The USS Darwin, GEC-9000 is a Darwin Class Galactic Exploration Cruiser (GEC) starship, assigned to the [[3rd Exploration Group]]. Commissioned and launched in 2415, she is a replacement for and upgrade of a previous USS Darwin unfortunately lost in action shortly after the Darwin Class were first launched.
 
  
Essentially the Darwin Class is an enlarged and modified upgrade of the Luna Class, whose most famous example was the USS Titan under the command of Captain Riker at the turn of the 2380's. Luna-class starships were introduced in 2378, and were the top of the line in the Federation Star Fleet's scientific and exploratory pursuits on behalf of the United Federation of Planets. Each had an average crew of the 350 individuals and was approximately 450 meters long.
+
The USS Darwin, GEC-9000 was Darwin-class Explorer, the sole example of a proposed subclass of the [[Luna Class Reconnaissance Science Vessel]] assigned to the [[3rd Exploration Group]]. She was decommissioned and is currently in storage at [[Surplus Depot Z15]].
 
 
The Luna-class was designed by Dr. Xin Ra-Havreii, of Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on Mars, and initially conceived for scientific exploration of the Gamma Quadrant following the discovery of the Bajoran Wormhole. The project was sidelined by the impending threat from the Dominion, then restarted following the end of the Dominion War.
 
 
 
Their shuttlebays were reminiscent of the old Constitution-class shuttlebays, having a more rounded opening door. They also featured a longer "runway" for shuttles as they entered and exited the ship.
 
 
 
All Luna-class starships were named after moons. The first production lot was named after moons in the Sol system. (ST:T novel: "Taking Wing")
 
 
 
In 2412 the Darwin Class Galactic Exploration Cruiser was launched to take it's place at the forefront of science and exploration for the next 20 or more years service. Following the successful primary testing of the prototype USS Linnaeus, a small number of Darwin class ships were ordered and put into construction. Unfortunately in an increasingly tense period between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire, the Darwin class project was put on hold so that starship construction could focus more on replacing and upgrading Star Fleets military fleets.
 
 
 
The Darwin took the basic space frame of the Luna and enlarged it to make it more capable of conducting exploratory missions of further range and longer duration than existing vessels were able. It took the Luna Class example of exterior 'Pod' mounted on struts over the dorsal side of the saucer but made it more variable in it's uses. This was one of the particular strengths of the old Nebula Class cruiser, where the interchangeable modules could be hotswapped to re-equip the ship depending on the mission type. The Darwin has the variable purpose Pod modules and they can be changed around at a suitably equipped facility within 6 hours. The Pod of particular interest is the Modular Science Lab, which is in itself a self contained two deck laboratory that can be kitted out for a particular mission related function. The MSL is capable of separating from the saucer and operating in planetary orbit, to conduct or monitor experiments for example. The MSL has it's own environmental systems but no weaponry, and only maneouvering thrusters to alter or maintain an orbit.
 
 
 
The Darwin is designed for long term multipurpose missions into uncharted territory. It is equipped with conventional tactical systems but also state of the art propulsion and cutting edge scientific equipment.
 
 
 
Darwin class ships are named after famous scientists and explorers.
 
* The prototype; USS Linnaeus took her name from Earths Carolus Linnaeus, who founded the system of classification of species with binomial latin naming that has endured the centuries since his death.
 
 
 
* The USS Darwin, the first of her class off the production lines after the prototype, was named after another eminent Earth biologist; Charles Darwin, whose theories and philosophies led to the formation of the theory of the Origin of Species and of Natural Selection.

Points Guidelines

1. During a mission: 1.1. Each in-game, player-character (not NPC) post will merit 50 points, provided it meets one of the following criteria (up to a maximum of 400 points per month):
1.1.1. Mission value: A post which helps to move the mission along or helps to develop the storyline.
1.1.2. Post length/quality overall: A post which has full paragraphs and detail. Two-liners do not rate well!
1.1.3. Character building: A post which may not accomplish either of the above but builds the character should be given a higher consideration.
1.2. These are GUIDELINES. DH's should use them when evaluating the posts of their subordinates, and making their recommendations to the FO; who will use the same guidelines when making their recommendation to the CO. Then I will use them as I make any adjustments I feel prudent.
1.3. An additional 100 points may be awarded to any player at the recommendation of the DH, FO, or CO for quality or other reasons. Again, this is subjective.
1.4. Any player who's absence (announced LOA or otherwise) of more than 5 days causes one of the main plotlines on the ship to be held up, or causes other players to be forced to wait on them in the mission, will have points deducted based on the following criteria:
1.4.1. 100 points per 5-day period after the third day of absence;
1.4.2. Additional points as determined by the CO based on the level of disruption.
1.4.3. If the player informs the CO or FO that they will be gone and that their character can be 'hijacked' or placed in a non-pivotal role for that time, then the penalty will be automatically waived. However, in order to receive full points, the player must make a minimum of 8 posts during the rest of the month.
1.5. Any time a player is awarded less than the maximum 500 points recommended for the month; he/she/it will be notified via email from the Captain. This will generally be after points are finalized and sent to the GC.
1.6. Anytime a DH or FO points recommendation is overridden, then the CO will email the FO and associated DH with an explanation as to the alteration and why.
1.7. Points awards issues or questions should be addressed to the CO in email at all times.


2. Non-Mission (shoreleave):
2.1. A simple 50 points per post shall be awarded, up to a maximum of 400; plus the 100 quality judgment.
2.2. LOA's must still be requested, as normal, however points calculations will not account for the missing time unless it infringes upon the beginning or end of a mission.


3. Department Head (DH) points:
3.1. The rules allow for up to 100 points per month for DH duties as judged by the CO.
3.2. These points are a combination of two administrative aspects of your duties as a DH:
3.2.1. Keeping your subordinates involved and posting. This accounts for 50 points per month-prorated.
3.2.1.1. In a mission, this means that they have something to do , regardless of the mission parameters. As a senior player, a DH should ALWAYS be able to find something to keep their people busy.
3.2.1.2. Outside of a mission, this includes helping them (as necessary) to come up with subplots or involving them in other activities in game.
3.2.2. Performing administrative duties. This accounts for 50 points per month-prorated.
3.2.2.1. Submitting points at end of month, prior to the 21st of each month at midnight site time, unless otherwise instructed by the CO or FO. You should NOT need to be reminded to do points.
3.2.2.1.1. Missing points one month will result in a 25-point positional deduction;
3.2.2.1.2. 2nd consecutive month will result in a 50-point positional deduction; and may also result in being put on probation for your position at the discretion of the CO in consultation with the FO.
3.2.2.1.3. 3rd consecutive month will result in 100-point positional deduction (no positional points) and and removal from your DH position.
3.2.2.1.4. While it is true that from time to time real life may get in the way of submitting your points, a consistent, yet non-consecutive pattern of failing to submit points properly and on time will warrant serious discussion regarding the application of the above deductions.
3.2.2.2. Submitting an RPG'er recommendation for the month. Recommending NO ONE is valid, provided you explain it. If you simply do not mention RPG'er at all, you will have 20 points deducted from your positional points.
3.2.2.3. With your points and RPG'er you are asked to provide a briefing on your subordinates (This should at least include character's location and assessment of posting quality) and the department (what is going on, in general) and why you recommended RPG'er.
3.2.2.4. Keeping in contact with crew members who are not posting regularly.
3.2.2.4.1. If you see one of your subordinates not posting for 5 or more days, drop them a friendly line asking them if everything is OK, etc.
3.2.2.4.2. Contacting crew for various reasons at the request of the CO or FO.


4. First Officer (FO) points:
4.1. FO is awarded up to 200 points per month at the discretion of the CO.
4.2. Points are based on the above, plus:
4.2.1. Accepting points recommendations from the DH's and processing them.
4.2.2. Providing a points recommendation update and crew update to the CO on or before 23rd of each month except where changed by the CO.


5. Commanding Officer (CO) points:
5.1. CO is awarded up to 300 points per month at the discretion of the GC and CinC.
5.2. Points are based on all of the above, plus:
5.2.1. Processing points from the FO and submitting to the GC prior to 25th of each month except where ordered otherwise.
5.2.2. Administrative duties relating to mission, timelines, etc.
