The Satori is a pbem (entering its second year) based in the Gamma
Quadrant three years after the end of the Dominion War. The Satori has
been assigned to explore the quadrant, monitor the Dominion, expand
frontiers of science, seek out new cultures and allies, and carry the
banner of the Federation. The Satori is also the testbed of a new
quantum reactor as well as some offensive and defensive technology.
Since the Satori was commissioned, we have made contact with dozens of
species, saved a Romulan starship, explored both an artificial world and
a pocket universe, fought several new empires, and stopped the
Cardassian Union from a Starfleet-inspired civil war. We have several
liaison officers from alien governments as well as a reporter, have
offered sanctuary to new species, and welcome others.

The Satori was inspired by my suffering through a dozen or so rather
lame games which either died off or
mostly involved my characters running around shooting people (I ran out
of ways of saying 'I fired my
phaser'). I wanted a game that had exploration instead of conflict at
the center of its being. A game that
welcomed good writers that wanted to spin complex characters, run their
own subplots, and have fun in a
friendly and relaxed manner. A game with new species, new empires, and
the opportunity to stretch my
gaming skills. I have a story arc involving an alien group that has so
far stretched across five missions. I also encourage my players to
'think outside the box', to be creative and try to solve problems in
innovative ways, even if I end up having to end the mission several
weeks early.

We currently need security personnel, a CMO, liaison officers from
different alien governments, and diplomats. We will also consider
non-Starfleet crew (bartenders, traders, etc). The site is at

information about the current mission, the ship and crew, and how to
join. I thank you for your interest.
