One of several Galaxy-class starships constructed during the Dominion War to serve as a battleship, the Columbia was quickly brought up to full exploratory specs in the years following the war. In the 2380s and 2390s, she was sent on two seven-year missions of deep space exploration, making dozens of first contacts under her first two captains. After a mid-life refit in the 2390s, she was relegated with most of the fleet to defensive duties, until being assigned to the Fourth Fleet in 2400. Now under the command of Noah Armstrong, she has returned to front-line exploratory service.
The Columbia is intended to be a moderate-paced quality-focused RPG, with stories drawn from veins that would be recognizable to fans of Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Star Trek: Voyager, emphasizing exploration and character growth more than combat.
This Bravo Fleet RPG is rated 111 under the RPG rating scale. For more information on this and other rules, check out this document.

Turning the corner into main engineering, Lieutenant Andreus Kohl paused a minute to gain his bearings. He leaned close to a bulkhead, keeping back from the bustle of engineers moving around like bees worshiping the warp core. After studying the faces he saw, and mentally comparing them with the [...]

From where Chrishell Reiko was sitting, she thought Lieutenant Andreus Kohl moved through Sickbay like a classically-trained actor performing a stage play. Kohl strode around the nurse’s station without looking where he was going, too busy pointing at a chart on a holo-display. Despite his [...]
