Medical
This page is a Work in Progress as much of the lore/Development for the game is yet to be established.
The medical department is responsible for the health and wellbeing of crew members aboard a ship or station. They provide a range of medical services in a variety of fields, including diagnosing and treatment of injuries, diseases and health conditions. Medical crew members wear green clothing and work out of the ship's sickbay.

Members of the department who are fully trained in surgery, surgeons will treat injured crew members where required and coordinate the shift in the absence of of the Chief Medical Officer. The role is often assigned to a Lieutenant or Ensign.

Development
In early stages of development the department would have featured medics in place of nurses. These would have specialised in various fields of medical care, very similar to both the surgeon and nurse roles.
