Sim Content Rating


The USS Arawyn is rated 2-2-2 according to the RPG Rating System.

1) Player Conduct



  • Respect fellow players at all times, both in and out of character.
  • Harassment, discrimination, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.
  • Staff may request edits to keep posts within rating, tone, or canon.


2) Writing & Collaboration



  • Minimum activity is one in-character post every two weeks (unless on approved LOA).
  • Coordinate joint posts in Discord or email; allow partners time to reply before posting.
  • Write in third person, past tense. Proofread for clarity and Trek tone.
  • Stay consistent with Star Trek canon and the current mission setting.
  • No metagaming: do not use out-of-character knowledge in character.


3) Content Tags & Fade-to-Black



  • Add a simple content note at the top of posts when relevant (e.g., [Content: injury]).
  • Fade-to-black for sexual activity; keep details within 2-2-2 rating.
  • Moderate injury description is fine; avoid graphic gore or torture.


4) Character Use & Power-Playing



  • Do not write actions, dialogue, or injuries for another player’s character without permission.
  • NPCs may be used for routine interactions; major NPC actions require CO/XO approval.
  • Major consequences (arrests, serious injuries, shipwide effects) must be approved in advance.


5) Participation, LOA, and Inactivity



  • If you’ll be away, post in OOC or notify staff.
  • After approximately three weeks without contact, staff may reassign your role to keep the story moving.


6) Technology, Lore, and Continuity



  • Keep technology consistent with established Trek norms for our era.
  • Respect previously established facts in-sim. Request staff approval for retcons.


7) Moderation & Enforcement



  • We will always start with a friendly reminder or request for edits.
  • Repeated or serious issues may result in post removal or removal from the sim.
  • Concerns can be discussed with the XO and CO.
