Star Trek:Sargasso

[Phantom]

Just throwing this against the wall to see what sticks. Ok, as I had mentioned previously I am attempting to plan a "meta" game of Trek. Meaning that it will start in the TOS era and hopefully end some time in the TNG/DS9 era (2266-2373.) I know this is a LONG term enterprise (no pun intended) I would just like to know if there are interested parties (I know 2 have expressed interest) for this game. I think the system that I will use is the new CODA, as I am already running an ICON Romulan game and feel like some changes IDIC and all that.

To use the new series profile

Setting:
Era: 23rd Century (to begin with)
Region: Sargasso Sector, Alpha Quadrant. Border of Fed./Tholian space.
Travelling: Starship, Shuttles, and transporters

Crew:
Organization: Starfleet, others could be considered later on.
Mission: Exploration and Sector Defense
Composition: Multi-Species (whatever races are available at for the current era.)*

Base of Operations:
Base Type: Mobile, Larson-Class USS Cerberus. Starbase 15 will figure prominently.

Technology:
Era: 23rd Century (again to begin)
Avialable Tech: Starfleet and whatever new discoveries that come about.

Adversity
Threat and Opposition: Mainly Klingon and Tholian, will vary by episode.
Crisis and Disaster: by episode.

Feel
Universe of Discovery. (still working on the 2 word description)

My main idea is to watch how a rather unimportant sector (in TOS) evolves into a fairly strategically important one.

Medium will probably be something like a Yahoo Group. Interested parties can let me know by posting here or e-mailing me directly:

Thank you for your time.

In relationship to TOS, when will this run? 1st season, 2nd, 3rd, STTMP?

Beginning year should be 2271. That puts it, from the info I have, right at the end of Kirk's five year mission. Enterprise will be beginning refit in 2273. If my years are off please correct, working from memory here.

So I guess that puts it about in the middle of 3rd season and TMP.

What's the ruling on when Trill and Betazed was discovered?
Are they available to choose from?

[ghosty]

According to the Lives of Dax novel, one of hosts, knew McCoy way back when, so it would suggest that Trill was a Federation member back in the TOS days.

Betazoids, well there doesn't seem to be any evidence of when they were encountered and joined the Federation, but if you like to have them in the early part of your campaign why not.

As was stated the Trill are around, whether Fed members that might be debated remember Jadzia had to hide the spots in "Trials and Trib-ulations." That suggests to me that there were very few Trills in SF at the time. If that is the idea you have, do a little fast talking and we can see what we can do. I'm not difficult, after all it is to be expected with "long lived" races.

AS to the Betazoids I thik I will leave them as a "later" race.

Kirk's first five year mission ends in 2269. Spock retires from Starfleet in 2270 and the Enterprise begins it refit. {Though this is somewhat of a conjecture depending on which source you use as canon.}

Since the V'ger Incident is commonly accepted to have occurred in 2271, I tend to use 2270 based on the one line about the refit taking the past 18 months..don't remember the exact quote.

Work's for me I think. Thanks.

You are welcome. Do you have a website for your Romulan game, Phantom?

My Romulan game, ICON system will not be changing it to CODA, is at

http://pub55.ezboard.com/btheadmiralsgalaxy

under the heading;

Imperial Starbird T'Virik.

Positons are still open.

[Sawyer II]

I saw your previous Star Trek: Cerberus thread. How many from that roster are carried over?

[Phantom]

Capt. Vaughn has expressed interest in the Sargasso game, and I have e-mailed Silverthorn, Therriy, and Sig. Haven't heard back from Therriy and Sig. Yet, Sig is in my Romulan game so he should be easy to contact. As well I am hopeing that a member of my old group will be able to play as well.

So, I guess that puts it at about 6 interested parties at the moment.

Sorry Phantom never got the email and I don't have decipher.

I was afraid of that. I don't do mass e-mailings all that often, and uaually screw something up.

The system is still up in the air, though I have planned the sector out using the new rules from Dec. I would like to give them a try, but I would be open to ICON as well, I can pick and choose rules from both.

Like I said the sector itself is pretty much done, I still have to expand on the ep plans that I have. So, it will still be a bit before I am ready to start. Looking at at least the end of the month.

If you are interested let me know what post you are interested in. Pretty much everything is open...I have someone who might be interested in a jr medical officer, but that is all that has been spoken for.

You should have my vulcan helmsman on your list, as of an email back to me on June 7th. You didn't like my Trill Science officer's background.
