Some ships explore strange new worlds. Some ships defend our liberties. Some ships maintain the upkeep of Starfleet’s facilities and personnel to maintain their exploration and defence initiatives. The Dallas is of the latter.
While most goods and personnel throughout the Federation are transported within civilian vessels or given to deep space cruisers on the far edges of the Federation as waypoints on their journey, some items are of a critical or sensitive nature and are overseen by the Starfleet Operational Command Logistical Corps.
What would largely be considered a “B-Plot”, or even a minor duty, without such a critical support infrastructure, the Federation and Starfleet would cease to operate. This crew would aim to capitalise on the mundane and the lacklustre to achieve compelling technical and strongly character driven RP.
While not restricted from the oft more heroic or theatrical events of First Contact or potentially hostile encounters they are not the focus of the Dallas’ missions, instead the transport of critical and sometimes hazardous or volatile specialist cargo that would not be entrusted to civilian agencies to outer starbases or deep space vessels, assisting in medical emergency quarantines, assisting in evacuation from suspected hostile territories and complementing science teams with experienced personnel from the Dallas.
The Dallas may be chosen for experimental technologies that are still requiring testing before being deployed fleet wide or even to front line vessels and there are plenty of opportunities for personal projects and development to become a focus. The goal is to allow interpersonal RP aboard a ship setting through duty, without being crowded around a bar.
THIS RP STYLE MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE, it’s likely to be stylistically different from what current events are. The GM will be a random number generator more than someone who knows how the end of an event will play out. There may be critical successes, there may be critical failures. Bring your Treknobabble, it may help you get out of many a situation where rolls fail you. The technical aspects of this RP may require procedures to be followed correctly IC or people may get hurt!

Yes, just please don’t scratch the paint, she’s a classic
