2-22-2014 PLANET “T” Elimination Mission
Hi Everyone,
Planning a mission of this magnitude takes research to make it believable that it could have taken place in the BSG Universe. Even though there was available information about Planet “T;” Sgt Paul “Iceworm” Oakley and Col. Keith “Leonidas” Ranson were required to work out the details before the crew of the Battlestar Raven could perform the mission. The next hurdle is to choose a date that best fits in everyone’s schedule that would like to take part of the event.
One of our goals aboard the Raven is to keep as many crew members as possible interested and active so they don’t just become a name on a roster in a fan club. Anyone can compile a list of names to give the illusion of a great place for a given set of fans to join and have fun interacting with like minded individuals. It’s much different to actually have such a place where fans truly have fun.
We will continue to strive to achieve our goal until the Battlestar Raven is a reflection of an actual Battlestar operating in the BSG Universe.
SO SAY WE ALL!!!!!
