Edict #15
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Since its decommission in 2014, there has been increased interest in a medical ship and players able and willing to play on such an Alt-RPG. To that effect, the USS Ogawa is being recommissioned with the following minorly updated charter. A full crew has been secured, including command positions and GM, and as there is room in Pioneer Fleet, Cale as FComm is willing to host it there- the AFComm has given his approval. The EDir has also confirmed that the McCoy-class spec can be brought out of retirement for use by the USS Ogawa.
CHARTER
The USS Ogawa NCC-64284- A is hereby recommissioned as an alternative role playing area in the Pioneer Fleet. It is to be solely a medical/hospital ship, McCoy-class medical frigate. Its missions are expected to be predominantly (but not limited to) medical in nature and biased toward medical issues and plotlines, and its crew staffing is expected to be biased toward the Medical department.
As the Ogawa is being revived, it is required to pass a 60-day trial period. If it passes, then it will remain a permanent addition to Pioneer Fleet, but if at any time it deviates from the criteria set in this edict, it must be decommissioned. The ship will be reviewed based on the following criteria:
- The Ogawa must maintain an active and healthy roleplaying environment.
- The Ogawa must continue to function as a medical ship.
The Ogawa shall have a similar command structure to other Starfleet vessels, including all standard departments, rank structure, and chain of command. As such, RPG Ranks on the Ogawa will count toward Member Rank the same as on Standard Ships, and CO and XO positions on the Ogawa will count fully towards any limits in place. New members are allowed on the USS Ogawa, provided they make a specific request to the Personnel Department to be on a Medical/Hospital Alt-RPG.
The posting rate for all crew will be at least once every five days.
The ship shall have the following Department Head positions as they exist in Standard RPG areas:
- Chief Engineering
- Chief Science Officer
- Chief of Security
The Ogawa shall also have the following theme-specific positions as Department Heads:
- Chief of Staff
- Chief of Psychiatry
The Chief of Staff shall be the equivalent of the Chief Medical Officer in Standard RPG areas.
The Chief of Psychiatry shall be the equivalent of the CNS or ships Counselor in Standard RPG areas.
The Command team may create additional theme-specific positions as the need or demand arises.
The Ogawa shall have positions for Junior Officers in Engineering, Security and Science as they exist in Standard RPG areas. It shall also have Junior Officers in Counselling reporting to the Chief of Psychiatry and Medical JO positions reporting to the Chief of Staff.
Additional Swing personnel will be possible at the CO’s discretion, including but not limited to the following:
- Nurse
- Medic
- Forensic Pathologist
- Medical Examiner
- Medical Students
- Dental Officers
- Surgeons
