Blackwatch
Blackwatch is the reason the USS Rubicon exists, and it is where this sim is played. Behind the ship's cover as a routine border patrol vessel, Blackwatch is her true purpose: teams of volunteers drawn from across the crew and trained for the direct-action and intelligence work the Neutral Zone demands and ordinary duty cannot. Crossing the line to bring someone back. Reaching a place the Federation can never be seen to have reached. Going first, and going capably, into the operation nobody else is trained for. Its members come from every department aboard, but their work, and their story, is Blackwatch. (See the Blackwatch wiki for structure, roles, and how to join.)
