The USS Sparrow, a brand new Wallace Class Light Escort in Obsidian Fleet TF47-A is recruiting for crew!

"We are but warriors for the working day!"

 This will be a somewhat unique sim in a number of ways, firstly with a compliment of just fifteen, the Sparrow's crew will be ninety-nine percent enlisted personnel. The CO is only a Lieutenant and will stay that way.

 Secondly, the Wallace Class is a garrison support vessel, not designed for long haul cruises. As such, facilities on board are spartan to say the least. If you thought a Defiant Class was basic? Think again!

 However, the crew will not be spending every day on board and will have the comforts of a brand new commercial asteroid mining space station, StoneRidge, where they will have permanent quarters, when not aboard.

 Thirdly, the majority of missions will take place within the Sparrow’s assigned patrol area, the Ty-Questor Binary Star system. This massive system, with a multitude of planets is the location of one of the largest asteroid fields yet discovered, rich in minerals and ores, hence the presence of the mining station. Such riches will also attract unwelcome intruders...

 Staying in a patrol area might seem a little limiting, but far from it, we'll have an opportunity to develop multiple plots and missions, building up a wealth of experience, in an long term environment we create and add to with each post.

 Think of it as an old style Motor Torpedo Boat or a Coast Guard Cutter, the crew live on the station but work on board, taking the ship out daily. This also means there is room for NPC family and acquaintances too, as well as a wide variety of leisure and social activities when not on patrol.

 Finally, in keeping with its size, the Sparrow will have only a limited number of player positions available to writers - no more than ten. Once those are filled that's it!

 So, find your Inner Non-Comm, try a change from the old "Big ship-Big crew-Big mission" stuff and come work for a living on the USS Sparrow!

 The positions available are:

 1. Quartermaster / Executive Officer
 2. Boatswain / Second Officer
 3. Helm/Flight Control/Pilot
 4. Communications Officer
 5. Diplomatic Corpsman
 6. Master at Arms
 7. Security Officer
 8. Gunners Mate
 9. Tactical Systems Operator
 10. Engineers Mate
 11. Matter/Energy Systems Specialist
 12. Bosuns Mate
 13. Search & Rescue Medical Specialist
 14. Scientists Mate

 There is also a possibility of some civilian positions - contact me if you have an idea of a suitable civilian character
