-The Victory prides itself on its serious and realistic themes, its freeform nature and its interesting character driven plots. Unlike most vessels, we believe that Star Trek and all good drama in general is about the characters, first and foremost. While we do have missions, plots and external forces at play here, our primary focus is on our characters and displaying strong character development.

-We also tend to be '''slightly''' more "European" in what constitutes a PG-13 rating. Generally speaking, this means that we tend to prefer a euphemism ("Frak!") over a censored word ("$@#%!"), we have a number of shipboard romances (and as of 2388, a [[T'tala|pregnancy]]!) and these are tastefully explored via Joint Posts. We also take a relaxed, 24th century view on the personal choices and freedoms of the crew aboard.

 Accordingly, this means that we tend to avoid scenes with strong violence or gratuitous bloodshed if at all possible- especially acts committed by Starfleet personnel in good standing. While an occasional sim may contain violence, it is unbecoming for officers in good standing to engage in violence unnecessarily, gratuitously or with relish. The Victory fires her phasers only when she has to.
+Ultimately, it is the simmer's responsibility to ensure that their sims are tasteful. Repeated violations of the PG-13 guidelines may result in a warning or disciplinary action, and looks bad for promotions.
 There are no active Starfleet Marine Corps characters permitted aboard the USS Victory, although former members are permitted.
