View source for Vigilant Crew Graphics: Banners

{{Vigilant}}
Forum Banners have been designed for the crew of the USS Vigilant which are in keeping with the general style created for many of the fleet's ships yet individual like the ship and its crew members. [[Reinard, Greir|Greir Reinard]] is the primary contact for having a forum banner created or updated, and can be [mailto:aimsley06@gmail.com Contacted] by email.


==How to get a banner==

The character the banner is to be made for must first have a "face" to represent them and it must be fitted with an appropriate StarFleet uniform before a banner can be made. [[The (Image) Collective]] or [[Reinard, Greir|Greir Reinard]] are able help with this if needed. If there is an image for the character but it's not available on the wiki it will need to be sent as an attachment when requesting the banner.

Including a quote is optional and it can be updated at a later date as necessary. If a quote is to be included send it over when you make your request or the banner will be made without one. If you do not want one this should be indicated at the time the request is made.

Once the face and quote have been decided send a request to [[Reinard, Greir|Greir Reinard]] for a banner.

===Dual-ship banners===

Players who have a second player character (2PC) on another ship may request a special, dual-ship forum banner. These banners have the name, rank, face and ship/assignment of both characters. There may or may not be room for quotes. They are custom made and unique, this makes them more time consuming to make and get right so patience if require when requesting one of these.

To request one follow the same procedure as above but submit the request for a dual-ship banner with the details for both characters. If one or both characters are to have quotes include them with the request but understand it may not be possible to include either/both.

Here are two examples of dual-ship banners:
