Hey Leviathaners,

February’s fleet report is now available on the command board. I want to just say, again, a huge thank you to every single person onboard for giving the Leviathan her best main fleet month ever in February!

Please find below the various highlights, spotlights and awards and well done to everyone who earned a mention!

CO Thread of the Month:

It’s incredibly difficult to pick a single moment from over 1000 separate posts. But there were two threads in particular this month that brought a huge smile to my face.

In the second of an ongoing series of training threads, our CoS, played by Leonora V, continues to challenge and entertain us all with some truly imaginative scenarios, this time sending us scrambling across an altered gravity assault course - while handcuffed to a fellow player!: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf1/leviathan/posts/119705/

The main storyline of anomaly encounter ‘The Galactic Doughnut’ might have stalled a little this month, due to a key player being unavailable, but I have still hugely enjoyed the ingenuity and co-operation between our pastry-focused away team - CoS Surda (Leonora V), Engineer Jonathan Durheim (William Deaton), Security officer Luna (Christina Crafford) and rogue scientist and expert(ish) pilot Daizi Orin (Ffion Grace) - as they set out in a small shuttle towards the deadliest doughnut known to mankind!: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf1/leviathan/posts/122975/

CO Spotlight:

This month, I would like to shine my spotlight on the role of RTF Captain and the two players who have taken on the challenge so far.

Firstly to Jay Luistro, who has decided to take an in character promotion to a less demanding role, while he continues to juggle his studies and amazing work with the red cross away from the boards. Jay has been a key member of the Leviathan crew from day one and was instrumental in the development of ARU lore, including our research and clearance level hierarchies and also coining the ARU slogan “Keep calm and contain”.
With Erve Manhattan he gave us a solid, determined character through whom the various members of the RTF could ease into their new and less traditional roles, he maintaining a steady and confident hand over the department whilst making plenty of room for other players to improvise as they saw fit. The fact that we have so many characters maintain a ‘side gig’ in the RTF is, in my opinion, a testament to the groundwork lain by Jay.
No matter what size of role he takes onboard the Leviathan in the future, I am sure that his contributions will continue to impress and delight us all and I want to take this moment to thank him for all of his hard work so far and also wish him luck in all future endeavours, both at STF and far beyond!

Secondly to James Sinclair, who made his own mark in the role of RTF Captain from the very nanosecond that he came onboard. His character, the Breen Kodek Vonn, is not only fascinating and brilliantly written, but also quietly intimidating, which is a perfect fit for such a demanding and dangerous role. Vonn has so far proven a popular figure, with crewmembers lining up for his attention and with each interaction, James has delivered not only stellar writing, but also an impressive sense of direction for future dynamics between the characters involved. Behind the scenes he has been as enthusiastic as he is on the board, with several great suggestions for how we can expand the RTF department and bring it to the fore of the Leviathan’s storylines and missions. James is a true force of nature and I am delighted to have him kicking anomaly butt as part of the Levi team!

XO Spotlight:

My first spotlight will have to go to Christina Crafford who alone contributed 272 posts to the ship’s total. An amazing effort on any part from a singular effort.

My next spotlight with goes to James Sinclair who has quite frankly exploded into the Leviathan with his Breen RTF Commander character Chief WO Kodek Vonn! His first post was so good it quiet simply was like watching moths to a flame, I was at first concerned with how a Breen might interact with the crew especially given some of their histories but my word was I not disappointed, James is a fantastic writer and I have no doubt he will take more spotlights in the future.

Foremost Fleet Awards:

None specifically for the Levi this month, but a couple of our crewmembers won awards for their performance on other ships, so we shall vicariously enjoy their brilliance!:
