-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starfleet Operations is the logistical arm of Starfleet. They make sure when a ship or star base needs something - they get it. Operations allocates resources, personnel, and deployment. All quartermasters, personnel officers and the like are parts of the Operations Branch. Starship Operations is a large department, responsible for the smooth running of a starship. Operations allocates power, manages personnel lists, logistics, computer processing power and operations, communications, and transporter operations just to name a few. In addition, they control all of the ship's resources, and prioritize usage among departments. In many cases they tend to work closely with the Engineering department. They organize research teams, investigation teams, and away missions if personnel from more than one department are involved. Positions: Chief of Operations - This officer is the overseer of all operations on a starship, ensuring that they function smoothly. Often times the Chief Operations Officer is the Second Officer on a Federation starship. The Chief Operations officer must coordinate with his entire department to do his job well, and ensure that the ship is at peak performance at all times. Mission Operations - This is a one deep slot filled by a trusted officer. This officer is charged with researching all pertinent data for missions/away teams, preparing mission briefings, organizing away teams, and issuing equipment. When an away team is deployed, the Mission Operations officer is posted on the bridge where they can monitor the away teams progress, act as a central point for communications, and coordinate emergency transports as necessary. Computer Operations - The officers of Computer Operations are trusted with the maintenance, backup, and occasional recovery of the Main and Auxiliary Computer Cores. In addition to maintaining data and standard programs, skilled computer operators have been known to modify or even write programs on demand as needed. Transporter Operations - The officers of Transporter Operations are few in number. Their main purpose is to supervise the enlisted technicians that operate the ship's transporters. They are responsible for ensuring safe and efficient transports, as well as assisting their subordinates try to accommodate the occasional unusual request. In addition, on the occasion that something goes awry, it is the job of the Transporter Officers to conduct an official investigation. Logistical Operations - The officers in charge of logistics have a daunting, tireless and thankless task that is nonetheless vital to starship operations. It is their responsibility to ensure that there are spare parts available for emergency repairs, that the ship has enough raw materials on board for use by the replicators, and they supervise the loading, transport, and unloading of all material brought into the cargo bays. Special Services Officers - Services Officers are the jack-of-all-trades. They supervise the largest number of enlisted technicians. From personnel specialists, cooks, administrative personnel, etc... Many personnel from this department pull extra duty when visitors are on board, functioning as escorts and guides, and ensuring that all of their needs are met. Operations Manager - This is a full time duty, and the position on the bridge. All operations officers take turns doing rotations at this station. The Operations Manager utilizes their station to prioritize and allocate resources to various departments during missions. In addition, the Operations Manager coordinates all communications, operates sensors, and coordinates damage control efforts. Boatswain - Each vessel and base has one Warrant Officer (or Chief Warrant Officer) who holds the position of Boatswain. The Boatswain (pronounced and also written "Bosun" or "Bos'n") trains and supervises personnel (including both the ship's company or base personnel as well as passengers or vessels) in general ship and base operations, repairs, and protocols; maintains duty assignments for all Operations personnel; sets the agenda for instruction in general ship and base operations; supervises auxiliary and utility service personnel and daily ship or base maintenance; coordinates all personnel cross-trained in damage control operations and supervises damage control and emergency operations; may assume any Bridge or Operations role as required; and is qualified to temporarily act at Operations if so ordered.
