During a starship’s tour of duty, the Sciences Department is always the most active. Sciences studies, investigates, analyzes, and records scientific phenomenon. There is also opportunity for experimentation and research. On occasion this department (and others) may have civilian research personnel on staff or as project supervisors, in which case the Sciences Department is at their disposal. Medical life sciences are also an aspect of this department.
