Welcome to the Starbase M-69
I am Commodore Sureth and I want to welcome you to our hidden oasis.
We operate currently in an alternate time line with a prime year of 2400 or Stardate 77000 and are located near the Sagitarrius A star system . With recent Essary and other unknown activities looming Starbase M-69 is the last Federation outpost out there for numerous races and species to find safety.
Join our trek .
Currently we are a PG 16 site and ask that you enjoy writing with in that age range.

Theta Fleet AI Policy
Simming is considered cooperative storytelling, or improvisational storytelling. It can occasionally be solo posts, but more often it's two or more people writing a scene or story together. We play off what others have written and add what our character would say or do. Writing on sims helps us become better writers. But mostly, simming is for having fun.
There has been a good deal of controversy online and in the world of writing in general about the use of AI in writing (both professionally and for fun).
Theta Fleet, like many other organizations, does not support or allow the use of AI in writing. Not in coming up with or augmenting tags, creating character bios, writing solo posts or personal logs.
AI may be used to create character avatars (character images), mission images (images to help the crew visualize where the mission is set, or what they will be facing), or to help with mission creation (coming up with mission ideas, background on a world or civilization to help with worldbuilding). It may also be used to flesh out histories for non-canon species.
Players found to be using AI outside the accepted parameters will be given a warning. Players who continue to use AI may be banned from the fleet.
In addition to the warning, players found to be using AI will be ineligible for fleet awards, as they are for player contribution, not AI contribution. Continued use of AI with the COs consent may also make the sim ineligible for awards.
We acknowledge that there are rare cases when the use of an AI program like Chat GPT is necessary. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We ask that any players wishing to use AI talk with their COs first.
If English is a player's second language, using a translation program is fine.
This is not to punish anyone who believes AI makes them a better writer. It is to preserve the nature of cooperative storytelling—which also helps writers improve their craft. In this, we align ourselves with most amateur and professional writing organizations, magazines, and publishing houses.
OOC- Please disregard the previous discussion of AI.
» Quantum Slipstream Drive
Posted on Wed Jul 2nd, 2025 @ 2:22pm by Commodore Sureth in Sim Announcement
From the mind of ChatGPT
Quantum Slipstream Drive – Summary
1. Speed and Range (within Star Trek universe logic):
In optimal conditions, a ship using slipstream can cross thousands of light-years in hours or a single day.
In one canon example, the USS Voyager traveled 300 light-years in a few minutes (Episode: “Hope and Fear”).
Conservatively, we estimated a slipstream-capable ship might travel up to 10,000–20,000 light-years in 24 hours under ideal conditions.
2. How it works (theory):
It generates a subspace tunnel that cuts through normal space-time.
Think of it like surfing a subspace “wave” rather than pushing through space like warp.
It’s not stable without constant micro-adjustments (which required advanced computing or alien help early on).
3. Physical Effects on Humanoids:
Early slipstream attempts caused massive strain on both ships and crew.
Potential side effects include vertigo, temporal disorientation, and molecular stress.
Later versions stabilized the effects, especially with shielding and inertial dampeners.
4. Comparison to Internet Packets (your cool idea!):
Yes, we said slipstream is somewhat like sending data packets through optimized “tunnels” instead of straight-line travel. More efficient, but requires a precise path.

Hello Wonderful Team,
We have won another award for our great writing. Thank you all.
I started us on our next mission Stellar Problems which will feature some excellent stuff for us to write and I look forward to everyone jumping in .
This is a science, engineering and danger filled plot that should have something for everybody.

Our standoff with the blue ship has thus far been relentless. Ops officer Nic Covenant believes they are making repairs from a battle with USS Bohr a day ago.
Nevertheless we attempt a reasonable outcome. Later today we will again attempt a reception for our Savai Ambassadors.
