On board ship, the captain is assisted by a first officer who, in many cases, is a captain in training. Under normal circumstances the first officer is responsible for performing crew reviews and determining assignments, but he or she must be ready and willing to take command of the ship if the captain is missing or disabled. | On board ship, the captain is assisted by a first officer who, in many cases, is a captain in training.

{{Heading|What is it like to be a Starfleet officer?|#6699cc}} | |||
To be a Starfleet officer is to be devoted to the ideals of peaceful exploration, scientific pursuit, and the betterment of self. It is a life of standing between those who cannot fight for themselves and those who seek to tyrannize them. | |||
Throughout Federation space, members of Starfleet are known as well-rounded, knowledgeable about their duties and other cultures, and dedicated to truth, fairness, and equality. | |||
Many Starfleet officers, especially the one you'll be playing and the ones you'll be interacting with, serve on a starship or a starbase. For those officers, their duty post is central to their day-to-day experience on the ship. An engineering officer, for example, will report to his or her station on the ship – usually Main Engineering – for an assignment or to assess what needs to be done. Then, the officer will coordinate with others to ensure that the daily tasks are completed. If an emergency arises, the officer would assist others to triage the most important problems to ensure that the ship is able to maintain the safety of its occupants. | |||
During and after work hours, this Starfleet officer might enjoy lunch in the crew lounge, or in their quarters. Replicators are standard on almost all Starfleet vessels. Later, the officer might lounge on the holodeck alone, or with friends, before retiring to their quarters in the evening. | |||
