And, what is the "official" division of labor between Marines and ship security? 03/9/05 22:23:24 [Ready_Room] Travis_Kroells: I was disapointed that I coldn't hook up with any of the chicks like I did with Bastila. I mean the romance part of 2 was kinda crappy. 03/9/05 22:23:25 [Ready_Room] Tethra: Doctors rock 03/9/05 22:23:28 [Ready_Room] Lt.(jg)Dustin_Marks: And I want a reason to wear a Luke Skywalker glove lol 03/9/05 22:23:32 [Ready_Room] Kansas_JoNs: << thnaks Precip >> 03/9/05 22:23:39 [Ready_Room] CaptainSDavies: Thanks for your question Kansas... 03/9/05 22:23:59 [Ready_Room] Hanna-Beth_Rieve: (Put that on 2nd priority on the queue, I guess...) 03/9/05 22:24:03 [Ready_Room] Chell_Reno: ok travis it is Star Wars not girls gone wild ok calm down 03/9/05 22:24:07 [Ready_Room] dr_mtporter: yes they do tethra 03/9/05 22:24:19 [Ready_Room] Travis_Kroells: ..? 03/9/05 22:24:20 [Ready_Room] Tethra: I'm a doctor 03/9/05 22:24:41 [Ready_Room] Chell_Reno: neva mind we wont go into perverting your sweet inocent mind 03/9/05 22:25:17 [Ready_Room] CaptainSDavies: At this point it's still a non-agression treaty, meaning that each empire retains it's sovereignty. While there may be cooperation, at this point the Agincourt won't be waltzing in and out of Romulan and Klingon space. There is still diplomatic protocol to take into account for. 03/9/05 22:25:48 [Ready_Room] Lt.(jg)Dustin_Marks: <<I just realized Kansas is with Benji and I in security >> 03/9/05 22:25:50 [Ready_Room] Chell_Reno: ah.. good times good times 03/9/05 22:26:02 [Ready_Room] CaptainSDavies: Did that answer your question? 03/9/05 22:26:05 [Ready_Room] Travis_Kroells: Just dont worry about getting shot up by Ndak, thats all. 03/9/05 22:26:06 [Ready_Room] Travis_Kroells: heh 03/9/05 22:26:13 [Ready_Room] Kansas_JoNs: yep. thnaks Captian 03/9/05 22:26:34 [Ready_Room] Kansas_JoNs: << yep Dustin - ur stuck with me >> 03/9/05 22:26:46 [Ready_Room] Lt.(jg)Dustin_Marks: Captain, I know it sounds a bit ridiculous but could I incorporate a missing limb into character development? 03/9/05 22:26:46 [Ready_Room] CaptainSDavies: My partner will be addressing the relationship between Marines and Security officers. 03/9/05 22:27:00 [Ready_Room] Lt.(jg)Dustin_Marks: <<Not always missing of course>> 03/9/05 22:27:12 [Ready_Room] Travis_Kroells: Relationship...::snickers like a school girl:: 03/9/05 22:27:38 [Ready_Room] Chell_Reno: so is this just a get to know the Agincourt type sim or are we going to have lectures and stuff? 03/9/05 22:27:56 [Ready_Room] Chell_Reno: maby were just going to talk? 03/9/05 22:28:15 [Ready_Room] Tethra: I like schoolgirls 03/9/05 22:28:20 [Ready_Room] CaptainSDavies: Thanks for your question Dustin...we'd have no problem with a character with a bionic arm...as long as it doesn't contain a tiny phaser, convertable power supply and tool storage, for example. It would need to have the same functions as a normal arm. 03/9/05 22:28:28 [Ready_Room] Lt.(jg)Dustin_Marks: lol! 03/9/05 22:28:30 [Ready_Room] Col._C.E._Harper: Hanna -- The "official" division of labor would be that security handles ship-side matters, while the Marines are more focused on external matters. However, the two divisions will likely be working together on some things, like Away missions. 03/9/05 22:28:38 [Ready_Room] Chell_Reno: ::thwaps Tethra:: 03/9/05 22:29:14 [Ready_Room] CaptainSDavies: Reno...this is a informal chat/question and answers session. 03/9/05 22:29:17 [Ready_Room] Lt.(jg)Dustin_Marks: No Captain, at most maybe an enhancement in strength but...

We want to foster an environment where people need to rely on one another, work together. Does that sound like STSF Academy? You bet! We're striving for a true "band of brothers" as our ship motto says. 03/9/05 22:32:19 [Ready_Room] Benjamin_Robair: ::looks at Precip:: Either that, or some fun challenges on the holodeck shooting each other. ::shrug:: 03/9/05 22:32:23 [Ready_Room] Col._C.E._Harper: ...and based on the comments here, I'm starting to think the biggest question is going to be: "Who guards the brig?" 03/9/05 22:32:36 [Ready_Room] Tethra: My character is based on a Superhero 03/9/05 22:32:49 [Ready_Room] Hanna-Beth_Rieve: I think that'll be security, right, sir? <g> 03/9/05 22:33:03 [Ready_Room] Benjamin_Robair: Gigantor!

What is the political standing of the other major powers in the universe?

“Orders from Above” Davies Logs Commander Simeon Davies Commanding Officer USS Jerusalem NCC-41009-C January 17, 2397 “Computer, open personal log and begin recording… I’m still in disbelief…. Earlier this morning I received a com from Admiral Gibraldi. Now, normally most coms with the Admiral relate to miscellaneous projects that he wants me to undertake or changes in Starfleet policy that needs to be implemented. Today, however, was different. At 0800 hours this morning Admiral Gibraldi notified me that I was to be transferred to a new command. At first I thought that Starfleet might have been unhappy with my recent performance. I’ve been commanding the Jerusalem now for over two years now and there have been instances where we’re run into some trouble. As it turns out, my fears were unfounded. Apparently, some Admiral had been impressed with my command abilities and recommended me for this position…. It’s not that I doubt my abilities…it’s more like I’m surprised that I was chosen to command such a powerful ship. I will be the first to command the USS Agincourt, a Prometheus class vessel, when it pulls out of spacedock on March 16th. According to Admiral Gibraldi, I will complete my tenure here on January 31st. From there I will be shuttled to Mars to oversee the space trials of the vessel before she is commissioned. I have to admit…no matter how exciting this promotion seems, I will miss the Jerusalem, just as I missed the Sentinel when I left her as Executive Officer two years ago. The Jerusalem has been my home and I’ve established many life long bonds between myself and my loyal crew. This new journey shall be different. One drawback to the new command is that I have been informed that my Executive Officer will be a Starfleet Marine Corps Colonel. I’ve heard reports of tension amongst the command staff on other Starfleet destroyers, but I’m hoping that I will be able to avoid conflict. Anyway, I’m tired and I’ve got a long day tomorrow overseeing several scientific projects. The best method for understanding half the stuff that my science department puts before my eyes is a good night sleep. Good night. Computer close log and save.”

Agreed! It was so good talking to all of you. I can't until launch next week! :(

STSF Community, On Wednesday, March 9th, Captain Davies and Colonel Harper will be hosting a special informal chat session at 10 PM ET (7 PM PT) in the Ready Room. This is a perfect opportunity to get know the Agincourt GMs and some of the players. Feel free to bring any Agincourt-related questions and we will be happy to answer them! In case you were still looking to join the Agincourt crew, it’s not too late! Pre-launch applications are still being accepted. Please send an e-mail to [email protected] to claim your spot today! Sincerely, Captain Simeon Davies Colonel C.E. Harper

Reminder: The informal chat hosted by Davies and Harper is tonight (Wednesday the 9th) at 10 PM ET in the Ready Room!

STSF Community, Colonel C.E. Harper and I are pleased to announce STSF’s newest advanced simulation, the USS Agincourt. The USS Agincourt sim is set in the year 2397 (20 years after Voyager) and will run every Wednesday at 10 PM ET beginning March 16th. Details about joining the sim will be made available within the next couple of weeks. Here are some of the features of the sim. • The ship: The sim is a Prometheus class vessel (as first seen in Star Trek: Voyager’s “Message in a Bottle) and is the ninth installment of that class. • The command staff: The sim features a unique command staff setup with an executive officer marine who is also the head of the ship’s marine battalion. • The staff: The sim features the same traditional departments as other simulations, but also as a marine battalion. • The plot: The USS Agincourt sim is set 20 years beyond the return of Voyager during a time of great political and economic cooperation between many previously rivaling powers. The sim features an epic storyline that will not only explore the bonds of peace, but will see them tested beyond imagination. • The possibilities: The possibilities are endless for the Agincourt sim. If you’re excited about encountering and being a part of making the future of Star Trek, then the Agincourt simulation may be for you. We welcome your discussion on this simulation and would be happy to answer any basic questions that have not been answered yet (besides giving away the plot!). Once again, details about joining the simulation will be forthcoming. Sincerely, Captain Simeon Davies Commanding Officer USS Agincourt NCC-81762

How gracious of you to provide them... :(

Colonel Harper, Plus aren't we planning to shoot wandering Marines on sight? :angry: -Davies

Ens Reno, Thank you for your expressed interest. Please note that applications are currently being accepted. The thread can be found at http://www.stsf.net/forums/index.php?showt...t=0entry38534 Please let us know if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Captain Davies

Promo poster for the up and coming sim.

Vex, It was a joint effort. I did the easy stuff, she redid my easy stuff and did the hard stuff. I'd say 50/50. :o -Davies

Murray, I think I prefer the English pronounciation with a silent "t" at the end. It's the best of both worlds (if something can be gained from French...). :P -Davies

Van Roy, There are certainly possibilities of cameo parts on the Agincourt sim in the future. At this point, however, no plans have been discussed. -Davies

Federation-Klingons Mark Ten Year Anniversary October 25, 2396 Location: Qo’noS Galactic News Network By: Marquis Célère It has been ten years since the late Chancellor Mar’tok uttered these famous words, “Today we bridge the gap between these honorable empires. May this be the moment that commands our united destines from glory unto glory.” On July 11, 2386, the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire renewed their commitment to peace and cooperation with the signing of the Third Khitomer Accords. The previous agreement had been withdrawn by former Chancellor Gowron shortly before the beginning of the Dominion War. The two empires marked the ten year anniversary with a grand celebration on Qo’noS. There, representatives from the two respective governments dined together before listening to several rounds of speeches that included Federation President William Swaggart, Klingon Chancellor Kimtor and the Starfleet’s head of intergalactic relations, Rear Admiral GromVik. President Swaggart offered some encouraging words, “As an old American adage once stated ‘united we stand, divided we fall’- this is a phrase that truly reflects our relationship in a universe of increasing uncertainty. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the Klingon Empire for standing with us. Your support has truly been one of honor.” Chancellor Kimtor echoed the sentiments of the Federation President, “When we began this alliance one prominent Governor joked with me and told me that an alliance with the Federation would cost more than it was worth. It turns out that he was absolutely correct. Yet, in comparison to the costs of allying with the Ferengi for example, the Federation isn’t so bad [Laughter]. In all seriousness, we are honored to have found such a reliable ally.” Despite the positive atmosphere in the middle of the capital city, not all were in a joyful mood. Protesters gathered and many had to be physically restrained because of threats and acts of violence. One Klingon from the House of Gimteh remarked, “We are here to stand against the dishonorable alliance. We are a strong self-sufficient people…to be led by a leash by the Federation Empire, it goes against the very nature of what it means to be Klingon.” This minority view seems to be limited to the far right who continue to seek for isolationalism and the removal of the empire from all intergalactic alliances. The faction does, however, seem to be growing with the signing of the 2395 Treaty of Versailles, a non-aggression treaty between the Federation, the Romulans and the Klingons. Some Klingons have vigorously opposed the alliance between former blood enemies. Nevertheless, the bonds between the Federation and Klingons continue to be strengthened and at this point there looks as if nothing could tear these two empires apart.

Mr. Murray, You are welcome to apply for the Agincourt when applications begin. We understand that from time to time players will not be able to participate for short periods of time and we are willing to work with your situation. Sincerely, Captain Davies

Travis, Very soon. -Davies

Nemesis, You are correct. There are certain advantages to concealing the true firepower of Prometheus class vessels. Don't get me wrong though, Prometheus class vessels are very strong even in docked mode. While there's no canon on their construction, my opinion is that they were built to be a deterence. "Walk softly but carry a big stick" comes to mind. -Davies

Images, Thanks for you comment. In my opinion, there is an ambivalence to Starfleet. While Starfleet seems to be extremely idealistic on one hand, at the same time it is pretty realistic recognizing the balance of power in the galaxy and the necessity of conflict. Starfleet seems to embrace the Grotian approach to international relations, rejecting Hobbes's warlike state of nature and Kant's perpetual peace. Hope this helps, Davies

Vex, An apt description, especially considering their launch after the Dominion war and Wolf 359. It's not paradise out there. :) Thank you for your other comments as well. -Davies

Murray, Thanks for your inquiry. Although the specs are not in their final stage, as it currently stands, the answer is yes. -Davies

Date: September 21, 2395 Location: Romulus "Romulus, New China" With the signing of the 2395 Treaty of Versailles, the final nail in the coffin was hammered into the tr'Llhvae-Tal'Shiar government that had taken over nearly a decade before. The galae forces overthrew the Tal'Shiar government in late 2393 with the unprecedented support of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet. One of the conditions for the Romulans entering the Versailles treaty was the official recognition of the Galae's New Senate as the legitimate head of the Romulan Star Empire. The situation seemed similar to the twentieth century United States' recognition of the People's Repbulic of China and the Communist rule as the legitimate Chinese authority rather than acknowledging the Taiwanese's claim. In that situation, the United States recognized the Communist rule because of prudence, not because of principle. Although the Federation did not necessarily favor the return of the Romulan Star Empire to this new Senate, they found that support for the return was likewise prudent. With the militant Tal'Shiar authorities in power, the Federation had found the Romulans even more difficult to deal with and relations plummeted to their lowest levels in decades. Yet, the Senate led by a charismatic war-hero of a Praetor, promised a new beginning of diplomatic cooperation. Some in the Federation questioned whether the Federation should even get involved in the Romulan crisis, however, the idealists won the day. In an attitude that could only be described as Wilsonian, the Federation idealists envisioned a departure from the fragile balance of power and the embracing of a new level of political and economic cooperation. The Treaty of Versailles was that beginning. Nevertheless, Versailles has remained largely untested, at least politically. Many of the economic barriers that existed between the Romulans, Klingons and Federation have been lifted allowing relatively free trade with minimal regulation and tariffs. Politically speaking, however, the three empires have remained relatively isolated. The true judgment of the success or failure of Versailles will be what happens between the three empires politically.

I like your thinking... ::plotting:: -Davies

The USS Agincourt has two unique tactical advantages. The first is that in its docked mode, most of its armament is cleverly concealed. This has the potential of lulling possible enemies into a false sense of security, especially if they have never encountered a Prometheus class vessel. The second tactical advantage comes form the MV separation. The separation produces virtually three heavily armed vessels. An enemy vessel is bound to be less effective versus three parts than it is versus one single vessel for the simple reason that it cannot focus its attack on just one part without being severely crippled. -Davies
