USS INDEPENDENCE NX-90201
http://uss-independence.org

USS Independence is an online roleplaying game based on collaborative
storytelling. Players are encouraged to singly and jointly write
mission posts to advance the free-form story, whether by developing
their character or adding to the plot. We are always on the lookout
for experienced roleplayers and writers, especially to fill key
departmental positions.

Our basic requirement is at least four posts per month (joint posts
count as one each for each participant), but many of our players
usually exceed this minimum. We have an experienced team leading the
game, which ensures that missions are always interesting and
challenging.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Aboard USS Independence, we have introduced new elements into our game
that extend on what we have seen in the shows:

- USS INDEPENDENCE (http://uss-independence.org/independence_specs) is
a Sovereign-class starship. You must visit the famous "Miss Ceci's",
the crew's lounge that has the most amazing views you'll ever have on
any starship.

- USS INVICTUS (http://uss-independence.org/invictus_specs) is an
adjunct starship assigned to USS Independence. With a second vessel,
our scope of storytelling is greatly expanded.

- MIDSHIPMAN CRUISE is a group of Starfleet cadets assigned aboard USS
Independence on their final "Cadet Cruise" prior to graduation from
the Academy. This is life aboard a Federation starship, viewed from
the other end.

- STARFIGHTER WING is an experimental group of starfighters, based on
the successes of the Dominion War, embarked aboard USS Independence.
This has been one of our most popular concepts, with more applicants
than we thought.

If any of the above inspires you, sign upwith us today and get right
into the action!

MISSION IDEAS

Our mission ideas are interesting and even challenging. We have had
previous missions where:

* we've had two storylines running in parallel (because part of the
crew were trapped in another time-space)

* a musical episode (the crew spontaneously bursting into song and
dance, with rewritten lyrics to popular tunes)

* the "Kobayashi Maru", where members of the crew take turns to relate
their Academy experiences with the infamous training scenario

We have other mission concepts in store (which we won't give away
here) - so, you want to be part of it, you have to sign up!
BASIC STATISTICS

JOINING UP

There is no "training academy" for you to go through. Just fill in our
application form at http://uss-independence.org/apply, create your
character and off you go!

Experienced players may apply to start with a senior rank and/or
position; otherwise, advancement through the ranks is usually quite
rapid, depending on participation. We also have an age limit of
players 17 or older.
