The Satori is a pbem (just over a year old) based in the Gamma
 Quadrant two 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, it has made contact with dozens of
 species, saved a Romulan starbase, 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.

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