Star Trek: Exploration (OOC/Star Trek)

[Tayner]

Where should I start with the invincible? I doubt it would just be exploring, the Prometheus class was a dedicated warship, an uncommon feature for federations ships, which as far as I know are made for versatility most of the time, if the Miranda class is any hint (they had it doing everything)

Well, just report to earth, and Comand will send you the briefing, and you can report wo Wolf 359

I'm having her executing a test run first, she would be a rather new ship by this point, if not just being finished

[Tayner]

Yeah.

Also, you're not supposed to engage the Dreadnought, your supposed to help it.

Yeah.

Also, you're not supposed to engage the Dreadnought, your supposed to help it.

The Daudelus is an extremely old vessel from the romulan war, it's being used as a practice target to test the weapon systems.

[Tayner]

Yeah.

Also, you're not supposed to engage the Dreadnought, your supposed to help it.

The Daudelus is an extremely old vessel from the romulan war, it's being used as a practice target to test the weapon systems.

Nothing is outdated in Starfleet.

Unless you're talking about a different ship, the one in Wolf 359 isn't a test target.

Captian's Bio:

Selorkran was born and raised on Bajor. His father, Vurin was a Vulcan in Starfleet, and his mother, Lenaris Laren was a Bajoran. Growing up on Bajor, he had no trouble learning all about the Prophets and the Bajoran religion. He does consider the Wormhole Aliens to be prophets (and refers to them as such), not only because it was ingrained in his brain from birth, but also because it is logical to assume that a species without a linear sense of time would have valuable input. He therefore carefully follows all Bajoran religious practices. Bajoran is his first language, since he went to school on Bajor. However, his father was persistent on teaching him Vulcan. Selorkran is better at reading and writing Vulcan than he is at listening and speaking it. Vurin also made sure to teach Selorkran Surak's code, and while Selorkran agreed with most of Vulcan logic, he thought that emotion had its place, and while it is secondary to logic, it is still crucial to pay attention to it just as much as logic. He may use logic to narrow down decisions, but once all criteria has been gone through, and there are still more options, he will use intuition.

Anyway, when he was 18, he wanted to follow his father's footsteps and joined Starfleet Academy. During the Academy, he found an interest in the sciences, and was a "blue shirt" for most of his Starfleet career. He performed his duties extremely well, and therefore, slowly but surely, he rose through the ranks as a science officer until he was promoted to Commander. At that point, he decided to switch to the command track, since it would give him more opportunities. Throughout his career, he was on many different types of ships: large, small, science, exploratory, etc. His favorite were the small science ships; he could relate to them more, which is why he is really happy to be assigned to the Jerusalem.

Captian's Bio: Who gave that idiot a ship???
Jack Finch was born in Montreal and had a healthy interest in outer space from the early childhood on. He was quite a smart kid and started "acquiring" replicator blueprints for spaceship parts around the age of 14. He started building a spaceship with his friend Clark Bendis. They continued the project even after enlisting to star fleet academy. It got them into a lot of troubles when they took it for a joyride from Earth to Andoria and back after their exams, passing through a few military security areas without permission. Nevertheless, Jack was an prodigy in piloting and astronavigation (a skill that he demonstrated while getting away from the spaceship that flew out to stop him during this offense) and kept his place at the helm of the USS Kyushu. He survived the ships destruction at the Battle of Wolf 359 and was transfered to the USS Bretagne, where he acquired the rank of Commander despite the fact, that the position of chief navigator was supposed to be filled with a lieutenant or lieutenant commander at best.
In the Dominion War he became known as the "Hero of Tammeron", where he assumed control of the ship, exposed his captain and the first officer as changelings (a rather lucky case, because as he initiated the mutiny, he was assuming, that at least the first officer was still the real he and just ignorant and dumb (which were attributes that he often associated with the first officer before he was replaced)) and lay an ambush that destroyed 3 Jem'Hadar ships using a few perfectly placed space mines and a surprise attack. He was awarded with the Starfleet Medal of Honor and promised an own command.
At first it seamed that Starfleet command would try to forget the promise made in the heat of war celebrations, so Jack looked around in the Sol system an found an empty Saber class ship in the Jupiter spacedock, that had been used to test a new Jump drive (tests that horribly failed and thus left the ship without purpose, forgotten in the Federation bureaucracy). He collected the names of 10 officers (or, in the case of his friend Clark, a crewman supposed to be promoted to officer rank) either without current assignment or with a captain, that would be clad to get rid of them (troublemaker) and publicly presented it to the admiralty, who were kind of glad, that they could award Jack with the promised position without putting a real ship in his hand. After about half a year the USS Sanzio was ready for service and the crew assigned. Along with the personal requested by Jack himself were Commander Chhatrabhuj Lal, an elderly medical officer and a security officer named Tom Morgan, who later turned out to be a Chameleonid named Loxo who reported to Starfleet Intelligence. This was about 9 month ago, the Sanzio since got a few minor assignments but nothing of any interest.

Code Word: Raffael

Notes: [spoiler]- Asa programmed AM. AM is fully self-aware and has an avatar of Asa's father. It even reused some of the AI algorithms developed by Dr. Zimmerman for the EMH but does not have a holographic matrix itself (Asa regards this as "an absurd waste of computing power" and "an abomination of data integrety and acountability") and is limited to the monitors.

- Asa has a cybernetic right arm (and does not hide that under artificial skin or long sleeved uniforms) and some bone and muscle modifications to the shoulders and left arm to balance things out. She has cybernetic eyes and a cybernetic right ear, but those look natural except on very close inspection. She can however alter the hue of her iris, for example making it yet black to freak people out with a creepy angry look. Behind the right ear she has a neural computer interface. She is an expert in computer (and security) systems.

- Loxo still reports to Starfleet Intelligence and Jack knows about it. Sometimes they write the "secret" reports together to have a laugh. The last two reports only consist of "Everything's fine. Capt. Finch still did not break the prime directive." Since the Sanzio had not been assigned to any important missions so far, and their was a lost to do with post-war infrastructure rebuilding, the surveillance of the captain had come out of focus and the reports ended up in some archive without much attention.
His mimicry ability is less perfect then that of Martia, famous Chameloid criminal, that died on the Klingon penal colony Rura Penthe in 2293. Loxo can only inflate/compress his body to a apparent size of 95-125% of his relaxed state, not go all the way from small girl to hulking brute. And mimicking the appearance and voice of a specific person takes days or weeks of practice. He is wanted by the Klingon Empire as the prime suspect for 6 cases of smuggling, 3 cases of mayor theft and 12 cases of illegal warp travels through restricted zones, in a time 10 to 7 years ago (in one of the cases of theft he is innocent!).

- Jack mocked Cora a lot, that "he could do that better" when she was piloting and they had multiple piloting duels. But Cora is very rabid when challenged (the trait that brought her on the ship) and 6 month ago, Cora finally started to surpass Jack. They also had a short affair but it was nothing serious.

- Uniform and etiquette regulations are widely ignored on the Sanzio. The officers, including the captain, call each other by first name, except in official situation with important guests. Requirement to the clothing is, that the color of one's crew type (red, blue, yellow) is dominant (besides tones of grey or black) and that the rank insignia is clearly visible at the lapel or shoulder and the communicator badge is clearly visible chest left side. The Captain usually wears a 2360s uniform (black with red shoulders) but with short sleeves. Alcohol (and other light hallucinogens) regulations are kind of bend. The replicator can produce them and in their free times, the crewmen are allowed to enjoy a joint or drink (or alien equivalent), as long as they are mentally clear when their shifts start.

- Up to his knowledge, Kwall is the third Gorn to enter Starfleet in two hundred years. He is a fugitive of the Gorn Civil war. Loxo and Kwall are best friends, since both their species suffered under the Klingon Empire and both joined Starfleet, where they are rather unique. He wears a heating suit, that he turns up to 30°C, if he needs to do extra-long shifts. He is an expert in shield technology.

- Clark is the captain's oldest friend and more of a mad inventor then an engineer, this leaves the second in command of the machine room Lt.Com. Zakharov responsible for most of the boring maintenance work. He has gotten a hold of the designs for the ships prototype Jump drive and had found the problems of the design but has not yet found a clue, how to fix this (or whether this is possible at all).

- The ship is small but fast. In warp speed it's comparable to bigger ships, however, in sub-light flight, is has an exceptional impulse engine per mass ratio, allowing it faster accelerations then any (unmodified) ship in the fleet (except for one or two prototypes, maybe). It also has stronger then expected shields and weapons, so the main factor, that makes it inferior to capital ships like the Galaxy class, is the much smaller power plant output, that means that never all systems can be at full power all the time.

DENIED

No cyborgs, AIs, Alcohol can't be replicated on Starfleet ships, as it is replaced with Synthahol. And the whole modified ship thing isn't cannon. Also, if I'm correct, your crew is to large for the Saber-Class.

Cyborgs: I don't mean "Borg Drone" I mean a human with cybernetic implants from Federation Labs.
Hey Geordy la Forge is a Cyborg, too. He had Cybernetic eyes, like Asa in my App.
And Nog is a Cyborg, too, after getting that new leg. I want an arm for my #1.
And this guy:

has a neural computer interface and uses it (I think in that one episode, Lt. Barkley got one, too, but after one little psychotic breakdown, he stopped using it altogether.)
Still not okay, or "Okay, but I have to use the term Human (Biosynthetically altered)?

And Alcohol was one point I wrote with the intention to show, that stuff is a different on this ship. Thus by order of the captain, the replicator database was extended with the necessary files to create alcohol because he is the captain (and does not care whether Synthahol tastes the same, it's all about the Intoxication)!

Memory Alpha sais, Saber class has a crew of ~40. I aimed for 42 (a little tightly packed but still enough that everybody has an own quarter). I ended up with 46, so yeah, I cut 4.

Oh, I see, AI is out, too. ... Which is weired since EHMs should exist and those are powerful sentient AIs. But okay, I can take out the sentience part in this case, it's just that the Majel Barrett-Roddenberry computer-voice was replaced with Morgan Freeman's voice (and optionally a friendly face on the screen) but no AI.

And what do you mean with "And the whole modified ship thing isn't cannon." - I thought the ships were supposed to not be from a canon source. And that Federation frequently experiments new or modified drives we know since "Mr. Kosinski" visited the Enterprise in that Traveler Episode. I think it sounds plausible, that at some point some Engineering Team designed a new drive and got into the prototype phase. And if we further assume that the prototype proved the theory wrong, than - well, it's not likely, that the ship gets put into some spacedock and forgotten about but I think it sounds like an unlikely but possible plot to get a ship.

Geordi didn't have cybernetic eyes, he had nureal implants that allowed his brain to receive images transmitted by his visor. Not every other member in Starfleet has cybernetic implants and not every ship was modified left and right. And if your capitan allowed someone to reprogram your replicators so they can replicate alcohol, he broke Starfleet regulations. And there wouldn't be an AI, your ship may have a computer like all other computers, but no AIs. And yes, I read Memory Alpha, I consult it every time I read an app. And the ship most likely would've just be refitted and returned to service.

In Star Trek: First Contact Geordi got eyes (Dr. Polanski offered him to similar ones earlier but they would not have had the cool broad EM-frequencies that the visor could read so he said no.)
Okay, we use the terms differently. For me "cybernetics" are all kind of technology that have an input or output directly into your brain, be it eyes that transmit the seen image into your brain or prosthetic limbs that react on mental commands. I have to admit, that I don't know, whether this is Star Trek terminology (it seams not).

Alcohol: Okay. Minor brake in regulations (He probably did it himself, he's good with replicators). Since both Scotty and Guinan had stashes of real Alcohol on board their respective Enterprises, I guess, it's a brake, that even if it was known, would likely be overlooked as long as the "don't be drunk on duty" rule is enforced (what it is).

And the ship: Well, it was refitted and returned to service. Basically that's what happened when Commander Finch said: "Why not that one?" If he had not come, probably sooner or later it would have been refitted for some other crew. As far as "modified left and right" goes: Well, that this ship is modified makes no claim over whether or not "every ship was modified left and right". This crew is an unusual bunch of individualists, that like tinkering. However, so far, I'd say the modifications are only superficial and minor anyway. (Well, since I removed the AI system from the app)

Well, I haven't seen First Contact yet. Way to ruin it for me.

And most ships aren't modified extraordinary. And, yeah, Scotty and Guinan had alcohol, but they didn't replicate it.

[Kaledoria]

Not the point of the movie in any way. Basically he starts the movie with the new eyes in place and someone makes a commant how they are as great as the old visor but much more stylish and then the movie really begins. But you should see it, it's a good one, imho.
