==3 — Star Trek Online ==
Following the [[ma:Tomed_Incident|Tomed Incident]] in 2311, the Romulan Star Empire entered a prolonged period of total isolation. In that time, politics changed, people changed, and the Federation’s needs changed. Once a part of the old guard, Eos was relegated to an overequipped, unimportant outpost along a border of the Federation that seemingly no longer mattered. Over the following decades, Eos fell into disrepair due to her low priority status. 2400 was the year that changed everything for Eos Station as the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire of Rator and de facto Romulan civil war changed the landscape once again. Revived and brought back to life, Eos Station is called upon again to serve the borders of the Federation, this time opposite Romulan space from the [https://wiki.bravofleet.com/index.php/Romulan_Free_State Romulan Free State], as well as many other unknown independent Romulan factions all vying for control.

== Section 4 - Other Games ==


* The Gaming Office recognizes that there are more games out there than just the ones listed in the sections of this document that fleet members like to play.
* This may include:
** Party games, such as Among Us, Cards Against Humanity, and the Jack series quiz games
** Multiplayer video games, such as Stellaris, Elite Force and Bridge Commander
** Tabletop RPGs, such as Star Trek Adventures or Dungeons & Dragons
* You may count the usage that you do towards these games towards Bravo Fleet gaming submissions for ribbons. However, these will have vastly different award structures than officially supported games.
** Campaign Ribbons will not be awarded for any game other than an officially supported game from above.
** Strategic Action Ribbons will not be awarded, as the point of this section of games is to play with other members of Bravo Fleet together and the point of the Strategic Action Ribbon is for playing as a single member of Bravo Fleet in a game.


=== Party Games ===
Upon stepping in, one is immediately drawn to the cozy feel of a traditional tavern steeped in Scottish heritage. The gentle glow of the lighting further enhances the intricate wooden details that decorate the establishment. Comfortably arranged seating invites guests to settle in and relax while an impressive bar takes center stage, offering an expansive array of beverages to choose from. Neatly organized rows of bottles adorning the shelves behind the bar showcase a diverse selection of spirits and liquors. The prominent display of cigar boxes atop the bar adds a charming touch of culture. The owner, Haggis McCreery, warmly welcomes you to The Scottish Tap


* Party games are classified as any game that has a drop in or out type play structure that does not require a large time commitment. This can include games that work best on mobile phones but also can include party card games or trivia style games.
* These are always organized in advance as part of a Gaming Night within Bravo Fleet.


==== Combat Action Ribbons ====
==Support Craft==


* As the Combat Action Ribbon is meant as a ribbon to be given for group Bravo Fleet activities, this is the primary award for party games.
===='''Assigned Vessel'''====
* All submissions for any party games must show in a screenshot the game's lobby for each of the rounds participated in, with BFMS IDs for each player clearly designated in both the dropdowns and, most importantly, the notes for the submission designating what nickname is used for which BFMS ID.

* As games sometimes require you to "clan up" or you may get recruitment messages from other groups and wish to avoid it, you may use [4BF] in a game to signify membership within Bravo Fleet.
*Mandela, VIP Craft (Danube-class Runabout)
* This is most commonly an ad-hoc gaming style, so no need for a Gaming Night, though you may want to use one to organize some matches; contact any member of the Gaming Staff and we can help with this.

*Patel, Patrol (Volga-class Runabout)

====Commanding Officers====
* As there are many types of games out there, the following information must be recorded in these types of submissions:

** General genre information;

** How many rounds were played together; and
** How long the session was.
* Unlike other sections for Combat Action Ribbons, this particular section is decided on a case by case basis, as there is a very wide range of games that can be awarded for.
 
=== Tabletop Games ===
 
* These types of games are new, and cover traditionally played games played through our Discord.
* Writing can be involved, but dice and character generation would be part of this.

Commissioned in the year 2293, shortly before the signing of the Khitomer Accords, the Watchtower-class Eos Station was a military outpost along the Romulan Neutral Zone. Charged with gathering intel on the Romulans, defense of the Federation borders, and keeping tabs on our Romulan neighbors, Eos Station was the best of the best. Equipped with all the latest technology of the day, Eos Station was a shining beacon for the Federation.

Following the Tomed Incident in 2311, the Romulan Star Empire entered a prolonged period of total isolation. In that time, politics changed, people changed, and the Federation’s needs changed. Once a part of the old guard, Eos was relegated to an overequipped, unimportant outpost along a border of the Federation that seemingly no longer mattered. Over the following decades, Eos fell into disrepair due to her low priority status. 2400 was the year that changed everything for Eos Station as the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire of Rator and de facto Romulan civil war changed the landscape once again.
