UFPDOCA Official Submission Template --------------------------------------------------------------- Colony Name: self-explanatory Creator: If you created this world on your own, simply supply your own name. Otherwise, please detail the co-creators of the planet, since we do want to give credit to those who have earned it. =============================================================== GEOGRAPHY System/Location: Name of system, and location. If your colony is located near a neutral zone, near disputed territory, etc., please detail that information here. Distance to Nearest Starbase: Approximate time, in days/weeks at Warp 6, to the nearest Federation starbase. This tells how remote the colony is, and also has a significant impact on how soon help could arrive from Starfleet. This base need not be one of the fleet command bases (ALPHA, GAMMA, DELTA, etc.). It can be one of the 'lesser' starbases, an outpost, DS station, etc. Planet Classification: M-Class, L-Class, etc. This tells other players how large your planet is, and what kind of atmosphere it has. A full catalogue of the alphabetical planet classification system Star Trek uses is available on the DOCA website to help you out. If the colony has a non-oxygen atmosphere, please detail what kind of atmosphere. Also, if the colony's gravity is significantly over or under 1G (Earth gravity), please detail this information here. Satellites/Space Stations: Number of moons, and whether or not they are inhabited. Please also supply whether or not there are any orbiting space stations. Land/Water Ratio: Percent land/percent water. Climate Controlled: Yes/No. Some colonies will be, others will not. Native Sentient Life: Yes/No. Again, some colonies will have it, and others will not. ================================================================== COLONY INFORMATION Colony Age (approximate): Years since the foundation of the colony. You may also, if you have a specific year in mind, supply that information, but that is not necessary--you may approximate. Population (approximate): Again, exact figures are not necessary. You may approximate this number to the nearest million, thousand, hundred, etc. Species Present: If the colony is almost entirely human, you may simply put 'Human' in this field. If there are a significant number of non- humans present (over 5 percent), please detail the percentages involved. Colony Status: This field describes the colony's official and unofficial relationship with the UFP. Many colonies will be 'UFP Protectorates,' but others will be of other classes; independent, eg. Government: If the colony has a specific form/manner of governing itself, detail this here. Some colonies will be in states of 'anarchy.' If this is the case, please detail how bad the situation is. Major Cities/Settlements: Self-explanatory. This field may be left blank, if necessary. History: Detail (briefly) the colony's history. Please include any important events, treaties, etc. here. Be detailed, but don't try to explain everything. Economy: Most will be latinum-based, though depending on other factors (tech level, government, etc.), their economy could be based on something else. Also, this would be where you would detail any major products the world is noted for, or industries. Tech Level: Level of technology. For most worlds, this will simply be 'Modern,' though, some may be less advanced. Culture: Culture and society of the world. Describe what, if anything, makes the colony unique. Notes: Use this field to cover anything that the other fields fail to cover. If you have further questions, please use the colonies already submitted as examples. Good luck!
