The command department is responsible for the overall management and operation of the ship, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the vessel and its crew. On starships, it is primarily composed of the Captain/Commanding Officer (CO) and the Executive Officer (XO). Command staff currently wear white and yellow clothing.
Overview
Command staff are considered the top level in the starship's hierarchy of roles. Their duties involve completing missions for their organisation, and maintaining both the safety of their ship and their crew. Command staff are primarily based on A Deck, usually the Bridge, Captain's office and Executive Officer's office.
On the bridge, command staff take position at the Command Chairs, through which they can alter the ship's alert state. Command staff can lay in courses through the Holo-Display, which they can use to decide where the ship will travel and send objects upon which officers can perform duties. The command staff have access to commands, with which they can tell officers what they wish for them to do. For example, the captain can command an officer stationed at the Sensors Station to perform a survey on targeted objects or increase the display range for the Holo-Display.
