Equipment

Procedures

Omega Signal

The Omega Signal is issued as a last resort when a mission is on the verge of catastrophic failure. Simply put, once the Omega Signal has been issued it is every Operator for themselves. Operators scatter and attempt to evade pursuit and capture before rendezvousing at a pre-arranged "Omega Site".

Blacklight Protocols

Blacklight Protocols are engaged when stealth is required but the stealth system is not or cannot be activate. Exterior lights are extinguished, heat-resistant sheaths are extended over the warp nacelles and impulse exhausts, and shutters are automatically closed over every viewport.

Combined with the Apparition's black hull-plating, this allows the ship to be rendered virtually invisible against a starry backdrop. Sensor scramblers may be engaged, giving the impression that the vessel is simply a sensor ghost or a hole in space.

Code Black

Code Black is issued when the stealth system is engaged. The stealth system requires a great deal of power to maintain, and many systems are taken offline while it is active. This, in combination with the need to not draw attention to the ship, requires the following:

• Replicators, communications and transporters are offline
• Intra-ship communication is by combadge only.
• No active sensors in use. Only passive scans are allowed.

Ship's Manual

How Points Are Awarded

1.1 Monthly Points
1.1.1 Players are expected to post a minimum of twice weekly. Each post made by a player will count as 50 points towards their monthly total (up to a total of 400 points).
1.1.2 Qualifying posts must be written with full paragraphs and contain detail. Short posts of three or four lines will not be counted towards the monthly total.
1.1.3 Additional points of up to 100 will be awarded for quality of posting.

1.2 Department Head Points
1.2.1 Department Heads receive up to 100 positional points each month for performing the duties required of them in the Constitution. In order to earn those points, DHs must turn in points recommendations for their department along with an RPGer nomination by the end of the 18th each month, site time.
1.2.2 If a DH has not submitted points by that deadline, they will be docked 50 points. They then have until the end of the 21st, site time, to submit them or risk losing all positional points for the month.
1.2.3 DHs who fail to turn in the required points and RPGer nomination by the end of the 21st will receive no positional points for the month.
1.2.4 Site time refers to the time shown on the main board.

Leaves of Absence

2.1 If a player is to be away from the site for more than 7 days, they are required to announce a Leave of Absence, either by posting on the ship or by sending an email to their superior officer.
2.2 Players whose LOA causes disruption of the game will have their characters hijacked at the CO's discretion to help move along the plotline.
2.3 Players who request LOA will have the twice weekly posting quota waved, but they must make a minimum of 8 posts during the month to receive the full 400 points.
