launched Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny.

OOC is Up! Please either transfer characters or post all future characters there.
OOC is Up! Please either transfer characters or post all future characters there.
The United Earth Star Alliance consists of Earth, and every colonized moon and planet known to humanity. In the past decade or so, political strife and turmoil has run rampant through the Outer Colonies, and spurred rebellion movements all over UESA space. The UESA Armed Forces, consisting of the Navy and Marine Corps, have begun to militarize and respond to the threat to peace and stability. One of the newly commissioned ships in the Fleet, is the Mayweather-class Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny. Equipped with the latest in both ship-based weaponry and technology, and ground engagement technology, she is one of the most powerful ships in the fleet. Headed by the Highly-Commended Captain Nicholas Stirling, the new crew and marine compliment are ready to engage the rising number of rebel forces. But who knows what else lurks in the icy void of space....
So, the premise of this RP, is we play the various crew, bridge officers, and marines stationed aboard the Convergence of Destiny. My plan is to have a wide variety of ranks and roles being played, so we can capture the events of different battles, as told by different parts of the ship's crew. For Ranks and Chain of Command, we will use the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps ranks, mainly since they are the easiest to find and look up. Links for the ranks are as follows:

Feel free to post any questions you may have regarding the RP here, or PM me.
