I head up Risa Defense Force, an admittedly small but fun-loving group of players in STO.

We're at about 4-5 regulars (get on every day or most days of the week), and we just play the game as we please. If we can team for a Fleet Mark run, great! If not, we just enjoy each other's company as we do our own thing.

We are also a group where real life takes precedence. We mostly get on at night (Eastern time), and sporadically through the day as we find time. Some of us are college students, others have jobs.

No need to worry about LGBT acceptance as we take all players from all walks of life, both in-game and in the real world. Actually, it's never even come up in the 6 months I've been playing. I guess we're highly evolved like that, that it doesn't even come to mind when we get online.

We have a bit of a website, though admittedly it's a work in progress: https://sites.google.com/site/risadefenseforce/home

We're in the middle of doing some recruiting, and the webpage will be our home for news, updates, fleet rules, and fleet structure. But anyone in RDF can answer those questions for you if you're online.

If you'd like to ask more questions (or anyone reading this), PM me here or in-game at Joe@entnx00.

Enjoy the game however you see fit!
