Wallace is linked as it was posted to the station, it's crew were on dual assignment as we were posted to both Wallace & DS17 and regularly had missions (not just shore leave) on the station. If Triumphant is the same then very well but if not then either leave it in the Ithassa Region bit and off the DS17 menu OR add Indy-A and maybe Ursa Major too... - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 04:11, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

* As both Admiral Anassasi and Hollis have said, Deep Space 17 serves the Ithassa Fleet (and vice versa). I think the best course is to just change the wording of the text from craft assigned to starship support, as this better reflects the joint and collaborative voices of several crews instead of just one, as it should be. ;-) [[User:DCody|DCody]] 19:48, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

If you give a page a wrong title, there's a tab at the top of the page, to the right of Edit, that says "Move". Try that, it allows you to retitle a page and thus means less deleting is needed. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt Cmdr.

==Free Trade Union==
As per a conversation with first Captain Taboo of the USS Eagle and then Captain T'Pen of the USS Challenger, my primary character has requested a transfer to the USS Challenger, however I wanted to continue to be of some use on the USS Eagle so after much discussion with Captain Taboo we considered all the NPC's that I had been simming for and he suggested that I promote Devitt to be my new secondary... this will become official once the transfer has taken place. At that time I will make the final adjustments to transform her into my new PC on the Eagle... however I have been doing a lot of sims with her already... way more than with most of the other NPC's I use on a regular basis...[[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 09:26, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

== Phaelasour & Ilbera species ==


Were these species shown, mentioned, or referred to on a Star Trek episode or movie? If not, then they should ''not'' be listed in the "restricted" category. Instead, until they are reviewed and approved, they need to be listed in the "[[:Category:Non-Reviewed Species|Non-Reviewed Species]]" and the [[:Category:Non-Canon Species|Non-Canon Species]] categories. For an example, see [[Adanni]]. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 21:33, 4 August 2007 (CDT)
==Ithassa Region, Races & Other Items==
I do not want to see any more deletion pages of original Ithassa Region races created by other members of the UFOP that have been redesigned as your sole creation, such as the Ramdii. Since I happen to know the simmer who named the Ramdii and on which yahoogroups list that name first appeared, I find this in poor taste.


*I just added some details to the Phaelasour listing. I have no idea about them. The same goes for the Ilbera who were mentioned by my First Officer. I will change them. Canreb
Since I am aware what RAdm. Hollis and RAdm Anassasi said to you, I ask you from this point forward to not alter or claim ownership of any more pages that were originally designed to the Ithassa Region by your fellow UFOP members. Since you were told to rename several pages over a year ago, I am rolling back some pages to their original status. Any subsequent pages will not be touched, but we will check to make sure you follow through on what you were instructed to do by the COs of the Ithassa Region. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 03:23, 5 July 2009 (EDT)


== Signature ==
In regards to that I have no idea what you are talking about. I have not touched anything within the Ithassa Region since haveing that conversation. What I have done is to take all the stuff I wrote for that region and reused it after renaming the races something else and placeing it within a region of my own design.


To leave the timestamp, type 4 tildes (e.g. <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). It'll also provide a link to profile, and save you typing it all out manually ;) [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 19:32, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
As I said then I will never create or write anything includeing posts as requested for that region ever. All the data that was deleted was done by someone else (Lt. Salak). He were good enough to send me copies of everything I had wrote before resetting everything back the way it was before I started adding things.


== Break tags are not necessary in most cases ==
In fact if you look above you will see where you spoke to me about this under '''Vonda & Subsequent Pages''' and '''Deleting Pages'''. Also the whole conversation regarding getting back what I had written and my willingness to change the names of the races and rewrite then as my own creations.


I noticed that you're using a lot of <nowiki><br></nowiki> tags in your markup. You'd be better off, instead, using bullet points. Also, instead of just bolding section headings, use the subheadings marketup. You can see examples of both these changes, [http://www.wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Rush%2C_Heidi&diff=32815&oldid=32794 here]. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 16:03, 3 September 2007 (CDT)
As for the Ramdii. Anything that is currently there should have been returned to it's original format before I touched it originally. I have not even looked at any of the pages for that region as they are off limits to me as ordered. Lt. Salak was nice enough to do all the work of deleteing all the work I had added, even all the original data that I had created that had no referances to anyone else's work in the region.  


== [[Devitt, Darla]] ==
I even asked him to delete the work I had done while a crewmember of the USS Triumphant which had operated in that region. So all the mission data and new discoveries we made as part of that crew should also have been deleted if I wrote them. Again in keeping with your orders to delete any and all works that I had a hand in within the Ithassa Region.


Just curious but does the USS Berlin mean the same ship as the Excelsior class vessel named in TNG? If not then feel free to remove the link. Also, naming convention for pages is surname first, then given name(s). - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.JG Salak</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 11:09, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
If for some reason this has not been done I apologize. Since I was still very new to the wiki at that time I left all the deletions to Lt. Salak. I had no idea and still am not sure exactly how a page can be returned to an older version altho Lt. Salak did explain it to me once and I might be able to figure it out on my own now.


*I used the name because I had read of it in one of the novels, so it probally is the same ship as that from the show. Also I will try and remember to do the names in the right order. Canreb [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 15:37, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
However I promised to never touch, write, create or in any way do anything regarding the Ithassa Region and I have kept that promise. I have never returned to or even viewed any of the pages linked to that area since being ordered to stop. [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 00:19, 6 July 2009 (EDT)


== [[Talk:Blank NPC page]] ==
: The problem is it was not done, and I'm at a complete loss to why this was not taking care of over a year ago. The "original" pages were marked slated for deletion, not your pages. Which is why I decided to wait before deleting any more of this in case it had not been finished. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 14:20, 6 July 2009 (EDT)


I left a note on the above linked talk page a while ago. If it's possible for the quiery to be answered? The group has various existing templates for PC's, and it wouldn't be too hard to adjust the page to work in the same way. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.JG Salak</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 05:43, 29 October 2007 (CDT)
:: Sir, I had all my original material moved and renamed well over a year ago. Even the stuff that was deleted that I had written has been moved and renamed. In many cases even rewritten so as to make it all completely original and totally my work.
*I have seen some of them....  I just added the blank one to the master crew list at the bottom of the list to make it easier for me or any other member of the crew who might want to use it to find it. canreb [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 20:31, 5 November 2007 (CST)
**Well you can easily paste the text of one of the templates onto a page by typing, for example <nowiki>{{subst:Bioadvanced}}</nowiki>, which would give you the text of [[Template:Bioadvanced]]. (subst being short for substitute, the <nowiki>{{}}</nowiki> bit around the text being code to insert a template, much as <nowiki>[[]]</nowiki> is the code for a link) Just thought that might be simpler and could be easily rolled out across the fleet too. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.JG Salak</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 13:30, 6 November 2007 (CST)

== Naming pages properly ==
:: At the time that all this was being done I was still extremely new to the wiki. Lt. Salak did a lot of the retrevial and deletions as far as I know. He was the only person other than yourself that I talked to about it.


Hello. Thank you for taking such an interest in the wiki. However, I do need you to please carefully review the [[Naming pages properly]] article. Some of your page names are not specific enough, such as [[Current Crew Roster]], and will have to be moved. Thanks! --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 19:28, 7 January 2008 (CST)
:: Due to my limited knowledge at that time of how to use the wiki I did not touch anything once I was told to stop and desist. In fact I am pretty sure that I have never gone back and viewed any of the Ithassa Region stuff since then. I thought it was all being taken care of. I appologize for it not being taken care of. I guess I should have double checked.


== Ship Nav ==
:: In fact that is about the time I got very busy creating the Trinity, Serellan and Jenatris sectors of space. A project that I got approval to work on first before I started since I learned my lesson to ask before I leap.
Don't forget your ship nav. ;-) Saves the trouble of hitting the back button on browsers. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 10:49, 10 January 2008 (CST)

Hey, just a reminder about naming pages properly (see [[User talk:Canreb#Naming pages properly|above]]). -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 12:27, 10 January 2008 (CST)

When creating articles, unless you are adding something with details specific to our SB118 universe, just link to the appropriate [[ma:Main Page|Memory Alpha]] article. We aren't here to copy canon information already available, but to create our SB118 universe in detail. Thanks. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 12:27, 10 January 2008 (CST)


== Eagle nav ==
::: Nonsense. It wasn't trouble as much it was a misunderstanding. What bothered several people were changes were being made that had not been simmed, and just created on the spot. Your contributions, whether on the Triumphant or elsewhere, are valued. :) However, with these Wiki pages, members are constantly adding stuff to existing pages, in part based on what the crew, whether past, present, or future, '''''sims'''''. This is why no Wiki page is ever truly complete. LOL What I hope I can encourage you to think on is just enough, but not completely flushed out... this especially becomes important if you pursue command. If we design too much detail, it curtails creativity.


I've removed a chunk of links as I thought they'd belong better on the as yet unwritten deck listings page. The menu was reading as a long, unbroken list and didn't look too good. If you really feel they should go on there then I'd suggest indenting them or breaking the list up into more section seperated by horizontal lines (<nowiki>----</nowiki>). I've also corrected a few links so that they point to where the Eagles pages should be instead of general disambiguation pages. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.JG Salak</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 10:06, 11 January 2008 (CST)
::: For example, let's take the Ramdii. ;) For years, even before I came back, simmers on all of the Ithassa crews used the ram-horned species that was a part of the FTU. They did not have a name. They are simply a NPC race for anyone to use. Then take one Lieutenant who comes along and says, you know, this race needs a name. Let's call them Ramdii, and put that on the main page of the Ithassa Region (where a bunch of these FTU races had been placed). That's all, just name them. Don't spell out the culture, or planets, or anything else. Someone else can step in and have fun with those elements.


== Eagle History ==
::: In this way, the Ramdii remain a flexible NPC race for anyone to contribute and add to. There's just enough there for other simmers to figure out what's been done before and work with, but allow for the maximum flexibility in case they get creative and add some distinctive element I could have never thought of in a million years. That's simming, my friend. ;) It's the collaborative effort of everyone, whether Trinity or Ithassa, or otherwise.


Just a thought - there's a not-quite-canon reference from an old roleplay sourcebook that mentions a USS Eagle, Constitution-class, as being crewed entirely by Andorians around the time of TOS. If you wanted to add it to past ships called 'Eagle' there's some info on Memory Alpha. [[User:Hutch|Hutch]] 16:09, 13 February 2008 (CST)
::: As such, I love your creativity. But... everyone else has a say in the design as well. We should write something one of these days. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 00:18, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>holds hands up* I'm largely to blame for the [[Previous ships called Eagle]] page, it's effectively a load of info dumped there and needs a clean up. I put what I could find up about the Eagle a year or two ago, long before it was actually recommissioned. A lot of it is from Wikipedia, with a bit from MA but there might be more at each now. If you want to try tidy it up, try to make each entry brief, we don't want redundancy. Wikipedia has info for ships named [[wp:USS Eagle|USS Eagle]] and [[wp:HMS Eagle|HMS Eagle]], there might be ships with other prefixes I've forgotten. You can link to wikipedia by typing wp: in front of a link name, e.g. [[wp:USS Eagle]], with wp replaced with ma for Memory Alpha. Add a vertical bar <nowiki>|</nowiki> at the end of the link to lose the prefix, e.g. [[wp:USS Eagle|USS Eagle]]. On later inspection, the wiki will automatically add the text minus the prefix to the link after the line. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

== Attention ==
Thank you. I look forward to possible working with you some day as well. I understand what you mean by everyone being able to contribute and being able to add to a race, planet, story, mission, etc. The planet Miri that I created as part of the Trinity, Serellan Sector project has been used twice by the USS Eagle and as a result I had to add a lot of stuff and then alter some of my original stuff as well as a result of sims we posted. It is still a long way away from being a complete entry. I am still hopeing that other crews will use it as it is also a tribute to the original Star Trek since it was the location of one of the original TV episodes. I have ton's of ideas for mission on that planet. Same as I have for the other one that the USS Eagle has visited twice in the Trinity Sector. Cart'hen III.

When you create pages and add a new '''[['''Category:MiraIII''']]'''' , I would like you to click on that link and create the category page at the same time (i.e. a short one sentence description, such as "Articles pertaining to...."). Our Categories Wanted page has exploded. ;)
<br> Additionally, your User talk page here is getting rather lengthy. :D Please think about breaking all this into smaller sections, or you can do what I do, and move talk pages to user talk archive pages.

2: The [[Previous ships called Eagle]] page needs work. I started it ages ago, whilst Eagle was still an unused ship, but the blurb needs editing down (ideally to a paragraph a ship), plus I've only put stuff on 3 of the Royal Navy's Eagles on there. Follow the link at the bottom and you'll find there have so far been a lot more than 3... 18 if I'm not mistaken. It might be worth picking and choosing the most prestigeous of ships as fitting over 20 ships onto one page could be interesting.

Hi there. I just noticed the Corvian homeworld is listed as in the Beta Quadrant, but as [[Deep Space 10]] orbits the planet and the system is established as being in the [[Menthar Corridor]], it should actually be in the Alpha Quadrant. I'm not sure if that affects the sector numbering though. [[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 13:31, 10 January 2014 (CST)

:Oh, I undid your edits to Intrepid class as this is a wiki mainly for material that is canon only to us.

I've created the [[Intelligent Lifeform Index/Gallery|separate galleries]]. I've incorporated the SDC nav links into a slimmer template that goes with the style of the new ILI.

Oh and just for reference, the images I think look best would put at 250px so there's no black around them (that's just there for now because there are many set below 250). For instance, here's [[Andorian|Andorian at 250]]
b) Have you seen [[:Image:Starbase118-map.jpg]] which could influence the development of the region? - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-paladin.jpg|35px|USS Independence-A]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 13:15, 19 March 2008 (EDT)


Hello... I have a copy of the map in front of me that I had printed out and enlarged... Eventually I will post the map with the stars named that I have done up systems for...
:SORRY, I meant 250... I could make it so the template automatically displays it at 250, but then we'd have to go through and delete every image size setting across the ILI... so... yeah, probably not. :) –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.

As for a Sector name... I thought Starbase 118... after all it is the most important item in this sector... it is the main base for the game... and it is almost in the center of the sector...

:Done. I've also added a new parameter to the ILI, ILI Restricted, ILI Forbidden, and ILI TBD templates. If the word for a species plural is just adding an s (i.e., human -> humans), the template simply adds the s for the "List of Named Whatevers."

I used both the star charts located on this wikki and from the book '''Star Trek Star Charts - The complete Atlas of Star Trek by Geoffrey Mandel''' I need to add the third dimension factor for each system and item in Space Sector - Starbase 118 - I had been playing around with also calling the sector '''Trinity''' due to it being the juction point of 3 major space power's...

How are these?


The one referance I have been useing plus the book above describes space as a HUGE disk like shape... but with some depth... in this case either plus 10 lightyears or minus 10 lightyears depending on it's location either above or below the center line... the major part of the plate... or do we just want to list it as just from bottom to top ot top to bottom...[[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 13:56, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

:[[Academy Library#Flight Control (Navigation)]] might be of use. What's there wasn't put up by me but was familiar to me before I joined the group too. On the Navigating a starship page, the Galactic Co-ords refer to XYZ, where X would be the border between Alpha & Gamma or Beta & Delta. Y would be the border between Alpha & Beta or Gamma & Delta. Z would be perpendicular to both running vertically. The Sun is [[wp:Milky Way|26,000 ± 1400 light-years]] from the [[wp:Sagittarius A*|Galactic Centre]]. We're a '''''barred''''' spiral galaxy by the way. And I can't think off hand of an issue with "Trinity sector". - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

I'll think of something for the restricted to homeworld species. In the meantime, I noticed in a lot of the revamps that the introductory text for species is getting deleted. I think actually it's nice to have a few sentences to introduce the species before the main article (maybe even a quote or saying from said culture). I also don't think it's necessary to have the species name as a separate header, and it just clutters the table of contents.

Hope you like the new menu.

I'd hope a similar overhaul could be done with the sector page such that it covers info regarding politics, stellar cartography of the sector, etc... with it becoming less of a list.

:Sigma Corvus should grammatically be Sigma Corvi. A quick google search seems to show no stars by either name. The constellation's close enough for it to be believable. Corvus ?? will also be Corvi ??.

== Categories ==
 
Right... how to add Categories, eh? We'll take [[Roth I]] as an example. Ask yourself, what is the topic of the article? Roth I is a planet, so gets added to [[:Category:Planets]]. It's in the Roth system, so that means adding [[:Category:Roth system]]. Also, it's in the Trinity Sector, so we can add [[:Category:Trinity Sector]] if we wish. We DON'T add it to [[:Category:Roth I]] though as that category would currently contain only one article.
 
If the category appears as a red link at the foot of the page, either the existing category goes by a different spelling (this'd occur if you added [[:Category:Planet]] for example) or the category hasn't been made yet. With the information you're usually adding, an example of this might be [[:Category:Gamma Taboa system]], which would have more than one page and thus be a viable category. For this category, we would have a blurb explaining wht it contains (articles relating to the Gamma Taboa system) and file it under [[:Category:Systems]] as all the articles make up a star system, and under [[:Category:Trinity Sector]] as that's the syystems location.
 
For stars, file under [[:Category:Stars]] rather than Planets, it's [[:Category:Asteroids]] for asteroid fields/belts. If you know the planet class, some of those also have categories :) Hope that's of some help. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

== Stars ==
 
Firstly, read the Categories bit above ;)
 
Secondly. How do you mean? If you mean what to put on each individual star page, see the other star systems for examples. If you mean the Trinity Sector page, I've got the beginnings of a redraft at [[User:Salak/Trinity]] which I think gets rid of them entirely. As all the systems are linked from the right menu, it may not even be needed to add a summary of them all in the page content, which is meant to be an overview of the whole sector anyway. I'd cite the Ithassa Region as an example except that it's being rewritten as well at the moment. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

::Understandable, but the approach I've used is that on [[Cart'hen system]].

Why are you adding data from the systems pages to the Sector page? If anything, it wants to be taken OFF the sector page.

Actually I'm adding the other way... but I guess your right...I will only add it to the star listing from now on...

:Um, that one's debatable. We have an [[Ithassa Region Stellar Cartography]] (WARNING!

We're unsure how we're going to lay that page out yet, but it leaves [[Ithassa Region]] (our version of the [[Trinity Sector]] page) as an overview of the region and its history.

I took a quick look at the work you are doing for the Ithassa redrafting project... nice work... much bigger area... I see some of my earlier work was kept and used... the only major thing I still want to add to the Trinity Sector main page is an image, copy of the map for just that sector... other than that I am very pleased with how it turned out so far... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 00:58, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
 
Tried to cut out just the Trinity sector and then add it to the site... but pic ended up to small... could not see any details... when I tried to enlarge it first it became burry... not useable... I was hopeing to put map smack dab in the center of the big empty white section on the Trinity sector. [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 01:57, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
 
:Think I've tried that myself with little luck. The map is already linked from the nav though, I just changed the name of the link to make it a tad more obvious (it had been the "(Sector 118)" link at the top). As for Ithassa, yes, it's a huge region. :) No reason such a [[Trinity Sector|crucial sector]] wouldn't have a similarly rich history though; given exploration it should even be more history :) - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-paladin.jpg|35px|USS Independence-A]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 02:08, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
 
Well thats what I tried to do... give Trinity Sector some depth... some history... while also giving lots of interesting simmimg locations and possibilities... now that the Federation part of it is done... next question is how much of the Klingon and Romulan area's of the sector should I fill in?... right now I just have 2 systems identified in both... they are the 2 largest population centers for their respective empires in Trinity sector... I was thinking of leaving most of the Romulan blank to be developed later as their border is closed... but with our treaty with the Klingons... I guess players could do missions in Klingon space... either with NPC Klingons or on their own... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 21:53, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
 
I also checked my copy of the star charts book... the one our master copy of the star charts comes from... certain parts of the Ithassa region seem to be in the wrong spot as portrayed by the plain hand drawn black map... in compareson with the book... (location of the Gorn, Tholians, etc) will that be fixed... also how many sectors does it cover?... and once you have figured out the sectors will you be figureing out the coordinates of each sector?... also with such a huge area how many more systems are their?... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 21:53, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
 
looking at the maps in the book it shows the Gorn below the Klingons in the Beta Quadrant, while the Tholians are WAY over in the Alpha quadrant with the Cardassian, Tkon and the Talarian empires between them and the Gorn... unlike on the Ithassa region map [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 22:05, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
 
After taking another look at the map of the Ithassa region I have to say that it needs to be updated... refined... turned into a more useable version... mind you that's just my opinion... as a working model it's ok... but not for a finished product... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 22:05, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
 
:Not another one moaning about the Ithassa map, lol! At the end of the day, I didn't make it. Also, Star Trek Star Charts is a non-canon reference anyway. I've raised all this with the relevent senior staff. It won't be "fixed". I doubt we'll be looking at sector co-ords, but for the total sector count, it's a lot. I've been asking occassionally for a new, up-to date map for the better part of 2 years, so don't hold your breath. The version there at the sec is correct as of August 2383, with ship positions edited off. Oh, and I think we deduced that the only place Ithassa would possibly fit in the Star Charts is the huge expanse at the bottom, the bit which is little more than a few Federation shipping lanes I guess, given the web nature of it on the map. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

::As for the Klingons and Romulans, don't see why there can't be missions in Klingon space. Fill in what you like. Bear in mind the distrust between the Romulans and Klingons which has become conflict at times (see [[ma:Khitomer Massacre|here]], [[ma:Battle of Narendra III|here]] or [[ma:Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt|here]] for examples). The Romulans became involved in the Klingon civil war too, so there may well be a history of conflict in the region. In addition, there's also the Klingon-Federation relations, which although good at times, can also [[ma:Second Federation-Klingon War|turn foul]].

==Work on Sectors==
 
OK... I will try and add some data for the Klingon systems in Trinity... too bad about the Ithassa region map... I looked at the '''Star Trek Star Charts: The Complete Atlas of Star Trek by Geoffrey Mandel''' again... (how can it's charts be both canon and non-canon???)... anyway from what I can tell... your right... the Ithassa region is below the federation and it stradles the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants... I was able to figure out the distance between the Tholian and the Gorn... ITS 4 Sectors in Alpha space and then 4 Sectors in Beta space for a '''total of 8 Sectors between them'''... that makes the map they provided '''HUGE'''... way to big... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 10:08, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
 
:Did it get mentioned or appear in TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT or any of the films? It didn't, thus it's not canon. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-paladin.jpg|35px|USS Independence-A]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 15:15, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
 
Talk about getting it wrong... another look at the Ithassa region map shows that they have the TZENKETHI COALITION which is in the 3rd sector away from Earth in the Alpha Quadrant as per the Canon star charts saved on the Wikki that we have been useing... no mention of the Cardassian Empire that is inbetween the TZENKETHI and the Tholians... or the Talarian Republic that is also inbetween the 2... Obviously they have all 3 of the Canon Races in the wrong places... (Tholian, Gorn and Tzenkethi)... when so much canon info shows that the map is wrong... why will they not try and fix it??? how hard can it be to make the map again but leave off the 3 Canon races (Tholian, Gorn and Tzenkethi)... that will not change the map they use but does delete the incorrect info... making their map right again???  [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 10:23, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
 
:<nowiki>*sigh*</nowiki> I've raised most of this before. It's not my call, it's the call of the Regions' COs I believe. I've suggested trying to slip it into the gap between the Tholians and cardassians but got told it was the space at the bottom of the map if anything in reply to that. Trying to raise it further, I was then reminded Space is 3D and thus the Star Chart maybe accurate if you cut accross a plane of the galaxy, but above or below that it may be inaccurate. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

well in that case I guess the best that can be done is to try and work with what your stuck with... have started adding to the Klingon part of Trinity Sector... still have 5 star systems to add... used a Klingon dictionary to name the star systems so far... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 15:37, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

OK... I was just wondering why they added it where they did... map confirms their is no possible way it's that close to Trinity Sector... I didn't delete the add on as I wanted to find out why it was added... it should be 3 or 4 more sectors farther away... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 07:06, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
 
==Sector Coordinates==
You do realize, don't you, that we're working with a 2-dimensional representation (picture) of a 3-dimensional object (Outer space). When I said "bottom" in the Jenatris explanation, I meant bottom of the sector, not bottom of the map. On the star charts, we're looking at the sectors top-down. X-axis goes left-right on the map/screen. Y-axis goes up-down on the map/screen. Z-axis moves into and out from the map/screen. So the Jenatris Cloud, being "below" the Trinity Sector on the Z-axis, would be further into the map/screen (almost "behind" the map). You get that, right?-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:54, 28 April 2008 (EDT)


yes I understand that... all the stars on the map are not flat at the same level... some are above the page and some are below the page... if we turned the map so we could see it from the side we would have a narrow band with the number of stars becoming more numerous the closer to the middle... but it would still be 35 stars regardless of if you looked from above like the map or looked from the side... just harder to count them as some would be in the way of others looking from the side... space is WIDE... but it is only about 1 sector deep... like a plate stretched out forever but not very deep... So for the Trinity Sector... if I was to use proper star coordinates then for Starbase 118 I would have to write... X = 8 ly, Y = 10 ly and Z = 0 ly... while H'Atoria might be X = 15 ly, Y = 17 ly and Z = -5 ly... as in 5 ly below the middle of the Sector looking at it from the side... all astronomical info [[wp:Galaxy]] plus the '''Star Trek Star Charts''' book plus other articles I have looked up agree on this fact... space is 3 dimensional but it is also flat and spiral like a plate... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 15:42, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
== Quote template ==


:Right. So this being a FICTICIOUS setting (Star Trek is not "real") we can tweak some things a bit. Now, where we are in the spiral arm of the galaxy, it's more than one sector thick. And if I created the Jenatris Cloud and the other things behind it, Geoffrey Mandel wouldn't have known to put it in his book. So, while I was CO of the USS Atlantis, I created this area, below what you now call "Trinity Sector", and my crew and I simmed there. Seeing as how you have to go through Trinity Sector to get out of it, and to the Jenatris Cloud and beyond, I thought it natural to insert that info into the Trinity Sector description.-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 08:50, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

==Caraadian Request==
Canreb, when I created the Caraadian species, the entire purpose was to have a species that did not originate in the Expanse, that had mysteriously left their homeworld tens of thousand of years ago and no longer knew where or what it was. This was important to the species, but even more important to the idea of the Expanse and how the individual cultures mixed, and why. While I was gone from the UFoP:SB118 for a couple of years, the Caraadians sat dormant and in the void, you saw fit to "update" the missing data. Unfortunately, that ruined the mystique that I had set up, and in some places contradicted ideas that I was trying to establish. I'm not mad, and I'm not blaming you. This is a wiki where anyone can edit things. But is there any chance I can rewrite at least some of this to bring it back to what I was trying to establish in the first place? Do I have to file an official form or something with the Species Development Committee? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 15:12, 10 April 2015 (CDT)

I did not put the FTU beside DS17 but it is not far off... 1 or 2 sectors are in between them... just trying to place the races I created in relations to the Federation border and DS17... The black map has no border for the feds shown... the offical map shows that the Federation border extends down into that area... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 14:52, 26 May 2008 (EDT)

Hello, sir! Long time no speak! I've started playing a member of the budding species as a part of the Darwin's multispecies initiative and would like to go in a different direction than the animated gif of the mosquito-like creature that's on our current wiki page. (There's nothing in canon that says they're bugs, so I liked the idea of getting creative with what's already been specified on DS9!)


I was assumeing that part of the Ithassa Region was inside the Federation border... That would put DS17 just on the border with the none Federation parts of the Ithassa Region... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 14:55, 26 May 2008 (EDT)

The layout you have used ('''Planetary survey information''') is almost identical from the book... it is the same book I used to work out most of the data for each system in the Trinity Sector... I just left out most of the stuff that did not seem to fit in with Star Trek like Civilization: Population - 200 million Ga'teran's on world and about 50 million Ga'teran's off world , 22 million slaves on world, Tech level - ???, Control rating - ???, Society - ???, Starports - ???, Installations - ???

Hey there! I saw that you were working on the Ohanze and wanted to let you know a number of things have been simmed about them previously on Veritas that you may find useful. LtCmdr Sky Blake has updated the [[Ohanze]] page with the information from our mission involving them but most specifically, the Ohanze do not have a single home world system (at least not in modern times). Also the Ohanze are native to the shoals and specifically the shadows. You won’t generally find them beyond the confines of the shoals. Lastly we established that the Ohanze have no decipherable unique language intelligible/speakable humanoids. The universal translater  instead simply gives direct translations of words and names into their literal meanings. Thus if the group known as the  Tusurn originates within the language of the ohanze then it would just be known as the “Glorious Defiance” since there wouldn’t be a specific Ohanze word used. Based on the characterization of the species, I’d also suggest they’d likely not be the “largest terrorist” group as they mostly keep to themselves, although perhaps they are members of the Black Sun Tribe that are known as raiders who prey on both Ohanze and non Ohanze alike for survival. I don’t want to suggest more can’t be added to the Ohanze in sims and whatnot but wanted to make sure you knew about some of these established traits so we can keep the species consistent. The Ohanze page should have the relevant detail. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks! [[User:Rich|'''♫ Rich''' <small>(Capt.

That's the good news... I hope they do... then they can add more detail to the bare bones descriptions I have written up so far... all I have done is give a starting point... a simplist description of the FTU races and the systems they control... hopefully the players will by simming be able to expand and improve these entries... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 04:14, 7 June 2008 (EDT)
Every page about species, general NPCs, or often-used locations should utilize a references template. This can be achieved by adding <nowiki>{{References}}</nowiki> at the end of the page.  


OK... I finished the rewrites on the member races of the FTU and their homeworld systems... I hope it proves useful... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 13:49, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

:Talk page is raising questions over the name "Cait". I've removed all co-ord references from the index page due to lack of a z-axis, which makes them practically meaningless. Also, various sectors seem VERY densely packed. Especially given the intro states "''1000 days to cross, or 2 years and a little over nine months, '''systems and local governments are far and few between.'''''" - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

Fixed the problem with Cait... it is the home system of the Caitian, a member race of the Federation... also sectors are 20 light years wide, tall and deep... their are no sectors above or below them... space is flat like a plate... see '''Star Trek Star Charts, The Complete Atlas of Star Trek''' thats why I used co-ordinates other wise how do you know where they are in relation to each other??? with out Co-ordinates one player might think The Dahri were on the border of the Tholian when they are actually closer to the Alpha Beta border and south of Cait Sector which is on the border with the Tholians... as for the number of systems within a sector... I already reduced it from the norm which acording to the book above is normally 32 to 40 systems per sector... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 11:32, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
If information is added, it must already be simmed - though be certain not to sim just because you want to add information to a page. References can include links to the FNS, a ship's google group, and to memory alpha/beta.


Question... if we do not use co-ordinates how can you plot the time it takes to travel between locations when you have no idea where it is in relations to where you are??? [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 11:36, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

:Ignore the book. Space is THREE DIMENSIONS. Space is NOT flat as a plate. If it were, when you look up at the night sky, you'd see a ring of stars and otherwise a lot of black. I removed the Co-ords as there was no vertical axis. We do use co-ords, just the system you've been using has NO meaning when you're trying to place something in space. How best to explain it... take a map of the world. The whole planet is on one page, flat? But we know the world is round. The atlas has to account for it so has to stretch bits and flatten the planet to make it fit on a page. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

== Additions to ILI pages ==


::As for location of sectors, why not just describe it? It'd be a hell of a lot easier for people unfamiliar with that co-ord system. By the way, I just checked, a 20ly diameter sphere around Earth would contain just 7 star systems. In the sparce ithassa, we're probably looking at 2 or 3 systems in a sector in most cases I'd've thought. See [[wp:Image:Nearby Stars (14ly Radius).svg]] for a good image of how stars do not lie within a single plain, and thus how space is 3D. the line 0h-12h is the y axis, the line 6h - 18h is the x axis, a vertical line passing through Sol would be the z axis. All three are needed to specify the whereabouts of a star. You said yourself above, a sector is "''20 light years wide, tall and deep''", that's 3 dimensions. Your co-ord system gives us where it is in terms of the width and tallness, but there's no figure given in your co-ords saying how deep. A sector or a star could be at any point on that line, your co-ord system simply does not tell us. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-PhoenixC.jpg|30px|USS Tiger]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 12:15, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
Hey, Daryl. The point of the ILI pages is not to 100% complete them before use, but to allow players to develop the species as they go through their own sims. Sometimes having a "bible for a species" is useful, but it is also restricting in ways that is not ideal for story-telling across ten ships. If a page is totally completed, players will feel that they must abide by what is on that page, with little room for development or creativity for their own. I imagine this is why many new players choose to stick with human characters, who can be from anywhere, of any culture, and of any look, rather than being restricted to the strangely singular cultured species we currently have on the wiki.  


Ok... I will describe locations... I need that becouse when I did the rewrite I figured out on a grid page where each sector would go... it affected how I wrote up each race in the FTU... also I understand about wanting the region to be sparse... but it would not suddenly go sparse... 2 years to cross is a one hell of a lot of sectors... deeper into the region the number of systems per sector will keep dropping but right here on the edge of Federation space they would be only slightly lower I was thinking... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 21:55, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
As such, I would rather that all species, not just the [[Ohanze]], only have their development simmed, rather than dictated by one person on the wiki. This gives players the ability to expand upon this species as they wish. When it comes to information regarding homeworlds, leaving those areas blank gives science officers or away teams the freedom to exercise creativity and come up with this information themselves. This is why we use the references system, so that players can go to those sims that refers to specific pieces of information and see how other writers approached using the species as well as what was done during missions. It's a guide and an active history, showing what was simmed for this species before.  


:Sorry if I sounded really annoyed above, not the best of days. To quote myself however; "By the way, I just checked, a 20ly diameter sphere around Earth would contain just 7 star systems." When you're looking at the map, each grid square is not just one sector, but the sectors vertically above and below it as well. Thus due to the limitations of the paper being 2D, while you may seem to see 30-odd systems in a sector, you're actually seeing, perhaps 6 systems in each of 5 sectors, one on top of the other? - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-PhoenixC.jpg|30px|USS Tiger]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 22:28, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
Unless we are creating a brand new species for a mission that requires background information pertaining to that mission (like we did with the [[Ohanze]] and the [[Adovan]]s, as examples), I've been advised that we should not information to ILI pages that has not been simmed by players, as the ILI should be used to document what has already been simmed, rather than dictate what ''should'' be simmed - I’ve checked with [[User:Rich|Rich]] about this and he reiterated the message from the fleet admins that the wiki should primarily be documenting what’s been simmed, rather than trying to "complete" entries for completion sake - which I believe came alongside the development of the references template. I understand the use for uniformity in information, and that a complete ILI page looks better ''complete'', but in those cases, we can use the [[Template:Expansion needed|Expansion needed template]] to inform players that they can and should add new information that they have simmed to an ILI page. I understand how ILI pages were updated or expanded upon by the SDC, but as that team no longer exists, it is now up to the community as a whole to add new information to ILI pages, rather than a few, or the one, person.


If that is the case we need some way to tell the differance between those the 2 below and the 2 above... I would need to divide the 30 odd systems listed in Trinity between those 5 sectors... if you think of a way let me know and I will try and think of a system to do it as well...  [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 06:27, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
In regards to the Ohanze specifically, the Veritas will still be using this species for missions in the Shoals. As such, we'd like the ability for our 12+ players to also expand upon them, rather than have to stick with what has been added to the wiki, yet not actually simmed.


I'm not sure how would be the best way to do so. As it's all there already for Trinity, you could keep it as is I guess. The nearby nebula might explain why it's quite densely packed if a rationale is wanted? *shrug* However Ithassa is meant to be sparce, so I would be inclined to go for the far lower figure in our case. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

==Sectors==
if space is going to be treated as 5 sectors deep then how about useing the following as co-ordinates... A02-0005-1324... Quadrant, sector number from top to bottom, sector number from Alpha- Beta border... then distance from the galactic core... all in sectors... as for the Trinity Sector... how about if I divid it into 5 sectors named Trinity Sector 1, Trinity Sector 2, etc since all 3 powers would be present and meet in all 5 sector's... or we could call them Trinity Sector, Sector 118 and Serellan Sector for 3 of them... then for system location in a sector it's co-ordinates could be as follows 13-06-14, (left to right, top to bottom and then depth)... next their are 31 systems listed which could be divided as follows among the sectors starting from top to bottom... 1) has 4 star systems, 2) has 6 star systems 3) has 9 star systems 4) has 7 star systems and 5) has 5 star systems...

:The powers may not necessarily be present in all the sectors. That's like saying, "oh, this bit of Europe is French, so all of Europe must thus be French". It's complicated.

Just read your rewrite for the Thassa Region main page... according to that you have space as only 30 Ly deep from top to bottom... each sector is 20 ly and you told me space was 5 sectors deep so shouldn't that read as 100 LY???  also I have been thinking... if we said space was 3 sectors deep (60 LY) instead of 5 sectors (100 LY) I could easily change over both the Trinity to that formate as well as the stuff I have done so far for the FTU... ie divideing the systems listed up between 3 instead on just the 1 sector... also that reduces the number of sector names I have to dream up... let me know what you think...[[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 22:24, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

== Sector templates ==
 
Firstly; if you're placing the Jenatris Cloud, check it with [[User:Varaan|Cmdr Varaan]]. It was part of the campaign region for [[USS Atlantis|his ship]], he should get some say.
 
Secondly, [[Serellan Sector]] is set up as a redirect to [[Trinity Sector]] as it's another alternate name; old ship plaques (e.g. [[Ronin Dedication Plaque|Ronin's]], [[:Image:Phoenix plaque.gif|Phoenix-C's]]) place Starbase 118 in the Serellan Sector, you've placed it in the Trinity Sector, so they must be the same thing unless the starbase was moved somehow.
 
As for the template coding, I'm assuming you're meaning the "edit this nav" button at the bottom? Simple answer; you haven't changed that bit of coding to reflect the different template name. Remove:<br>
<nowiki>|<center><sup>[[Template:Trinity|Edit this nav]]</sup></center></nowiki>
<br>...and replace it with...<br>

I figured that Serellan was an alternate name... I have a solution to that which is that Starbase 118 is on the border between the Trinity and the Serellan sector... that would put it technically in both... now I just need to get rid of the redirect so I can start moveing some of the systems over... also I was ordered to put the Jenatris Cloud under the Trinity Sector a while ago... I just never did any thing about it till now... I figured if I'm going to redo it might as well redo it right... so how do I get rid of the redirect???

Any problem with me doing the rewrite for the FTU... now that I've filled in the information about the member races I think some history and membership privlages and responsabilites might give them more use and playability... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 09:52, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

Not sure... I've been looking to see how much info I could find... not much other than what I know from my days with the USS Triumphant... a fellow crew member did the work on the asteroid base for them... over half the races were created by me during those days... and we all added a little info... one of the member races was added by a fellow crew member... and hints at the political system... background and motivations of the group were hinted at... but before we could do more our Captain retired and the Triumphant was decommisioned... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 10:37, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
:Wallace did a fair bit on them; the Tigers captain has a twin sister IC who used to be in the FTU. I think indy were even more involved with them than we were, they were the ones who simmed the Furies Furnace events. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-PhoenixC.jpg|30px|USS Tiger]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 10:42, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
 
Also the fact that it's the closest alien organization to Federation space and Deep space 17... covers a fairly wide area of about 15 to 20 sectors... with only about 1/4 of the races in that area being members... they have 2 unnamed bigger powers on both sides of them... one reason they formed in the first place... I named them... but still have not done a lot of work on them... organized radically differently than the Federation... altho with many of the same motivations... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 10:45, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
 
:Well I'd suggest rewriting on a sub page, say [[User:Canreb/Free Trade Union]] then running it past the relevent Captains and/or crew before a move to make sure it doesn't contradict what's been simmed elsewhere since?

==Trinity/ Serellan Sector==
 
You've done some really excellent work on the pages for the Trinity Sector, Serellian Sector and Janaris Cloud Sector. These look really great and are very inspiring resources which I hope to use as the basis of sims and as a way of working more closely with the USS Eagle and others.
 
I'm just wondering where you got the inspiration from for all the info?
 
Also, I wondered if we might perhaps come up for a name for the Region of space that these three sectors make up? I was thinking the "Trinity-Serellan Region" -what do you think?
 
== Trinity/ Serellan Sector ==
 
You've done some really excellent and solid work on the pages for the trinity sector, serellan sector and Jenatris Cloud Sector. All very inspiring stuff.
Just wondered where the inspiration came from? Also, I was wondering if we might come up with a name of the region of space that these three sectors combine to make up? I think that would be quite useful. I was thinking maybe the "Trinity-Serellan Region"? What do you think? Let me know as I'd quite like to get my crew to start including some of this info in their sims.
 
"[[User:Rocar|Fleet Captain Rocar Drawoh]] | [[User talk:Rocar|Talk]]"
 
===Collective Name===
 
So what about a collective name for the three sectors? I think I'll run with "Trinity-Serellan Region" unless you have a better suggestion
 
"[[User:Rocar|Fleet Captain Rocar Drawoh]] | [[User talk:Rocar|Talk]]"
 
===Co-ordination===
 
Certainly will. I'll be in contact with Captain Taboo and Cmdr. Assanti about this to see how we can co-ordinate our work within the sector. I'll suggest we discuss this with you too once we know how we want to approach this ourselves. We'll certainly update anything we do as we go. Take for example the [[Valdis I]] page

==Bull's Run==
How familiar are you with the details behind why this area was created? [[User:DCody|DCody]] 00:25, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
 
Just with what is listed... and the brief description of where it is... while with the USS Triumphant I never had the chance to encounter it... just trying to make sense of the stellar cartography section... put the various entries in some kind of order so that they make sense... partly because the Ithassa Region is in both the Alpha and Beta Quadrants... before none of the listings gave you any idea if they were alpha or beta... how close to the Klingons or the Tholians... how far to the FTU or the Confederacy... where they are in relations to each other... I read every listing and then tried to figure out where based on the description it would be on a star chart... easiest method was with '''SECTORS'''... also when you consider that the Ithassa Region covers more than 900 Sectors based on the description... I knew I could not put all 900 on 1 page... so break down the total area into smaller sections as I was told to do with Trinity... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 08:08, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
 
:Different things work for different areas. Just because it will work with Trinity Sector doesn't mean it will with the Ithassa Region. Ithassa is huge, a page on each sector could easily bury the important pages, making it harder to find information. I'm also taking this opportunity to point out the Klingons are at best a fringe power in Ithassa. The main powers are the Gorn and Tholians, with the Tzenkethi and FTU also present. Co-ords removed per dialogue with CO's. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-PhoenixC.jpg|30px|USS Tiger]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 11:32, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
 
If you look I have the Klingons and the Tholians on the fringe... they with the Federation form the exterior border of the Ithassa Region... they are all technically on the outside of the Ithassa Region... I found 4 spots with mention of Klingon activity inside the Ithassa Region... 2 of which are the lost Klingon colony and the mention of a Klingon warship becomeing stranded temporarily in the Bull's Run area... I do not mention any other borders except that with the Gorn as they have not yet been explored... but since it looks like this project is unwanted... by all means delete it... I just found it all so confuseing... with no idea where inside the Ithassa Region any of the mentioned systems, planets or sectors were... I was only trying to organize it into some useful order that would clear up the confuseion... I made all pages UNDER CONSTRUCTION in case I did end up putting something in the wrong location... unless otherwise informed I will STOP AND DESIST work on the Ithassa Region completely... I was going to just finish moveing those systems mentioned into the larger areas I had created... then fill in the star and planet info for systems already listed... but I will leave them alone... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 12:00, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
 
:Yes, but it's the Klingon Empire. That's not nearby. [[Ithassa Map]] shows where several of the places are relative to each other, and that map was originally created by Adm Hollis if I'm not mistaken. We go by that map rather than any other. You're more than welcome to contribute, by all means, but some of what you are adding conflicts with what is simmed, and what still is being simmed. Your enthusiasm is brilliant, but a greater familiarity would help; and the most familiar with the region are probably the CO's. For Trinity, I assume you're talking with Rocar, Taboo and prob Assanti, esp. given the messages above. I would heavily recommend discussing plans for the Ithassa wiki sections be run past at least Anassasi, Mar & Riley, if not Kare'en, Rhys and/or Hollis too. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

As per a conversation with first Captain Taboo of the USS Eagle and then Captain T'Pen of the USS Challenger, my primary character has requested a transfer to the USS Challenger, however I wanted to continue to be of some use on the USS Eagle so after much discussion with Captain Taboo we considered all the NPC's that I had been simming for and he suggested that I promote Devitt to be my new secondary... this will become official once the transfer has taken place.

==Ithassa Region, Races & Other Items==
I do not want to see any more deletion pages of original Ithassa Region races created by other members of the UFOP that have been redesigned as your sole creation, such as the Ramdii. Since I happen to know the simmer who named the Ramdii and on which yahoogroups list that name first appeared, I find this in poor taste.
 
Since I am aware what RAdm. Hollis and RAdm Anassasi said to you, I ask you from this point forward to not alter or claim ownership of any more pages that were originally designed to the Ithassa Region by your fellow UFOP members. Since you were told to rename several pages over a year ago, I am rolling back some pages to their original status. Any subsequent pages will not be touched, but we will check to make sure you follow through on what you were instructed to do by the COs of the Ithassa Region. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 03:23, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
 
In regards to that I have no idea what you are talking about. I have not touched anything within the Ithassa Region since haveing that conversation. What I have done is to take all the stuff I wrote for that region and reused it after renaming the races something else and placeing it within a region of my own design.
 
As I said then I will never create or write anything includeing posts as requested for that region ever. All the data that was deleted was done by someone else (Lt. Salak). He were good enough to send me copies of everything I had wrote before resetting everything back the way it was before I started adding things.
 
In fact if you look above you will see where you spoke to me about this under '''Vonda & Subsequent Pages''' and '''Deleting Pages'''. Also the whole conversation regarding getting back what I had written and my willingness to change the names of the races and rewrite then as my own creations.
 
As for the Ramdii. Anything that is currently there should have been returned to it's original format before I touched it originally. I have not even looked at any of the pages for that region as they are off limits to me as ordered. Lt. Salak was nice enough to do all the work of deleteing all the work I had added, even all the original data that I had created that had no referances to anyone else's work in the region.
 
I even asked him to delete the work I had done while a crewmember of the USS Triumphant which had operated in that region. So all the mission data and new discoveries we made as part of that crew should also have been deleted if I wrote them. Again in keeping with your orders to delete any and all works that I had a hand in within the Ithassa Region.
 
If for some reason this has not been done I apologize. Since I was still very new to the wiki at that time I left all the deletions to Lt. Salak. I had no idea and still am not sure exactly how a page can be returned to an older version altho Lt. Salak did explain it to me once and I might be able to figure it out on my own now.
 
However I promised to never touch, write, create or in any way do anything regarding the Ithassa Region and I have kept that promise. I have never returned to or even viewed any of the pages linked to that area since being ordered to stop. [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 00:19, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
 
: The problem is it was not done, and I'm at a complete loss to why this was not taking care of over a year ago. The "original" pages were marked slated for deletion, not your pages. Which is why I decided to wait before deleting any more of this in case it had not been finished. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 14:20, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
 
:: Sir, I had all my original material moved and renamed well over a year ago. Even the stuff that was deleted that I had written has been moved and renamed. In many cases even rewritten so as to make it all completely original and totally my work.
 
:: At the time that all this was being done I was still extremely new to the wiki. Lt. Salak did a lot of the retrevial and deletions as far as I know. He was the only person other than yourself that I talked to about it.
 
:: Due to my limited knowledge at that time of how to use the wiki I did not touch anything once I was told to stop and desist. In fact I am pretty sure that I have never gone back and viewed any of the Ithassa Region stuff since then. I thought it was all being taken care of. I appologize for it not being taken care of. I guess I should have double checked. 
 
:: In fact that is about the time I got very busy creating the Trinity, Serellan and Jenatris sectors of space. A project that I got approval to work on first before I started since I learned my lesson to ask before I leap.
 
:: I appologise for any trouble that this may have caused you or anyone else within the Starbase 118 community. It has never been my intent to cause anyone any problems. This has been and continues to be the best run Star Trek RPG that I have even had the privledge to participate in.
 
:: I hope that I will be able to contribute to this group for many more years. [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 21:30, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
 
::: Nonsense. It wasn't trouble as much it was a misunderstanding. What bothered several people were changes were being made that had not been simmed, and just created on the spot. Your contributions, whether on the Triumphant or elsewhere, are valued. :) However, with these Wiki pages, members are constantly adding stuff to existing pages, in part based on what the crew, whether past, present, or future, '''''sims'''''. This is why no Wiki page is ever truly complete. LOL What I hope I can encourage you to think on is just enough, but not completely flushed out... this especially becomes important if you pursue command. If we design too much detail, it curtails creativity.
 
::: For example, let's take the Ramdii. ;) For years, even before I came back, simmers on all of the Ithassa crews used the ram-horned species that was a part of the FTU. They did not have a name. They are simply a NPC race for anyone to use. Then take one Lieutenant who comes along and says, you know, this race needs a name. Let's call them Ramdii, and put that on the main page of the Ithassa Region (where a bunch of these FTU races had been placed). That's all, just name them. Don't spell out the culture, or planets, or anything else. Someone else can step in and have fun with those elements.
 
::: In this way, the Ramdii remain a flexible NPC race for anyone to contribute and add to. There's just enough there for other simmers to figure out what's been done before and work with, but allow for the maximum flexibility in case they get creative and add some distinctive element I could have never thought of in a million years. That's simming, my friend. ;) It's the collaborative effort of everyone, whether Trinity or Ithassa, or otherwise.
 
::: As such, I love your creativity. But... everyone else has a say in the design as well. We should write something one of these days. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 00:18, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
 
Thank you. I look forward to possible working with you some day as well. I understand what you mean by everyone being able to contribute and being able to add to a race, planet, story, mission, etc. The planet Miri that I created as part of the Trinity, Serellan Sector project has been used twice by the USS Eagle and as a result I had to add a lot of stuff and then alter some of my original stuff as well as a result of sims we posted. It is still a long way away from being a complete entry. I am still hopeing that other crews will use it as it is also a tribute to the original Star Trek since it was the location of one of the original TV episodes. I have ton's of ideas for mission on that planet. Same as I have for the other one that the USS Eagle has visited twice in the Trinity Sector. Cart'hen III.

ILI and Changes

It is easier to simply edit the page, btw... :) We can rollback if/when needed. DCody 23:04, 8 September 2009 (EDT)

Corvian quadrant

Hi there. I just noticed the Corvian homeworld is listed as in the Beta Quadrant, but as Deep Space 10 orbits the planet and the system is established as being in the Menthar Corridor, it should actually be in the Alpha Quadrant. I'm not sure if that affects the sector numbering though. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 13:31, 10 January 2014 (CST)

Thanks for that info... It does make a difference but it is easy to change and will be changed... not sure why my source for the info gave me that data but as long as it gets corrected that all that matters. Canreb (talk) 08:53, 13 January 2014 (CST)

New ILI sections

Thank you very much for the kind words!

I've created the separate galleries. I've incorporated the SDC nav links into a slimmer template that goes with the style of the new ILI. Eventually, each kind of species can have its own ILI template as seen with the forbidden species and the first few restricted species using Template:ILI Restricted, Template:ILI Forbidden, Template:ILI TBD. When they eventually all get properly changed to their specific type, then the original Template:ILI will be left for permitted species and will be modified to display a permitted species icon.–Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 15:59, 23 February 2014 (CST)

Non-canon badge

It's meant to go at the level of the page title. is it not showing up there for you? I've checked it on Firefox, Safari, and mobile Chrome. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 16:52, 28 February 2014 (CST)

Oh, Internet Explorer! (::makes a fist:: Newman!) All right, I'll come up with an alternative. :) –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 17:00, 28 February 2014 (CST)

Is it lower now? PS, when editing a restricted, forbidden, TBD, just add Restricted, Forbidden, or TBD after Template:ILI to get the special sidebar for that category. So "Template:ILI Restricted" gets you this: Vaadwaur
How about now?–Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 17:14, 28 February 2014 (CST)

Hmmm, the problem is if I go down any further it will look wrong on those other browsers I mentioned. Is it still covering up anything important like the search box or user controls? –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman

All right, great. Thanks for letting me know about this though! –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 17:23, 28 February 2014 (CST)

ILI image sizes

Oh and just for reference, the images I think look best would put at 250px so there's no black around them (that's just there for now because there are many set below 250). For instance, here's Andorian at 250

SORRY, I meant 250... I could make it so the template automatically displays it at 250, but then we'd have to go through and delete every image size setting across the ILI... so... yeah, probably not. :) –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 17:40, 28 February 2014 (CST)

SDC Alert



Class 1 Priority Alert

Starfleet Intelligence has designated this species a

Class 1 Priority




Added to the page Vorgon. Use {{SDC Alert}}

Done. I've also added a new parameter to the ILI, ILI Restricted, ILI Forbidden, and ILI TBD templates. If the word for a species plural is just adding an s (i.e., human -> humans), the template simply adds the s for the "List of Named Whatevers." If the plural form is different, for instance several Q are not referred to as Qs, just add "plural = whatever" as an additional parameter. Examples include the Q, Kubarey, Jem'Hadar, Gorn, etc. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 17:00, 1 March 2014 (CST)

Updated Template:SDC. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 00:09, 17 March 2014 (CDT)

Quarantine and Extinct templates

How are these?



Quarantine Alert

By order of Starfleet Medical

Avoid All Contact

Authorized Personnel Only






REV 239602.22
Extinct Species Notice

attention: This species is

believed extinct

Available data is limited

DEPARTMENT of XENOLOGY




Use {{quarantine}} and {{extinct}}.

Also, yes the plan is eventually to change the general ILI template to green/permitted, but that's once all the other non-categorized, etc. species have been properly changed over. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 13:02, 3 May 2014 (CDT)

Readding introductions for species

I'll think of something for the restricted to homeworld species. In the meantime, I noticed in a lot of the revamps that the introductory text for species is getting deleted. I think actually it's nice to have a few sentences to introduce the species before the main article (maybe even a quote or saying from said culture). I also don't think it's necessary to have the species name as a separate header, and it just clutters the table of contents. For instance, what do you think of the edits I made to Risian? –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 09:52, 4 May 2014 (CDT)

Character page, pictures and such

Hi! To change the size of a photo, just add however many pixels you want the width to be as in: [[File:Image.jpg|300px]] for instance. If you want a frame to be around the picture and for it to be displayed on the right as a thumbnail, just put in [[File:Image.jpg|thumb]]. If you want the thumbnail on the right [[File:Image.jpg|left]]. If you want the thumbnail bigger or smaller: [[File:Image.jpg|thumb|400px]].

More instructions on how to use images on a wiki are available here

You could put the three academy diplomas side by side by putting them in a basic table:

{|
|
{{Academy Diploma
|Name on Diploma=Tal Tel-ar
|Graduation Date=237707.31  
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Security/Tactical
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx
|Training CO=Leo Handley-Page
}}
|
{{Academy Diploma

|Graduation Date=238107.31   
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Communications/Operations 
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx

|Graduation Date= 238307.31  
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Intelligence
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx

}}
|}

Which gives you this:

However, as you can see, they're pretty big, so it might actually just make more sense to keep them stacked one on top of another or just display the first one. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 18:30, 8 May 2014 (CDT)

Quote template

just a heads up, you can use Template:Quote (made by someone else actually!) to make the quotes formated in the articles.

Example:

{{quote|To boldly go where no man has gone before!|James T. Kirk}}

gives you

"To boldly go where no man has gone before!"

ESP

Already done: T/E Rating System :)

As to the list of species, I think that'd be great! Just add it below on the page above! ◄ Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman ♫ 16:28, 27 June 2014 (CDT)

Hmm, I actually think it'd make more sense to make a separate ESP banner like the other templates (extinct, quarantine, etc.) that you could add to ESP equipped species since the vast majority would have none and that would be a lot of work updating them all just to say none. We could have the yes few many etc also be able to be specified in the separate banner. What do you think? ◄ Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman ♫ 22:52, 14 July 2014 (CDT)

Missed things and whatnot

No worries, sir! You will not believe how many times I've wanted to pull my hair out after being frustrated at why a template isn't working only to see that the whole problem was a missing | or }, haha! Also, thanks for the feedback on the factions and ship classes. You should chime in on the forum threads for both!

I'm hoping to get others involved! ♫ RichtalkChief of Wiki Operations 13:37, 26 January 2015 (CST)

Caraadian Request

Canreb, when I created the Caraadian species, the entire purpose was to have a species that did not originate in the Expanse, that had mysteriously left their homeworld tens of thousand of years ago and no longer knew where or what it was. This was important to the species, but even more important to the idea of the Expanse and how the individual cultures mixed, and why. While I was gone from the UFoP:SB118 for a couple of years, the Caraadians sat dormant and in the void, you saw fit to "update" the missing data. Unfortunately, that ruined the mystique that I had set up, and in some places contradicted ideas that I was trying to establish. I'm not mad, and I'm not blaming you. This is a wiki where anyone can edit things. But is there any chance I can rewrite at least some of this to bring it back to what I was trying to establish in the first place? Do I have to file an official form or something with the Species Development Committee? -Varaan (talk) 15:12, 10 April 2015 (CDT)

Thanks. I will try to keep you in the loop. And now that I'm back, it should be easier to contact me about any of the Par'tha stuff, should you need to. -Varaan (talk) 09:42, 11 April 2015 (CDT)
I think I'm done with the Caraadian entry, should you like to check it over. -Varaan (talk) 22:28, 12 April 2015 (CDT)

Budding Species

Hello, sir! Long time no speak! I've started playing a member of the budding species as a part of the Darwin's multispecies initiative and would like to go in a different direction than the animated gif of the mosquito-like creature that's on our current wiki page. (There's nothing in canon that says they're bugs, so I liked the idea of getting creative with what's already been specified on DS9!)

Would it be OK if I removed that picture for the time being? I'm working on getting a picture of my PNPC made, hopefully will be done within the next couple of weeks at the latest, so I could show that to you with a view to swapping it in when it's done? Chen (talk) 03:54, 13 April 2015 (CDT)

Hi - thanks for getting in touch about the picture for the budding species - the rationale for the appearance is included in the text on the same page you found the picture itself, which I'll also be submitting as part of the multispecies competition. Is this enough, or do you need anything else? Chen (talk) 07:21, 26 May 2015 (CDT)

Mellitus Species

Howdy, I found this orphaned page. Does it have anything to do with the ILI? Otherwise, I would like to find a place for it. http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Mellitus Ashley Roy (talk) 21:31, 14 April 2015 (CDT)

Adjusted slightly. The template automatically fits the width to the window so if you want the head to be smaller, you'll need to use a different image. ♫ Rich118Wiki AdministratorSend Message 14:53, 25 May 2015 (CDT)

About one of your pages - are you still using it?

The page for Angel Yukiko. It appears a bit blank, and I wanted to know if you still want it or need it for any reason before I start cleaning it up Ceciri (talk) 21:37, 5 June 2015 (CDT)

Yeah, since it's pretty blank, or I'd have tried to link it to the NPC page, or PC page :/ Ceciri (talk) 11:48, 6 June 2015 (CDT)

About the Avalon Sector page

I reverted the edit because I'm trying to make sure we have no redlinks. Once the page is up, feel free to relink it! Ceciri (talk) 11:10, 18 February 2016 (CST)

Ohanze

Hey there! I saw that you were working on the Ohanze and wanted to let you know a number of things have been simmed about them previously on Veritas that you may find useful. LtCmdr Sky Blake has updated the Ohanze page with the information from our mission involving them but most specifically, the Ohanze do not have a single home world system (at least not in modern times). Also the Ohanze are native to the shoals and specifically the shadows. You won’t generally find them beyond the confines of the shoals. Lastly we established that the Ohanze have no decipherable unique language intelligible/speakable humanoids. The universal translater instead simply gives direct translations of words and names into their literal meanings. Thus if the group known as the Tusurn originates within the language of the ohanze then it would just be known as the “Glorious Defiance” since there wouldn’t be a specific Ohanze word used. Based on the characterization of the species, I’d also suggest they’d likely not be the “largest terrorist” group as they mostly keep to themselves, although perhaps they are members of the Black Sun Tribe that are known as raiders who prey on both Ohanze and non Ohanze alike for survival. I don’t want to suggest more can’t be added to the Ohanze in sims and whatnot but wanted to make sure you knew about some of these established traits so we can keep the species consistent. The Ohanze page should have the relevant detail. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks! ♫ Rich (Capt. Roshanara Rahman)REPLYWiki Ops TeamVeterans Affairs 14:50, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanka! I’ll definitely take a look and make notes. I’m also going to get my first and second officers Delano and Blake in touch with you because they helped develop a lot of the backstory and Blake in particular can help with cross referencing things in the wiki and Shoals “canon” we’ve developed over the past few years. ♫ Rich (Capt. Roshanara Rahman)REPLYWiki Ops TeamVeterans Affairs 19:52, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
While we're on this topic, please hold off on adding stuff to the main Ohanze page. Since we have and likely will again be encountering the Ohanze in-sim, I want to make sure we don't run into any confusing lore-related issues and have really only been adding stuff that's been simmed (using the <ref> tool). I plan to go through the page you've draft with Rich and Cameron (since these two primarily spearheaded the species' inclusion in the first draft of the Shoals) and will add accordingly. :) Deliera Veritastalk 09:05, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

References - a how-to

Every page about species, general NPCs, or often-used locations should utilize a references template. This can be achieved by adding {{References}} at the end of the page.

To add a reference to a sentence, you can link using this format: <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/6L6LJxB_GZs/Tf840XOhAwAJ ''"Of Sons and Daughters."'' (Part 1)], A.Eislas & LtCmdr S.Blake, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239602.14</ref>

Which looks like this.[1]

If information is added, it must already be simmed - though be certain not to sim just because you want to add information to a page. References can include links to the FNS, a ship's google group, and to memory alpha/beta.

Hope that helps! Deliera Veritastalk 02:54, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Additions to ILI pages

Hey, Daryl. The point of the ILI pages is not to 100% complete them before use, but to allow players to develop the species as they go through their own sims. Sometimes having a "bible for a species" is useful, but it is also restricting in ways that is not ideal for story-telling across ten ships. If a page is totally completed, players will feel that they must abide by what is on that page, with little room for development or creativity for their own. I imagine this is why many new players choose to stick with human characters, who can be from anywhere, of any culture, and of any look, rather than being restricted to the strangely singular cultured species we currently have on the wiki.

As such, I would rather that all species, not just the Ohanze, only have their development simmed, rather than dictated by one person on the wiki. This gives players the ability to expand upon this species as they wish. When it comes to information regarding homeworlds, leaving those areas blank gives science officers or away teams the freedom to exercise creativity and come up with this information themselves. This is why we use the references system, so that players can go to those sims that refers to specific pieces of information and see how other writers approached using the species as well as what was done during missions. It's a guide and an active history, showing what was simmed for this species before.

Unless we are creating a brand new species for a mission that requires background information pertaining to that mission (like we did with the Ohanze and the Adovans, as examples), I've been advised that we should not information to ILI pages that has not been simmed by players, as the ILI should be used to document what has already been simmed, rather than dictate what should be simmed - I’ve checked with Rich about this and he reiterated the message from the fleet admins that the wiki should primarily be documenting what’s been simmed, rather than trying to "complete" entries for completion sake - which I believe came alongside the development of the references template. I understand the use for uniformity in information, and that a complete ILI page looks better complete, but in those cases, we can use the Expansion needed template to inform players that they can and should add new information that they have simmed to an ILI page. I understand how ILI pages were updated or expanded upon by the SDC, but as that team no longer exists, it is now up to the community as a whole to add new information to ILI pages, rather than a few, or the one, person.

In regards to the Ohanze specifically, the Veritas will still be using this species for missions in the Shoals. As such, we'd like the ability for our 12+ players to also expand upon them, rather than have to stick with what has been added to the wiki, yet not actually simmed.

Thank you for understanding. Deliera Veritastalk 05:15, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
