Xmas Mission on 3rd Rock

This Sunday, December 17 at 10am Pacific time is a huge milestone for a very special group, and you're invited to the adventure, and the party!

Starfleet Infinity celebrates one year on 3rd Rock Grid. It's a scifi roleplay group that is based on the format, structure, and values of the TV show and film franchise Star Trek. 

But wait a minute, first anniversary? Hasn't there been a Star Trek inspired roleplay place on 3rd Rock for years? Astraios... Lyonesse Colony... all that? 

Yes. For a long time, this group was an opensim colony of SL's United Federation Starfleet. Last year, the decision was made to break away, and form something new, dynamic, and vaster than before, right here on 3rd Rock, taking advantage of the talent and energy of the locals - in particular Alia Soulstar, builder, art curator, not to mention Captain of the USS Feynman, who has stepped up to create a fabulous website as well as inworld goodies. 

The move was a good one, they doubled their numbers overnight, and the past year has been an ongoing success story. Safari celebrated 'First Contact Day' with many of the crew and creative contributors of Starfleet Infinity last April and it was a delight to see how committed and organized and fun-loving they are.

Alia Soulstar: we would be up to the 13th now if we were still in UFS, but actually we're having our first birthday as Starfleet Infinity this week

The 3rd Rock build includes Lyonesse Colony, a beautiful sea-level complex with a freebie shop, dance area, meeting rooms, and artwork telling the story of the group through their many events over more than a decade of playing and exploring together.

But once you teleport up into space, you'll discover a fantastic fleet, including the Galileo, a Helenic class starbase of immense proportions. Roleplay adventures take place throughout the week, on the Prometheus class USS Shogun, on the USS Feynman and USS Tyson, both  Galaxy Class spaceships,  and on the newest ship the Intrepid class USS Einstein.  That offers you lots of different opportunities to participate, if joining Starfleet s your thing! But if first you want to study the culture and environment, then this weekend's event could be a perfect first step.

Something sciency is happening at the console!

Dress Trek-friendly if you can (the group will help you out with that, and in an emergency, you can always go with the legacy Trek Uniform that's on the HG Safari clubhouse sim) and be part of the fun, or simply join in when the party gets started at 12 noon Pacific time. This warm and welcoming group have some of the best scripted toys in opensim, fantastic mesh and magnificent story ideas, so there is truly something for everyone. Learn more about the story lines, and how you can join the group, by visiting the Starfleet Infinity website.

Alia Soulstar: This Sunday we start at 10.30am with a "Christmas" mission... this will be a silly one in an alt universe where we are the bad guys (Grinchons) trying to spoil Christmas for the galaxy. We are inviting everyone to join in, civilians too. And it bleeds into a party at midday, everyone is invited naturally!
