Hi

[JGSL 0]

Hello I am new here. I would give you my name, rank, and cerial number -but I am not certian that I have a rank or cerial number yet, so I will just give you my sir name

 

Mr. Lynch

 

Hopefully I can find my way into your academy or maybe take the enlisted way out and be a crewmember... but I think even they go to the academy for two years

 

Also I would like to know what the system of measurement for a planets development is called. Its not that important, I am just curious

[Seiben 0]

Hi, and welcome to STSF! BE sure to read the Help section and Moose's tips to help you along in your academy.. as for your question about Planet development, do you mean Planet Classes (e.g. Class K, Class M, etc..)?

 

Here's a list of the planet classes, from a site I found on the net

http://www.ucip.org/miscellaneous/planets.html

 

CLASS A

Type: Gas Supergiant

Size: 140,000km - 10,000,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's outer or "cold zone." They have high core temperatures causing them to radiate heat. Low stellar radiation and high planet gravity enables them to keep a tenuous surface comprised of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen compounds.

 

 

CLASS B

Type: Gas Giant

Size: 50,000km - 140,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's outer or "cold zone." They have high core temperatures, but do not radiate much heat. Low stellar radiation and high planet gravity enables them to keep a tenuous surface comprised of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen compounds.

 

 

CLASS C

Type: Reducing

Size: 10,000km - 15,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "habitable zone." They have high surface temperatures due to the "greenhouse effect" caused by their dense atmospheres. The only water found is in vapor form.

 

 

CLASS D

Type: Geo-Plastic

Size: 10,000km - 15,000km

Description: Usually have a molten surface because they have been recently formed. The atmosphere contains many hydrogen compounds and reactive gases. Class D planets eventually cool, becoming Class E.

 

 

CLASS E

Type: Geo-Metallic

Size: 10,000km - 15,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "habitable zone." Their atmospheres still contain hydrogen compounds. They will cool further eventually becoming Class F.

 

 

CLASS F

Type: Geo-Crystaline

Size: 10,000km - 15,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "habitable zone." They have surfaces that are still crystalizing. Their atmospheres still contain some toxic gases. They will cool eventually becoming Class C, M or N.

 

 

CLASS G

Type: Desert

Size: 8,000km - 15,000km

Description: Can be found in any of a star's zones. Their surfaces are usually hot and their atmospheres may contain heavy gases and metal vapors.

 

 

CLASS H

Type: Geo-Thermal

Size: 1,000km - 10,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "habitable zone" or "cold zone." They have partially molten surfaces and atmospheres that contain many hydrogen compounds. They cool becoming Class L.

 

 

CLASS I

Type: Asteroid

Size: 100km - 1,000km

Description: Planetary bodies of this class can be found in any of a star's zones. They are usually found in orbit of larger planets or in asteriod fields. They have no atmospheres. Their surfaces are barren and cratered.

 

 

CLASS J

Type: Geo-Morteus

Size: 100km - 1,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "hot zone." They have high surface temperatures due to the proximty to the star. Their atmospheres are extremely tenuous with few chemically active gases.

 

 

CLASS K

Type: Adaptable

Size: 5,000km - 10,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "habitable zone." They are adaptable for humanoid colonization through the use of pressure domes and other life support devices. They have thin atmospheres. Small amounts of water are present.

 

 

CLASS L

Type: Geo-Inactive

Size: 1,000km - 10,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "habitable zone" or "cold zone." Low solar radiation and minimal internal heat usually result in a frozen atmosphere.

 

 

CLASS M

Type: Terrestrial

Size: 10,000km - 15,000km

Description: Found in a star's "habitable zone." They have atmospheres that contain oxygen and nitrogen. Water and life-forms are typically abundant. If water covers more than 97% of the surface, then they are considered class N.

 

 

CLASS N

Type: Pelagic

Size: 10,000km - 15,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "habitable zone." They have atmospheres that contain oxygen and nitrogen. Water and life-forms are typically abundant. If water covers less than 97% of the surface, then they are considered class M.

 

 

CLASS S

Type: Near Star

Size: 50,000,000km - 120,000,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "cold zone." They have high core temperatures causing them to radiate heat and light. These are the largest possible planets, because most planetary bodies that reach this size do become stars.

 

 

CLASS T

Type: Ultra Giant

Size: 10,000,000km - 50,000,000km

Description: Usually found in a star's "cold zone." They have high core temperatures causing them to radiate enough heat to keep water in a liquid state.

 

 

CLASS Y

Type: Demon

Size: 10,000km - 15,000km

Description: Demon Planets and planetoids of this class can be found in any of a star's zones. Atmospheric conditions are often turbulent and saturated with poisonous chemicals and thermionic radiation. Surface temperatures can reach in excess of 500 K. Communication is frequently impossible, and transport may be difficult. Simply entering orbit is a dangerous prospect. No known environment is less hospitable to humanoid life than a Class Y planetary body.

that wasn't it, but thanks. I guess what I am looking for is a critical peice of information that is only seen in the time during kirks first five year mission. In one episode it talks about the history of a planets development on a scale of a-z. A being the least developed, and Z being the most developed. The name of the system has since sliped my mind, but for the purposes of understanding Earth was thought to be at around the middle some where, and in the twentith century was somewhere like k? thats if my memory serves me right. Its a complex system really... I forget who proposed it. I want to remember, but I just keep drawing a blank.

[Seiben 0]

Oh, ok.. no problem.. I have no idea of the answer, but the other members of this site are very knowledgeable about these stuff, (especially the GMs, so maybe they can help you out) :)

[JGSL 0]

I hope so. This one is going to be a stickler... I want to remember, but I just cant.

Hopefully I can find my way into your academy or maybe take the enlisted way out and be a crewmember... but I think even they go to the academy for two years

 

Mr. Lynch,

 

Welcome to STSF! The academy process is designed to help new role players master the basics in Star Trek Role Playing. While some players do take longer than others, I don't think we've ever had one take two years! :) They are mainly basic training places and they are a lot of fun! Check out our schedule page for academy times. As always, the GM staff is ready to help you along. Feel free to Private Message us or post any questions to these boards.

 

Look forward to seeing you soon!

[JGSL 0]

Thanks for the info on Richter's scale of Cultural Development. I think there was also one on the geological development of a planet as well. Maybe it was just noted that a planet was young. I think though it was mentioned briefly in the Kirk years. :)

::Groans:: Vex, why'd you have to post that development stuff twice...now I have twice the head ache.

 

Sebien: Cool stuff, thats the same info I used when I made the Minnow system for the Reaent...cant remember the url however...

[JGSL 0]

this is a test to see if the photo is working! Sorry if I inconvienced you.

[digifan 0]

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Digifan. I am a long time Trekkie. I thought I would introduce myself to this group.

 

My Profile:

 

I enjoy working on the computer especially browsing the web. In real life I am a warehouse worker but I am a certified electronics engineer. :) I enjoy playing games, testing electronic projects and writing.

 

My Current Project:

 

I am a wannabe publish author. Currently I am working on putting pieces of an epic story together. Basically it's a coming of age story of a young princess' journey from her birth to her destiny as ruler of an entire universe. It will have familar elements from various scifi series and stories including Star Trek and Star Wars.

 

I look forward to reading your responses once my first draft is completed.

 

Stay tune.

[Grom 0]

Welcome Aboard!

 

We look forward to seeing you in our academies and hearing from you on our message boards in the future. If you have any questions as any time feel free to PM one of the GM staff or post them in the "Question and Comments" section of our boards. It's our pleasure to have you here.

 

Once again, Welcome to STSF!
