Departments & Positions
-
Command (Starbase 80)
The Command department is ultimately responsible for the ship and its crew, and those within the department are responsible for commanding the vessel and representing the interests of Starfleet.
Commanding Officer Ultimately responsible for the ship and crew, the Commanding Officer is the most senior officer aboard a vessel. S/he is responsible for carrying out the orders of Starfleet, and for representing both Starfleet and the Federation. Executive Officer The liaison between captain and crew, the Executive Officer acts as the disciplinarian, personnel manager, advisor to the captain, and much more. S/he is also one of only two officers, along with the Chief Medical Officer, that can remove a Commanding Officer from duty. Second Officer At times the XO must assume command of a Starship or base, when this happens the XO needs the help of another officer to assume his/her role as XO. The second officer is not a stand alone position, but a role given to the highest ranked and trusted officer aboard. When required the Second Officer will assume the role of XO, or if needed CO, and performs their duties as listed, for as long as required. Forward Air Controller The primary function of a Forward Air Controller is ensuring the safety of friendly troops. Enemy targets in the Front line ("Forward Edge of the Battle Area" in Starfleet Marine terminology) are often close to friendly forces and therefore friendly forces are at risk of friendly fire through proximity during air attack. The danger is twofold: the bombing pilot cannot identify the target clearly, and is not aware of the locations of friendly forces. Camouflage, constantly changing situation and the fog of war all increase the risk. Forward Air Controllers are not needed for air interdiction, the term used for air attacks conducted at further distances from friendly forces. Command Master Chief The seniormost Chief Petty Officer (including Senior and Master Chiefs), regardless of rating, is designated by the Commanding Officer as the Chief of the Boat (for vessels) or Command Chief (for starbases). In addition to his or her departmental responsibilities, the COB/CC performs the following duties: serves as a liaison between the Commanding Officer (or Executive Officer) and the enlisted crewmen; ensures enlisted crews understand Command policies; advises the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer regarding enlisted morale, and evaluates the quality of noncommissioned officer leadership, management, and supervisory training.
The COB/CC works with the other department heads, Chiefs, supervisors, and crewmen to insure discipline is equitably maintained, and the welfare, morale, and health needs of the enlisted personnel are met. The COB/CC is qualified to temporarily act as Commanding or Executive Officer if so ordered.Mission Advisor Advises the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer on mission-specific areas of importance. Many times, the Mission Advisor knows just as much about the mission as the CO and XO do, if not even more. He or she also performs mission-specific tasks, and can take on any roles that a mission requires him or her to do. Concurrently holds another position, except in rare circumstances. Chief of Staff The roles of the Chief of Staff are both managerial and advisory and can include the following:
*Select Ancillary Starbase Command staff and supervise them.
*Structure the Starbase's staff system.
*Control the flow of people into the CO's Office.
*Manage the flow of information.
*Protect the interests of the CO and the Command Structure.
*Issue press statements and releases.
*Advise the CO and Command Team on various issues.
XO's Yeoman The Executive Officer's Yeoman is for Petty Officers who wish to continue as administrators. It is technically a non-Mate position. Use of this position is completely at the discretion of the Executive Officer. File work, and sensitive message transport are but two examples of the Yeoman's possible duties. The Yeoman assists the XO in day-to-day duties that the XO would otherwise not have the time to do.

The United Federation Starfleet Security and Investigative Services Branch is responsible for Security on starfleet Ships, Stations, Facilities and Outposts. In this function, they act in ways analogous to local and regional police agencies, however UF Starfleet Security's mandate extends much farther than that. Starfleet Security cooperates with Starfleet Intelligence regarding covert intelligence gathering missions. A branch of Starfleet Security is tasked with the protection of the Commander-in-Chief and the UFS Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Forensic Scientist Forensic scientists gather and evaluate evidence from the victims, vehicles, and scenes of crimes. They analyze the data scientifically, and their findings may help to convict or prove the innocence of a person accused of a crime. Forensic scientists are sometimes known as crime lab analysts or criminalists. Criminalist Criminalists identify, compare, analyze, and interpret physical evidence. A criminalist's primary role is to objectively examine physical evidence using investigative skills and practical experience. It is the criminalist's job to separate important evidence from trivial evidence that has little or no intrinsic value. Using scientific methods the criminalist then identifies, sorts, and compares the evidence in a way that will be useful to the trial or investigation.
