THE STARFLEET AU MEME

Who are you?
Pick a department -

1) Command & Control. Captains and command staff; admirals; pilots.
2) Medical & Science. Doctors, scientific specialists and analysts, including staff not in the chain of command.
3) Engineering & Security. Including all engineers, all stereotypical throwaway 'redshirts', and communications staff.

Pick a rank -
1) Crewman. You're an enlisted person. Whatever expertise you might have, you have to obey the officers around you in everything.
2) Chief. Enlisted you may be, but you've gained expertise and experience. You know what you're doing better than many of those officers do.
3) Cadet. You're in Starfleet Academy, you haven't even graduated yet. Just a little baby pre-officer.
4) Ensign. Freshly graduated, at the bottom of the officer heap.
5) Lieutenant (Junior Grade), Lieutenant. Finally gained some command of your own.
6) Lieutenant Commander, Commander. You're eligible to command a starship now.
7) Captain. You have a command of your own. Time for that responsibility to be on your shoulders.
8) Admiral. Command of multiple ships.

Other -
1) Federation citizen. Scientist or consultant? Diplomatic Corps?
2) Alien. Are you hostile? In need of rescue? Curious about this new encounter?
3) Enemy. Are you in battle with Starfleet? Across the negotiating table? Bringing it down from within?
4) Foreign VIP. A diplomat, or a planetary leader.
5) Mercenary/pirate/trader, in general unaligned.
6) Other!

What's happening?
Exploration -
1) Observing astronomical phenomenon. This will be fascinating! For science!
2) You've discovered a new alien race. Time for first contact.
3) Space-time anomalies. Something weird is happening with the ship…
4) Survival. You're stranded on a new planet/crash-landed. You must survive, either among the local culture or in the wilderness.
5) Other!

Fighting -
1) Space battle. It's your duty to meet the enemy. Could be the Borg, or the Dominion, or the Klingons.
2) Boarded! The ship's got hostiles on board. Time to fight compartment to compartment. Maybe they've taken the ship and it's time to take it back.
3) Covert operations. Going undercover, disguised, to find information. Maybe you're a spy in Starfleet itself.
4) Disaster. Systems are out, there's no communication, and you have to figure out how to get out of this mess with limited tools at hand.
5) Rescue. Someone's in danger. A space station running out of air? A planet in danger of exploding? Go rescue them!
6) Other!

Diplomacy & Politics -
1) Negotiations. Are you ending a war? Beginning trade relations? Is this a continuation of first contact?
2) Playing host. You have diplomats/kings/leaders on your ship, and you have to impress them.
3) Elections. Is it for President of the Federation? Are you supervising an election on another world?
4) Asylum. Someone has sought refuge on the starship. Why?
5) Other!

Routine -
1) Off-duty. Time for a good game, or dinner party, or some fun in the holosuite.
2) Normal shifts. It's a routine, by now. Do you joke on duty? Is it rigid and professional?
3) Mess Hall. Grabbing a meal.
4) Shore leave. Vacation time! Are you spending it with your crewmates or as far away as possible?
5) Other!

[Chief Medical Officer of the USS Enterprise. Open to any scenario, AUs and cross-canon and Star Trek Beyond compliant.]

[Ensign/Lieutenant Navigator of the USS Enterprise than dabbles in Engineering too. Open to any scenarios, AUs and cross-canons and also Star Trek Beyond compliant too.]

( He'll be either a Lieutenant Commander, Captain, or Mercenary/Trader; go with a preference if you have one, otherwise I'll go with whatever works best. )

Lieutenant in Engingeering; a bit magical with how well he keeps the ship running.]

Captain of the U.S.S. Steele; formerly a science officer

[Possibly Chief Medical Officer or a lesser one, has a bit of an unknown past but comes with high recommendation to the ship. Newly assigned.]

( Captain of the USS Rosslyn; more familiar with AOS and TNG. )

[Civilian who works as recreation director and co-owner of the ship canteen.]

[ Cocky as hell captain that sometimes likes fighting too much. Is also an alien. ]

[ Alien, more used to independent field missions but can also serve as a pilot. ]

[Workaholic blue shirt in the medical bay who probably would higher ranked if he didn't require maintenance in making sure that he doesn't pass out in random corners from overworking himself.]

[Alien, captain of an exploration ship.]

(Why not.)

[How did he miss this! He is the happiest Sith Lord/Fanboy.

Foreign VIP and/or Enemy works best for him, otherwise OTA]

[Qubit's kind of an odd duck in that he's not with Starfleet - he may have tried for it, but dropped out mainly because he is not great at following rules. Now he's something of a rogue scientist, primarily working to overhaul transporter technology such that its range becomes theoretically infinite. Most of the scientific community thinks he's a crackpot.

So what's he doing on your ship? Idk maybe let's say somehow he got a commission to study a wormhole 'cause Starfleet thinks it could be strategic, or something. What could possibly go wrong?]

[ Chief Engineer and head of development on a Starfleet outpost near the Saiyan Neutral Zone xoxo.]
