<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? ===
+
[[Borg|Borg Collective]] starships are some of the most imposing, feared vessels in the Milky Way galaxy. Borg ships are designed for functionality over style and are often stylized in basic geometric shapes. As part of their functionality, Borg vessels are largely decentralized. They have no distinct bridge or engineering section, and do not require living quarters; instead, the corridors of each Borg vessel are lined with Borg alcoves so that drones may effectively regenerate in sections where they work.  
<blockquote>Our games (we refer them to as Role-Playing Games/RPGs or Sandboxes) 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 commander). A fiction is usually written by one person. As a member of the Fleet, you can begin writing the story of your character on our site, the Bravo Fleet Management System (BFMS), and eventually write the story of your ship – when you reach the rank of Midshipman.</blockquote>
 
  
=== Where do I start? ===
+
Each Borg vessel is controlled directly by the Hive Mind, allowing for quick response time and adaptation in combat. Additionally, Borg vessels have a high rate of regeneration which can make them effective in combat with over half of the vessel inoperable. In the end, each Borg vessel is designed for one purpose: the effective, swift, and overwhelming assimilation of other species to add to the perfection of the Borg Collective.
<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 a Task Force.

=== What is a primary character? A primary command? How does it all work? ===

===In Play===
<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. An avatar ship 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 midshipman you’ll have the option of selecting a ship for yourself. Think of it as an extension of your primary character, who 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 writing. As you progress through up to our senior ranks, you can expand your primary command to become a squadron!</blockquote>

When most people think of Borg starships, they think of this paperweight. It's a warp-capable, cutting beam-armed, torpedo-spewing, assimilation-capable, platonic solid geometry lesson and it's coming for you! The first time they came at the Federation they forgot to activate their VPN, letting a malicious hacker execute remote commands on their ship. The second time around they forgot to lock out a former employee's user account who used it for malicious purposes as well, identifying a weak spot in the particular cube.

"If the Continuum has told you once, they have told you a thousand times: DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!!!"
    —Q, to Q Junior

Take one Borg Cube, slap on some armour plates, and a few more weapon points. And you're done. Now, if you need me, I'm moving to a different galaxy.

In Play

  • The Borg took the standard Cube and made it scarier. How? Who told them they needed to make a Cube scarier?
  • You better have a fancy plan just to run away from one of these things. Fighting one just isn't an option.
  • No, seriously, don't fight it. You'll just teach them all our good fighting moves we rely on for kicking the smaller ships around.

Template:Specification


The Borg Diamond, also know as the octahedron, is a purpose-constructed vessel for the Collective, outside of their normal operating modalities. The vessel operates as a command and control vessel by designated Borg leaders, commonly Queens when brought into being, during campaigns against powerful or resilient enemies requiring a more focused resolution pathway and minimised subspace latency for adaptation and engagement approach dynamism.

If a Borg Diamond is operating in the area, it is a clear sign the sector is of importance to the Collective and other forces are nearby. Do not engage. Do not conduct further scans. Disengage and report all findings to Starfleet or the nearest allied power immediately.
