Starbase Catan (WIP Discussion Thread)

Starbase Catan.
A Wild Frontier.
Resources to exploit and new civilizations to discover.
Competing explorers and corporations wanting pieces of everything.
And a lone outpost to bring order and peace to chaos.

OOC Info: This is a project in two parts, a fanfic and an RP campaign that informs & guides the fanfic.
What I consider STO-canon-plus; in other words, adding ships and other details from other licensed works as if they are already integrated into STO's story & continuity.
More details coming soon.

@baddmoonrizin & @starswordc please move this thread from the Captain's Table sub-forum to the Ten Forward forum. Thank you!
