Stonewall's 10th Anniversary Celebration!

September 05 2018





EVENT ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 & SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30:  This year marks a very special occasion for all of us here in Stonewall!  Having been founded in 2008, Stonewall Fleet, and by extension, the Stonewall Gaming Network (SGN) as we now know it, has reached a decade in age!  Ten years is a huge milestone for any online gaming community, so no ordinary party would do!  We plan to celebrate our 10th with a big bash, featuring events for our members across the network!  While several events will take place in Star Trek Online and will be open to the entire Stonewall Fleet Armada, there are also many out-of-game events that will allow our members from across the network the opportunity to join the party!  Of course, no party of this size would be worth having, without amazing prize draws and exclusive loot winning opportunities!  We'll post more about our 10th anniversary raffle and details about some of our other events in this thread!  Happy 10th anniversary, Stonewallers!  I hope to see you at the event!

Stonewallers: As you know, our big 10th anniversary bash is just around the corner, on the weekend of September 29th & 30th!  Part of the weekend anniversary event will be a livestream, and during it, I'd love to show off some great Stonewall moments from years past!

If you have any old/new moments captured in screenshots or videos that you'd love to have highlighted during the stream, send me a DM here on the site or through Discord!  No guarantee that we'll be able to include all, but I'll see what we can do!

Let's see what we can dig up in the last 10 years of Stonewall!

As part of our #SGN10 even coming this weekend (29th - 30th Sept) we will be hosting a Dominion war Reenactment, taking place on Sunday 30th @ 6pm EDT.


The rules are pretty simple.. do you want to play as Dominion aligned.. or Federation aligned?

On the day you will be split into two teams, and we will PvP against each other.

Space magic/abilities are allowed..


However

You must take part in a TNG/DS9 era ship.

(if you choose to play as Dominion you are permitted to bring along your New jem hadar, Breen & Cardasian ships.)

Federation aligned, inc Romulan and KDF.. must be TNG (24th century canon ships) era only. no STO+ era


TNG era Fed/KDF/ROM 24th century canon ships include:

TNG era ships -

- Galaxy Class

- Nebula Class

- Ambassador class

- Excelsior class

- Romulan warbird d'deridex

- new orleans class

- Klingon bird of prey


etc etc..

Try your best to use cannon aligned weapons, eg, fed used Phaser (orange), Dominion used Poloron (purple), ROM plasma (green)

why not watch over Deep Space Nine episode "What you leave behind" to see the kind of ships that took part in the great Dominion war, and be inspired.


See you on the battlefield this weekend, 

Scroll up to the top to see the other events we have planned!

If using phasers, do they strictly have to be all orange? Mine are a mix of orange & blue/retro, since I've never much cared what color the beams were.

That Dominion War re-enactment sounds like great fun! Since it's already Monday at my location then, though, I can't say for certain whether I'll make it.

Oooooh those are a lot of little mineral stonies! We could build a beautiful little stonewall with them!

I guesstimate them to be 861 little stonies.

Good luck to all participants! And what a nice idea this #CONTEST10 is!
