Positions Defined

Position: Captain/CO

Responsibilities:: The Captain is responsible for the execution of orders from superior officers and the Klingon High Council. The Captain is the commander of the ship.
Sim:: The Captain has a rough idea off what the outcome of a sim will be and will guide the other officers in the right direction. Because there are so many people to command in a sim, he will usually put people in-groups to work toward a common goal. Pay close attention to the Captain's logs, they will contain vital information about the upcoming sims, which will help you prepare.
Responsibilities:: The XO is second in command and is responsible for execution of orders from superior officers, namely the Captain. He/She is the commander of the crew and makes command decisions in accordance with Klingon procedures and the Captain's wishes.
Sim:: The XO has a rough idea of what the outcome of a sim will be and will guide the other officers in the right direction while building on their ideas and suggestions. When on the bridge the XO will work with the department heads and relay suggestions to the Captain. The XO will lead 99% of away team missions. Pay close attention to the XO's logs, they will contain many clues on how to prepare for upcoming sims.
Responsibilities:: The SO is third in command and is responsible for the execution of orders from superior officers, namely the XO or if the XO is absent the Captain. He/She is the secondary commander of the crew and makes command decisions in accordance with Klingon procedures and the XO's/CO's wishes.
Sim:: The SO will have a very general idea of what the outcome of a sim will be and will guide the other officers in the right direction while building on their ideas and suggestions. The SO will work at his/her assigned duty station unless called for by either the XO or the Captain to perform another duty. The SO will handle 99% of away missions when the XO is absent. Pay close attention to the SO's logs, they will contain some clues on how to prepare for upcoming sims.
Responsibilities:: The Helm officer steers the ship. The Helm can also handle sensors and monitor the status of the ship (however this is usually handled by Operations or Tactical).
Sim:: This position can be slow at times, so it is ok to work with Operations and Tactical in some situations. During times of high-risk maneuvers it's a key position on the ship.
Responsibilities:: The Operations Officer is a bit of a utility man/woman who does a little of everything. The Operations Officer is in short a "Jack of All Trades" and should monitor all happenings in a sim. This is one of the key positions that the Captain/XO/SO will depend on.
Sim:: The Operations Officer should coordinate with Helm, Engineering, and Tactical and report any suggestions to the SO or XO. This position can be challenging during battle situations.
Responsibilities:: The Tactical Officer is in charge of ship-wide defense, the ship's weapons, shields, cloaking devices, tractor beams, and most importantly second by second damage reports as it is being inflicted on the ship.
Sim:: This is one the more exciting positions on the ship because Tactical is involved with the action packed starship battles. The Tactical Officer should be suspicious about every unknown vessel we come in contact with.
Responsibilities:: Responsible for all internal security on the ship and all away team missions.
Sim:: The Security Officers should work on all aspects of security on the ship to include registering weapons, upkeep of the brig, providing security for guests, security training on the holodecks during down time, etc.
Responsibilities:: The Engineers are the mechanics of the ship. They are responsible for all power generation, computer systems, and propulsion systems.
Sim:: The Engineers are the miracle workers of the ship. When the Captain asks for the impossible he/she looks to his/her Engineers. They usually work in Engineering but can work on the bridge at a computer console if necessary. The Chief Engineer is the only one who will contact the bridge unless one of the Assistant Engineers has been given instructions to do so. Otherwise standard protocol dictates that the Assistant Engineers will contact the Chief Engineer and he/she will decide whether or not it warrants contacting the bridge.
Responsibilities:: They are responsible for the wellness of the crew and treating the injured. The CS has the authority to remove anyone from duty for medical reasons, including the Captain, XO, and SO. The CS runs sickbay and all communications go through the CS. In other words the AS under the CS will not contact the bridge directly unless the CS is on an away mission or explicit instructions have been given to the AS granting permission to do so.
Sim:: This is one of the hardest positions to play but it can also be the most recognized. The medical team should make sure that the crew is in good health by performing routine physicals. Medical personnel are almost always in sick bay but will frequently go on away team missions, especially when casualties are reported.
Responsibilities:: The Science Officers are responsible for analyzing anything that the ship may encounter while traveling through space. This includes analyzing any unknown and or suspicious vessels that the ship may come across such as vessels that are adrift.
Sim:: Science can also get a little slow in some situations so the Science Officers should coordinate their work with Operations and Engineering.
Responsibilities:: The Squadron Commander is responsible for the combat readiness of his/her pilots. The Squadron Commander is also in charge of the squadron during sorties. The Squadron commander takes his/her orders from the Captain of the carrier ship that he/she is attached to and then is responsible for formulating a plan of attack and then briefing his/her Pilots.
Sim:: The Pilots and the Squadron Commander will deploy during any hostile situation where the carrier or the vessels it is escorting/supporting have come under fire. While the carrier can defend itself it is slow to turn and can easily be outmaneuvered by most any ship during combat. Thus the fighter pilots have a great responsibility for keeping the ship safe from harm.
