Starbase 51 Seeks New Players From: Timethian <jdsmith_gfu@my-dejanews.com> Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Every section of every military has had their evils to conquer... and every section of every military has at some time or another had to realize that it must turn to the ways of that evil in order to conquer it. It's not an easy decision, nor is it very one lightly made. First, it was a Klingons... we could deal with them, and eventually we became friends with them. Then it was the Romulans... and they too, even if we still skirmish with them, were enough for Starfleet to handle. But then came the Borg. Suddenly, we were faced with an enemy unparalleled in sheer force, sheer power, or sheer evil. Their technology was centuries ahead of ours, their weapons making ours obsolete, their drive making us fall beneath them. We had an enemy who, unlike us, had no soul. Just the desire to assimilate. The Borg forced us to change, forced us to break out of the thin facade of peace we had so long held in front of us. We we forced to prepare for a war that we could not win with our current mindset. Thus was the Starfleet Intelligence Division born... those select few trained to not only boldly go where no one has gone before, but also trained to destroy that which threatened to destroy them. Our mission is still one of peace, but it will be a peace long in coming, for even on the verge of Borg invasion, we are faced with another threat, a threat that should have been contained on the other side of the Galaxy. Our new enemy: The Dominion. Unlike the Borg, they are cunning, crafty, and infinitely more evil. And we must fight them. -------------------------- Placed near the center of Federation territory, Starbase 51 is one of the more recent waypoints built for Starfleet vessels -- but it also has a darker secret. Starbase 51 has become, out of necessity, a home-away-from-home for the Starfleet Intelligence Division. After a recent takeover by Intelligence officers, in an attempt to flush out Dominion spies on-board, the station was handed over to Intelligence completely. It still hosts the galaxy's wanderers and travelers, but it has become something a bit more secretive. Starbase 51 is now in its second month of "IC-ness," and is looking for more characters to enhance its storyline. If you enjoy dark, contemplative Star Trek that focuses less on fighting Dominion bad-guys in dog-fights, and more on the intrigues of the system, then we may be the place for you. If you prefer storylines that investigate one-shot storylines from the television series, that aren't afraid to get the hands of the people a little dirty... if not a little bloody, without having to deal with the mess that comes from an R-rated simm (we're PG-13), we might be your next home.

Spoiler for next mission: "Darkness Reigns Supreme" The USS Malinche has docked with Starbase 51, resting after a long mission filled with betrayal, time travel, and the barely-averted death of the Federation as we know it. Opon their departure, it becomes apparent that several small children are missing. Two opposing factions of immense inter-dimensional power and knowledge have declared Starbase 51 their final battleground. But which force is in the right? The brotherhood come for revenge for their murdered comrade, or the man who killed his own brother to save a small planet? Will the base take sides, stand aside, or attempt to interfere with both? -------------------------- Positions Still Open: (ignore the 'open positions' page on the website. this is the most recent list) *Command: Chief of Engineering Chief Counselor Chief of Operations Transporter Chief Chief Brig Officer Marine XO Ambassadorial Head of Starbase Relations (Civilian Position with limited Intelligence Access) Civilian Sector Administrator (Civilian position with limited Intelligence Access) *Assistant Positions Assistant Chief of Engineering Assistant Chief Counselor Assistant Chief Medical Officer Assistant Chief of Operations *Other Starfleet Personell Engineers Counselors Nurses Operations Officers (CONN, Operations, Communications, Transport, Starbase Maintenance, and Pilots) Science Officers Security Officers (includes brig officers) Tactical Officers Intelligence Officers "Secretarial" positions for Departmental Chiefs Starfleet Cadets and Cadets-in-Training *Marine Positions XO Demolitions Expert Silent Weapons Expert Heavy Weapons Expert Insertion/Extraction Expert Cryptogropher/Decoding/Language Expert Medical Corpsman Pilots (Any Field Specialty of your Choice) *Civilian Positions Ambassadors (Any Federation-allied race, including Romulan, Nausicaan, or Ferengi) Shop-owners (preferrably not restaurants) Dominion Spies (limited number allowed... and I'm going to hound you with questions if I don't know you) Family members of current crew Random folks who live on the station Scientists/Specialists Teachers (In other words, be creative) ----------- Captain Joshua D.
