Hi there, I am your friendly XO, Commander Johla Riese :) If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me. Welcome to all the new cadets, please report to your department head as soon as you can and get your boarding physical and pyschological exams out of the way, I am sure Lt Cmdr Nadia Buentello is looking forward to meeting you all. Have fun getting to know your fellow cadets :)

Hey Everyone. A quick note to say how excited I am to be coming back to the Columbia. Once upon a time I was a cadet here. I look forward to getting to know everyone and roleplaying some exciting sims. For those whose characters have not had a psych evaluation since boarding please stop by my office. We can place the evaluation on the day before the sim's start. Thanks, and if you have any questions on anything feel free to e-mail me through my contact form.

2010.01.01: The Columbia has been assigned a mission by Commodore Wisecoff to deliver a prototype shield generator to Starbase 277 and supplies to Oed V.

2010.02.01: Our sim places a critical importance on time, therefore, about every RL week, game time advances by 5 hours. One game day passed uneventfully in space -- this is considered any time before "the Main Sim".
