"Growf!"
Note: There have been some updates to this Description. They will be in the first post of the Main IC Thread.
USS Athena
NCC-74925
Officers 300
Enlisted850
(At least two-thirds of these MUST be Terran/Human.)
The newly commissioned USS Athena is supposedly a new class of starship called the Sojourner, but the deck plans correspond to a Sovereign Class ship. Officially it is a Sovereign XQ ship, a prototype. It has a number of new technologies installed.
Note: I chose this ship mainly for the beautiful deck plans. However, there have been several major alterations. I also had in mind a larger vessel, closer to the Galaxy class - and meaner looking. (The Sovereign class had 23 decks vs the Galaxy class’ 42.) The main thing is that there will be NO FAMILIES and about 1000 crew. If I could find Enterprise D blueprints that were linkable, I’d use it.
Deckplans
Technical Data
Edit: And found some Specs and Deck info for the Odyssey Class, which fits a heck of a lot better, just no deck plans. Bummer, but not necessary. The concept comes closer to what I had in mind for functionality.
Odyssey Class
Specs
Special Auxiliary Craft
In addition to Runabouts, etc, there is a classified Prototype vessel, the SS Prometheus that belongs to Rhand. Only he and Diane have access to it. (This is NOT the USS Prometheus, which is also a Federation ship in canon sources. It was actually built almost 400 years ago.)
Timeline
I am going to be using a non-retconned timeline, with the Eugenics War taking place in the late 1990’s. So yes, the RP history will vary a lot from even current history.
Ranks
Starfleet ranks
We will be in the year 2387.
Dr Jonathan Rhand
There is at least one civilian on board with a Provisional Rank of Captain. However, the rank is VERY provisional and applies to matters of engineering or must fall in line with StarFleet protocols. The PC is a young man, a mere 32 years of age. He graduated StarFleet Academy in two years in 2382, but declined his commission and instead adopted the civilian title of Doctor. He was offered numerous research positions which he also declined and instead pulled a vanishing act, possibly joining Section 31.
Five years later he returned with the Athena. Despite his provisional rank, he prefers to adopt the title of Doctor or simply his name. (He understands the importance of chain of command and that there needs to be one captain.) His primary duties are those of a Scientist Engineer, assuming responsibility for the experimental or “black box” technologies. (The Chief Engineer will probably not like this.)
Edit: Updated age to 32. (He was 25 when he was first encountered by the Federation. It has been 7 years.)
Diane Miller
There is a second civilian with a provisional rank of Commander. She also attended Star Fleet, but followed the cue from the Doctor. Her skill specialties are in computer engineering and linguistics. She has also made a serious study of psionics and spent two years at the Vulcan Academy. Her official role is that of cybersecurity and psybersecurity. She also serves as First Officer when aboard the SS Prometheus.
The Rest of the Crew
I will be looking for group members to assume the roles of the command personnel. There will be NO FAMILIES. However, officers are allowed to bring spouses. For obvious reasons.
There WILL be an EMH. There are also similar Security personnel to augment biologicals. (Diane calls them Stormtroopers.) Also, there will be similar ‘civilian’ roles assumed by holographic personnel. Yes, they all have mobile emitters.
Please, no Androids, or Founders. I love the characters Data and Odo as much as anyone.
I welcome some original races, but keep their influence on the Alpha Quadrant minor. Should you choose to create such a race, you will also need to submit a CS for them as well to place in Lore.

This is the sort of thing I am looking for in a CS. No, not so detailed. I can only read so many books. And most characters will be a lot younger with careers only so far along. Feel free to use a face claim. Use Spoilers, Tabs, or whatever formatting you can. I may create a Blank CS from this - though it won’t be as pretty.
Missions
GM Guided is a tag in use here. This means I will be running StarFleet Command. From time to time the ship will get orders. I will have a situation prepared. I may ask some of the group to temporarily adopt some NPC role for the scenario to give it a personality other than mine.
I have NOT watched Picard, nor played Star Trek: Online. That said, I am NOT going to use anything from those as canon.
One mission I am considering is a trip to Andromeda. Jury is still out on that one.
Another story arc may be one of time travel. The USS Athena is equipped with a temporal shield. If history is altered, the ship will be shielded from the changes.
Edit: Clarification - My two characters mentioned above are NOT senior officers aboard the Soujourner - only on the Prometheus, which belongs to them.
