Edict #7:
“Where everyone else sees a straight line, you see a maze, and when I’m done talking to you, the maze starts to make more sense”
The Fleet Commander of the Foremost Fleet and the Commanding Officer of the SS Bonaventure have agreed to the following changes to the Bonaventure’s charter.
SUPERCEDENCE OF PREVIOUS EDICTS
Edict Herr 1 #34 is hereby rescinded and superceded by this edict.
SS BONAVENTURE CHARTER
The SS Bonaventure NCC-01 is hereby recommissioned as an alternative role-playing area in the Foremost Fleet. It is recommissioned as an Enterprise-Era, Bonaventure-II Class frigate. Its missions are expected to be predominantly exploration in nature and biased toward Enterprise-Era and canon historical issues and plot lines, and its crew staffing is expected to reflect the Enterprise-Era in posting, available races and tech utilization.
The Enterprise-Era is defined as the period of 2149 to 2161, as this takes into account the launching of the SS Bonaventure, the Enterprise Season 1 to 4 and the Season Finale of the series.
The Bonaventure is already in active service and is hereby confirmed to be successful as an Enterprise-Era frigate. It will continue to be judged by the following criteria:
-The Bonaventure must maintain an active and healthy roleplaying environment.
-The Bonaventure must continue to function as an Enterprise-Era frigate.
As the Bonaventure is already an established RPG Area, it will not be required to pass a trial period. It will therefore remain a permanent addition to Foremost Fleet, but if at any time it deviates from the criteria set in this edict, it must be decommissioned.
The Bonaventure shall have a command structure similar to Enterprise-Era vessels, including all standard departments, rank structure, and chain of command. As such, RPG Ranks on the Bonaventure will count toward Member Rank the same as on Standard Ships, and CO and XO positions on the Bonaventure will count fully towards any limits in place.
There are changes to the names of the Department Heads as following:
-Chief Security Officer = Armory Chief
-Executive Officer = Executive Officer and Comm Officer
Additional Swing personnel will be possible at the CO’s discretion, including but not limited to the following:
-MACO (Marine Specialist)
-Shuttle Pilot
-Linguist
-Recreation and Morale Officer
-Master Mess Specialist Coordinator
The current CO and crew of the SS Bonaventure are retained in their current positions aboard the ship. The CO may be removed at some later date in accordance with the rules of the site, without penalty to the Bonaventure herself.
-Kat, President
==================
CHARTER CHANGE LOG (Not for archiving as part of the edict, but for information only):
- Removal of the second paragraph (single sentence) which states: “if for any reason it should change her class, it must be decommissioned”.
This was removed because it was redundant language on the basis that one of the criteria for the Bonaventure to continue to exist is that it must continue to operate as an Enterprise-era frigate.
-
Inserted in place of the second paragraph (single sentence) is a new paragraph that clearly defines the Enterprise-era as being between 2149 and 2161 and the reasoning for this change.
-
Reference to USS Bonaventure, in the last paragraph, changed to reflect the ships name of the true name of the ship, SS Bonaventure, instead.
-
First sentence of the first paragraph and second sentence of the fourth paragraph changed to reflect the Bonaventure will continue to operate in the Foremost Fleet as the First Fleet no longer exists as per Bates Edict #9. Other references to Fleet 1 within the edict are changed to Foremost Fleet as well.
