Khitomer Peace Award Winner

Reason for the award

USS Astrea’s website went live around the new year in 2024. It has since posted Theta Fleet’s award for posts per player each month since. The outstanding group of players gets along well out of character and always have one another’s backs. Family connections, friendships, and relationships are becoming well-developed, and the side plots that the crew get into are creative, from medical mysteries and family demons to roommate squabbles and authority issues.

Astrea, in the last year, has become a fantastic community. It’s setting in the latter years of the 2380s shows the aftermath of the Romulan Evacuation and it’s fallout. A wonderful cast of characters, a dynamic and unique setting and fantastic crew makes Astrea an outstanding sim.

Consistently, each month the sim had amazing participation from the crew with no need to implement posting requirement, and has been represented in the consistent monthly awards from Theta Fleet. They’ve completed four problem solving missions to conclusion and are deep into a complex project right now, but this crew also starts their own posts – rich character development happening in the sidelines with poker games, training exercises, and parenting posts among others.

The wiki pages and visuals on our site have been heavily contributed to by crew participation as well. Volunteers have taken up writing their race’s history, Astrea’s history, and other projects. One member just created a new badge for the sim, and is working on our banner. Everyone in this sim continues to volunteer to contribute to site and mission development. With 14 players now, and another in our discord chat talking about what character she wants to bring, this sim has a bright future.
