Edict #23:
July 6th, 2022

The Fleet Commander staff of the Foremost Fleet and the Commanding Officer of the SS Bonaventure have agreed to the following changes to the Bonaventure’s charter.

SUPERCEDENCE OF PREVIOUS EDICTS

Edict Dedul #7 is hereby rescinded and superseded by this edict.

ENT ERA SHIP CHARTER

The SS Bonaventure NCC-01 is hereby recommissioned as the NCC- 07 SS Sojourner, a Lunar Rover class Light Cruiser, which is an Enterprise-Era alternative role-playing area in the Foremost Fleet. Its missions are expected to be predominantly exploration in nature and biased toward Enterprise-Era and canon historical issues and plot lines, and its crew staffing is expected to reflect the Enterprise-Era in posting, available races and tech utilization.

The Enterprise-Era is defined as the period of 2149 to 2161, as this takes into account the launching of the ship’s spiritual ancestor SS Bonaventure, the Enterprise Season 1 to 4 and the Season Finale of the series.

A similar Alt area is already in active service and is hereby confirmed to be successful as an Enterprise-Era ship. The Sojourner will continue to be judged by the following criteria:

-The ship must maintain an active and healthy roleplaying environment.

-The ship must continue to function as an Enterprise-Era ship.

As Bonaventure was already an established RPG Area, the Sojourner will not be required to pass a trial period. It will therefore remain a permanent addition to the Foremost Fleet, but if at any time it deviates from the criteria set in this edict, it must be decommissioned.

The Sojourner shall have a command structure similar to Enterprise-Era vessels, including all standard departments, rank structure, and chain of command. As such, RPG Ranks on the Sojourner will count toward Member Rank the same as on Standard Ships, and CO and XO positions on the Sojourner will count fully towards any limits in place.

The ship shall have the following Department Head positions as they exist in Standard RPG areas:

-Chief Engineering
-Chief Science Officer
-Chief Medical Officer

The ship shall also have the following era-specific positions as Department Heads

-Chief Armory Officer
-Executive Officer shall concurrently hold a Department Head position

Additional Swing personnel will be possible at the CO’s discretion, including but not limited to the following:

-MACO (Marine Specialist)
-Shuttle Pilot
-Linguist/Comms Officer
-Recreation and Morale Officer
-Master Mess Specialist Coordinator

The current CO and crew of the SS Bonaventure are retained in their current positions aboard the SS Sojourner. The CO may be removed or the ship spec and name changed at some later date in accordance with the rules of the site, without penalty to the ship itself.

====

CHARTER CHANGE LOG (Not for archiving as part of the edict, but for information only):

  • Removal of the term frigate to take into consideration new ship specs that have been approved for use in the era.

  • Clarification of the Enterprise-era as being between 2149 and 2161 and where this fits into the club history and canon timeline.

-Departments and swings clarified and adjusted

  • Reference to SS Bonaventure, in the last paragraph to reflect the ship’s history

  • Change in last paragraph to include the option for a ship spec and name change to happen in future should it be necessary without penalty being applied to the ship.

====

TECH is hereby requested to get the ship’s url links updated to the new name, as well as the report form and other associated such requirements by July 13th 2022 so that the crew of the Sojourner can feel more at home with this new direction the ship is going.
