Octavia E Butler Simming Guide

Welcome Aboard

---

Welcome to the USS Octavia E Butler simming group, part of the larger UFOP: StarBase 118 fleet. The Ocatavia E Butler launched in February 2024 (Stardate 240102) when the crew of the USS Oumuamua (who had simmed on that ship since June 2022 (239906)) transfered to the new ship. A few of the crew had previously served on the USS Oumuamua, which was in active service from June 2022 (239906)
