ALL SIM MEETING
Friday 17 December 2010 15:00 SLT

Due to the stalled roleplaying and some changes in the sim structure we have decided that it is best that the current storyline be restarted. Now that does not mean that some of the awesome storylines you have seen of late will not occur again, they will. You are even encouraged to re-start your current personal roleplaying scenarios, but maybe a tad different.

In order to give everyone a chance to give comments and ask questions, we will be hosting an all sim meeting at 15:00 SLT on Friday 17 December. Everyone interested is encouraged to come.

On the agenda will be:
-How we are ending the current storyline;
-Starting date for the next storyline;
-Contest to name the new Battlegroup ships;
-A more detailed background to the new storyline.

Below is the background to BSG 21 3.0.

The TWELVE COLONIES(R) has undergone a transformation in the past twenty years. Our government, caught between scandal and terrorist attacks is in shambles. Our people are dealing with an economy on the brink of collapse.

It has been sixty years since the last of the skirmishes against the CYLONS(R). Last year we retired the last ship from that war, the GALACTICA(R), and used her remains for spareparts. Our military machine grows as numerous battlestars and patrolstars are sent between the worlds to catch smugglers, terrorists and corrupted minds.

The Mercury class battlestars are considered the current mainstay of the Colonial Fleet. They are dispatched to various roles from safeguarding the mining settlements in the Herculean Asteroid cluster to patroling our borders. The class' namesake, Mercury is undergoing upgrades right now at the Scorpia Shipyards.

The Twenty First Battlestar Group currently consists of the Mercury and her assisting ship the Patrolstar Dadelius (Renaming contest to be held for new name). The Dadelius is a fast ship capable of medium range FTL and sports the newest in Colonial Warbirds.

Also docked at the shipyard is the Agricultural Corporation of Virgon (AGROCORP) Freighter the Demeter (Renaming contest to be held for new name). The Demeter houses agricultural reserves, research and growing facilities along with administrative procurment offices for the Civillian Defense Forces on the shipyard.

ROLES:
Civillian: AGROCORP CEO, Director of Security, Director of Resaerch;

Freighter Captain, Freighter Engineer, Paramilitary Security Force members;

Bartender, Medical Doctor, Bridge Officer.

Military: Battlestar CO, XO, Comms Officer, CIC Crew, Doctor, Physician Assistant;

Engineering Crew, Deck Crew, LSO, Deputy CAG, Squadron CO & XOs, Pilots;

Patrolstar CO, XO, Senior Watch Officer, Flight Surgeon, CIC Crew, Stealth Ops Pilots.

The president has been returned to power  by Commander Daigan Juran.

The Admiral, suspected of insanity and seeing hallucenations is restricted to quarters after a climactic confrontation with the president on Saturday evening.

The Mercury is disabled and not able to jump after a devestating boarding during which the cylons bombed CIC and destroyed half of the ships ammunition supply. The cylons left mysteriously after the air wing cut off their flow of new centurions and supplies but with near full control of the battlestar. The question is why did the cylons retreat and not finish off the Mercury.

All people with skills are being summoned to Mercury to assist in emergency repairs.

Raider attacks authorized 24/7. Next major attack 6 p.m. Tuesday.
