Edict #2
August 18, 2020
It is my pleasure to present the charter for our newest Alt RP: the USS Leviathan. I really appreciate how willing Sharon was to put herself out there in Command with a new and creative idea and I truly appreciate the amazingly productive discussion that ensued. I’m so excited to add a new opportunity for our club members to explore.

Overview
The USS Leviathan, NX-90407, a Mjolnir-class ship, is hereby commissioned in Foremost Fleet. The USS Leviathan is a starship-based role-playing area set within a classified Starfleet division called the ARU (Anomaly Recovery Unit). Activity on the ship will centre around the daily routines of the ARU members and the anomalies they are regularly sent to contend with.
The USS Leviathan will remain an active role-playing area, provided that it meets the following criteria:
It maintains a healthy roleplaying environment with a crew who remain largely within the outlined AWOL guidelines
It continues to deliver stories and scenarios based within the world of the ARU and anomaly capture and containment
Any command or senior staff vacancies are filled within 14 days where possible
The ability of the USS Leviathan to deliver a healthy environment will be reviewed every 90 days for a period of 1 year (a total of 4 reviews). If, after this period has concluded, the USS Leviathan continues to deliver a healthy, roleplaying environment, then it will be fully approved with no further review periods necessary.
Crew Structure
The USS Leviathan shall have a similar command structure to other Starfleet vessels, including all standard departments, rank structure and chain of command. Additional swing positions may be added under the CO’s discretion, without being limited to demands of canon positions, but maintaining the ARU focus of the environment. Examples might include:
RTF Commander
RTF Operative
Novel Researcher
Senior Researcher
Consultant Researcher
CO and XO positions on the Leviathan will count fully towards any limits in place. Character ranks on the Leviathan will count toward member rank the same as on Standard Ships.
The Leviathan will be a second character ship only and will not accept new club members. The posting rate for all crew will be that of a medium paced ship (3/5/7 days).

The Leviathan’s MOTD is to include relevant information on the ARU. This may include, but is not limited to, the following:
