Hello folks! Welcome to my attempt at making a small, tight-knit RP. My hope is that this will focus on the relationships of our characters more than any overarching story, which is why I choose Star Trek instead of Star Wars as my Sci-Fi muse. In the end though, what'll make this dream a reality is whether you guys will enjoy it. Fingers crossed you do.
And if you don't, well, at least we can still be friends.
Five years from this very day, the CoC and the Khugons were locked in a pitched conflict lasting nearly a decade. The situation initially looked dire, with a surprise attack by the Khugons decimating border fortification and the CoC fleet stationed there. This was soon followed with further incursions, marking a slow but steady advance towards Cordovia. This could have marked the end of the CoC, if it weren't for the action of a small band of covert operatives which were able to plant an AI aboard the Khugon flagship. The AI began sending back the coordinates of the Khugon fleet, as well as their next objectives. Thanks to this, the CoC staged an ambush against the Khugons as they used the hyperspace lanes on Valinor Prime. Using the Immobilizer Defense System, the enemy fleet was ripped out of space, directly into a field of EMP mines. This, combined with the full might of the CoC navy left the Khugon fleet absolutes decimated. Knowing what the cost of a counter assault would be grievous on the CoC's resources, Grand Magistrate Orum offered a peace treaty with the Overempress, who reluctantly agreed, having no fleet in the area to press the assault.
Seeing how close the CoC came to destruction, Grand Magistrate Orum has redoubled his efforts on colonization, a program he had started long before the Khugon conflict. Currently, Orum faces criticism about the initiative, with some arguing that the money would be better spent elsewhere. In an attempt to help boost public support, he has authorized the creation of the Trailblazer, the greatest capital ship ever created in the history of the CoC. It's mission is to help protect the colonies, as well as discover the great unknown in the name of the CoC. Because so much is riding on this mission, Orum picked the captain personally, and allowed only the best and brightest to make up the officer corps. Now, outfitted with the best the CoC has to offer, the Trailblazer boldly sets forth to uncharted start systems in search of new worlds, new civilizations, and hopefully new resources.
We join our heroes after roughly a month of their journey has begun. They have performed a few missions thus far, however these have only been basic patrols and supply drops on some nearby colonies. The Trailblazer is currently orbiting Vortan, a planet of the Magnetar system. This planet contains the only CoC colony in the system, with the other four worlds left undiscovered by the CoC.

To be honest, I don't expect anyone here to have any problems. But just incase:
1. General RP étiquette. Don't God Mod, being a jerk, or any of that stuff.
2. Keep it at a three line minimum
3. If you have to leave for whatever reason, TG me or someone else so we are aware of your absence.
4. Keep it logical. I'm not asking for perfect realism, but I should be able to understand what you're doing and why.
