This is an interest check for an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for some time. The concept is pretty simple; to have a ship based in the universe of the new Battlestar Galactica, have various people play different members of the crew and explore the setting!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Ship
screen0087_zpsa179194a.jpg

The ship that this role play shall be based on will be the Valhalla, a Valkyrie type battlestar. The Valhalla was built during the First Cylon War and is still in service when hostilities break out, much like many of her sister ships for Valkyrie type battlestars form the bulk of the fleet.

The Crew
The crew of the Valhalla is at less than optimum strength. Since the old ship is en route to a salvage dock at the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards only around a third of the crew is on board. Many of the less vital crew as well as all of the Vipers that were functioning at 100% have been transferred, leaving a skeleton crew with only a handful of malfunctioning Mark VI Vipers (17), a dozen Raptors and a very small marine contingent (26).
Crew Positions Bolded positions are ones that we are really in need of.

The Story
The Valhalla is on her last voyage, traveling from her station above Aquaria to the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards for final decommissioning. An old warhorse, Valhalla still has many of her original systems since it was deemed unnecessary by the admiralty to have her updated, considering her main duties were interdiction of smugglers and the like. The admiralty's disdain for the old ship proved to be her saving grace. While the ship traversed the solar system the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies began. Now with a skeleton crew, outdated systems and next to no Vipers the Valhalla must fight or flee, but above all the ship and it's crew must survive if humanity is to.


Plot Points
  • The Valhalla's tylium reserves are low, having barely enough to make it to the shipyards.
  • Munitions aboard the ship are practically nonexistent. There are no nukes aboard at all.
  • Food and water stores are adequate for the skeleton crew for about a month.
  • Most of the crew are the screw ups who have yet to be transferred and people towards the end of their career.
  • Cylon agents are aboard the ship, but nobody is aware of this. When will the crew discover their presence?



  • This thread will be updated with more details as I am able to do so.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Yes we do! I will likely be playing either the commander of the marines or the tactical officer I think. I am going to get a thread set up for character profiles and make some adoptable characters.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

There is a character sheet thread up, if you'd like to get working on your character :)
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Just wanted to notify that I would also be really eager to play BSG roleplay. While I could say I'm an experienced roleplayer, I have to confess that I've never played a group RP before, hopefully that isn't a deal breaker for you guys.

Anyways, I'll post my character profile soon™ to wait your approval.

Don't worry, group RP is pretty easy to navigate.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Glad to have another person on board! I think we will try and get things going sometimes in the next few days.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Hey there. I love BSG, both of them. I'd love to be a part of this. If nobody has taken the CAG position yet, then I'd love to.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Hello Kaira! Nobody has claimed the CAG position yet, so feel free to work up a character for it!
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Is the Commander position still open? If not I would love to be a pilot if that's alright.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

The commander position is still open for sure :D
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Fantastic:D I shall take it up. Can't wait to RP with you all.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Splendid! I look forward to seeing what you work up for your character :)
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

I am so glad Nyra posted a link to this in one of the other request threads. I love this universe. I will work up an ECO character that can double as a pilot for raptors or vipers.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

We would love to have you!

Please keep in mind that ECOs are mainly trained as second seaters, much like in an F-14 or F-4. But an interesting addition to the.plot could be having the ECOs attained to pilot Vipers, in case there is a shortage of pilots.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Ya I am thinking that He would have been a pilot but after pissing off a Superior officer and was transferred to the Valhalla and assigned to an ECO. In the end it will just give him the ability to fit into any of the three positions.
 
RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

That would work well as a background. I look forward to seeing your character!
 
Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

Just trying to drum up interest for this, a Battlestar Galactica group RP, I hope somebody is interested. All are welcome but a few more woman especially to equal things out.

RE: Battlestar Galactica: Valhalla

We are still looking for some high ranking positions, but are more than happy to take any characters!
