The Starfleet Security recruitment drive - Get/post your officers here!

duncanidaho11

Greetings all,

As part of our new campaign to make the Foundry Forums splendiferous once more, I am commencing the Starfleet Security recruitment drive! Here is a place where anyone may contribute or pull members of Starfleet Security for Foundry missions (or in-game Boffs, whatever you need). That means, no redshirting these officers (that wouldn't be fair to other authors) but anything else is fair game. The overall point of this project is to create an open resource for Foundry Authors and players that ties episodes together and help builds the STO Foundry universe (with respect to one organization). The more subjective point is that I think this could be a lot of fun if people continue working with it.

To start, here is a few of my own characters. Bios are included (which is encouraged for submissions). A standard uniform guide is also provided (using color designations from the STO tailor). Sliders can be found in the following google shared drive, to which I'll also upload other submissions. Officers are organized within their own subfolders.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwyGn-YYxuDHWDlQOHJ1UUFxbmc?usp=sharing

Standard uniform guide: (optional)

Colors reference: H1 (1st Black), H5 (5th Grey), C13 (First dull gold), A6 (Second gold shade)

Badge: Odyssey - A6
Upper: Odyssey Dress - H5, H1, H1, C13
Belt: Odyssey (any) - H5, H1, C13, C13
Lower: Odyssey excursion - H1
Boots: Section 31 - H1, H2

Attachments: Anything that makes sense
Gloves: Anything that makes sense
Variations on lower uniform (eg. long pants, tight pants, skirts), belts, and upper Odyssey uniform type are perfectly acceptable.

I will also note that I will personally endeavor to use all submissions in SSF3-1, whenever it is I get to that project. If you happen to use an officer, feel free to talk about who and how.

Commander Frank

Species: Laurentian Automated Personnel Unit
Homeworld: Laurentia (Orbital Manufacturing Company)
Bio:

The Laurentian APU is an innovation in autonomous labor. A processing matrix, much like a holograms, is built into a mechanical body, saving vastly over either a mobile emitter or a positronic brain. Frank was a further innovation. Equipped with an adaptive matrix, he could solve complex problems without direct oversight. However, Frank decided to put these his to more constructive uses than ship breaking. Frank escaped. Now he's an efficient Starfleet commander with a relaxed attitude towards his own existence. He enjoys just being Frank.

Captain Cetsa Ji'Goro

Species: Ibi
Homeworld: Iffar
Bio:

It's complicated. Cetsa Ji'Goro is the clone of the Ibi's chief governing official. She chose to pursue a Starfleet career after discovering her true identity. Captain Ji'Goro is now an experienced officer with sharp insight, steady command, but worrying emotional vulnerability (particularly where her new husband is involved). For more, see the Starfleet Security Files (SSF) Foundry series.

More to follow soon. For now, I'm just looking to start the project.

Lieutenant Sanoia

Species: Ferengi
Birthworld: Irtok
Bio:

Lieutant Sanoia is the two hundred and forty seventh Ferengi to join Starfleet, and the third to join Starfleet Security. Still, she takes pride in being among the vanguard. Sanoia is a keen officer who specializes in data security.

Commander Toprin

Species: Romulan
Birthworld: Brea
Bio:

Toprin is the first Romulan to join Starfleet Security. She was born to an influential family on Brea but left when she was young to escape the political infighting. She sought refugee status with her family on Regulus. Submitting an application to Starfleet at age six was her way of demonstrating her intentions and resolve to the review board. A Starfleet Captain took her quite seriously. Upon reaching the age of admission, Toprin was given a letter of recommendation to Starfleet Academy. She has become an explosives expert, perhaps with a little too much of the enthusiasm she demonstrated early in her life.

Lieutenant Commander Visash

Species: Caitian
Birthworld: Earth
Bio:

Visash is a medic. He's a veteran of many botched operations and takes a cautious approach to any new assignment. He prepares as best he can, but Visash can never quite seem to get a handle on the situation. He hates improvising, but inevitably does with minimal injuries to accompanying officers.

Added one more thing to the shared google drive: a full roster of known Starfleet Security officers that have ever appeared in Foundry missions. If you've ever created a Starfleet Security character, this is an easy way to add them to this project that doesn't require sliders.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10O4mxbgykZ9kmz9Tu5wY3VK57qAFFBgqka-mFjU_NxI/edit?usp=sharing

I added extra background information categories (eg. birthworld, department, join date) to help other authors to write for characters, if they ever make a later appearance or are referenced. If you haven't gone into that much detail before, try making stuff up now. That or leave items blank or "unlisted," it's up to you.

Lieutenant T'Agni


Species: Caitian
Birthworld: Cait
Bio:

The only surviving member of the Leapardus Squadron, T'Agni joined Starfleet Security at the advent of the Iconian War. Being an only survivor had motivated him to keep the entire team he was assigned to alive up to the conclusion of the war. He also became a familiar face to field medics. This was enough to get T'Agni an early promotion to lieutenant, although his commanding officer has noted some concern over his near over-protective tendencies.

He's also known for having a great fondness for Earth salmon.

Fur color: B2

Is this just for characters created for this or can we toss in characters that have also been used for other purposes?

duncanidaho11

Any! It could be a new or existing character, and it doesn't have to be from a Foundry mission.

The hope is just to make Starfleet Security a community resource with various levels of assets. People can add any of their Starfleet Security officers (current or retired, new or existing, Foundry or no), use any security officer submitted, or simply list their Starfleet Security officers in the roster so, regardless of whether or not they want to submit sliders, they can have a part in the project.

Having at some point been in Starfleet Security is probably the only stipulation.


Also, thanks to @Starfarertheta! T'Angi has been added to the character subfolders too (tailor settings are in the accompanying doc).

What exactly are they meant to be, can you clarify - people who'd be assigned to ground/starbase security, rather than people who are security officers belonging to the crew of some starship or other? Have I got that right?

duncanidaho11

Starfleet Security is basically a police organization working independently of starship crews. They show up from time to time in the movies and tv shows (best example I can recall off the top of my head is the guy who interrupts Bones as he's trying to book passage to Genesis in Search for Spock). In the Foundry, where a Starfleet Security officer would differ from your standard Starfleet guard is that the SSO would be involved in arrests and investigations as well as patrols and other basic security matters. They also would not report directly to a starship captain (ex. the player).

What I want to do here is create an open resource of Starfleet Security officers, pool everything together to build a bigger shared universe and have some fun too.
