[Mini RPG] Star Trek: USS Independence

[Alatáriël Pallanén]

USS Independence



The Sovereign-class starship was 685 meters long, and packed a huge amount of equipment, systems, and materials into its 29 decks.

As is traditional, deck numbering descended from top to bottom. At the top of the saucer section was Deck 1, which housed the main bridge. This deck also held the more recent modifications of an observation lounge, a ready room for the ship's captain, and an airlock with attached cabin.

Deck 2 encompassed the first of the many levels of crew quarters, with rooms for the highest-ranking command staff and an officer's mess hall. Decks 3 through 9 featured more officers' quarters, the forward and aft viewing lounges, science labs, the main shuttlebay, conduits for the optical data network, and the vessel's main computer core.

Decks 10 through 14 completed the primary hull of the Sovereign-class starship, and also encompassed forward and aft cargo bays on Decks 10 and 11, and phaser systems on Deck 11. Sensors and the secondary navigational deflector were found on Deck 12.

Deck 14 was largely dedicated to engineering systems, and also featured the lower sensor platform. Decks 15 through 18 comprised the main navigational deflector array and an auxiliary bridge, which was also known as the battle bridge.

Deck 13, which was taken up almost entirely by deuterium fuel tanks, marked the real split between the habitable areas and the engineering and ship's storage sections. Main engineering and its related systems – such as the EPS power tabs, the central matter/antimatter reaction chamber, support labs, and the engineering computer core – were spread over Decks 14 through 18.

Deck 16 also featured the launch and retrieval mechanism for the captain's yacht. The yacht was lowered by a set of gantries until its engines extended to operational position and then it would be free to maneuver.

Moving down to the lowest levels of the ship, Decks 24 and 25 contained the launch and loader mechanisms for the secondary hull's complement of quantum torpedoes and unmanned probes (fore and aft), while Deck 27 housed the fore and aft tractor beam emitters. The antimatter reactant generator and storage pods were housed on Decks 28 and 29, along with the lateral phaser array.

Current Star Date Year: 2380

History and Background Information: Approx. Five Years after the War with the Dominion.

The four major powers of the Alpha Quadrant; the Federation, the Romulans, the Cardassians and the Klingons are still recovering from the Dominion War, political scandals and other forces that had caused a quadrant power vacuum. The Klingon Empire is five years into rebuilding its territory to its pre-Dominion state, whereas the Romulan Star Empire recovers from a major political turmoil from Shinzon's assassination of the Praetor and most of the Romulan Senate. With the Cardassians suffering from the destruction of their homeworld and the destruction of nearly their entire military, the Alpha Quadrant begins to rebuild. Knowledge of the Alpha Quadrant's state has reached the Borg, yet Voyager's intelligence and Captain Kathryn Janeway's virus has left their state unknown.

The USS Independence has been tasked by the United Federation of Planets to venture into neutral territory and pursue a quadrant resource treaty within the Cythera Sector. It is the signing of this treaty that will open an unwelcomed venture of surprises and opportunities.

[Space Jawa]

Dr. Ben Knox [Commander]
Chief Medical Officer
Species: Human

Grew up as a bright child who didn't fully exert his intelligence or talent. At starfleet, continued his general lack of direction, but was able to perform well enough to get above the status of "getting by". Eventually entered the medical field, largely because he needed a designated field, and medical was that which he showed the most promise in. Began to actually exert himself upon his first starship posting, though he did show signs of wishing he'd actually worked towards a different area. To the suprise of some people, he managed to work his way up the ranks to his current position.

[Velora Antana]

Application for: Commander Paul Tigh
Species: Human
Desired Rank: XO
Brief History on Character: Born on Mars, Tigh's father worked at the Utopia Planitia Shipyards. His mother was a history teacher, and the two divorced when Tigh was 17. Torn between whether to follow his mother's lead or his father's, Tigh decided to join Starfleet instead, and scraped 51% in the entrance exam on his third try.

However, he eventually became a competent student, demonstrating practical and leadership skills much more than his decidedly mediocre science ability. He graduated in the class of '34 as the 9th in his class.

After serving on the USS Hood during the war the Cardassians where he reached the rank of Lieutenant, Tigh went on to be the Security Officer on the USS Nebula and then the Tactical Officer on the USS Lakota in 2374, just in time for the Dominion War. The Lakota was heavily damaged in the Battle of Cardassia and scrapped, and Tigh was reassigned to Independence in early 2376.


I'm sorry.

Application for: Neo Sarkkas
Species: Human
Desired Rank: Chief Helmsman:
Brief History on Character:

Neo's family has always had a long line of Naval service, and ever since Cochran's first Wap Flight and the first contact with the Vulcans, that line has stretched out to include StarFleet. His great-grandfather was an engineer on the original NX-01 Enterprise, under Captain Archer. Ever since hearing his grandparents' stories about outer space and the mysteries that it held, Neo has wanted to see the stars.
He joined the academy on Earth and studied Warp Theory and the Impulse Drives of various ship classes, from the Posieden-class to the Constitution-class to the Galaxy-class. He majored in helm and maneuvering when he entered his last year at the academy, and graduated in the upper middle of his class. Now he serves on the Sovereign-class ship Independence, fulfilling his lifelong dream to outrun the stars.
