USS Pacifica OOC History
Origins
The USS Pacifica’s history began with the founding of the USS Liberty an independent Galaxy Class RPG operated by Captain Kimberley Harper in April 1999. Daniel Butterworth joined the Liberty as the vessel’s Chief Operations Officer in October 2000 and then became the ship’s Executive Officer in November. Four new players joined the group in December consisting of Connie Morgan, Matthew Horne, Luke Evans and Rhys McCarthy bringing the ship’s total number of players up to eleven. A change in command occurred on the Liberty in the early months of January 2001 when Harper stepped down as Commanding Officer due to real life time restraints and passed the torch onto Butterworth who took over as CO.
At the personal request of Captain Harper the Liberty was retired at the end of January and the USS Pacifica a Sovereign Class starship was commissioned to take it’s place. On the 3rd of February Luke Evans became the new Executive Officer and Matthew Horne became chief engineer. Over the next few months another four players joined the ship with Chris Johnson joining in February, Evan Ottaway in April, followed by Mark Kirkwood and Jeremy Ashdown in June. The Pacifica’s history with Bravo Fleet also began in the month of June 2001 when Butterworth first joined the fleet as Executive Officer on the USS Iowa. Liking what he saw with the fleet set up and structure Butterworth discussed the possibility of joining the fleet with the Pacifica’s crew and the decision was eventually reached to officially join Bravo Fleet which happened on the 12th of July 2001. The Liberty’s old mailing list was replaced with a new one for the Pacifica and the ship’s history was reset and the ship began anew.
