Welcome to Avalon Fleet Yards, the scientific and technological heart of the Fourth Fleet!

This persistent sandbox is open to every member of Bravo Fleet ranked midshipman and up. If you’re interested in applying, click the Apply Now button. Remember that your character biography should be complete, and you should include a writing sample. Check the guide for more direction.

Avalon Fleet Yards is an ongoing open sandbox for members of Bravo Fleet. Open to everyone holding the fleet rank of midshipman and above, this space is meant to provide people with an opportunity to write character development stories and organic plots without relying on direct game manager intervention like a traditional RPG.

Set in the system-wide facilities comprising the Fourth Fleet’s fleet yard, Avalon focuses on this array of stations, laboratories, construction teams, research institutes, and other engineering and scientific initiatives. Characters may work in different areas and locations but usually live together on planetside Sato City or the vast orbital Brahms Station.

Unlike the slice-of-life or ‘Lower Decks’ feel of Starbase Bravo, Avalon’s stories are about the dramas and tensions of teamwork, rivalry, bureaucracy and politics between and within research or engineering teams and institutes. Where SBB members focus primarily on their specific character in a manner more akin to a traditional Bravo Fleet RPG, Avalon gives players an opportunity to develop their own smaller sandbox-within-a-sandbox – a construction team, a research facility, etc – for which they are wholly responsible, and tell stories both within it and alongside these fiefdoms of other players.
