There are a lot of star trek history sites that give brief summaries of the Dominion war.

Here is one of them

has this game started?

Due to some rl stuff getting in the way, I may not have the time for this game after all. So you're welcome to jump in instead of me.

We're coming up with character concepts right now. I am working on a support site for the game to work with the Inn's Trek Tools and keep additional information in mind (such as ship schematics, skills, talents, and mission specs).

One of the problems I've seen with Trek games ran here in the past is not enough readily available information provided the players, so I thought I'd quell that. Another being that each player took such a vital role in ship operations that trying to get a full compliment and keep them active was nigh unto impossible. So, everyone's maximum rank is Ensign...everyone is essentially potentially a Red Shirt. We're not doing freeform because that leaves too much to speculation.

So, it might take a bit to get started. Ts'Ah and Cooner; due to your complete inexperience with the genre I'll help you with the concepts.

Looks like we have an engineering representative, and Ops. TAC/security, medical/science, or MACOs would be welcome. Oh, and I'm going to add my own twist to some of the standard equipment, but don't worry; I'll have equipment information available on the support site.

Sorry to hear you won't be joining us, Gin.

For now I just need descriptions, personality, philosophy, preferred skills (star trek like, I'll fit them into the game). Well get into more detail later.

What's a MACO?

It's a Marine I think. Or what's referred to as 'ground forces' in Deep Space Nine etc.

Stands for Military Assault Command Operations; basically they are commandoes who were attached to starships in the Star Trek: Enterprise era.

The game support site is looking nice...

I might throw something up for everyone to see this weekend. Maybe. I want a little more in place before I do otherwise everyone might just dismiss it and never return.

Looks like we've a medical staffer on board as well as a TAC/Security personnel and Helm Control. So, that makes Ops, Medical, TAC, and engineering as well as Helm control. Sounds like a nice away team setup if you ask me.

Character descriptions folks (for those who have not submitted them yet).

I will have something to you by the end of the weekend, Brom.

Sounds good. I've now created a Q&A thread, the game thread, and the start of the Trek Tools as well as some of the Guardian Support Site.

Can't wait till the game is up...

If you don't mind I'd like to join. I can make a betazoid male if you don't mind and send you the stats next week. Just PM me if this works
