Ship Histories - more info wanted!
The current Ship Histories can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aAVfskiRdXlBq-mOXvIUycIThf7Xz03tRkhNfAvwWAk/edit?usp=sharing
For those that read through it, you may notice a bit of an issue. Because the main source of recorded information in the club is the edict archive, most of the information contained in the document is biased towards what can be found in edicts: changes to a ship’s name or class, commissioning and decommissioning, fleet transfers, CO appointments, CO promotions, and alt-RPG info.
While that’s great for the skeleton, a lot of the ship’s ‘stories’s are missing. What was unique about a ship? What was a ship’s tradition? What happened behind the scenes? What’s really important to the ship but not recorded in an edict?
If anyone has information that they feel can be added, or want to try to track down information for a ship, please let me know. In addition, a lot of former members might be able to help out with that on both current and former ships, so please feel free to reach out to any former members you might be in touch with that might like to contribute.
Thanks,
Daniel
