Welcome to the home of the Species Development Committee, also known as the SDC.

What does the SDC do?


We are responsible for the creation of new species and their wiki pages as well as updating all of the old species wiki pages.

SDC Mandate


The SDC is dedicated to the over all improvement and development of every species entry on our own SB118 wiki. This is for a few reasons.

  • First so as to provide our players with the best resource available when picking a species to play or use in a sim.
  • Next so that all new species created by this community can be preserved for future use.
  • So that new ideas and concepts created during a simming adventure are saved and preserved for future use on the correct species wiki page.

In this way we hope that with time our species will grow and develop into complex and fully realized races with histories, customs, backgrounds in such a way as to make them individuals like the more recognized and established races we all know and love such as Klingons, Cardassians, Vulcans, Romulans, Andorians and Bajorans just to name a few.

Updating old species wiki pages


Currently the SDC is busy rewriting most of the species entries on the Intelligent Lifeform Index.

In order to update the old pages we transfer all of the info over onto a universal template that we use for each and every species. This makes it easier for people to find specific information regarding multiple different species faster and easier. We then do a rewrite to better fit the info into each section, doing a search for any new info that may need to be added.

Once the page has been completed it is then submitted to the team (SDC) for review. This review is a process where every active member of the SDC takes a look at the page looking for spelling mistakes, grammar errors and logic mistakes. Then they can make any comments or suggestions they feel need to be brought to the attention of the rest of the team. (SDC)

If the wiki page does not require any tweaking, modification or rewrites the members then vote, having their vote recorded. At this time if the vote is a yes the "Under Construction" banner is removed and the date that the page was passed, basically considered finished and available for use by all members of the Starbase 118 universe is recorded.
