Welcome to the U.S.S. Newcastle.

The year is 2387, the Newcastle is the second vessel in Starfleet to use the Multi-Skin Cloaking Device, developed by Starfleet Research and Development in combination with assistance from the Romulan Democratic System.

Starfleet has tasked the Newcastle with being an independent starship under the Hazard Operations Division of Starfleet Intelligence. There mission to provide diplomatic and defensive aid within the Alpha Quadrant to their allies. With fears mounting that another war maybe near by, Starfleet Command looked for the most experienced officers to safeguard the welfare United Federation of Planets.

The USS Newcastle is named after the City of Newcastle located in the North East of England on Earth. The city dates back to the 2nd Century on Earth's calender. A city that has seen war, disease and commerce. This ship was given the name Newcastle after the Construction Yard Chief, Master Chief Petty Officer William McVey. Fitted with new tactical systems and the latest technologies from Starfleet's Research and Development Division, the Newcastle is built to put down any resistance from its enemies.

I am Captain Timor Belar and it is my mission to see my crew safely through all they may encounter. I hold honour, friendship and perseverance as the highest of all ideals and I expect nothing less from my crew. Through our efforts we will maintain our focus and determination to prevent any unexpected foe from taking any of our territories or any loss of Federation lives. Together we'll show our adversaries how much one ship, even a small ship, can make a difference!

Like what you see? Then join us! Be part of a larger adventure and show us what you're made of. We're waiting for you!

And finally, don't forget to read our rules before you apply!

Dear crew,

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for returning after the New Year. I would like to try and increase the recruitment and activity of the crew throughout this year.

We have updated the ships class to an Aerie Class. This is roughly the same size as a Defiant Class but appears weaker at least on the outside. We have updated the Deck Listing and the Ships Tour (To Be Completed) so please familiarise yourselves with these.

Just before Xmas we lost our Commanding Officer, Chief Helm Officer and Chief Medical Officer. Thus changes have been made which we hope will improve things. I hope that crew morale will not decrease, in fact I hope we move swiftly forward in our new mission called Discovery.

Remember if you have ideas for a Mission or a Sub-Mission please feel free to contact me. We will be giving out awards to Best Poster of the Month and Best Recruiter of the Month so get to work people. Promotions might not come as quickly as they did in the past. If you want to get promoted you need to be very active and have a high quality of mission/personal logs.

Take care and if you have any problems feel free to contact myself or my Executive Officer.

Kindest regards,

Captain Timor Belar
Commanding Officer
USS Newcastle NCC-91928-A

» Change of Simm Type/Roll Call

Posted on Wed Oct 26th, 2011 @ 2:10pm by Captain Timor Belar in Simm Announcement

Dear members of the USS Newcastle formerly part of the Hazard Tactical Wing in Second Life.

We have decided to bring the simm site back to PBeM based roleplay. This means to roleplay you must be logged into the site in order to roleplay with us. We are however putting together a forum where plot lines and mission ideas can be discussed.

I am asking for all members who are currently part of this site to report in by logging in and contacting me if you wish for your position to be changed and to what position. If that position is currently filled and the Officer in that position doesn't report in at roll call they will be moved to the inactive roster, then their position will be re-evaluated.

I hope to hear from you all soon, sending me a private message would help when you report in for Roll Call.

Regards,

Commander Timor Belar
Executive Officer
USS Newcastle NCC-91928-A
