Posted on Thu Feb 23rd, 2012 @ 5:42am by Admiral Michael Tabolt in General News
Hello and welcome to the Quicksilver Fleet Newsletter. My name is Admiral Michael Tabolt, and although I am the Director of Fleet Operations for Quicksilver Fleet; for the next few weeks I am assisting Admiral Wilson with her task throughout the fleet. If you have anything that you would like to share with the fleet, please email me at admiraltabolt@quicksilverfleet.com, or forevertrek@gmail.com

Quicksilver Fleet is always interested in adding new ships. If you wish to do so, however; please keep in mind that you must maintain four posts a month on your current ship. Also, you will need to recruit four people, preferably outside the fleet.

PRIME DIRECTIVE
As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Star Fleet personnel may interfere with the healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes the introduction of superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Star Fleet personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral Obligation.

Just a reminder, all crew biographies are to be complete BEFORE simmers post. Please check your crew and make certain everyone has done this, if not give them a mandated time to have this done...no later than 4 days from this newsletter.
Also, if any crew has an original species they have two weeks to submit a completed history to the Admiralty for approval.
Thank you,
Admiral Olvera

When creating a species it is required that you fill out a bio sheet for them and then turn it into the Admiralty. Please go here to get a copy. No Exceptions.

[Rules]
We now have our rules published once more on the website. I am pleased that I also had to alter them on a second page for our first ever NON TREK simm :) Although they are still a work in progress, please read them and inform your crews that they are required to read them and reference them.
http://quicksilverfleet.com/sfrules.htm - for ST Simms
http://quicksilverfleet.com/nonsfrules.htm - for NON ST Simms
If any of you have anything that you feel needs to be addressed within the rules, or that needs to be added, please email me at admiraltabolt@quicksilverfleet.com. Thanks.
[Requirements]
Posting is not an optional thing; each and every member of our fleet should be posting within the required time. This is not something that is negotiable.
***** ***** ****** ****** *****
This is also your newsletter, if you have anything you'd like to have put in it please email me. It can be a birthday, anniversary, birth of a child, anything and I will be more than happy to put it in a future edition.

That said it's now TRIVIA TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Episode Shore Leave has the only scene in which the U.S.S. Enterprise is seen orbiting a planet from right to left. The I.S.S. Enterprise also does this briefly in the parallel universe, in the pre-credits sequence of Mirror, Mirror, but by the beginning of Act I, it is again orbiting from left to right.
Grace Lee Whitney was supposed to be the lead female character, hence her prominent role as Yeoman Janice Rand in the first season. However, the producers let go of the character after the first season, much to the fans' regret. Whitney, however was asked back for most of the Star Trek movies, reprising her role as Janice.
In the hallways of the Enterprise there are tubes marked "GNDN", these initials stand for "goes nowhere does nothing".
Actor Mark Lenard, best known for his role as Sarek, Spock's father, was the first actor to play a member of all three of the major alien races: Romulan (Balance of Terror), Vulcan (Journey to Babel and other entries), and Klingon (Star Trek: The Motion Picture).
The slanting crawlway that leads up to the warp-drive nacelles is referred to as a "Jefferies tube." This is a reference to art director Walter M. Jefferies.
In several episodes, prop beverage bottles were modified from existing alcohol bottles. Aldeberan Whiskey bottles were Cuervo Gold 1800 Tequila bottles. Bottles used for Saurian Brandy were George Dickel Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey carafes.
