I'm looking for five alternates for my PBEM game 'Why Do We Always Hurt The Ones We Want To Assimilate?'.

Let me guess: Star Trek FT, with the Borg in there somewhere... (All right, an easy guess - but the title's cool)

The game uses cinematic movement, Fleet Book rules, and a homebrew fleet (of someone else's design). The battle is centred on a large planet with a rapidly orbiting moon. Alternates can be down for open slots (called as needed), or for a particular side of the battle, and receive their messages. I believe each side is looking into having a web page.

Those who wish to lurk can view both sides of the game. Those who wish to be an alternate for a specific side can view that side's activities. Those who wish to be available as an alternate to either side will not be able to observe the game.
