"...To explore new worlds...to seek out new life, and new civilizations....to boldly go...where no man has gone before!"
Bold words. Bold words indeed. But let's face it. That new life and new civilization, on that strange new world, that you boldly went to, where no man went to before...wants to kill you. Kill you, assimilate you, destroy everything you know, everything you love, everything you hold dear.
This is the year 2409, and the Federation is besieged from within, and from without.
The Klingons, its longtime enemies, press at her borders. Blind with grief and rage, the Romulans will strike at anyone, so that others may feel the same pain they felt when they lost their homeworld.
The fragile Cardassians struggle to rebuild, but rebuild their own world? Or rebuild their oppressive power?
And there is the Borg. What they cannot assimilate, they will destroy, and they are ramping up for a massive invasion.
And these are just the threats we know....there are threats none of us will be prepared for.
Maybe Starfleet's peaceful mission of exploration and diplomacy is ill-suited in these bloody times. Maybe it is time to put down the olive branch, and pick up the phaser.
That is what we intend to do. We will preserve our worlds, or perish trying.
The Chosen have need of you.
...Right, now that my narmy half-canonical intro is done...
WHO ARE WE?
The Emperor's Chosen* is a young, small, but close-knit and exponentially-growing fleet, we take players of all classes, races, and experience levels.
- If you're brand new into the game, we will help you level up, and train you on everything you need to know about this game.
- If you're not a hardcore gamer, we understand. STO is not a job. Joining our fleet won't make it one. Come and go as you please, we'll be here.
- Our higher-level Captains are veterans of ground and space STFs. Enjoy not just the mission's completion, but the teamwork, speed, and efficiency STFs, and their optional objectives, require.
- No more joining a fleet, being told "welcome", and being forgotten about. As its leader, I personally do my best to reach out to all of my members, to work with them, fly with them, and know them, as any good leader should.
- Enjoy courtesy and respect. I ask things of my members. I don't order or demand. Joining my fleet does not make me own you.
- Players living outside of the USA welcome, if your English is nicht sehr gut, we will make sure you understand us, and that we understand you.
WHAT DO I NEED?
- To be a team player.
- To not be a douche bag.
- To contribute to our starbase when and where you can.
- To not troll, pick on, or otherwise, offend the newer players, or players who aren't fluent in English.
I LIKE IT ALREADY! HOW DO I JOIN?
PM or mail either
@astarte05 or
@RancorClaw, and we will invite you as soon as we can. I personally am out of town until Monday, so use the mailbox on a starbase or the SS Azura, mail Astarte@astarte05, let me know if anyone else wants to join with you, and I'll get with you immediately.
But remember. The Federation and her allies need their defenders. Will you be among them?
Comments
1. It beats "____th M.A.C.O./Omega Force Fleet/Regiment/Division/etc."
2. And if people can bring other games into STO, i.e. the dozens of USS Normandy's flying around, I can bring in Warhammer 40k.
Just wanted to clear that up.
