Come warriors, my blade thirst for combat!

Great! We are looking forward to the #springswing2018, as we can't await the spring starting. Time for fun in the sun! We have our flower gun ready for the party, and our phasers charged for the colony sim. Good idea! Larry made a nice tutorial for the colony simulation, for all who dont know what to do there (like us, lol). Gotta get some Disco balls now! :-) 

The Spring Swing Fashion Show:

There will be 3 categories for this event but unlike previous Fashion shows, there will only be stonewall credits awarded for the first place in each category only. There will also be stonewall credits awarded according to 3 "secret categories" known only to the judges, these categorie each award 3 stonewall credits. As for all categories, feel free to use any abilities, items, pets and anything else that will add a visual flair to your look.

The official Categories are:

Floral Fighter:
Show us your best combat look using the bright colors of spring flowers. "I'm thinking... pastels?" (hope some people get the reference, lol.)


Verdant Vixen:
Whether your toon is male, female or neither, show is a sultry on-or-off duty look that will send even the most stoic Vulcan into Pon-Farr. Think: 50 shades of green!


And in honor of our Tales Out of Time writing competition:
Throwback from Yesterday
Show us your Captain's look from another time, whether it be TOS, Enterprise, Discovery, early TNG, DS9 or any other non-STO-specific era. Surely your Captain's engaged in a little bit of time travel in their adventures?
