What's Happening Now?

After years of searching, the Colonial Fleet found a suitable world where they could try to rebuild. For a time, it seemed the Cylons had given up or simply lost track of their whereabouts - and the new Colony was well-established. Trade agreements and negotiations with other races in that part of the Galaxy helped with providing supplies and materials and the Colonials were able to start rebuilding their lives.

Unfortunately, the Cylons did find them again.

Currently a massive all out attack against the Colonial Fleet is underway. Six Cylon Basestars have attacked the system. Thinking that the Battlestar PHOENIX was destroyed in a previous battle, the Cylons attacked the star system believing they could defeat mankind once and for all. PHOENIX however was not destroyed, and returned with a long lost friend and ally... the Battlestar GALACTICA!

The tide of war has shifted once again; this time taking the Cylons by surprise ...

Game Manager Profile - Fleet Admiral Rhea Kydalla

Characters played: FADM Rhea Kydalla, ADM William Adama, CPT Kara Thrace

I have been simming for twelve years in various genres - everything from Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Babylon 5, X-Men and Stargate. I have been a fan of Battlestar Galactica since I was just 8 years old (no I won't tell you how old I am now) and still have the original toys which were sold way back when. I enjoy role-playing games, it's a break from the stresses of real life and my general outlook on running a game is that I start the story, but then allow the players to decide with their additions to the plot as it develops to ultimately decide how we reach the end of the storyline. I truly believe that this very open approach to how the game is run is a large part of why the Helios RPG has remained active for so many years. I could not have done this on my own however, and full credit must be given to my AGM staff on the Helios RPG - without their help and support it wouldn't have been possible.

Profile - Major Jayde Micra

Characters played: MAJ Jayde Micra, Siress Mishka Devere - Council of 12 Presidents


Jayde - Raised as an orphan in the mountains on Aeria, she decided to become a warrior after seeing a warrior defend the small village where her orphanage was located. Once she graduated she specialised in long range patrols, as she was a loner, very quiet and reserved around other people. She had been on a long range patrol when the colonies were attacked and upon her return caught sight of the helios fleet leaving and joined up with them.

She excelled as a long range scout and hand to hand fighter and eventually she meet Lt Harks Micra, whom she later married and they now have three children together. She has worked her way up the ranks to Major, happy to stay there as Harks is now a Colonel and was in command of the Frigate Orion until it was destroyed in battle recently. She has recently began to question her commitment as a warrior due to her growing family and her wish to have even more children.

Mishka - She had always been raised to serve others and it was natural she became a politician. She worked tirelessly to improve the health and well being off all the people of the colonies, not just Aerians. She became patron of a number of orphanages and was at the time of the attacks a member of the council of 12, but she gave her position on an escape vessel for several children. She was then rescued and went to the helios fleet. she was made a member of the council of 12 and eventually rose to rank of president. a strong supporter of the military, her late husband was a commander of a battlestar before his death, which has made her many enemies on the council. there have been numerous attempts on her life, one was almost successful.

"I became an AGM approx five or six years ago and participate in storyline idea's and directions. I also manage promotions of characters up the ranks and where their character is posted - either on a ship or base. I also harass people to post when it gets a bit quiet and have formed up some posting guidelines and requirements. I don't strictly enforce these though as the game has always been more freer style than some of the other RPG's I am in. I have also done up a number of basic bio's for some civilian characters to encourage a broader spectrum of characters and postings - trying to get more into civilian life as well as the military side of things."

Profile - Major Alex Kolopak

Character played: MAJ Alex Kolopak

My name is Victor, I'm 33 years old and I first started playing on Battlestar Helios back in May 2003. My God it's hard to believe that it will soon be 5 years since I've been a part of this long running sim. I have been role-playing in one form or another since I was 14 years old, and although there are times that I feel run down and as if my imagination has run dry I'm still around and posting. It's the best medicine for escaping real life. I found Helios, thanks to her GM, who just happened to be on another sim with me. Through chats she discovered I was also a fan of Battlestar Galactica and told me about Helios and in no time at all I found myself on board, and part of the sims wonderful journey.

My Character is Alex Kolopak, his rank is currently that of a Major and he serves on board the Battlestar Phoenix as its Chief Engineer and the Second Officer. He started out as the Chief Engineer of the Helios, and managed to survive long enough to have had a few adventures. His first adventure was actually part of a search party on what at the time they believed was the long abandoned Galactica. But what they soon discovered was that the ship was actually from an alternate universe. He rarely had time to join in such adventures again since his duties as chief engineer kept him on ship most of the time. His next time off ship was when they discovered the jumpgate where they met some ships from the long lost 13th tribe. In fact it was while Alex was studying the inner technology of the gate that hyperspace window opened and nearly killed him. Shortly after the discovery of the gateway and meeting their long lost cousins, the Helios fleet found a new home in the Yavin System The Battlestar Phoenix, which Alex currently serves on, is the first new Battlestar built by the survivors of the Helios fleet and is also the flagship for the rebuilding Colonial Fleet. He personally oversaw its construction and in many ways views it as his child. He is proud of the work he and the other survivors have done and will do anything to protect their new lives. Alex is a gentle man that in his younger years actually studied in the seminary for a time, however he soon learned that the Priesthood was not his calling. After leaving he joined the Colonial Military Academy specializing in engineering. He had served on several ships after his graduation, two of them being Battlestars. When the attack on the Colonies came he had no idea how he made it, but when he awoke he found himself on the Helios which was a ship that was long decommissioned and put back together by some of the survivors and they used it as the protector of their small rag tag fleet. Alex worked hard and soon became the Battlestar's chief engineer and the rest as they say is history.
