Do you Trek? (Interest Checker)

[Pyra]

I always thought Starfleet was very redgimented though? A member chooses a speciality and then moves up the ranks within that department. Least, that's the impression I got.

Pretty much, and while the guy I've been thinking about would be in the security/tactical department under normal circumstances he wouldn't have risen to a department head yet.

[Jinx]

Ahh ok, well you don't have to be a Department head, and of course Tactical/Security head is taken. You could still be in the department though, maybe Assisstant Chief Tactical/Security Officer then?

In a combat situation you take over if the Chief is out of action on the bridge. Other than that your generally organising the security forces in the event of possible boarding operations and oversee-ing the distribution of weaponry. In a non-combat situation you take the Tactical/Security console on the bridge when the Chief isn't on his shift.

One of the most complete and easy to use resources for most things Trek I've found is this:

While there are parts specific to their fleet in there the general department descriptions and position descriptions are pretty good.

So is anyone else interested? If not I guess we can go with 5, I mean it is a fair number.

Up for it then?

[Pyra]

I'm in. As it is better to get the important stuff filled up will be sidelining the security dude and take that open Medical Officer position.

Cool I shall be posting up the threads for this either tomorrow or at the weekend!

Right I've written and PMed my Bio to Jinx. For those of you who don't have a perfect memory of Star Trek I found http://memory-alpha.org/ to be quite useful in make sure that everything fits together right and also as inspiration. I also found wikipedia's lists of things very useful for coming up with federation ship names for example you may have come across a science ship and could use the name Penrose after a certain physicist in a way the fits the cannon perfectly. Not to mention that other use in bio writing that a huge ass list of names has.

So farPyra is the only person to have sent me a bio. Are people still interested in this?

[Phoenix Taichou]

Have you recieved any more bios? I still need to do mine. Are you still interested in running this?

[Zirak]

I'm still intending to do mine.
