Welcome to the Deck 5 Lounge

Travelers are requested to be in the lounge at 19:00 for a briefing on the Enterprise's upcoming visit to Fornax. The briefing will begin promptly at 1905 and last approximately 15 minutes. Senior officers will be available for questions until 20:00. Afterwards, enjoy the lounge per usual!

Fornax IC/OOC Information

Crew and travelers will remain lodged on board the Enterprise but can sign up to be transported down to the surface of Fornax over the course of the 10 days while Captain Kirk and his senior staff work on a Federation Trade Treaty with the Fornax High Council. Excursions to the Fornax surface will last no longer than 12 standard hours at a time and each transport can accommodate up to 12 people. Sign ups will be available and as long as there is space available, travelers and crewmembers alike can visit the Fornax capital as often as they'd like.

Fornax is a desert-planet with a red sun. There are three main colonies on the surface. During this shore leave opportunity, we will be visiting the colony capital of Fornaxim, located in the center of a dried-up ocean cavern. Highlights of the capital include a being-created reservoir and waterfall; the city's hydroponic gardens; two casinos (18 and older only); the Museum of Interstellar Settlements & Travel; and a pod-racing track. Food is root-vegetable and wild game based, and the Fornaxians are known for their distilleries, which produce a potent raw rye whiskey.

OOC Note: I'm posting this now but will be AFK until about 9 p.m. EST tonight so please be patient with specific questions/answers. Otherwise, treat this as any Lounge post and have fun.
