Subject: USS Minneapolis needs good crew :

Commanding Officer: Commodore Rolf Emerson

Executive Officer: Captain Frank Castle

Second Officer: Lieutenant Commander Ashata


Premise

The USS Minneapolis A is gearing for its second season that is coming up in
July. We have about three more episodes before the start of our second
season.

The Minneapolis A had a tragic beginning with its first crew when the
original commander, Commander Jason Picard was murdered by Starfleet
traitors Vice Admiral Sharon Van Buren and Commander Mark Richardson. While
the crew tried to make sense of what happened, another captain named Derax
took over for him and vowed to bring the traitors to justice. Both Van Buren
and Richardson switched sides and joined the Krazzle Pumar clan. When they
were accepted into the Krazzle clan Richardson was promoted to Durg, which
is their equivalent of Captain and Van Buren herself was promoted to Ra,
which is a full admiral. For the last nine months, Van Buren and Richardson
have assaulted the crew each chance they got.



Recently, they were responsible for killing Captain Derax in the Gamma
quadrant when it was revealed that they were behind the theft of a powerful
starship. Now, that the Minneapolis is under the command of Rolf Emerson,
the Commodore's new goal is to put these traitors away at any means
necessary

This is where you will come in. We need dedicated officers and crew to join
our ranks and help capture these traitors before they bring Starfleet to its
knees. Word has it that there are ten starships out there that may have
defected to their cause. Why not Join our ranks and help us capture them.

Posting

We are a fast pace ship. Though I only require 2 posts per week, my crew
meets and exceeds that requiment. I think part of the reason is they want to
see how the mission is going to end. So if you want to join us and help
bring the traitors in why not apply


Current Mission


Separate Ways



The Minneapolis must deal with 3 situations. The first one, involving
Commodore Emerson's son; being kidnapped on his homeworld. The Traitor Mark
Richardson is suspected to be behind that. The second involves the NX
Enterprise crewmembers Malcolm Reid and Travis Mayweather accidentally
coming into the 24th century. To complicate matters, the enterprise herself
has arrived with the Suliban in pursuit. The last matter is trying to find
our missing Chief of Operations.





Upcoming Second Season Information BIG SPOLIERS



Like any good story we have a story arc coming up. Our primary mission will
involve weeding out the traitors from Starfleet. Once that is done, a
temporal storm will engulf us and may take us away from Bravofleet to a
strange universe that is very different from our own. So if you like what
you here drop us a line

But since when was Emerson played by Michael Ironsides?

Give a Toupee, and He'd be a Decent Rolf... but he's usually a bad guy... add 30pounds on him, and people would make him Leonard.
