General Advice
Nova is coded to time-out forms if they are not submitted within a certain time frame. As such, it is strongly recommended that you type out the contents of each field somewhere like MS Word, or Google Docs first, so that you can then simply Copy/Paste into the application form, and save yourself frustrations if your application is lost due to a time-out.
Key Timeline Points
Here are just a couple of major events in the Star Trek chronology, in order to aid in the formation of character histories. Npt every character needs to have witnessed said events, but they would know of things during their lifetime, and know less of things before their lifetime.

Character Creation Guidelines
In accordance with Pegasus Fleet's Restricted Character Policy, the following are strictly prohibited without Admiralty authorisation, on a case-by-case basis.
- Shapeshifter (Changelings, Chameloids, 8472...)
- Androids, Augments or mobile emitter-equipped Holograms.
- Races from the Delta Quadrant.
- Races from the opposing side of recent wars or of a hostile nature to Starfleet.
- Characters with physical or mental powers beyond those shown by major characters on the shows/movies (Excluding other restricted or disallowed races)
- Characters with physical appearance or behavioural traits dissimilar enough so as to cause confusion over the characters actual age. (ie: Adults that look like children or characters appearing childlike behave as adults)
- Characters from official sources, or their relations.
Rules Agreement
By proceeding with this application, you are asserting that you have read, and agree to abide by, the USS Endurance Rules and Guidelines.
Sample Post
A Sample Post is a necessary part of the application process. It allows the Command Team to assess your style and form of writing, to gain a complete picture of how you would fit in with the SIM and crew. As such, if an Application is submitted without the appropriate Sample Post response, the Command Team will reach out via email, and you will have seven (7) days to respond with the Sample Post, or your application will be rejected.
A Sample Post should ideally be a minimum of 500-750 words in length, though a longer Sample Post will make your application stand out.
N.B. If you have interacted with the Command Staff on another Sim, and they can attest to yopur writing, a Sample Post can be waived.
