Description:

USS Caledonia and Starbase BoB...

Situated at the mouth of the dangerous passage between the Typhon Expanse
and Sayl'reth Space, on the edge of uncharted territory, this is the place
for the Officers that Starfleet wants to forget!

Some ships are well known for their service records of excellence - the
USS Enterprise, the USS Sovereign, the USS Excelsior. The Caledonia,
chronically understaffed and falling apart, is not even close to one of
those ships in quality or crew.

Some starbases are known for their commerce, their vibrance and their
resources - Starbase Raven, Starbase Olympus, Deep Space Nine. Whereas
Starbase BoB, never even renamed from its developmental designation, is
most certainly NOT one of those starbases. No way. Nothing like. Nowhere
near.

If you're a high-flying officer who's made a bad mistake, or a no-hoper
that can't seem to fit in the world of 'proper' Starfleet ships and
stations, then this is the place where you'll be sent.

Despite the levity of the description, this is a sim that lives and
breathes and resonates with the life and colour of the superbly created
characters. The pace is fast and the missions original and intelligent,
with plenty of action, intrigue and danger to complement the excellent
character development.

There is tragedy and lunacy, hilarity and heartbreak, pathos and
pratfalls, as the often irreverent, always engaging characters come to
terms with their life, and learn to survive in a world that doesn't really
care whether they live or die. And sometimes they discover that
friendship, a sense of belonging - even triumph - can be found where you
least expect it.

So if you have a character you love and a story to tell, and can face
danger armed only with the most basic of equipment (and be ingenious
enough to invent ways of making it work) then check out our website and
get a flavour of this unique sim.

Currently in holiday freestyle, new missions blast off early January 2007,
so grab a free position while you can!

Open Positions:

USS Caledonia:
CHIEF ENGINEER
CHIEF COUNSELLOR
CAPTAIN'S YEOMAN
Plus Department Deputies available

Starbase BoB:
FLIGHT COMMANDANT/CHIEF FIGHTER PILOT
CHIEF SCIENCE OFFICER
Plus our MEDICAL AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS are so busy they always need
good assistants.

Or if you've a bashed up Phaser rifle in your closet and a crumpled green
undershirt lurking in the linen basket, then sign up for BoB's marine unit
- DETACHMENT NOMAD. Where the marines who are too bad for the proper
marine corps get sent.
