    Please feel free to visit holodeck.enjin.com We are a Star Trek Online Role Play Community that would be happy to welcome any forum RP, Journals or Stories you guys may want to post. The site is brand new but we are growing and always looking for old and new RPers to come in and join with us!

    *Edit: This is not a fleet advertisement. Holodeck RP is for all fleets and factions. We are a RP community. Apparently the moderators here do not know what that is, so I felt I would clarify. Anyways! Good luck with the guld, I am @Doresainbane if you guys ever need a criminal around!*

    For those that are not only looking for a well-established and efficiently functioning fleet but also enjoy making a real contribution to the fleet itself, then your wish may have just come true.

    In addition to participating in very engaging Star Trek RP and in missions and such in STO, there are a variety of site positions in the Lotus Fleet available for current and new members to apply.


    For example:

    In the Command Division we are in need of someone with graphic skills and experience to become our Media Developer.
    We also need Writers and Editors for our new Fleet Newsletter.

    In the Operations Division we could us an RP Assistant, an RP Recruiter, and additional Event Planners.

    In the Academy, we could use several Academy Professors, such as Professors of Tactical & Security, Science, Medicine, and Operations.

    So if you are a connoisseur of Star Trek related activities, interactions, conversations, etc... then you may very well find a home within the Lotus Fleet.

    Come check us out and inquire!

    Currently there is still one listed RP positions open in the Fleet:

    Chief Security and Tactical Officer aboard the USS Phoenix

    However, with a crew of 1,000 available on the ship, there are still openings for those interested in serving in one of the departments on the ship... perhaps as an assistant to any chief... for example.

    Currently, the USS Phoenix is in the midst of the dedication ceremony for this newly crafted Avenger-class Star Cruiser: a hybrid vessel modified and upgraded to the max toward a specialization for scientific research and exploration.

    Major speeches from Starbase Fleet Captain Samji and the commanding officer of this new starship Captain Syntron are about to transpire.

    Afterward... they will commence with their maiden voyage... which should a very exciting adventure.


    Basic details about qualifying for an RP position in Lotus Fleet:

    1. Complete the Academy courses. (choose your specialization)
    2. Graduate & receive Diploma
    3. Complete these RP courses:
    -RP 101- Intro to RP http://www.lotusfleet.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=259
    -RP 201- Starship RP http://www.lotusfleet.org/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=261
    4. Complete a character application: http://www.lotusfleet.org/form.php?f=18
    5. Find/choose an available position on one of the ships and apply for that position.
    (there will be room even if a particular position is unavailable)

    Greetings Star Trek Enthusiasts!

    The Lotus Fleet RP is in the midst of the USS Phoenix commissioning ceremony in the great hall of the Lotus Starbase. The after party celebration is about to commence. Woo hoo! There's not just Synthehol at this shindig... no Sir... there are spirits present that would make Scotty grin from ear-to-ear! Yes, indeed.

    Meanwhile, the USS Horizon is out testing their new Transwarp drive... and a presentation about a unique species is about to begin in their lecture hall.

    There is much immersion into the realm of Star Trek in these stories... for those that like this sort of thing. ;-)


    Anyway... such is a day in the life of lotus fleet. http://www.lotusfleet.org/index.php

    There are lists of many available fleets are in these threads. Take a look at each one, just how comprehensive is their overall organization?

    If you are looking for a smaller more intimate fleet that exists and functions beyond STO as well, then just gaze back at all of the info on the previous posts and pages of the Lotus Fleet and you can see that we have quite an extensive offering for those that truly love Star Trek and are willing and inspired to join a fleet that has a well-rounded and dedicated membership.

    Greetings all!

    For something different, we are attempting in our fleet to play a game of Tongo based on rules our Operations CO Admiral Evshell made up for the Ferengi game popularized by Deep Space Nine.

    Here's an overview of Tongo: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Tongo

    He put together the rules based on things said during the shows as well as standard Business Economics. They are available in a word document that we are using to figure out what the hell we are doing... although that in itself is rather questionable. :-)

    Nevertheless... we are risk-takers... as you would expect in Starfleet... and are willing to experiment with something new and different... especially if it has a Star Trek origin-connection.


    Additional info: http://www.lotusfleet.org/index.php

    NOTE: It is a turn based game, so everyone involved will have to be consistently active for this to work and be enjoyable! The rest can just watch the action unfold... i.e. spectators.

    Greetings Trek aficionados!

    Our second RP Fleet Action concluded back in the spring, and while the novelization is still in process, our Fleet Admiral Kheren made a video teaser about the story entitled Crusade. This was the longest RP to date: 14 months in the making.

    Check out the teaser here: http://youtu.be/lmIlDgFu0do
    Feel free to leave your thoughts/impressions there.

    Some excellent news in the Lotus fleet:

    Welcome to the Commander of Lotus Fleet's Operations Division Admiral Athos. One of our original members has returned and now leads our Operation division. This is the division that is responsible for all of the activity that occurs within the fleet. So... look for an upcoming surge in fleet events, including STO! :D

    Along with him, we also welcome back Rear Admiral Joester, who will serving as our Operations Department Executive Officer, and Admiral Athos right-hand man.

    Ah... a great time to be in Lotus fleet as our RP stories continue to thrive and our leadership solidifies to an even greater degree. Perhaps the only thing missing are more Star Trek enthusiasts (like some of you) joining the team and adding your unique contributions to the fleet.

    :cool:

    We here at Star Base 10 are very happy to have Admiral Athos and Rear Admiral Joester back into these office's again after their hiatus.

    I might mention that Admiral Athos has been with Lotus Fleet for just over 5 and a half years, being an original founder of Lotus Fleet!

    Also, Rear Admiral Joester has been watching over us for 4 and a half years, thus giving Lotus Fleet many months of tireless service.

    We at Lotus Fleet are proud to have these veteran members back into an office ... although their office's do need a bit of tidying up.:P

    As former Operations CO and current Fleet Executive Officer, I am INCREDIBLY pleased to be able to pass the reigns on to Admiral Athos and Rear Admiral Joester. Congratulations guys.

    Additionally, with the weather about to get colder as we move into Autumn, it is time to consider what you want to do to occupy your time around the house. Why not try out Lotus Fleet's RP, which currently has two ships almost fully staffed and could use a third :cool:

    Hello STO!

    After some downtime, I am excited to be back helping Lotus Fleet to grow. My main goal is to help Fleet members have fun and organize our in-game efforts to maximize what Lotus Fleet can provide to its members.

    We have a full Tier 3 Starbase; a Tier 1 Embassy (working on upgrading to Tier 2 now); and a Tier 1 Mine ready for upgrade to Tier 2.

    Some Fleet's out there are close to or have maximized all of their Fleet Holdings; with Lotus Fleet, you can get in on the action, earn huge Fleet credits to be able to acquire great gear, and enjoy the satisfaction of helping to build up our facilities.

    Enjoy text-based RP? Lotus Fleet has quite the extensive RP on our site. http://www.lotusfleet.org/


    Basically if you are a Trekkie and like gaming, Lotus Fleet has something for you. Join us today! (Oh, and you get to go through this incredibly and free Lotus Fleet Academy...which I had nothing at all to do with creating =P)

    Fellow STOers!

    Do you enjoy STO? (D'uh, you're playing it right?) Well do you enjoy organizing a small team to kick some serious TRIBBLE? Or maybe you even enjoy the mentor role and teach others tricks that you've learned?

    Lotus Fleet has a position for you! All you do is keep playing STO and invite other Fleet Members to play with you. And you get the benefit of a great Fleet Community (RP, Academy, etc.)

    Hey there Starfleet Officers... there is quite a variety of RP activity and opportunity within the Lotus Fleet.

    The stories are creative and true to Star Trek lore and cannon, yet often expand on ideas, events, characters, technology, etc...

    If you always wanted to be an active Starfleet Officer aboard a Starship serving in a specific department... well then look no further.

    The crew of the USS Phoenix is already aboard and beginning the early phases of their Shakedown cruise for this newest federation starship. What is in store for them? That is yet to be seen... but you can follow the action on the RP site.

    The USS Horizon, the flagship of the fleet, has already completed successful transwarp drive tests and is about to launch itself toward DS9 at literally record time/speed.

    There are available positions on each ship for those that like to be involved in Star Trek RP. For example, the USS Phoenix needs a Chief Security/Tactical officer.

    Looking for Events to participate in? Well... in Sorripto's capable hands there are Events to participate in throughout a given week. You can check out our weekly thread of upcoming events and also check out the monthly calendar as well. There is even a thread available for you to put in a request for an Event or to even host an Event yourself or with a teammate.

    We have members in STO virtually everyday. STO players looking for a Fleet are encouraged to look around our active website... sign in... post a message in the Shoutbox... then watch and see all of the members that will appear to greet you. This is probably one of the most organized yet fun fleets that you will find, but we really want to add more active STO players to our fleet! Do you like to lead Missions and STFs? Then come and join in. We would love to add you to our team!

    Our Starbase and Embassy are well underway and progressing daily & weekly as Admiral Athos mentioned above.

    Note: We are NOT a massive fleet filled with anonymous members. Instead, we all interact with each other in-game, through the website, and through RP. We use Skype for messages and actual conversations, and TeamSpeak 3 for official and unofficial meetings, in addition to PMs and email.

    In other words, we are known individuals among the fleet and with each other. The more you participate then the better you will be known and appreciated... just like in the real world.

    Fellow STOers!

    Note: This message has been approved by Admiral Athos. :rolleyes:

    You know what I like about Lotus Fleet? Ever since helping to found this Fleet back in January 2008 (that's right, before STO even launched!), we've always had a great group of people as members. Back in the day, it was a small group but everyone knew everyone else and we all had mature attitudes.

    We slowly expanded by launching the Academy and RP was always there, but as more and more people joined us, we were able to expand RP, start a newsletter, create artwork and team up in games and later in STO once it launched.

    We are not the largest Fleet out there, but if you're looking for a drama-free zone where people are actually interested in how you're doing and want to kick-back and play STO, then Lotus Fleet is definitely for you. We are also open to diversity; it doesn't matter what gender you are, orientation or what country you are from (though we are primarily an english-speaking Fleet), we welcome you.

    Lots of "On the edge of your seat" excitement currently going on in the USS Horizon RP story.

    Meanwhile, the USS Phoenix is warping into a relatively uncharted region of space. Who knows what possibly awaits them there?

    The release of our second Lotus Starbase Newsletter was issued this week.

    It marks the return of our new Newsletter Editor Storm Windfall.

    It was a whirlwind of activity getting this put together by our deadline, but we somehow managed to accomplish this within 24 hours of our goal.

    Here is a link for those interested in reading it http://www.lotusfleet.org/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=447&p=1961#p1961

    The next issue is already in progress :-)

    Note: There is a general live Lotus Fleet meeting on Teamspeak 3 that is open to the public The meeting will commence at 5 PM EST today followed by a Star Trek Audio Quiz.

    "... join your Cardassian Quizmaster for the return of our famous Lotus Fleet Star Trek Audio Quiz. Test your knowledge and ears against your fellow fleetmates as you try and identify audio clips from the Star Trek universe."

    So... join in on the Star Trek interactions occurring beyond STO http://www.lotusfleet.org/index.php

    The newsletter was really well done. Captain Storm Windfall created the original newsletter back in the day, so I'm glad that we've got her back on board for us again.

    The Lotus Fleet meeting went really well. We had 12 people that were able to show up which is great.

    Sorripto was also promoted to the rank of Commander (in Lotus Fleet); congratulations!

    Commander Sorripto led us through a great audio quiz; congratulations to Admial Evshell for winning Gold and Ensign Montgomery for taking Silver. Everyone else had a previous award.

    Lotus Fleet is developing right along. We now have a full tier 2 Dilithium Mine which includes the mine and both facilities, and we have provisions available for consoles and warp cores.

    Though the starbase is not the area of concentration right now, projects are being completed which continues developing the facilities.

    Finally, the Embassy is being upgraded to tier 2. It only requires Fleet Marks and Dilithium and a few are donating here and there as the Embassy is our lowest priority.

    We're starting to see more and more active players which is evident in how quickly our projects are being completed. I've even seen a couple of players that went dormant come back and play.


    So, if you are new to the game, join Lotus Fleet where there is plenty to do. We are not simply a STO Fleet; we are a Star Trek Community that happens to play STO with many other activities on our forums. Check us out for a drama-free Fleet.

    If the answer to that question is a resounding YES then come on over to Lotus fleet.

    From our fleet Admiral, here's a few descriptions about our Fleet:

    "Lotus Fleet is an online community dedicated to Star Trek in general and to Star Trek Online in particular, with strong activities in the text-based roleplaying world and a noticeable presence in several other games and MMOs as well. We also like to stage our own events and activities, in-game and on our lively forum as well and welcome help and involvement as much as enjoyment and fun from all our members and at every levels of our little community."

    He also notes:

    "At Lotus Fleet, we strive for a friendly, mature, relaxed and yet respectful and polite atmosphere, guided by the very principles of openness, tolerance and sharing promoted by the United Federation of Planets and those of honor, integrity and dedication of the Klingon Empire as well. Look at the kind of relationships you saw in Star Trek between the officers of the starship Enterprise and the dynamic, disciplined and respectful attitude of a Worf or a Martok and you have to look no further to see what we are striving for."

    So... if this sounds like your cup of Earl Gray... then follow this link: http://www.lotusfleet.org/index.php
    and look all around our site.
