The Captains Council (“CC”) is one of two administrative bodies for our community, and is tasked with managing promotions to the rank of Commander, as well as a host of issues regarding the universe in which we play. Each year, the CC elects a Magistrate, whose job it is to facilitate ongoing discussions, tally and record votes, and act as the official messenger for the council to the Executive Council and the fleet at large.

This role plays an important part of keeping Captains Council business on track, and those who hold the role are often top candidates for higher office with the Executive Council.

For 2018, the council has selected Captain Sal Taybrim, Commanding Officer of Starbase 118 Ops, as its Magistrate. Congratulations to her for this recognition!

Taybrim’s writer, Jamie, was profiled in July 2017, as well as in March of 2016. She has been decorated with the Russ Bar, Nebula Bar, TOSMA, and Q Awards, as well as the Prantares Ribbon (Medical Officer of the year), the prestigious Rising Star Award in 2015, the James T. Kirk Cross, and the Christopher Pike Pendant, making her one of our most decorated captains currently serving in the fleet.

The race to the end of the year holiday season has begun! The StarBase 118 Fleet finished October strong with an impressive total of 1,450 sims produced.

Leading the fleet in sim numbers last month was once again USS Constitution with 238 sims. USS Atlantis finished with the second highest number of sims at 216, and Embassy of Duronis II finished third with 214 sims.

Most people in the fleet love their ship and would be loathe to leave it unless forced to. But sometimes, making a change is necessary to refresh your skills, learn more about simming, meet new people, or just move into a role you’ll enjoy more. That’s when it’s time to start thinking about a transfer.

Simply enough, a transfer is the move of your primary or secondary character from one ship to another. (You can only sim on two ships at a time. And you don’t need to file a transfer form to move NPCs between ships – just talk to your CO.)

When a transfer form is submitted, the Fleet Placement Officer (FPO) reviews it and makes a good-faith effort to find a placement that fulfills those requests as closely as possible. Sometimes the requests are not available – positions might be filled by someone else, or the ship might already have a full crew. In that case, the FPO will use secondary requests as submitted on the form, but if those also aren’t a fit, the FPO will contact the player and ask if they want to consider other open roles or ships, or stay where they are. Per our Constitution (Article V, Section 15), members are protected in the event their placements can’t be fulfilled.

We make every effort to try and keep the transfer process as simple and convenient for members as possible as we’d rather have members transfer to a new ship they think they might like better rather than drop out completely! But we always recommend that players talk to their Commanding Officer as openly and frankly as possible to resolve any disputes before trying to transfer – sometimes a good discussion can sort out any confusion or issues that seem intractable.
