Welcome to the USS Arizona.
The USS Arizona, a Sovereign-class vessel and the second to bear the name, is charged with the mission of both exploration and defense. Her crew, a haphazard assortment of personalities and backgrounds united together under the banner of one of the most eccentric and utterly chaotic commanders in Starfleet history. Put them together and you find yourself among some of the most exciting happenings in the 24th century.
The Arizona was a member of Bravo Fleet and was, since her humble beginning in December of 2010, a fixture in the community in which she belonged. In her second incarnation, the USS Arizona was converted into a canon fiction simulation, seeking to write the stories that form a backdrop for events pointed to in Trek canon, and others of our own design.
In her latest incarnation, the USS Arizona was reborn as a tribute to the late Lyn M. Mosher, wife of the game's creator and the last serving Executive Officer prior to the game's closure at the end of February 2012. Though many people have come and gone from the corridors of this fine ship, none of them have been forgotten, nor shall they ever be.
We invite you to lurk, read, and perhaps one day become apart of the legacy that is the Arizona.
With kind regards,
Captain Nathan Cowell, MD
USS Arizona, Commanding

Greetings all,
As of today, 4 October 2011, the USS Arizona has been awarded the Bravo Fleet Admiralty Unit Citation. What this means, basically, is that the powers that be (excluding myself because I wasn't aware we'd been nominated until the vote suddenly cropped up) have selected our great simulation for this award because of the outstanding performance that each member of this simulation puts forth in the portrayal of their characters and the execution of our stories. You all set the standard for the rest of the Fleet to follow, and as such it is just as much your award as it is mine.
So, congratulations to each of you, and to the Arizona as a whole. Keep up the good work!

greetings everyone,
i'd like to take a few minutes to say a few things before we get into the 'meat and potatoes' of our current mission. first and foremost i would like to apologize for my silence in the last few weeks. for those unaware of the happenings of my life, i've been dealing with a number of personal issues that have left me in a rather depressive state and thus not really active in anything outside of work. to those who have been inquired about my absence and have just generally been supportive, i appreciate your thoughts and concerns. and though i am no where near 100% in terms of mental stability i believe i am well enough to return to active simming.
secondly, i'd like to thank those who have continued on with the mission despite these abrupt 'pauses'. it is no lie when i tell you that the arizona is one of the best sims in this fleet for the very reason that you all make it that way. i hope that you all continue to bless us with your greatness.
thirdly, with the away mission currently taking place i will be hosting afternoon tea for those of you remaining aboard! anyone who wishes to participate please let me know... and as always to anyone who i've yet had the pleasure of posting with my proverbial door is usually open.
warm regards,
lyn

I'd love to do JPs as backposts with anyone Julia hasn't met yet. I'd also like to do JPs with any NPCs you may want to write for as Julia gets to know the enlisted crew.
Hit me up! (or I'll catch you once I get an idea for something)
Thanks,
Anna

As of this message, Lt. Sylvari has decided to leave us. While the character hasn't been with us long, both her and the player have made an impact. It is hoped that they will return to us, either as Sylvari or another character later. We wish Luke luck!

Soraya surveyed the bridge, as she stepped onto it for the first time. The Captain's chair sat empty, Lieutenants Marion and Akron were manning the front stations, and it looked like a petty officer was manning security. Currently, the roster had no Chief Operations Officer, which made Lieutenant Marion her…
