Officer Positions Availbility Description
  Operations Officer Closed While the day to day operation of a starship may fall solely on the commanding and/or executive officer, installations are much larger and complex and require the oversight of an additional department. The Operations Officer manages the activities of quartermaster personnel and supports the other departments as necessary.
  Flight Control Officer Open An installation does not have a helm, though there are typically a number of shuttle pods and other support craft that still need repair and maintenance. In addition to commanding an installation's boatswains, the Flight Control Officer, or simply "Flight Officer", manages the incoming and outgoing air traffic that swarm around bases, colonies, and the local space lanes. Some Flight Officers report to a Chief Operations Officer, while larger installations, or installations with a focus on flight operations, consider Flight Control its own department with its own chief officer.
  Science Officer Open The Science officer is one of the most important officers aboard the station, as the Sciences Department is currently the largest contingent of Starfleet, directly tackling Starfleet's goal to "seek out new life and civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before." They are the link, the reason. SCI officers conduct everything from planetary scans to the study spatial phenomena and cataloguing the smallest particle to studying various life forms. The Science officer often works with the Medical department for a number of cross-departmental items.
  Communications Officer Closed One of the main duties of the Comms officer is that of chief linguist on the ship, in charge of programming and updating the universal translator. The communications Officer would be on the bridge about half the time and most command watches. It would be the communications officer's responsibility not only to make sure the crew heard every command, but that all the systems in the ship were communicating with each other, from sensors to the tactical alert klaxons. The Comm officer was also in the command line, simply because the comm officer always had first hand knowledge of exactly what was happening.
  Medical Officer Closed The Medical Officer is a vital member of the crew as she/he is responsible for maintaining the health and safety of the officers on board the station. Among others the CMO is responsible for treating any injuries or diseases, initiating biohazard protocols, approving the transport to and from the surface in regards to possible communicating diseases or other unknown elements, setting and co-ordinating emergency medical facilities on board in time of battle, training and supervising her medical officers, and undertaking medical research.
  Counselor Closed The rigors of starship life pose their own mental stresses, but installations present much more complex stressors and circumstances. Many attribute this to a starship acting as a familiar return from a variety of exotic, yet temporary, situations, while an installation forces the subconscious to alter the fundamental concept of "home" - something many otherwise apt personnel have trouble accomplishing without help. Thus the position of Counselor for bases, outposts, and colonies has become a growing addition to many such Earth Starfleet locales.
  Armory Officer Closed Armory is responsible for the security of the station and all personnel therein. They man the weapons console, declaring all tactical sensor readings. They arrange any high-level counterintelligence measures to negate possible sabotage or terrorist penetration of the station. During diplomatic missions, they arrange for security escort as well as constant guard. They collaborate with other departments for the security of their personnel and equipment as well as collaborate with Engineering on all maintenance of Security systems. A security element must be present on all Away Missions.
  Engineering Officer Closed "The Man in the Basement". The Chief Engineer basically keeps the station together, and can be called upon to perform everything from balancing the power distribution net to construction of additional facilities. Though often overlooked, the Chief Engineer should be kept quite busy, especially during conflict. He is also known for problem solving tasks.
