Welcome to Project Wegener
Preface: The Fleet Research Lab has arrived, albeit sooner than expected. Since temporal fiddlings about and nonsense are generally frowned upon in the fleet and the Delta Quadrant is far removed from our little area of space, we had to find something else to use it for.
Summary: Project Wegener involves the long term testing of the prototype Wegener Orbital Terra-Analysis Facility, or Wegener-class Starbase. Fitted with a wide range of instruments and a specially constructed outer shell, Starfleet hopes to use it to gain a better understanding of “Exotic planetary bodies” [Y-Class planets] and use those same instruments to improve the terraforming process by taking up to several years off. Of course they need someone to put it through its paces.
What does this all mean for Roleplay opportunities?: The facility will be in the same star system as our main Starbase, which means it’s no stretch to have any character that frequents the 146 on the Wegener. Since it is also effectively an operational asset of the 146, it can easily be said that a character gets called to perform duties there just as they would any other attached facility.
The main focus of the RP will also be more engineering and scientifically oriented, which has its own set of opportunities for progress, or problems. Remember, there are still plenty of problems that can’t be fixed with words or weapons. Overall, though, it will be a more relaxed RP setting.
In the end, though, the atmosphere is what the RP makes it, and it is a very nice looking place for RP.
