Excerpt from The Socio-Topological Evolution of the Federation (2388)
By Heinrich Schelton

“This is, without a doubt, the worst book I ever read.”
-Ambassador Jean-Luc Picard

For all the reasons above, and many more, the proper response to the eternal question—Kirk or Picard?—must be, without hesitation or qualification—and without any doubt about its scientific certainty—Kirk.

I have met Jean-Luc Picard. I have been informed by friends that he was recently made ambassador to Vulcan. And I believe he will be an excellent, noble, and wise diplomat. On a purely personal note, I would enjoy a fine meal with him, and have the utmost faith that the conversation over after-dinner wine (perhaps from his own family’s vineyards!) would be spectacular. But he is no Kirk!

The modern-day Federation has become secure. Some say that we are on the verge of a new age of peace and prosperity. There seems much to lose on the backs of poor decisions or miscalculations. As it ages, the Federation moves more cautiously, more slowly, plodding along, increasingly unable to react to the dangers that will beset it. And those dangers will come. My own calculations suggest a crisis period between 2407 and 2413.

During this time, we will not need suave diplomats but men of action. We will need Kirk! The Federation of his day was more robust, more active, and more resilient!

To further demonstrate this point, I will now turn to a neo-Freudian decomposition of the foundational socio-mechanical factors, expressed in terms of Sykor interaction matrices, that have guided Federation culture over the last few centuries. (For an extended discussion of the renormalization problems associated with Bunk Zeitgeist manifolds, see appendix R.)

For more background on our fleet, stay tuned to:

http://sto-tos.blogspot.com/

Also, our website is now setup so you can come aboard:

http://stotosveteransfleet.guildlaunch.com/

We are either 30 something or 40 something so you may define us as mature.

We have starter this fleet to create a relaxed fleet for casual or active members with an emphasis on fun and a strong social aspect. It is expected that captains may bail out of a mission to return to Starbase Mariner 10 in order to make lunches, dinner or feed the baby. To us family like is as important as the prime directive. That is a non Kirk version of the Prime Directive!

Very few rules and everyone have a say in the direction of the fleet. We do have one wish that all members have the TOS uniform for Fleet actions and possible a 23rd century Ship and you are familiar with our Fleet backstory. We understand that all members may not be into the roll playing but just humour us and build your character bio to correspond. http://sto-tos.blogspot.com/

We are under the philosophy that everyone had their own gifts and abilities to bring to the fleet so if you wish to be active in forming the fleet in any way please let us know. Also know that you are more than welcome to just be a part of the fleet.

Sign up on the fleet website, look around and if you wish to be a part of the fleet, please fill out the application form. http://stotosveteransfleet.guildlaunch.com/

Mature (30’s & 40’s) relaxed casual fleet looking for fleet members that like The Original Series (TOS) that they don’t mind following a story line that takes them from 2269 to the future to help fight in a war that would be their future.

http://sto-tos.blogspot.com/

We are a TOS themed and retrofitted to fight in the 25th century but we need you and your enthusiasm (and a few backstories) to help us out.

Check out the new (adding more every day) website http://stotosveteransfleet.guildlaunch.com/ and join in for a little fantasy and a lot of fun and friendship.

Did someone say that they made Jim Kirk an admiral???!!

We are older, relaxed and fun to be with.

We have cookies!

In the year 2408 after the Klingon and Gorn invade Cestus III a Starfleet Committee chaired by Admiral Jorel Quinn passed motion to explore other options and possibilities in order to build up the Federation with commanders and ships. "We need to promote exceptional officers quickly. We need our captains leading away teams. Starfleet needs to look at our whole command structure and do what works now, not what worked 30 years ago."

A Starfleet diplomat was sent back to the late 2260's to speak with Starfleet in order to round up several possible exceptional commander candidates and as many star ships as they could refurbish from the decommissioned roster.

The chosen captains were given ships that were pre programmed with precise calculations in order to carry out the light-speed breakaway factor to artificially-created time warp in order to time travel back to the 2408.

Once the initial five captain were sent, Starfleet would keep their eye out for any such qualified command personnel to join the fleet and to help fight the war in the future.
You may be that commander!
