So if you want your character to appear, i need a discription and what they might be doing.
"Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.
> I'm opening a story with my captain entering The Captain's Table and I need a few captain's to populate the bar. She'll be telling her story to Malcolm Renalds from Firefly/Serenity, Han Solo from Star Wars, and Davey Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean, but I need a few more faces so I thought 'why not see if any of the other writers want to have their captain appear?'

Did we do the Crossing Over story as a ULC? I feel like I would have remembered that being one of them.

Here you go:
Oroku Seifer, a joined-Trill and Starfleet Captain from 2410, sat at the table attempting to examine a small, 30cm high, ancient Verathan sub-ossemite statue with no success. The statue was comprised of three sub-ossemite officials in its top half, and a baby with a bilitrium jewel for a head in its bottom half. Seifer smacked the statue a few times against the edge of the table in a failed attempt to open it. "Anyone have a thing? You know, a thing?" he asked to no avail and several shrugs.
More about him:
Seifer's wikia page
How straight-laced are you looking?

As twisted as you would like.

/appeasing the edit monster, due to typing on a Surface keyboard last night
/and now for the all-new typos I introduced. Need more coffee.
I kind of like this crossover-with-our-Captains thing. Would be cool to have more opportunities like this.

Well a couple sorts there - Tervan, a Rigelian science officer first, and a captain about third. You know how the Borg wiped out a lot of Starfleet's command structure, leading to young officers being pushed forward before their time to carry forward the fight? Tervan's not one of the heroes, he's one of those that highlight how desperate things were.
While being concerned with scientific achievements isn't unknown in Starfleet by any means, he'd probably make a much better university administrator than a captain, and does it show. His ship's tend to be more concerned with the efficiency of reports than actual efficiency, but a university wouldn't give him the sort of time on a deep-resonance subspace telescope that control of an advanced starship does. Inexplicably, he keeps rising through the ranks almost as fast as the heroic types, though if you've met Franklin Drake, it makes more sense....
A little more traditional is D'ellian of M'ara, Dahar Master and Orion in KDF service, though often quasi-independent at this point. A fierce fighter, skilled, dedicated to the Empire, and better than she would like to be at the viciousness of Klingon or Orion-style politics.

I had this story in my head for years, and here was the chance to flesh it out. Links upon links upon links.
I hope you enjoy!
