It's Outrageous!!!

STAR TREK SUCKS!!!

Star Trek is in terrible need of repair! Gone are the moral stories of The Original Series, the innovation and creativity of The Next Generation and the wonderfully intricate character development of Deep Space Nine. Something must be done!

There is a new movement to get Paramount's attention and toss Braga and Berman out to make room for some new talent at the head of the Star Trek franchise. Star Trek is in terrible need of a makeover, and as long as those two are at the helm that makeover won't ever come.

The idea is to join this movement, print out a form available from the website and then sign it, fill it out and MAIL that form to Paramount Studios. The more copies the heads of Paramount receive, the more impact it will have.

I've already sent mine. Let's save Star Trek while there is still a faint heartbeat left... Get rid of Braga and Berman NOW!!

Ship Updates

After a short life, the experimental Serenity Colony RPG has been discontinued. It seems that a completely leaderless game just isn't viable. Who would have thought... :-) All the remaining games are doing well however. Starbase 901 has issued a truly massive batch of posts and is gearing up for the next chapter of the Mulluran War. The crews of the Leviathan and Taurus are now comfortably united and off on their next adventure. The USS Eagle very quickly got over the loss of their former captain and are currently going up against the Romulan Star Empire with Captain Young at the helm. And the USS Victory continues to produce a steady stream of posts.

In the last few weeks, I have been approached by a couple of people who were thinking of starting new ships, and the near future will reveal whether anything comes of this.
