This area is being constructed! There are a lot of sub-pages that will need to be created, so we're going to start with a very rough draft. Formatting and graphical elements also coming later. --Wolf /^{talk page} 00:43, 14 December 2015 (CST)

			Cadet Orientation

Congratulations on your acceptance to Starfleet Academy!

Before graduation from the Academy, you will need to prepare yourself. The resources available here will get you started.

Start here for directions
This tutorial will explain the various parts of our website.

Quick website tour

Introduce yourself to the community

We're a friendly and open community of members from across the globe. You are welcome here!

Register for our forums

If you have not already done so, register for our forums — they’re a very important part of our community, and a hub for communication outside of the ship or base you will be assigned to.

Once you’ve submitted your registration, you’ll receive an automated email asking you to verify your email address. Then, one of our staff will approve your account within a few hours. But even before your account is approved, you'll be able to view cadet-friendly areas of the forums and say hello to others.

Introduce yourself

Tell us about yourself! We look forward to learning more about you, and welcoming you to our community. To begin, simply click here, read the first post, and click the black “reply to this topic” button to reply with your own introduction.

Ask a question

Our staff and other members are both quick, and happy, to assist with questions about how our site works and what's next in your journey toward Ensign. The Admissions forum is where you can start new threads and ask any questions you have.

Prepare your character

Once the actual training program starts, we’ll teach you how to sim with us. But for right now, let’s just dive in and start role-playing to introduce your character and flex your writing muscles. Follow this link to our “Arrival at StarBase 118” thread, and read the instructions. Then, click the black “reply to this topic” button and post your response. Don’t worry about the format — just write however it’s comfortable for you. Be creative!
