Welcome to USS Omaha NCC-68022
Excellence Requires Risk
USS Omaha is an Ambassador-class starship, just leaving the refit yards in 2394. At almost forty years old, she may not be quite as glamorous as the newest ships of the line like the Sovereign or Galaxy classes, but once you look past her quirks she's still built to venture past the frontier. The same goes for the crew: a mix of young guns, second chancers, and oddballs looking to prove that they've got what it takes to carry out Starfleet's mission of exploration and discovery.
Join us as we investigate ancient mysteries, delve into strange scientific phenomena, and occasionally get our shirts ripped.

» March(ish) Game Update
Posted on Mon Feb 27, 2023 @ 4:33pm by Captain Jason Faulkner in General News
Hello everyone! It's the end of February and it seems like spring is starting to arrive, so it's a perfect time to get this new mission into gear!
I have added some setting and character information for this mission to the wiki. Please feel free to expand upon it or hit me up by PM/Discord if you have questions. I'd like to see everyone do at least one post in March, preferably as a JP. For March we'll be focusing on our initial arrival and setup for the diplomatic conference on MD1/2. MD3 will have the conference start and someone is going to try to blow it up.
In the mission brief I had some suggestions for setting up but here they are again.
XO / Diplomacy: meeting key figures on the planet such as the leaders of each side and representative of foreign powers, getting a sense for popular sentiment
Ops / Engineering / Science: Preparing the meeting site by providing technical stuff like holoprojectors and replicators, checking the power systems, scanning for potential trouble, installing force fields and transport inhibitors
Medical / Science: becoming familiar with Tolen biology, screening for biohazards
Security: Working with all of the above for checking for trouble, as well as planning out things like guard positions
Any: visit the planet's surface and sight see or interact with the local people
I am available to JP as the captain or any necessary NPCs. And of course there is always any shipboard work or interaction to go for.
Thank you for your patience as we got started and let's try to get this moving!

Hi everyone. I know this simm has always been a bit on the slower side but posting has dropped off again. I apologize for letting things slip and not pushing things forward as much. It seems like this particular mini-mission idea didn't land how I was hoping.
I know this isn't a good time of year to start up a new mission, so what I plan to do is start up a group post for some general interaction, and then after Christmas begin opening up a new plot. I've got an idea for adapting a diplomatic mission that I think can easily involve all the departments. I'll try to have an outline up this week depending on how busy work is, so that you can think about it and offer any comments or suggestions for subplots you might have. As always feel free to chat with me on Discord.
Thanks and have a happy holiday.

Hey everyone, we have a new diplomatic officer! Please welcome back Chris, who is using his character Gairon Jaggar again.

Posted on Thu Sep 22, 2022 @ 2:36am by Captain Jason Faulkner in General News
Here's some post suggestions for the next month or so. I'd like everyone to try do at least one.
1) Prepare for the talent show.
2) Continue scientific investigation of the planet and the aliens.
3) Repairs to the ship's power grid and warp nacelle.
4) As ever, any other kind of interaction or backstory.
This could be individual posts or JPs. I think it'd be fun if everyone could try to do a JP with someone they haven't recently, either using main or secondary characters, but if you want to do something yourself that's fine. I am available to play using my characters or to be an NPC from the rest of the crew.
In-character, the talent show will be one week (MD 7) from the start of the mission. I'll make a post around when we could start the actual show and party stuff in October. That will let me start a new 'real' mission in November-ish. As always, main or secondary plot suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

Hey all,
First off, we have some player changes occurring. Our counselor, Dessa, has departed due to increased RL work commitments. We wish her well. However, we also now have a new Chief Engineer, Sebastien Bilodeau, played by Wesley. Please give him a warm welcome!
We are basically one post away from finishing the current mission. Summer's pretty busy for several of us so at the suggestion of the XO we are doing a short, light-hearted 'filler' episode. An in-character announcement post will be coming this week but the ship is having a talent show. Attendance and fun are mandatory. If you have suggestions for the next 'plotty' mission please feel free to drop me a line.
Thanks for your efforts with posting and so forth lately. I am thinking of ways to recognize the work put into this mission via awards and so forth. In the mean time, keep up the good work!
-Faulkner
