Constitution Deck Layout/Engineering Systems Programming Office

The USS Constitution-B Engineering Systems Programming Office (ESPO) is a standard engineering division on larger starships. In the case of Galaxy-class starships like the Constitution it is located on Deck 22.

	Constitution ESPO

Located in the stern of the Constitution, wedged between Engineering Support and the Upper Main Impulse Engine's systems is the obscure Engineering Systems Programming Office. The ESPO is a support division of engineering that focuses exclusively on computational systems aboard the Constitution.

Officers assigned to the ESPO are responsible for building, installing and maintaining most computer systems on the starship. While any engineer with the skill often works on computer systems, the ESPO is the office this work goes through, and has a dedicated team to deal with computer requisitions and maintenance requests.

While officers assigned to ESPO are expected to have a broad range of engineering skill and still take part in other operations and duties, the office is an excellent opportunity for low-ranking engineers with computer skills to establish themselves as valuable members of the crew before moving into other divisions.

	Layout and Duties

The ESPO is arrayed around a main computer bank where engineers can access diagnostics on the shipboard computer cores and facilities.

There are two sections of computer console workstations for various tasks. Tasks often assigned to ESPO include, but are not limited to:

• technical support for Starfleet and civilian computer systems aboard the Constitution
• develop software for other divisions as need arises (ie. analysis programs for science, simulations for command, etc.)
• coordinate with engineering teams to build, repair and maintain shipboard hardware
• holodeck support and troubleshooting
• data analysis and encryption/decryption
