=== What is Bravo Fleet? ===
'''Eos Station''' is a [[Watchtower Class|''Watchtower''-class]] station that is located on the Federation-Romulan border.  
<blockquote>Founded in 1997, we are one of the world’s largest and oldest Star Trek communities. We offer a friendly and welcoming place to share your passion for Star Trek. We offer a wide array of activities such as solo writing (fiction writing), written group role-play (or simming), gaming, graphics, community competitions, and active community discussion about Trek or sci-fi in general. Our roleplaying games and fictions build on over 20 years of established lore while our Star Trek Online fleet takes on latest challenges fighting the Hur’q or the Vaaudwar. Our competitions encourage members to get creative in building stories, creating art, or flex our brain muscles through puzzles. While we were founded primarily as a role-playing group, we have adapted to the changing landscape to offer a community that prides itself as being a place where one can explore and engages in all that Star Trek has to offer through “infinite diversity, in infinite combinations.”</blockquote>


=== What’s the difference between a game and a fiction? ===
==Summary==
<blockquote>Our games are what many groups call “sims or simms.” Through collaboration between the members of the game, a story is built and written together with a game manager (GM) as the leader/coordinator. Each game will have a specific flavor or theme. Usually, but not always, game members primarily or exclusively write for and develop one character in the story in the manner of a role-playing game. You can join an already established game, or when you have the proper rank, start your own (lieutenant commander) or apply for one of our pre-made games (lieutenant). A fiction is usually written by one person or a smaller group of people than a game. When written by a group, the collaboration is in telling the story together, rather than splitting up characters among participants. As a member of the Fleet, you can begin writing the story of your character on our forums (Relay Station Bravo), and eventually write the story of your ship – when you reach the rank of Lt. Commander.</blockquote>
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.


=== Where do I start? ===
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. 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 Romulan Free State, as well as many other unknown independent Romulan factions all vying for control.
<blockquote>Bravo Fleet offers many different activities, but the first step is to sign up on our website and create a user account. During the sign up process you’ll be asked to create a “main character”, which helps immerse you into our Trek experience a little better. Once you create an account, you’ll be assigned to Starbase Bravo: the fleet HQ and a unit which is tailored towards new members, answering their questions, and guiding them throughout their first steps in our organization. Once you reach the rank of ensign, you’ll be assigned to one of Bravo Fleet’s task forces.</blockquote>


=== What can I do to be involved with Bravo Fleet? ===
==Layout==
<blockquote>Now that you’ve signed up, the activities can begin. Our activities range from group role-play writing, solo role-play writing, competitions, gaming, or even just hanging out with us and chatting on our Discord server.</blockquote>


=== What is a primary character? A primary command? How does it all work? ===
====Primary Hull====
<blockquote>Your primary character is your avatar. It can be a character you write and develop, or it can just be a persona for your account as you engage in any Bravo Fleet activities. The character should exist for this purpose as a “face” for your account, rather than being a PC you play in a sim. A primary command is the ship that you’ll eventually earn as you progress through the fleet and its progression system. As you participate in various activities and socialize you’ll progress through the fleet’s ranking system. Once you hit lieutenant commander, you’ll have the option of selecting a ship for yourself. Think of it as an extension of your primary character, who at lieutenant commander is given a command of their own! It is both a thank you for your dedication to the fleet, and some extra flavor for your role-play writing.</blockquote>
Eos Station features a typical 23rd-century Federation design, consisting of a saucer-shaped primary hull with a central command tower and four main docking bays capable of servicing Constitution-class starships or smaller. Positioned halfway down is an external docking wheel, while the energy reactor housing and multi-spectrum array are located at the bottom of the station. The command tower houses the shuttlebays, medical center, support offices, and an impressive two deck operations center. Support facilities, crew quarters, and crew accommodations are also housed within the primary hull. Phaser arrays are evenly distributed around the station's exterior.


=== Where can I write as my primary character/with my primary command ship? ===
==== Secondary Hull====
<blockquote>Writing for all Bravo Fleet activities takes place directly on the BFMS! Once you have the rank of midshipman, you can request a command which serves as a thread for you to write your stories.</blockquote>
The secondary hull of Eos Station predominantly houses cargo and maintenance facilities, along with the energy reactor and multi-spectrum array mount. Maneuvering thrusters, lifeboat ports, and weapon platforms are situated on the external hull of the secondary section.


=== What is a Task Force? ===
===='''Terrestrial Enclosure'''====
<blockquote>A task force is, in the most basic terms for Bravo Fleet purposes, an organizational unit that helps break down our large membership into more manageable quantities for our voluntary leaders to be able to handle. By breaking down everyone into sub groups this allows our leaders to give more individualized and specific attention to each member.</blockquote>


=== Do I need to run a game (sim) to get promoted? ===
Tucked away within the primary hull of Eos Station, the biodome (as the locals call it) is a self-contained habitat. Its lush landscape is programmed to echo Napa Valley, California on Earth, complemented by an artificial sky programmable to simulate day and night. Affectionately known as "Eden," the Terrestrial Enclosure contains a thriving meadow, a high-speed tram, an athletic field, and a small commercial and residential district, among a variety of other amenities and establishments.
<blockquote>No! This is common in many other groups, and was common in Bravo Fleet’s past. Now, running a game is completely voluntary if that is an activity you would like to pursue. Promotions are based on a wide variety of activities and interactions in Bravo Fleet.</blockquote>


=== How can I get a promotion? ===
==Promenade==
<blockquote>There are many activities and interactions that earn promotions. Please view our promotion guidelines for more details. As long as you are an active member of Bravo Fleet engaging with others, the chance you’ll earn a promotion is very likely.</blockquote>
The station houses a multi-level business district, Promenade.  This area is positioned just below the docking ring and contains a assortment of businesses able fulfill even of the pickiest of shoppers. Often referred to as a city within a city, the Promenade District features some of the best shopping and eating establishments in the galaxy.


=== How do I earn a medal? ===
====Club 504====
<blockquote>We have various different medals and awards in Bravo Fleet for all sorts of activities. Awards are generally broken down into three categories: merit, activity, and other. Activity awards, as the name suggests, are given as a result of our members participating in the various activities. Merit awards are given for longer term engagement with the fleet at various levels. Awards in the “other” category vary, but are largely vanity awards for different aspects of the fleet. Please view our different awards and their descriptions for more details.</blockquote>
[[File:Gencraft image 1710272599935-1.png|thumb|alt=|left]]


=== If I’m running a game (sim) how do I decide what my players ranks are? ===
<blockquote>Group role-play writing (simming) is its own activity, completely separate from the main structure of the fleet. Members who participate in this activity create secondary characters to write on the various games. Ranks for those characters are strictly at the behest of the writer and the game manager sorting out what works best for them, the story, and the game itself.</blockquote>


=== So what is the difference between my OOC (out-of-character) rank and IC (in-character) rank on games? ===
<blockquote>Your OOC rank is determined based on your engagement with the fleet. There are different aspects of the fleet to engage in, and as you do you will progress up the ranks. This rank is usually tied to your main character as you scale up. Your IC rank on games is determined solely by yourself and the game GM for what works best for the story.</blockquote>

Eos Station is a Watchtower-class station that is located on the Federation-Romulan border.

Summary
