Where now?

There are many resources here at STF that are designed to simply help members and allow them to get the best out of being here. But sometimes these can be confusing and daunting to say the least. So, to help you out the Personnel Department has created this page to point you in the right direction. Read through the descriptions of each of the resources and see if it is right for you.

Mentors

Sign Up for a Mentor! - A mentor will be a personal guide to STF. They are available to answer any questions, help you with your role playing, or just be a friend and contact!

STF Academy

If you are looking for somewhere to give you that helping hand that we all need sometimes, the Academy is the place to go. Whether you signed up to start off in the Academy or you decided to go mainstream, the Academy has a lot to offer and is a good starting point for anyone.

  • Player's Handbook - This guide will get you on your feet and role playing before you know it! It has a lot of valuable information and frequently asked questions answered inside of it, so it should be the New Member's first stop. Take a look around.
  • Academy Courses - This is a collection of Academy Courses. Each department has a course, with lots of good information on how to role play within that role. You can take a test at the end if you want, and if you pass, you will be eligible for promotion!
  • Academy Ship - The Academy ship is where you can ask any questions and read up on discussion that are currently going on concerning the Academy. You will also find links to the various Academy resources such as the courses and the gradutes lists.

STF Library

The Library is STF's way of colating information and putting it into one easy to find place for new members and old hands alike. Here you will find information ranging from how the elections are run to the profiles of races created by our very own members. It is continuously developing and being added to, so don't forget to return periodically to see what is new.

  • Library Main Page - This is just what it sounds like- a library of all STF books!
  • Reference Manual - This manual is a list of all role playing aspects that are unique to STF, that aren't technical in nature. It lists unique species, planets, and societies, as well as some Trek science information.

STF Engineering Engeneering

STF has a great engineering tradition of creating our own custom technology and even ships. All of the designs and specifications used in our roleplay areas are original creations by our members - a fact we are proud of. Every one is encouraged to take part in reviewing, designing or even just reading through the specifications.

  • Technical Manual - This manual serves as the definitive list of all ships and technologies approved by the STF Engineering Department. Everything in this manual is unique to STF, and submissions are open to anyone!
  • Engineering Department Ship - This is the main area for discussion engineering related. Here all our proposals for new ship classes are reviewed by the membership before they are put into the Technical Manual and actually used in our roleplay areas.
  • STF Engineering Exam - This designed for anyone who wants to further their knowledge of engineering in the Star Trek universe. It isn't limited to engineering officers either!

Office of the President

STF has a President who is elected by the membership every 8 months. The Office of the President website houses a whole collection historical documentation in the form of edicts and reports.

  • Past Presidential Edicts - This is a database, sorted by time, of all the STF Edicts. Just click on a president's name to see their edicts. Edicts are the rules of our club, so every rule that exists in written form is found here.
  • Report Archive - Reports are submitted by every department and every ship (the Fleet reports) at the end of each month. These are useful for a number of reasons, including when deciding on whether to join a ship or not. The report archive contains all the reports submitted over the past several years.

Second Character

If you enjoy STF, you might decide you wish to take on a second character on a different ship. We allow and encourage this, unless you have been assigned to the academy. As a member of the Academy, you have to wait until you have graduated to take on additional characters. Please note that any additional characters you take on must be added to your current login ID. Please do not fill out another membership form when you are requesting an additional character. Instead, you can email the captain of the ship you wish to join. Their email address will be on the ship's main page.

  • Ship Profiles - These are a profile for each of the mainstream ships in STF which have information like the vacancies on a ship, who the CO is and their email, as well as a little description. Using the ship profiles is your best bet at finding yourself a home for your second chracter. If you are looking for a specific position it can be sorted by position too!
  • Personnel Department Ship - Here you can see any adverts posted for open positions. Check back regularlly as COs post new vacancies here often.
  • Email the Personnel Department - Failing all of the above you can email us and we will do the leg work for you! Just give us your top three prefences for a position, a chracter name and a species and we will do the rest! However we can only place you as a Ensign as promoting is upto the individual ship COs.
