WRITER OF THE MONTH

            Task Force 23: Artemis: Cassandra Frost & Midway: Arriana D'Tal

Artemis: Cassandra Frost - The character of Cassandra Frost was designed to be a Tom Paris of sorts. A character who had committed a crime and is working on earning their rank and commission back. This month we saw her settle into her position on the ship and show some of the crew that despite her current status she still has command over them.

Midway: Captain Arriana D’Tal - Normally just our webmaster, Jason from time to time writes as the antagonist Orion Pirate Captain Arriana D’Tal. His talents as a writer and especially as a villain are manifest, keeping us on our toes and spicing up the mission.

            Area 51: Arcadia: Kat & Astrea: Chris

Arcadia: Kat - She gets nominated a lot, but this month I'm nominating her because in her writing she made a self-discovery. A character she intended to be 'a bad guy' was a character she connected with and learned he wasn't bad. It threw her for a loop and changed her characters ' romance plot, but more importantly she trusted herself and listened to the writing. 

Astrea: Chris T/Osirin: Chris is one of our newest players and he’s been very active in posts establishing his character’s place on the ship as an exchange officer. He’s already woven an interesting and amusing web of entanglements and has put himself out there for both friendly and unfriendly JPs. It’s super fun to have someone around to shake things up a bit.

PLAYER OF THE MONTH

            Task Force 23: Pandora: CF & Unicorn: Nash

Pandora: CF, who plays as Mindo and his merry band of Engineers, has shown impeccable dedication to the sim and belief in our purpose. He has stepped up into a leadership role to help continue the sim's story with passion and great enthusiasm. 

Unicorn: Nash as Lieutenant Commander Gabriel Calhoun for outstanding contributions and leadership in moving plots forward

            Area 51: SB109: Ray & Wolff: Hadir Prenar

SB109: Ray. Ray has done some amazing work in the last month enhancing our site and improving overall morale. His work has been incredibly valuable. We eagerly anticipate the arrival of his new character!

Wolff: Lt Hadir Prenar (Howie) Howie has also put out a good amount of content this month and has been doing exactly what a new player to the sim should be doing, reaching out to most of the other writers looking for jp's to do.
