Description:

There is a sim that loves Trek, but isn't afraid to throw a bucket of cold
water reality over it!

Not all officers are noble and dashing and dutiful. Not all technology
works. Not all ships or starbases are shiny and awe-inspiring.

Some are rusty, run-down, and crewed by the officers that Starfleet wants
to forget about.

The crews of the USS Caledonia and Starbase BoB are the misfits, mavericks
and screw-ups of Starfleet, the officers that aren't wanted on the more
salubrious fleet ships and stations. Out here, equipment is out of date,
supplies arrive late, the systems are archaic and both ship and station
are woefully undermanned. The dewy-eyed ideals of Starfleet have long been
replaced by gritty realism and a constant fight for survival.

Set some thirty years after the Dominion War, the Federation is constantly
facing new challenges, new discoveries - and new enemies. Out on the
furthest edges of Federation Space, Starbase BoB sits sentinel with the
Typhon Expanse on one side, the dangerous and warlike Sayl'reth on the
other, and undiscovered territory all around.

This is a sim where the writers are passionate about their characters and
enjoy developing them to the max, set against the most unique Trek
background on the 'net.

They learn to survive, to think outside the box, to face the challenges
and missions that come their way with little more than teamwork and a
clapped-out tool box.

Think you could handle life on the far frontiers where technology isn't
always your friend?

Check us out. This unique PBeM Sim has been going strong for eight years
now, and we always welcome motivated new members to our friendly, talented
crew of writers.

NOW RECRUITING during freestyle before new season starts in 2007.
Assistant vanacies in most departments, but especially looking to fill:

USS Caledonia - Chief Engineer. The Engineering department is so
overworked it's just laughable, and equipment is usually fixed by duct
tape, if you can find any! Could you write a strong, motivated, eccentric
engineer?

USS Caledonia - Chief Science Officer. Any takers for a department with
hardly any equipment - can you scrounge and hustle your way to
re-equipping it? As well as solving some of the most puzzling scientific
mysteries that come your way?

USS Caledonia - Security Deputy/Chief Tactical Officer. Looking for a
hard-working kick-butt Security type. Record imperfect. To lend support to
the security department and move into a Chief Tactical Officer position.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Starbase BoB - Chief of Operations. The Command Centre has rust on the
walls, the consoles manage to explode without a red alert going on, and
the computer cores need constant attention. Not to mention you need to be
able to keep your head and be resourceful when the station is under attack
- because it all depends on you to keep things going. Can you handle it?

Starbase BoB - Flight Commander. There's a flight deck with a motley
collection of patched-together shuttles and a set of six ancient Valkyries
(one with broken windscreen) for the commander of The BoBCats, the
station's fighter wing. You'll need to be an ace pilot to fly both
shuttles and warbirds, a competent administrator to handle the day to day
busines, and a half-decent flight instructor to train the rookie and
wrecked pilots that are assigned your way. Fantastic opportunity to take a
pilots job and make it all your own.
