Summary:
- Sci-fi adventure that takes place in the Star Trek universes prime timeline.
- Characters are a new bridge crew for a new Federation vessel, continuing the mission of all Starfleet vessels and boldly going all over the place.
- The timeline is set two years after the Hobus supernova and the destruction of Romulus (2389 CE)
- Players will be taking the roles of bridge crew aboard the USS Minotaur, a retrofitted Excelsior-class starship.
- We will play a varied group of Starfleet personnel, with characters present from more-or-less any race of their choosing; use your head with this one, no Borg or Jem'Hadar for example.
- This will be a 'high casual' to Advanced RP in terms of writing quality. Character sheets will be accepted based on merit alone, not 'first come first serve'.

In Character Info:
Greetings from Starfleet Command,
In response to recent events taking place within the Romulan Star Empire, it has been decided to lend all possible aid to the Romulan people and the provisional government which currently holds power. To this end, you are one of those now contacted for present and immediate service aboard the USS Minotaur, your particular skills and successful graduation from Starfleet Academy have given you leave to join the bridge crew under Captain Rutherford.
Please report to Starfleet Headquarters by Thursday the fifteenth at no later than noon, for transportation to dry-dock.
All details pertaining to your mission shall be given in briefing aboard the Minotaur.
Good luck.

Out of character info:
Congratulations, you have just been recommended and assigned to the bridge crew of the NCC-81521 Minotaur, a vessel currently in dry-dock in orbit but soon to be heading toward what was once the Romulan Neutral Zone; circumstances being what they are, your group of Junior Officers was assembled to helm the presently refitted ship and direct your course into what has been – until very recently – 'enemy' territory.
Although you may well be only a Junior Officer, you are fresh and level-headed, and your marks at your chosen branch of Starfleet Academy have made sure that you were put forward for this opportunity to go where almost no Federation vessel has gone before.
I have made the entire plot and specific details of this RP brief and vague, as I much prefer to develop things through the actual writing itself. What I am looking at doing here is a simple mission that can/may become slightly 'sandbox-like' depending on the development of and particular characters that we have aboard.
We will be taking the part of the bridge crew but, as with any ST TV series, the bridge crew will make up a good part of any Away Team.
I will be looking for the usual sections/branches of personnel for us to get going – engineering, security, and so on - but nothing more particular at this point in time.
This is going to be a very character driven RP, again much like the TV shows, so if you cannot form paragraphs around interaction and the like then you're going to have a hard time. There will be some action, of course, but much more beside as well.
If you find your own knowledge of the Star Trek universe a little lacking, I'd suggest that you use Memory Alpha (the most accurate ST wiki thus far) as a resource. A simple Google search can also yield information.

Rules
- Sort your squabbles out in private. If you persistently disagree with another player or they're grieving you, involve me. If necessary, I will smite you myself.
- No godmodding (controlling someone else's character). Obviously.
- Real life creeps up on everybody and sometimes you just don't feel like, or don't have the time to churn out a lengthy, quality post. That is fine, but try to post something just to keep things moving at least once every fortnight.
- One character per player.
- My decisions, or that of my co-GM, are final.
