July 2019 Monthly Awards
Player of the Month (TF9)
Zakaran Ick’thar, USS Proxima
“This player has stepped up to help move us forward and take the mantle as XO with a new character while still writing her original character.”
Sim of the Month (TF9)
USS Proxima
“For the steadfastness of the crew in dealing with 3 CO changes in the last 2 months, while still writing compelling stories, the USS Proxima is the sim of the month for TF9.”
Player of the Month (TF38)
Rufus Wessex, Starbase Aurora
“Edgeford has been an absolutely outstanding player, embodying the spirit of collaboration aboard Starbase Aurora and setting the standard for detail, realism, and engagement in his posts.”
Sim of the Month (TF38)
Starbase Aurora
“Starbase Aurora has done an amazing job with recruitment and activity thus far along with having a team of writers that are intent on writing lasting stories.”
Player of the Month (TF64)
Nirak, USS Mercury
“I am nominating Kyle (Lieutenant Commander Nirak) for player of the month. He has created so much backstory for our current mission, and is consistently involved in all matters of the sim. Not only that but he is also involved with the Bravo Fleet graphics team and has done some amazing work for our fellow players. He’s a real pleasure to have on my sim and in many ways, he’s the ying to my yang.”
Sim of the Month (TF64)
USS Alexandria
“The Alexandria went from being the second most active in June to the most active game in July – even with their CO being on vacation, running a number of games, and TF99. I also appreciate the work of the Alexandria to explore the galaxy with a Star Trek: Discovery lens.”
Player of the Month (TF72)
Soit Emla, New Lakarian City
“Kyle has been instrumental to the success of New Lakarian City. He is undoubtedly our most versatile player, boldly writing every character from Cardassian civilians and Embassy personnel to Ferengi diplomats. He’s a staple in our crew, starting posts, encouraging other writers, and developing plots for the entire game. New Lakarian City would not be the game it is today without Kyle’s ideas.”
Sim of the Month (TF72)
USS Boadicea
“The USS Boadicea has staged an impressive return to Bravo Fleet, telling entertaining stories with a close-knit crew and seizing the opportunities of the Gavarian Corridor plotline’s reopening.”
Player of the Month (TF93)
Cassandra Rae, USS Excalibur
“I am going to nominate Sarah (Ensign Cassandra Rae) for this award this month, once again, she has made the position her own, so much so, that it is always the first thing my command staff talks about when discussing the simulation. Already with our storyline, Sarah has jumped right in and built in a backstory for her character and department and gotten right into making the plotline involving her character her own, offering suggestions that might be worth a second look by anybody else, but myself and the command staff love reading her ideas and can’t wait to read what happens with her character throughout this mission and beyond.”
Sim of the Month (TF93)
USS Sirona
“I am going to nominate the USS Sirona this month, I have found their simulation to be one that I am always bound to look at several times a month, always to see what they are getting up to. A great group of writers who all seem to work very well together, with a storyline that always seems to inspire good writing. They aren’t the fastest paced simulation but they never give up. I really loved reading “Playing The Part, Part Two” with their current mission really making headway in what they want to achieve, that post shows me how dedicated each writer is to not only their character but to each other and to the simulation. To switch between two locations on a constant basis is hard, but this crew seem to make it look easy and it was very easy for me to follow along with the post and therefore know where things were up to with the current mission, so well done to the Sirona crew!”
Player of the Month (TF99)
Titus Knight, Port Royale
“Awarded to Captain Titus Knight of Starbase Port Royale. The Fleet Strategic Operations Officer for Task Force 99 and support commander of the USS Tianlong. Captain Knight is a delight to write with, and has a sense of humor, that grows on you. This new character has done well posting wise in the month of July and is truly deserving of this award.”
Sim of the Month (TF99)
ISS Yamato
CO #1: I am really enjoying the story that is coming from this sim. Keep up the good work!
CO #2: It’s tough running a mirror universe sim, many have tried. The ISS Yamato seems to be going well, posts are fun to read too.
CO #3: They’re doing quite well. Happy to see a mirror universe sim working out.
Bravo Fleet’s First Competition: Design a Logo!

Hall of Honour Revamp
It is with great pleasure that I announce a revamp of the Hall of Honour! We’ve added new awards, restored a few old awards, and setup a brand new system for competitions. Our goal is to recognize the efforts of individuals in their writing and dedication to the community.
Some highlights of awards we’ve added:
- Merit Awards – a series of medals that recognize members for their commitment and dedication to Bravo Fleet.
- Legion of Honor – clusters of awards that recognize players for writing on Bravo Fleet simulations (from 15 posts to 1000 posts and beyond!).
- Service Ribbons – awards that recognize a player’s writing and proficiency in a particular field.
- Post of the Month – a monthly award given to players in each Task Force that recognize posts for quality, character development, and/or contribution to a sim or fleet storyline.
- Mission of the Quarter/Year – awards that recognizes players on an entire sim for completing a captivating and interesting mission.
- Hall of Honour Stars – HoH gold, silver, and bronze stars recognize a player’s placement (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) in a fleet competition. Whenever a member earns a star, the Hall of Honour will display their name alongside the competition on our website.
- You can view the full list of our new awards here: https://www.bravofleet.com/hall-of-honour/ooc-awards.
The other change to the Hall of Honour is the addition of fleet-wide competitions. Competition prompts can range from graphics (avatars, mission banners, etc) and writing (short stories, sim posts, etc) to community activities (trivia, gaming, etc). Any player can submit a proposal for a competition using this form: https://forms.gle/UskXbFiCvAC5kPRm7. If the HoH approves your proposal, they’ll contact you before announcing it to the fleet. Members who submit a proposal will judge entries and select finalists (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place). Competitions may be held on Discord, through form submissions, or even on a gaming platform.
If you have any questions about our new awards or HoH competitions, feel free to contact me (@Emily#6153) or Zyrell (@Zyrell#6273) on Discord or via email (hoh@bravofleet.com). We’re still expanding our list of awards and the functions of the HoH, so if you’d like to be involved, feel free to contact us!
Player & Simulation of the 2nd Quarter (2019)!
It’s that time of year again! Selected from the previous 3 months of monthly award winners, here are the 2nd Quarter 2019 Player and Simulation Winners!
Player of the Quarter
“Lieutenant Griffin had a mammoth task during this mission – both IC and OOC – to piece together the random, untrustworthy clues left by the players and myself. He had to deal with intentional red-herrings, people lying and keeping secrets, and this elusive, unknown Murderer running rampant around Paradise and Pandora. And despite the challenge set, he has risen above and beyond the call of his position and a normal RP writer; he has always done so with grace and the spirit of fun that the mission required. To say that he performed his duties would be an understatement; he has helped to carry this mission successfully through to its narrative conclusion and I hold him in the highest regard for his diligence, patience, and skill. It is easy to be impressed by Griffin for the kind of high-calibre writer that he already is – our previous mission in an alternate universe is testament enough to his talents and carefully crafted sense of character – but as a player, he has outdone himself in the past few months and deserves the highest recognition for his achievements.”
Simulation of the Quarter
“I am going to nominate the USS Atlantis this month, I have found their storyline to be quite interesting and a thrill to read, they have offered a good and unique premise for people to join and they keep things moving. It might not be at a super-pace but they move the storyline forward with brilliant writing and with great teamwork and collaboration. The few posts that I did read were all done by multiple members of the simulation and led to some great interactions and story writing from the crew. Their posts are very detailed and provide the reader with a whole lot more than just from point A to point B in the post and the mission, so well done!”
