So awhile back a few friends of mine started work on this site called "23rd Fleet". It's designed to be a more intimate (smaller ships) roleplaying environment than most "big ship" Star Trek sites, with some weird premises thrown in. 23rd has that same mission-based format a lot of Star Trek RPers are familiar with.
Without further ado: the premise...
Located far from the heart of the Federation in the Icor sector; bordered by both the Gorn Hegemony, the Tholian Assembly, and is not far off from the Klingon Empire.
The 23rd Fleet is unofficially called “the Menagerie” because, while on paper it is a traditional fleet, it is actually a loose collection of special ships either on special missions or undergoing testing. The 23rd Fleet includes things like experimental ships, captured enemy vessels, and new ship designs. The Menagerie is perhaps the strangest fleet in existence but at the same time the most vital one to the future of the Federation.
Motto: “Non progredi regredi est” (“Not going forward, is going backwards”)
The starting ship is going to be the USS Bathory- a K'Vort Class Klingon Bird of Prey captured by the Federation and Captained by a old (almost retired) Captain who just got busted down from the admiralty because he was sleeping with the Admiral's wife.
So yeah- that's the kind of setup we are going for. This is the "dirty dozen" of Trek. We're not "nice", the prime directives TEND to go out the window, but we are definitely... going where no Star Trek RP has gone before ;-)
Another interesting thing is that we are doing a kind of open "submit a ship idea" option. If you can bring a few people together you can start your own SIMM and it's kind of sink or swim for it (with admin support of course).
First ship is almost full so we are accepting pitches for a 2nd ship!
