The game will �start� shortly after the fall of Betazed in the
Dominion Wars (August of 2374) so, in this one folks, the Federation
is actively at war, thus, Cerberus will lean a bit more to the
military side. Yes, there will be MACO (Marine) units involved and
posted aboard the ships� I�ll be posting more information as things
progress, of course, but for the time being, let�s just start off
with basic stuff shall we?

What kind of ship are we working with?

My initial concept was to use a single Steamrunner Class starship (the
USS Cerberus) but, as I developed the concept/idea, I started thinking
that a two ship team might be more appropriate (and, quite honestly,
more believable) for the mission(s) we�ll be tackling, so I�m tacking
on a second ship as well (a Saber Class vessel tentatively dubbed the
USS Charon). And, yes, that means that there�s the possibility that
we�ll actually be �staffing� both ships. This, of course, is based on
the level of interest� If response is mild to medium, I�ll want to
focus on staffing the Cerberus first, possibly relegating the Charon
(and her crew) to an NPC-like role; however, if response is good
enough, it would be great to actually get both ships loaded out with
PC crew members�

What kind of characters are available or needed?

A wide variety!  Both vessels need Cheif Engineers, Science Officers,
and Chief Medical Officers.  The Charon needs a helmsman/chief flight
control officer.  While not strictly necessary (since the chief
tactical officer often doubles as chief of security), both vessels
could use a security chief.  Operations officers are available.

We have openings for marines, and one or two possible slots for
members of the Romulan contingent.  Naturally, there are ALWAYS non
department head openings in every department.

What positions are already filled?

Commanding Officer of both ships
Executive Officer on both ships
Chief Tactical Officer on both ships
Chief Flight Control Officer on the Cerberus
MACO Command Noncom on the Cerberus
MACO marine on the Cerberus (more available)

What are posting requirements going to be?

It�s not necessary that you write novels but you will be expected to
come up with decent posts at a minimum of once per week (more than
one a week is great but keep the �quality vs quantity� thing in
mind).

Okay, that takes care of the �bare bones� kind of stuff� As I
mentioned, I�ll be posting updates and more substantial information
as time goes on and I get a feel for what kind of interest there is
in the game. Watch for a related Q&A thread to go up in the next
couple of days�(or the next few minutes, depending on how ambitious I
get)� in the meantime, feel free to post any questions, comments, or
character concepts here. You can also PM me or send me an e-mail if
you prefer. I look forward to hearing from you.
