United Confederation of Interstellar Planets
The United Confederation of Interstellar Planets, known more commonly among its membership as UCIP, is a simming organization that was founded in 1994. Since its inception, UCIP has become known for its quality simulations and simming environment, advanced simmer training programs, and general OOC support structure. It has been recognized by Yahoo! Internet Life as being the best Star Trek RPG on the internet. Yahoo! Internet Life Article.
Since it's creation UCIP has grown substantially and is now home to dozens of simulations of numerous genres including Star Trek, Stargate, and Battlestar Galactica. SIMs in UCIP are grouped together into two simming divisions: The Trek Division, which houses all Starfleet and Federation SIMs, as well as SIMs from the Romulan Star Empire; and the Independent Simming Division, which houses all alternate-genre and all Star Trek simulations that do now participate in the UCIP Timeline. There is one additional division within UCIP, known as the Services Division, which is tasked with providing all OOC services for the organization.
Named officially changed to simply the acronym UCIP
Greetings,
In accordance with the Executive Powers Act 2009, I am issuing my first Executive Order. As of Sept 5th 2009, the organisation known as the United Confederation of Interstellar Planets will no longer exist under that name. Our organisation has grown and moved on from its original founding principles 14 years ago, when the name applied. We now incorporate a wide range of Genre’s beyond simply Star Trek. Even the IC universe that was the Confederation of Planets has now gone. Instead of coming up with a new name or finding a name that fits in with UCIP as it is, we are going to make things much simpler. Since everyone refers to the org as UCIP anyway, we are simply dropping the words that it stands for.
The United Confederation of Interstellar Planets organisation will now simply be called “UCIP International”, with the UCIP not standing for anything. I know this isn’t terribly exciting or particularly clever, but it enables us to move forward from our past, whilst not forgetting it.'
Regards, Frankie, President of UCIP Int.
However, general consensus within the organization has been that the name change was pointless.
Trek Division
The largest of UCIP's simming divisions is the Trek Division and it is currently headed by Admiral Nathan Acheson and Vice Admiral Tarja Varpu.
The UFP Division is home to eleven Starfleet simulations, divided among two fleets, that allow players to experience what it is like to be an officer in Starfleet. Each Fleet offers SIMs a unique In Character (IC) simming environment. The current simulations within the UFP Division are as followed:
Zetari Station
USS Enterprise
USS Griffin
USS Melbourne
USS Warrior
USS Atlantia
USS Charon
USS Intrepid
USS Vindicator
Starbase Versailles
USS Archer
The UFP Division also offers simmers the opportunity to become involved in the Starfleet Marine Corps (SFMC). Starfleet Marines are found throughout SIMs in the UFP, but can also be found at Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), the IC Headquarters for the SFMC. HQMC also operates a marine simming project known as the 75th Rangers, which is an all-marine simming project aimed at showing players in the SFMC how a marine-oriented simulations may be conducted.
This Division also offers the opportunity to join the more secret side of Starfleet and be involved with First Force Special Operations. They are the Navy SEALs of the Star Trek universe, answering the need for small infiltration Teams. First Force can be found on a number of sims as well as at Starfleet Command and at the home of First Force, Polaris I. First Force Command runs a Team assigned on Earth as well as on Beta Fleets Starbasee 22 to allow simmers to see, much in the fashion of HQMC's 75th Rangers, how a First Force Team and Unit may Operate.
Independent Simming Division
The Independent Simming Division is under the command of [Gordon Clark, is home to alternate genre sims and non UCIP Timeline based Star Trek Simulation.
