Overview

Starfleet Search & Rescue is a sub-organisation of Starfleet that combines all active branches of the service, including marines. The organisation is managed through a number of autonomous operations centres, usually referred to as SAR Ops.

The various SAR Ops centres direct all search and rescue operations for their designated sector. For example, Starbase 94 SAR Ops coordinates missions for their area of space, while Deep Space 9 SAR Ops would coordinate for their area.

While there is no designated SAR starship, SAR Ops does have the ability to requisition Starfleet vessels and their crews to carry out their operations. In cases where a vessel has been temporarily assigned to a SAR Ops centre, a ranking member of that Ops centre is generally assigned to the vessel as a mission specilist to assist in the coordination of the mission. Frequently an entire SAR Team will also be assigned. All SAR Ops centres have various small craft at their disposal, such as runabouts, Mauls and Flamingoes, to assist in missions.

SAR Team Composition

SAR Teams do not generally have a standing roster -- meaning that it is very rare that an officer's sole responsibility would be to a SAR Team. Officers who serve on SAR Teams also have a primary responsibility, be it as an engineer on a starship, a doctor on a starbase, a pilot with a marine corps fighter wing. They are essentially on a stand-by roster and called the SAR Team duty as required.
