My curiosity is piqued. I'm interested to see what could have happened in that milieu with some actual thoughtfulness put into the writing.

Here's the introduction. I hope this doesn't count as advertising for another site. If so, my apologies Graham.

In a nutshell, Romulans are using a device to capture enemy ships and control them in attacks against Federation targets. This is mainly done to break up the new Coalition of Planets (the future Federation), largely by framing the Klingons. The plot is eventually figured out, but not before the sith hits the fan.

Nah thats fine, we reference MA and other sites all the time.

There's even a whole subforum to talk about websites, it's not a problem to do that. The rule is there for people advertising paysites to try and attract customers; discussion of free sites is not an issue.

I've always thought that the "Kobayashi Maru" was an odd name. What IS that? Any historical reference???

Hmmm.....interesting

[Tsukiyumi]

Probably just something they thought sounded cool.
