USS Horizon - Daedalus Class Starship

[Amanda Rose]

A new United Federation of Planets has entered into creation in the aftermath of the Earth-Romulan War and with it's establishment comes a new chapter of galactic history. It is an era of pioneers and explorers in an untamed galaxy, bearing wonders to excite the imagination, and terrors that can freeze the soul. With this mandate, vessels that were once warships and people that were once soldiers have thrown down their weapons and have turned their attentions to exploration. Of these vessels, the lone vessel U.S.S Horizon NCC-176, recently departed from Sigma Iotia II, continue their grand exploration of the galaxy.

U.S.S Horizon is an interactive simulation (Sim) set in the year 2168, close to a hundred years before The Original Series pilot "The Cage." This simulation (a reboot from the yahoo USS Horizon started in February, 2006) picks up where the episode leaves off. The Horizon has just left Sigma Iotia II. The crew is continuing its mission of planetary exploration. From this point, Star Trek history gives us a black hole. It's our goal to roleplay what may have happened between the Horizon's departure from "A Piece of the Action" and the distress call. Since Kirk mentioned that "all hands were lost," we are obviously not going to be staying in Federation space.

I should further note that Enterprise DOES NOT EXIST (or anything mentioned in Enterprise) for purposes of this sim. I can't stand what they did to canon (it is contradictory to the real series) or Andorians. If you anticipate simming and Andorian, YOU MUST TALK TO ME FIRST. You will have to be familiar with MY version which can be seen in Zuub in the SLA. Furthermore, as there is a void in the technology advances at this time, we will have to extrapolate based on modern technology and TOS technology. If you have questions on this, please ask.
