Belief of the Prophets
Alright, our new mission has kicked off. Just a few notes about it: 1) this mission has nothing to do with Bajorans, so don't take the title to mean that and post about it, and 2) a couple of you have seen the mission outline, but there have been changes,…

Updates
Two things for this announcement. First of all, Obsidian Fleet has started to look at the specifications for some of their ships, among which are the Prometheus-class ships.

Titles
Hey everyone, just make sure that you're putting a title with your posts when you submit them. If there is no title, then there is no way for anyone to get to them from the site.
Also, the server downtime has been moved to Sunday at 9pm. What I said…

Server Downtime
Sorry about the site being down for last 24 hours ... there were a few problems with the server. The downtime came as a surprise, even to the server's owner, which wasn't a good sign. He is now working on a solution that would limit the amount of downtime when…
