The Featured Bio Contest is an opportunity to recognize our existing members as well as to inspire prospective members to examine our group and join in on the fun. Furthermore, the contest endeavors to encourage current members to explore the SB118 Wiki and learn more about their fellow members and the adventures others have been having across the fleet.

Overview

Each month, the Featured Bio Contest Team reviews nominated character biographical wiki articles and uses the judging criteria to judge nominees. At the end of the month, one winning article will be selected from the nominees to become the Featured Bio of StarBase 118 on both the SB118 Wiki main page and through the Newsies, Reporter, and Publicity Teams. Featured Bio winners are granted use of special badges that they can then add to their bios. Additionally, a runner up will be chosen as the Star Pick for the month and receive and honourable mention on the forum and news.

Featured Articles and Badges

The Featured Bio Contest recognizes two types of featured articles.

Featured Bio Contest Team Member (Sapphire) A biographical article for a character whose writer is a member of the Featured Bio Contest Team and has participated in three rounds of the competition. Featured Bio of StarBase 118 (Gold) A nominee that has been selected by the Featured Bio Contest Team to become the Featured Bio of SB118 for one month.

Featured Articles may display special badges designating their status. There are two sets available: the wide edition (seen above and suitable for display as a header or footer for a character's sidebar) and the standard award size edition (seen below and suitable for display in an awards rack alongside other awards and service ribbons).

Display of the badges is at the discretion of the individual author, although examples of badge placement are available in the Featured Bio Contest Tutorials.

List of Featured Articles

Chythar Skyfire February 2014 Lieutenant JG Chythar Skyfire is a medical officer aboard the USS Excalibur-A. He is passionate about science and languages. Although he serves as a Starfleet officer, he has mixed feelings towards the organisation as he feels it robbed him of time with his mother, who died while on assignment with them. Since joining the fleet in 2390, he has also served aboard StarBase 118 Ops. In his spare time, he can often be found making chainmail or reading in his quarters, although he also enjoys conversations with his crew mates. His best friend, Sal Taybrim, serves aboard the USS Darwin-A. His middle name, Daniel, has earned him the nickname "CD".

Saveron January 2014 Doctor Saveron is the Chief Medical officer on the USS Garuda. He began his career aboard the USS Ronin under the command of Captain Toni Turner back in 2388. Between then and now, he has seen ships launch, introduced his son to the Laudean people, confronted the Borg and acted as chief medic and advisor to a selection of captains throughout the fleet. When not in sickbay, he practices Vulcan martial arts, reads and plays music. He is strongly averse to the use of phasers. He is known for keeping a white pet tribble and has a holographic piano! The best advice for anyone visiting his quarters, though, is to wear an EV suit – he likes to keep them at Vulcan humidity, temperature and gravity, so it may not be a comfortable visit otherwise!
