Who are we?
Our Mission
We are a “Historical Role Play Community” and “Vice Combat” region set during the Vietnam Conflict in the game Second Life. The role playing community is dedicated to accurately recreate this misunderstood period of history (1965 – 1973) in Southeast Asia.
UNITED STATES NAVY & CARRIER TASK FORCE 77
The US Navy 7th Fleet’s Carrier Task Force 77 represents the Naval air, sea and river forces serving during the Vietnam conflict. We are a historical role play and Vice combat role playing Group dedicated to realistically recreating this complex conflict.
We currently have openings for Officer and Enlisted positions, pilots, and non-pilots. These range from roles for people who have just a few hours a week to spend with us to those who would like to help us grow, operate the Sims and advance to senior ranks. Experience is valued but not required and we provide training, uniforms, equipment, and quarters aboard for every position.
The Task Force includes the USS Kitty Hawk, a highly detailed and fully functional recreation of the historic US Navy aircraft carrier. Everything from the steam powered catapults on the flight deck to the trash cans in the enlisted mess operate just like the real thing. If you would like to get involved in helping to bring the Kitty Hawk to life, there are dozens of ways to do so. Whether you have the time to pitch in in a major way, the ambition to command a squadron or unit, or just want to be a part of the crew for an hour or two a week, we have something here for you. You can think of an aircraft carrier as a floating city. Any job that would be required in a city is needed aboard.
In addition to the Kitty Hawk, the Task Force operates the squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 11, and a Combined River Assault squadron.
To join us you can apply here. Someone will get back to you to arrange an in-world meeting to discuss your interest and our needs. Let us talk!
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
The 1st Regiment, 1st Marine Division were the first US Marines to go ashore in Vietnam in 1965. The 1st Marines are attached to the US Navy’s Carrier Task Force 77 and operate from their Forward Operating Base ashore. Our missions include providing security aboard Navy ships, securing and defending the FOB and the nearby town of Phu Yen, airborne and ground “search and destroy” operations against Viet Cong and NVA forces in Bihn Dinh and participation in offensive ground operations. Marines also serve as Pilots and Force Recon.
Force Recon is similar to the Navy SEALs in that they are heavily trained in airborne and combat diving techniques in order to allow them to bypass traditional land defense systems.
Uniforms and equipment are provided free but the training is intensive and not for everyone.
If you would like to see if you have what it takes to be a US Marine, apply here and we will reach out to you in-world.
