NEW SHIP POLICY
The following is a New Ship/Captain Application for those who want to join Celestial Prime (CP). If you are not the CO of a ship, but you think your Captain might be interested in joining, forward this to him/her, and tell him that you think joining the CP is a good idea.

We must have all information to consider you as an advanced sim host for CP. Please put Admiral Ketchum (keithketchum@aol.com) on your mail string. He is the New Host/New Ship director, and will be watching to see what type of sim and what kind of players we are welcoming.
