}}'''Brahms Station (AFY-01-A)''' is a [[Probert Class|''Probert''-class spacedock]] and the headquarters of [[Avalon Fleet Yards]]. Located over [[Avalon System#Avalon II|Avalon II]], this massive station is the central command and control facility for not only the yard itself but the entire Grazer Sector. This facility is the primary service point for starships that only need resupply or minor repairs, and new ships are often transferred here after their formal launch to receive their crews before departing, while ships are actually constructed or refit at the various dry docks in the vicinity.  


== Citizenship Guidelines ==
== Namesake ==
Brahms Station is named after Dr. Leah Brahms in recognition for her work designing the engine systems for the ''Galaxy''-class explorer and ''Nebula''-class exploratory cruiser. Her engine designs revolutionized shipbuilding and laid the foundations for the engines found aboard all subsequent Starfleet ship classes. Dr. Brahms is one of the few living individuals to receive recognition through the naming of a ship or station and was present when the station was commissioned in 2383.

Avalon Fleet Yards was founded in 2357 over Avalon II to take advantage of the wealth of dilithium and deuterium present in the Avalon System. Initially, an ''Anchorage''-class facility was deployed there to manage several dry docks. Over the decades, more and more dry docks were brought online, up to several hundred in the 2370s, when it was an important facility for shipbuilding well behind the Federation's defensive lines. Starfleet added Presidium-class stations during the war to house supplementary construction crews, but by the end of the war, it was clear that the ''Anchorage''-class facility was insufficient to provide routine maintenance support and overall command-and-control facilities for the system. In 2377, a new ''Probert''-class station was ordered. When the facility was commissioned in 2383 as Brahms Station, it was one of the first ''Probert''-class stations in the Federation.

== Content Guidelines ==
== Organization & Senior Staff ==
Content written for Starbase Bravo must comply with the lore policy, which allows for a broad range of stories and interactions.  
Brahms Station is itself a major command, and would be the centerpiece of any sector it found itself in alone, with its commanding officer also serving as the sector commander. In this case, the commanding officer of Brahms Station, a senior officer between the ranks of captain and rear admiral, reports to the Commander and Deputy Commander of Avalon Fleet Yards, and it is Avalon's commander that is also the Grazer Sector Commander. Department heads aboard Brahms Station run the gamut from lieutenant commanders to captains. While an independent ''Probert''-class station would expect to have senior commanders and captains in department head roles, some of the departments on Brahms Station such as science and engineering are smaller than usual, because these functions are duplicated by roles carried out by the fleet yards staff and on other stations, which allows more junior officers to hold department head responsibilities.  


# Content written for Starbase Bravo must comply with the [[Loremaster Policy|lore policy]], which allows for a broad range of stories and interactions. Consult the [[Bravo Fleet Timeline]] or the [[Starbase Bravo|Starbase Bravo in-character article]]. for more information on our specific canon setting.
As of April 2401, the role of Brahms Station Commanding Officer is held by the Commander of Avalon Fleet Yards, Admiral Aubrey Seagraves, until she selects a permanent station commander in the coming months.
# The Intelligence Officer has the final say on what content is appropriate for any Bravo Fleet story, so if you have a question about this policy, you may wish to consult with them before posting.
{| class="wikitable"
# Proofreading is encouraged as a courtesy to your fellow authors, and posts that are unintelligible or gibberish may be removed by the Intelligence Officer. With that being said, it's never appropriate to mock someone for spelling or grammar "mistakes."
|+Brahms Station Senior Officer Roster
# Posts are encouraged to be in third-person prose, from a past perspective.
!Position
# Do not use other people's characters without permission. Ask for a joint post instead, especially given that the point of this sandbox is to encourage interaction! With that being said, if you wish to hold a senior role on the station, it's expected that you should be reasonably open to joint post requests.
!Rank
## It's rude to start a joint post without first asking if the player owning the character wishes to write with you.
!Holder
## Try to respond to a tag within 48 hours, or at least reach out to the other author(s) to discuss your situation. Repeatedly agreeing to joint posts and then leaving other authors hanging could result in a warning, as described later in the retention section, but we understand that life happens so just communicate!
!Member
## Department Head characters are more like special guest stars or recurring characters than active participants in most plots, and these positions are held by senior fleet staff. If you ask in advance, and have a compelling story reason for doing so, they may allow you to use their characters for very minor interactions—just ask!
|-
## It is okay to ''reference'' other characters, though, especially the station's senior staff, as long as you aren't implying actions not consistent with their biographies.
|Commanding Officer
# Do not alter the environment of the station without permission from staff, which would include any event that would impact characters outside of the post you are writing. Examples include station-wide illnesses, major security threats, severe accidents, or anything that would likely result in the station's senior-most staff needing to be informed about it. This ensures that anyone can join at any time without needing to take into account the actions of every writer—and keeps our sandbox intact for everyone to enjoy.

=== Explicit Content Rating ===
|[https://bravofleet.com/user/669 Liam Dahlgren(ID: 669)]
Starbase Bravo is rated 111 on the [https://rpgrating.com/create RPG Ratings Scale,] which is intended to be suited to members as young as 13, the minimum age to be a part of Bravo Fleet. This means that references to violence, cursing, and sex should be no more graphic than they are on shows such as ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and ''Star Trek: Discovery''. '''When writing with others, always ask before writing content that includes swearing, sex, or violence. Posts that do not follow these guidelines may be deleted at the Intelligence Officer's discretion.'''
|-
 
|Executive Officer
# '''Language: Infrequent, mild swearing is permitted.'''
|
## Mores differ on how much swearing is appropriate, and different regions treat different expletives differently (c.f. The word ‘cunt’ in American English vs most of the Commonwealth countries’ regional Englishes.) so this policy will be enforced with grace, but, unfortunately, is an instance where American English will serve as the standard, as that is the dialect most prominent in Star Trek.
|
## Picard brought us the first instances of “fuck” in Star Trek, which is the limit of how crass one should be on SBB, but it should be extremely infrequent.
|
### Generally speaking, fuck should be used to express exasperation not to describe sexual behavior. “Fuck!” versus “He fucked him.” Use your common sense, here.
|-
## Keep in mind that Starfleet officers, while explicitly not part of any military, are disciplined professionals. Regular swearing on duty is not something that would happen, and it’s likely something that could have (mild) in-character consequences.
|Senior Officer of the Watch
# '''Sex: Mild sexual innuendo and references permitted.'''
|
## This is not Game of Thrones but we’re also not the Brady Bunch. If are referencing sex, consider why you are doing so and what it’s adding to a particular scene.
|
## References to specific sexual acts should generally be avoided (and, again, think about why you would make them at all) but you don’t have to pretend a couple is celibate either. Fade to black when Star Trek would.
|
### “You were great last night.” ← OK. It references sex (maybe), but doesn’t get too specific.
|-
### “He [blanked] my [blank] in the Jefferies tube.” ← Pushing it, as it’s a reference, not a description.
|Chief Operations Officer
### “The two of them [adverb] [sex act verb] each other, starting with their [adjective] [body part, pl.], and working down to the [body part]...” ← Just no.
|
## This restriction is not meant to be regressive or prudish in nature, but to make sure that our content is appropriate for all members. Sex and love are great–and our characters are sentient beings who are likely having it. We don’t have to ignore that, but we also don’t need to read the play-by-play of your cybering.
|
## Sexual violence is never appropriate content for this sandbox.
|
# '''Violence: Mild violence is permitted'''
|-
## One of the great things about energy weapons is that they don’t tend to leave gruesome wounds. Either it stuns, kills, or vaporizes a being entirely. As this is what we deal with most, leaving the description to ‘a dead body’ is sufficient, as there wouldn’t be maiming and that sort of thing. There’s just no need to go into a lot of blood and gore to get the point across, because that’s not a normal feature of the genre.
|Chief Security Officer
### That being said, why would there be a dead body on Starbase Bravo at all?
|
## Phaser fire fights are to be expected when the story calls for them, keeping the above in mind.
|
### Probably unlikely to occur off of the holodeck or in training scenarios in the heart of the Federation, though.
|
## There shouldn’t be references to or uses of modern day firearms, on the holodeck or not.
|-
## Self-harm, sexual violence, and domestic violence are not appropriate content for this sandbox.
|Chief Engineering Officer
 
|
== Player Retention and Removal ==
|
Membership on Starbase Bravo is open to all, but it is a privilege not a right and can be revoked in certain circumstances.
|
 
|-
# Members who AWOL out (i.e. are inactive for sixty days or more) will have their characters removed from the sandbox. While this will not prevent someone from re-applying when they rejoin or force them to re-earn the tier they last had when they return to active status, it does open any restricted positions back up for grabs. This is to keep people from hoarding important roles.
|Chief Tactical Officer
# Members who break the rules listed here or other fleet policies may be removed from Starbase Bravo through the collective judgement of the Intelligence Officer and Operations Officer.
|
## Content or Citizenship Offenses not rising to the level of a magistrate complaint will be handled administratively based on the number of offenses. Members may appeal to the Bravo Fleet Executive Officer if they feel their conduct has been unfairly judged.
|
### Initial Offense: Warning
|
### Second Offense: Removal and 30 day probation on re-applying
|-
### Third Offense, following reinstatement: Removal and 60 day probation on re-applying.
|Chief Science Officer
## Content or Citizenship Offenses rising to the level of a magistrate complaint will be referred to the Magistrate, with the member suspended from Starbase Bravo pending the conclusion of any proceedings.

This facility is the primary service point for starships that only need resupply or minor repairs, and new ships are often transferred here after their formal launch to receive their crews before departing, while ships are actually constructed or refit at the various dry docks in the vicinity.
