Edict #11
December 1, 2020
This edict supersedes Johnson-2 #9.
The Independence-class USS Sentinel, NCC-1794-A, is hereby recommissioned in the Meridian Fleet as a “Star Trek: The Original Series” (“TOS”)-era Alternate-RPG Area.
The USS Sentinel will be structured the same as a Standard Ship and shall be commanded by a CO and XO who are appointed the same way as on a Standard Ship and a GM who is appointed the same way as a Standard Ship. The Sentinel shall be set in the time period of year 2250 to 2270, with the exact game year set by the ship’s CO in consultation with the ship’s GM.
Missions and characters should adhere as closely as possible to the canon of the time period with respect to concepts including, but not limited to:
Technology
Known Races
Relationships between the United Federation of Planets and other known powers
Canon for the TOS-era shall be defined by both Star Trek: The Original Series as well as any other live-action Star Trek movies and television series depicting the same time period.
The crew of the USS Sentinel shall be structured in a manner consistent with the TOS-era. The CO may rename a Department Head position, and may add additional swing positions so as to maintain a TOS-era RPG environment, but there shall be a security department, a science department, a medical department and an engineering department. The USS Sentinel’s XO shall concurrently hold a Department Head position.
CO and XO positions on the Sentinel will count fully towards any limits in place. The Sentinel will not accept new members to STF; it is a Second Character Only ship.
The current CO and crew of the USS Sentinel are retained in their current positions aboard the ship. The Sentinel is currently in service and is hereby confirmed to be successful by the following criteria:
The Sentinel has maintained an active and healthy role-playing environment.
The Sentinel has continued to function as a TOS-Era ship.
If the Sentinel deviates from this criteria in the future, it will be subject to decommissioning.
