Alt Ship Charter Proposal

Posted April 4, 2020, 1:20 p.m. by Vice Admiral Daniel Lerner (Personnel Director, EGO) (Daniel Lerner)

I humbly present the Charter for USS Sentinel:

The Governor-class USS Sentinel, NCC-1794, is hereby commissioned in the (#) Fleet as a TOS Show-era Alternate RPG Area.

The USS Sentinel will be structured the same as a Standard Ship and shall be commanded by a CO and XO who are appointed the same way as on a Standard Ship and a GM who is appointed the same way as a Standard Ship. However, as an Original Series Era ship the Sentinel’s missions are expected to be predominantly (but not limited to) TOS in nature and biased toward Era specific issues and plotlines, and its crew staffing is expected to be realistic to the series timeline crew requirements. The Sentinel’s time frame (The TOS Era is specified as 2250 - 2270) must be honored with respect to technology, species, and species present in Starfleet at the time, etc. As is appropriate to the Era, the XO shall concurrently hold a Department Head position.

CO and XO positions on the Sentinel will count fully towards any limits in place. The Sentinel will not accept new members to STF; it is a Second Character Only ship.

The Sentinel will be reviewed in 90 days by the President, Fleet Commander, and CO to determine if the Sentinel has been successful in its mission. The President shall have a final ruling in this matter. The Sentinel will be reviewed based on the following criteria:

-The Sentinel must maintain an active and healthy role-playing environment.

-The Sentinel must continue to function as a TOS Show Era ship.

If the Sentinel is found to be successful in maintaining its environment, it will be considered permanent. It may be decommissioned at a later date should it be found to be irreparably in violation of any points of this charter.

(though I can’t take all the credit for writing it, I had a lot of help.)

So I was asked in DM to put my “legalese” hat on and see if I can post a revised version, just to clean up some language (it’s substantially the same as before). I also added some flexibility to the DH titles for the CO.

Here I go:

The Governor-class USS Sentinel, NCC-1794, is hereby commissioned in the (#) Fleet as a “Star Trek: The Original Series” (“TOS”)-era Alternate-RPG Area.

The USS Sentinel will be structured the same as a Standard Ship and shall be commanded by a CO and XO who are appointed the same way as on a Standard Ship and a GM who is appointed the same way as a Standard Ship. The Sentinel shall be set in the time period of year 2250 to 2270, with the exact game year set by the ship’s CO in consultation with the ship’s GM.

Missions and characters should adhere as closely as possible to the canon of the time period with respect to concepts including, but not limited to:
Technology
Known Races
*Relationships between the United Federation of Planets and other known powers

Canon for the TOS-era shall be defined by both Star Trek: The Original Series as well as any other live-action Star Trek movies and television series depicting the same time period.

The crew of the USS Sentinel shall be structured in a manner consistent with the TOS-era. The CO may rename a Department Head position, and may add additional swing positions so as to maintain a TOS-era RPG environment, but there shall be a security department, a science department, a medical department and an engineering department. The USS Sentinel’s XO shall concurrently hold a Department Head position.

CO and XO positions on the Sentinel will count fully towards any limits in place. The Sentinel will not accept new members to STF; it is a Second Character Only ship.

The Sentinel will be reviewed in 90 days by the President, Fleet Commander, and CO to determine if the Sentinel has been successful in its mission. The President shall have a final ruling in this matter. The Sentinel will be reviewed based on the following criteria:

-The Sentinel must maintain an active and healthy role-playing environment.

-The Sentinel must continue to function as a TOS-Era ship.

If the Sentinel is found to be successful in maintaining its environment, it will be considered permanent. It may be decommissioned at a later date should it be found to be irreparably in violation of any points of this charter.

-Daniel
