Atlantis Crew Guidelines
Overview
Atlantis has a crew of 150 (56 officers and 94 enlisted). Civilians are not normally carried unless approved by the commanding officer.
Officers
The 56 officers aboard the Atlantis represent roughly a third of the ship's total complement. To become an officer, these individuals have either graduated Starfleet Academy or earned their commission through the Officer Candidate School after having attained their education in their field elsewhere.
Officers assume leadership roles within their departments and are responsible for training and supervising both junior officers and the enlisted personnel under their command.
- See also: Starfleet Rank Index: Officer for more information about officers and officer ranks.
Enlisted
The 94 enlisted personnel aboard Atlantis make up the majority of the ship's crew and are distributed across the ship's departments in various technical specialties and duty posts distinct from officers. For instance, medics and lab technicians are enlisted personnel whereas physicians, nurses, and scientists are commissioned officers (see officer duty posts above). All enlisted personnel are eligible for NPC/PNPC play.

Non-Starfleet personnel, Civilians, and Guests
Atlantis offers modest short-term guest accommodations.
Non-Starfleet personnel such as those from other Federation agencies (Federation Security, Federation Diplomatic Corps, etc.) are occasionally attached to the ship on special assignments.
Civilians are not normally carried aboard unless approved by the commanding officer as space and amenities are limited.

- Red: Command Division - CO, XO, Diplomacy, Helm (Flight Control), Administrative duties
