Welcome to the USS Ganymede!
Welcome to the USS Ganymede!
The Ganymede is a Luna class starship, launched in 2382, 7 years after the end of the Dominion War. After returning to a peacetime footing, the Federation has committed to returning Starfleet to its roots - exploration.
With a newly demilitarized Cardassia, the way is now open for Starfleet to continue exploration into the far half of the Alpha Quadrant, as well as the border of the Gamma Quadrant. The Ganymede, equipped with a Mark I Slipstream Drive, is tasked with seeking out new life and civilizations, and boldy going where no one has gone before.
RPG Rating:
2: Swearing is permitted, with some limitations.
1: Mild sexual innuendo and references permitted.
2: Violence is permitted, with some limitations.
Ship Canon
The USS Ganymede exists after "Star Trek: Nemesis", and does not include media created afterwards. There are limited references from soft canon sources, such as "Star Trek: New Frontier" and "Star Trek: Titan" novel series. We also bring in a few things from the "Star Trek Online" universe. Bringing in references from other media will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the game master.

I've uploaded the Neptune skin and modified it for our uses. For those already with an account, you will need to go to your appearance settings, and select "Neptune." Neptune has a bit of a more modern view, and most importantly for those who stare at screens all day, it's easy on the eyes (it's dark). It also is more reactive (mobile-friendly).

Everyone, please join me in welcoming Lt(jg) Christopher Scartelli as our new chief helm officer, as well as Dr Termas Tarnak as our new chief medical officer! I'm sure they will be fine additions to the crew.
Feel free to write yourselves in as having come on board at DS9 before we left.
Thanks,

We are in search of a new XO! The previous XO had to retire due to real life obligations, and I'm a bit picky about choosing my XO. So, here's a link to the application!

» Storyboarding the Launch
Posted on Mon May 11th, 2020 @ 1:52pm by Captain Dyllon McMahon in Out of Character
So, we're in a bit of a pickle. Half the crew are sitting at DS9, and the other half at Utopia Planitia. We need to launch the ship, go through our warp test, and our slipstream test, before we arrive at DS9 to pick up the rest of the crew.
Because of this, unless anyone objects, I'm going to write a long post tonight or tomorrow that will storyboard what is going to transpire between now and our arrival at DS9.
Thanks,
Captain Dyllon McMahon

Hello, everyone! We've got a lot of new faces around here, so I wanted to make sure we're on the same page.
Right now, I have JUST accepted Command of the Ganymede, but have not yet arrived on ship.
The Ganymede is currently at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, in orbit around Mars. She has just been built, and is making final preparations.
Two of our crew members are at Deep Space Nine. They are non-essential for cast off, so we're going to pick them up on the way. This may have caused some confusion, but to reiterate, the Ganymede is…

James had been having a great time since transferring to the Ganymede, and he made sure some of his staff were, too. He had known from his time on the Cochrane that the night shift was easy to overlook, so he temporarily changed his schedule to work with the night shift here.
First, he made sure they all knew who he was and that he was available to them if they needed anything. Then he showed them over the first few days that he would be working right alongside them, besides spending some time in his office to respond to…

James was excited to meet his supervisor. This was his first posting as an Assistant Chief Engineer, and he wanted to make a great impression.
James pushed the door chime for E’Lor’s office, and waited.
Startled, dropping her PADD by the chime, "Come!" she said. Picking up the PADD, she looked to see an engineering officer standing in front of her. "How can I help you Lt. ...." she smiled.
“James Campbell, ma’am,” James said, saluting. “I’m your new Assistant Chief Engineer.” James noticed E’Lor was very pretty, but he hoped his face gave no indication of that. He was…

E'Lor was sitting quietly in her office enjoying a quiet cup of Earl Grey tea, listening to some soothing music. Her day had been aggravating and needed the peace and quiet. Usually when she was enjoying her quiet time, some thing or some one would interrupt it, so......she was actually waiting for the enviable would happen.....sure enough it was about to do just that!

After watching the Doctor head to the turbolift, Dyllon turned to the viewscreen ahead of him.
"Red Alert!" Dyllon bellowed, and the ship's lights turned to red on cue. He then tapped his commbadge, "=/\=Aozar, this is the captain. Do what you need to do to resolve the issue in Cargo Bay 2, but I need at least one of them alive. I want answers=/\="

Computer, begin personal log Dr Termes Tarnak.
I've just received an urgent transfer order from Starfleet command. Much as I hate to abandon my work here on Bajor supporting reconstruction, there is a frontline explorer in need of a doctor. Mara and Milia are proud to send me off. To be completely honest, I'm dragging my webs a bit.
It feels like just yesterday we signed the armistice with the Dominion and were finally able to get back to normal lives. I've barely established a routine at this clinic and already they're calling me up for service. But what a…

I am looking forward to our new adventures. Most of the crew have arrived on the ship and we are getting ready to depart for our first mission. I am excited to be on this ship and have even found a fellow crew mate whom maybe become closer than just a shipmate. She is wonderful and has allowed me to open myself up in ways I never felt like opening up before. I have always been classified as shy and…

"I have never served on a ship like the Ganymede before. I have only really been serving on transport ship or luxury ships. Most of my action was beaming vacationers to the planet's surface at which ever planet we were to be at. I feel I will enjoy this chance to grow and experience new life. Starfleet has been my calling for as long as I can recall. My family has always been involved in serving the traveling means of man for as far back as…

Schematics of the Ganymede's truly epic array of offensive and defensive weapons systems and firing array scrolled down the three-dimensional display. Overlayed now with numerous strike vectors, power ratios and links to the back-up targetting systems.
"Show aft weapons array and the Ganymede's 360 degree cover" Sheppard asked the ships AI as a full tactical display of the vessel and the full fields of fire overlapped the display jutting out from the vessel like a mandalla into the air.
