Are you tired of simulations that want to confine your imagination and
writing talents?  If you are, then the U.S.S. Horizon simulation is
for you.  We are a freeform, character-driven simulation that makes
the Twilight Zone look like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

Sim Premise:

The U.S.S. Horizon is a Daedalus-class starship in the year 2169.  The
crew is entirely human.  After leaving Sigma Iotia II (TOS' "A Piece
of the Action"), the ship is taken in by a sentient black hole that
slingshots them out of Federation space into the Tarantula Nebula in
the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

Sim Plotline:

That's where the Star Trek portion of our simulation ends.  The ship
and 105 members of the crew survived the slingshot.  After a week
trying to find a way out of the Tarantula Nebula and figure out where
they are, the ship finds a habitable solar system not far away.  Upon
approaching the system, the Horizon is gripped by a tractor beam and
brought to land on the fourth planet in the Delta Nogosi IV system.

Upon capture, a mutiny transpires lead by the Horizon's Chief Medical
Officer.  He holds the entire crew hostage as his followers--almost
completely Martian miners turned engineers--have rigged a nuclear
device to the mater/anti-matter reactor.  The CMO and thirty-nine
(39) other members of the crew leave the ship after a stalemate has
been reached.  The mutineers have absconded with shuttles from
another alien ship that has been brought to the planet and are no
longer in contact with the rest of the crew.

The remaining crew is a cast filled with conflict.  The Captain is a
ladies' man who is attempting to sleep with every female on the ship
to help propogate a new human race here in the LMC.  The XO sided
with the mutineers up until the point of their departure when she
decided to stay with the Captain.  The Chief Engineer and Second
Officer is the Captain's ex-wife who isn't exactly on kilter and has
now gone AWOL (she's been taken captive by natives but no one knows
that yet).  The Chief Science Officer is trying to mirror the
Captain's prowess with women.  His assistant is the object of both
their attentions.  The Assistant Chief Engineer can't stand that
she's been left alone to clean up the mess.  The Security Chief is
simply pissed off at everyone else.

You may join the simulation on any of the sides:  crew member,
mutineer or alien.  For more information on the aliens, please email
me at cflamey@gmail.com and I'll fill you in on what's been done with
them so far.

If you're looking for a game that will challenge your abilities in
ways you never thought possible, check out Horizon by emailing me at
