You’re welcome to create whatever PNPCs you need to sim better, within reason. Generally, your ship will keep a record on a wiki page of all the ship’s PNPCs, so talk to your First Officer or Captain for more information about how to keep track of yours and others’.

PNPCs are not part of the normal promotion process, and are only promoted if you want to promote that character. PNPCs can only have a rank that’s as high as your own. So, if you’re a Lieutenant, you can create PNPCs who are Ensigns, Lieutenant JG, or Lieutenant. They can also be any [[Starfleet_Rank_Index|warrant officer or enlisted rank]].

For administrative purposes, we don't make a distinction between you primary and secondary character -- you can consider either character as your primary. But if you decide you want to put either character on hold and sim just with one character, you'll need to notify your commanding officer immediately.


Primary characters and secondary characters are both player characters (PCs).
