This week’s Trek Tuesday poll is one of our most exciting yet. Sulu was a clear winner from our old Trek pilots, but Ortegas won by unanimous consent last week. Who should take the helm? |
The Democratic States of United Region Alliance The URA will be joining our friends in KHAN this year. I invite your region as a member of URA to join with your nations as well. This is not mandatory but would love to have you help us on N-day if you would. You can join the KHAN faction here: page=faction/fid=30 If interested in joining the discord use can also join that here: https://discord.gg/ueup7BPT If you have any questions feel free to telegram Ellenburg or DM them on discord. |
Thanks to everyone who participated in last week’s instrumental poll deciding on our Enterprise’s Chief Flight Control Officer. I hope everyone, even Sulu’s supporter’s, can be satisfied that we have and excellent pilot at the helm with Ortegas. I had a hard time choosing between the two myself. We have another interesting choice for this week's Trek Tuesday. In the 23rd century Navigations Officers were frequently used to chart the course and enact other duties. Let's select one to assist our pilot. |
Its been a great six years friends, and we'd like to thank you for being a good embassy mate, and hopefully you continue on. In a few days, The Forgotten Lands will be closing its doors after nine years. The idea of our bastion becoming a puppet storage holds no appeal, and it is with that, we are saying good bye to NS and to all our friends new and old. Cheers and thanks for all the fish. |
Help us select our Chief Operations Officer in this Trek Tuesday poll. |
Help us decide which Security Chief should move on in our, post apocalypse return to the Trek Tuesday poll. |

Likewise! And things have been slow. My ideas on the map are simplifying to where we each have our own bubble or whatever, evenly sized from the outside but any size we want on the inside. What I'll really need to know is how they would best be connected together. |
My questions for each nation here: |
Our poll last week ended in another dead heat. Our search for the best nurse continues to select a new Trek nurse to contend this Trek Tuesday. |
