Simm Rules

1. When creating a new character please remember we are a Star Trek Roleplay group based in the year 2386 and we have a high standard for character bios so please try and match your character name, appearance and history with the species. Consult the web for information or search the wiki for help. Alternatively contact a member of the Command Department for assistance.

2. All crew should login and post at least three times per week in accordance with posting rules. There is always something to do on the simm, you MUST look through the mission logs in order to find it. Department heads/Assistant Department heads including C.O. and X.O. must login and post at least ever day or two each week as it helps to set an example to other members. Failure to do so will result in negative action against you.

3. We have three types of status for characters; * Active means you are actively logging in and posting. * LOA means your on a requested leave of absence. * ELOA means an extended leave of absence you've requested.

If you're gonna be away for any length of time, please notify us immediately.

4. Ensure that all Post's are within PG-15 Guidelines (COPPA)

5. Respect and follow the Chain of Command.

6. If a negative relationship develops between yourself and another crew member contact the C.O. or X.O. and DO NOT abuse the internal Email System to insult or attack in some other form. Breaching of this rule will result in being banned from the site and server.

7. Always remember to have fun and enjoy your experience.
