Welcome to the USS Albion!
Welcome to the USS Albion (NCC-3020), a Star Trek role play-by-post/email sim set in the TNG/DSN/VOY era. The Albion is a Galaxy-class starship with a mission of deep space exploration. We like to push the boundaries of our imaginations and delve into areas & ideas that haven't yet been traveled.
This game continues the simming tradition of Independence Fleet's historical USS Avalon. Please see the Sim tab for more information as the Albion is somewhat of an acquired taste.
Otherwise, we would love to have you Join our Adventure!
Sim Content Rating:
This closely corresponds to PG-13 from film ratings.

» What a month!
Posted on Tue Mar 2nd, 2021 @ 6:26pm by Captain Dick Sprague in General News
Crew,
What a ride we had in our first month of operation! Launching on February 16th and with just 13 days, we wrote an astounding 108 posts--which is the exact total the USS Avalon had in its first month of July 2001. We're also already wrapping up our first mission.
Everybody contributed to what we accomplished and it's amazing how quickly you all picked up the open/script formats. This sim is going exactly the way it should. Let's keep the fun going...
Expect to see awards nominations soon.

» 24-Hour Rule
Posted on Wed Feb 24th, 2021 @ 12:37am by Captain Dick Sprague in General News
Crew,
Just a quick reminder about the "24 hour rule." Instead of talking about it, I'll just quote from our Rules page:
"24 hour rule: Players cannot post twice in a row unless at least 24 hours have passed. This applies separately for Mission Posts and Personal Logs.
What this does NOT mean:
- You can't post twice in less than 24 hours (You can if someone else posts between your two posts)
- You can't post until someone else follows your post with another post (You can if it's been at least 24 hours since your last post)
- You can't post a Personal Log if you just posted a Mission Post (You can because the 24 hour rule for Mission Posts only applies for Mission Posts; Likewise, the 24 hour rule for Personal Logs only applies to Personal Logs)"
If you have any questions, please let me know.
-Capt. Sprague
» The Difference Between Mission Posts & Personal Logs
Posted on Tue Feb 23rd, 2021 @ 9:35pm by Captain Dick Sprague in General News
Crew,
Pretty simple:
Mission Post: where you advance the story using the characters.
Personal Log: where your character reflects on or simply records what's happening. Think of it like a "Captain's Log" from Star Trek.
All players are expected to read and keep up with the Mission Posts. Players can choose whether or not they read the Personal Logs. As such, please don't put important plot details necessary to the story *exclusively* in Personal Logs. If it affects the story, it needs to be in a Mission Post.
