  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.

  Show Positions

  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.
  Commanding Officer		Ultimately responsible for the ship and crew, the Commanding Officer (CO) 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.
  First Officer		The liaison between captain and crew, the Executive Officer (XO) 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, who 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 assistance of another officer to assume his/her role as XO. 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.
  Third Officer		At times the 2XO must assume command of a Starship or base, when this happens the 2XO needs the help of another officer to assume his/her role as XO. The third officer is not a stand alone position, but a role given to the highest ranked or trusted officer aboard. When required, the Third Officer will assume the role of XO, or if needed CO, and performs their duties as listed, for as long as required.
  Strategic Operations Officer		The Strategic Operations Officer is a unique officer within the starship's Command department. He or she answers to the CO and XO, and is responsible for coordinating Starfleet and allied assets within a designated area of space, as well as tactical analysis and intelligence gathering.
