	The '''science''' department is responsible ~~of a~~ starship's scientific duties and research. ~~Their duties are primary to perform studies into various~~ fields~~, perform experiments in laboratories, collecting samples and data, and providing relevant bridge duties including sensor operations and communications~~. Science ~~crewmembers will wear~~ blue clothing.		The '''science''' department is responsible for the Magellan-class starship's scientific duties and research. Since exploration vessels such as the Magellan with their wide ranging remit must deal with a great variety of possible investigations, the department consists of specialists from many different fields. Science department crew members can be identified by their blue coloured clothing.

	==Overview==		==Overview==
	~~The~~ science department ~~serves as~~ the ~~scientific experts on~~ the ~~ship. It consists of experts from various fields of science,~~ including astronomy, astrophysics, biology, botany, chemistry, geology, linguistics, material sciences, and quantum physics. ~~The majority of~~ science department work takes place in the laboratories on [[C Deck]]~~. However~~, two members of the science team ~~will be~~ stationed on the [[bridge]] to operate the ~~science stations~~ ([[Sensors Station]] and [[Comms Station]]).		In some ways the entire purpose of the ship's mission is to bring the science department into first hand contact with the mysteries and new knowledge that space exploration affords. To that end the vessel is equipped to allow round the clock expertise to be brought to bear in many disciplines including astronomy, astrophysics, biology, botany, chemistry, geology, linguistics, material sciences, and quantum physics. Most science department work takes place in the laboratories on [[C Deck]]; however, two members of the science team are stationed on the [[bridge]] to operate and interpret the ([[Sensors Station]] and [[Comms Station]]) functions.

	~~Currently,~~ science department crew ~~operate only~~ on the bridge. A sensors specialist can be spawned at the Sensors Station, where operate the [[sensors]] to run surveys of celestial objects. ~~They can also uses these to provide~~ navigation ~~targets~~ for the [[Helm]]. A Comms Officer can be spawned in the Comms Station, ~~though~~ their role ~~has currently not been implemented~~.		As the game play evolves science department NPCs and players will engage with increasingly complex scientific operations, although currently crew contribute to gameplay solely on the bridge. A sensors specialist can be spawned at the Sensors Station, where NPCs can operate the [[sensors]] in response to commands to, for example, run surveys of celestial objects. As part of ship wide orders now implemented in the gameplay they calculate optimum routes for star system-wide explorations, providing navigation coordinates for the [[Helm]] in sequence. Once in position, the sensors station then carries out the necessary short range scanning operation before moving on to the next object, etc. A Comms NPC Officer can currently be spawned at the Comms Station, although their role awaits implementation in future updates. On C Deck itself a decent number of NPCs are routinely enabled at game start who populate the rooms and corridors, but as yet carry on no operational tasks. They do, however, allow testing and monitoring of game system processing resources.

	The ~~chief scientific officer on~~ the ~~ship and~~ department ~~head~~.
