Welcome to Velara
Welcome to the beautiful shores of Velara Colony. Located in the Alpha Quadrant near the Pleides Cluster, surrounded by the Exploratory Frontier, Velara was established for the eventual expansion of Federation Space to continue their mission of peace and exploration.
Velara's original intentions were for colonization but soon grew into one of the leading research facilities for oceanic and atmospheric studies. With masses such as the Pleides Cluster and the Taurus Dark Cloud nearby, science doesn't end in space.
Come join us as we continue to explore this new area of space as we discover more about the planet, our neighbors, and ourselves.
Colony History
The Velara Colony was founded in 2387 by the United Federation of Planets in a small previously explored area of territory. Located in the Alpha Quadrant near the Pleides Cluster, surrounded by the Exploratory Frontier, Velara was established for the eventual expansion of Federation Space to continue their mission of peace and exploration.
Velara's original intentions were for colonization but soon grew into one of the leading research facilities for oceanic and atmospheric studies. With masses such as the Pleides Cluster and the Taurus Dark Cloud nearby, science doesn't end in space.
The colonists on Velara initially depend on a monthly supply transports for food and unavailable resources that the planet did not offer, at least until new crops take hold in the rich soils of the planet. While wildlife is not overly abundant, the majority of the planet's surface is covered in ocean water that is brimming with sea life as one foodsource.
As this new colony and it's residents continue to grow and develop further, the quaint shores of Velara grows more and more popular with Starfleet crews as they participate in shore leave. The colony itself has nine standalone holosuites for residents and visitors to use for personal entertainment when not reserved by personnel for training exercises. The coastal shores offer activities such as sailing, swimming, and other water activities. More inland, just past the fields of growing farmland, is the Lanai Forest which is home to local fauna and wildlife, great for hiking and an overnight camping trip.
Regular cargo supplies that come in supplement produce supplied by residential hands. Imports, harvests, and local goods are sold and traded in the small quaint marketplace. Varieties of fish and oceanic nutrients are most popular. Be sure to visit a local eatery for some non traditional cuisine!
The offices and laboratories often hold tours for civilian and educational tours to encourage young minds to the wonders of science. With the Space Observatory and the Suboceanic Research Laboratory studying and discovering so much, there is always something new for each visit.
While the region is generally safe for residents, Starfleet and locals are prepared for safety. Two primary access to underground and underwater annexes are located in the middle of the two most densely populated regions along the shorelines. A third is also within the mainland for residents located further away.

OOC
Velara Colony is largely a science and character development based simulation. While we have a marine department, it is rather small compared to other simulations and is present primarily for safety and defense purposes for colony security and science team expeditions and works heavily with our Security teams, who operate much like a police and law enforcement service.
Velara Colony is a proud member of Pegasus Fleet, the Hyperion Task Group.
If you have an idea for a new type of character, we are certainly very much welcome to hearing your proposal. Velara is the perfect simulation for multiple positions in the civilian sector. Positions we are interested in but are not listed on the OPL include entertainment coordinator, moral officer/staff, and resort visitor/residents of intriguing characterization.Email all queries to velara.colony(at)googlemail(dot)com.
