Captain’s Ready Room

Captain’s YachtCaptain's Yacht on a Sovreign class

Chief Communications Officer
In charge of communications. and, in this case of the USS Sutherland, much of the ship's mission specs were to do with communications.

Chief Engineer
Makes a Starship not blow up. On the USS Sutherland his role is more as a go between since the majority of Engineering staff (being Automatons and the likes of Lt. Shale) are not the sort to invite to a briefing in the Conference Lounge.

Chief Helmsman
Also known as Chief Helm Officer, or Chief Con Officer. Drives a Starship. In times gone by he would be assisted by a navigator, but now his task is so computer assisted that he tends to serve both functions.

Chief Medical Officer
Also known as CMO. In charge of all Medical concerns on the vessel. The only person aloud to relieve the Captain from active duty without mutiny proceedings, or a vote of all Bridge Crew.

Chief of Operations
Also known as Chief Opps Officer or Chief Systems Officer. Works the Sensors . It is their role to distribute the facilities to all the groups on board the ship. They would decide whether it’s the Stellar Cartographer’s or Astrophysicist’s turn to use the Sensor Array, and how much computer power any given group may use at a set time.

Coffee, Farmers Union, Iced
Instructions given to the Replicator in the Captain’s Ready Room on the USS Sutherland and USS Explorer.

Hopefully this will be rectified soon. Bajoran Compin (not in use till 2366)
