The Interstellar Revolution [Recruitment]-Restaffing

[Cathexis]

Earth has gone through a number of technological and societal revolutions�the Neolithic Revolution, the Green Revolution, the Biotechnological Revolution, the Industrial Revolution. All were carried out by those who worked towards advancement in technology and economic, agricultural, and societal practices. But perhaps none was so instrumental as�

An adventure for the history books.



Join the adventures of the Organization of United Earth States Space Navy�s (OUESSN) first interstellar exploration craft, the Star Voyager. An entire arm of the galaxy awaits you. What will it have in store for you?

Recent Earth History:
World War III began in 2012�a massive war of proportions greater than World War II, with a few nuclear warheads thrown among a few countries along the way.
As happened historically as a result of World War II, a new world organization was created, only this time it was a far more supranational organization. The Organization of United Earth States (OUES) was created, encompassing each state of the Earth after peace had been achieved in the post-war World Peace Pact of 2015. Thusly, in 2020 the OUES was created.


(Organization of United Earth States OFFICIAL Flag)

While each state maintained its own sovereignty on certain issues, the majority was handed over to the new World Government�including all military matters, though each state was allowed to have a certain number of their own defense forces. And hence, with international affairs, for the most part, nonexistent, emphasis and focus could be placed on space.
In 2024 the United Earth Space Agency was created, dedicated to �exploring the final frontier.� Within this new space agency would soon exist what would later be titled the �United Earth Space Navy,� (�Space Navy,� for short) the driving force within the Space Agency, dealing solely in actual Starcraft created by the organization.
The agency launched its first manned spacecraft in 2028. Its mission: to go to the moon, which had not been done since the 1969 Apollo 11 mission. The mission was a success. Following this, UESA launched its Atlantis Space Station project, creating a new, larger, more comprehensive space station to orbit Earth than was the International Space Station, which had ceased to operate since the 2012 war. The station would be the staging ground for the first Earth interstellar spacecraft.
Atlantis Station was completed in 2042 and boasted a massive size unseen in past space stations. There 100 people could live for up to five years without aid from below, or 300 for 1.5 years, changing Earth forever.
It was the staging point for three new space shuttles launched from 2045 to 2050, bringing supplies to the moon for the creation of a new colony. It was a new age for the planet. A new Revolution was afoot. The Interstellar Revolution had begun.

But nothing prepared the planet, in that remarkable span of time, for what would happen in 2051. UESA designers had, for the past 6 years, been researching and designing a new, massive interstellar spacecraft which they dubbed the Star Voyager project.
In 2051 the next phase of the project began.
Chancellor James O�Reilly, chief of state for the planetary government, announced the start of production on the Star Voyager project which would, in his words, �bring upon a new age for the People of Earth.� It took 11 years to complete construction on the �starcraft,� so that all the flaws may be rectified, and alas, it was done, and the Interstellar Revolution made its way to glory that was never before seen...

Starcraft History: 2062 would be a day long in infamy for the people of Earth.
UESA designers had, for six years, beginning in 2045, been researching and designing a new, massive interstellar spacecraft which they dubbed the Star Voyager project.
In 2051 the next phase of the project began.
Chancellor James O�Reilly, chief of state for the planetary government, announced the start of production on the Star Voyager project which would, in his words, �bring upon a new age for the People of Earth.� The �starcraft,� dubbed the Star Voyager, began construction at its design location, the United Earth Space Agency Headquarters in Colorado, United Provinces of America. After only three years of production, when there was much to be done, it was decided that it was all but necessary to continue production in space, at the Atlantis Station. And so the craft, in a specialized capsule and state taking two years to build (as well as to construct additional facilities on the station), was launched to Atlantis.
There the Star Voyager underwent several more years of construction and testing, and in 2062 the first interstellar starcraft was complete.
In a grand ceremony the crew of 150 was called forth to Atlantis to await its destiny as the first of a new line of spacecraft�the Exploration-line starcraft�and the first interstellar spaceship to leave the planet Earth�

ALSO NOTE: This is a family-having ship. There are crewmembers with families present, so please talk to us beforehand if you wish to have a family present for your character.

Just wanted to say, this RPG promises to be great.
There's a whole new universe for us to work in. There are numerous opportunities that Star Trek can't offer because it's just not there. This is a new starship, created by Earth, and will be move naturalistic science fiction, meaning more realistic. It'll have action and violence and family and friendship and all those good things in a sci-fi series--and more.
Therefore, I highly suggest that you at least consider joining up! That is, if you can follow that first General Order up there...
And if we get those Command Staff positions filled, you'll be able to play other characters in subordinate positions, breeding even more opportunities!

[Republican_Man]

Great! Just try to keep up the best you can...I think you'd make a good Marine. Plus, on missions and fighter stuff, you'll be used. Defense Officer means manning the ship's tactical systems. I think you'd be good with Marines, perhaps. But let's see what other people want before making a final decision.

And yay! Tuvok8917, I say welcome aboard! And I'm sure Cathexis does as well.

[Tuvok8917]

Yay, thank you. Let's hope that others will join as well

[Republican_Man]

One problem with your bio, though... "Heavy Cruiser Dagod�n in the sector Navigation"

We're the first mass-manned interstellar starship. Do you mean to say that that's a spaceship or a regular ship that would be on water? I'm sure it's a boat ship, but I just wanna be sure.
If you want it to be space, then there were other smaller test craft that were sent out before, and they would have had navigators.

[Captain.Dan V2]

Hey dude, I suppose marine but if noone takes defense I'll take it. When do we start posting ? As soon as we have a full command crew ?

Now, the thing with Revolution is, clearly, it's not Trek, so you get to take current technologies for medicine and advance them to have some Trek tech if you want and all that. And you can make up your own stuff, too (just not too unrealistic)

[Cathexis]
