This page is a Work in Progress as much of the lore/Development for the game is yet to be established.
The operations/deck department handles all aspects of piloting, navigation and shuttle operations. Operations crew members wear brown clothing.
Overview
Operations department carries out most piloting duties aboard a starship. Their personnel pilot the starship and navigate obstacles. They are currently not based in a specific area of the ship, although will probably have duties in the Shuttle Bay and Bridge in future updates.
Currently, pilots from the operations department have access to the Helm. The station allows them control over the FTL Drive and use RCS Thrusters to steer the direction of travel. Helm operators can set the navigation targets for the ship, either setting coordinates manually, or using those selected by Sensors Station and Holo-Display. They also can control bridge target indicators and use the Autopilot to control these automatically.
Roles

The Deck Chief role manages the department from the Deck Crew Office, assigns tasks to operations personnel and leads the main duty shift. In the UNSF, the role is assigned to a Lieutenant Commander.
Second Chief
The Second Chief role, as second in command manages a shift in place of the Deck Chief and fulfils those duties if the Chief is unavailable. In the UNSF, the role is assigned to a Lieutenant.
Third Chief
The third-in-command of the operations department manages a shift that neither the Deck Chief nor Second Chief can run. In the UNSF, the role is assigned to an Ensign.
