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.

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. | |||
In a typical day, a Starfleet officer may be manning their duty station, participate in an away mission, make first contact with another culture, lounging on the holodeck with friends, or attending a conference with their peers to increase their skillset. | |||
