Helm/Com/Ops (Duty Post): Difference between revisions

The HCO position, as we know it now, is a creation of our specific roleplaying organization which often found its way into other groups across the internet. As we often felt that a specific Helm, Communications, or Operations officer wouldn't have much to sim about in their own capacity, we simply combined the three positions together for roleplaying purposes. The USS ''Defiant'' on ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'' then introduced a combined helm and operations station on its bridge, cementing the position as alpha canon.

In recent history, the HCO position has again been broken up on many vessels to allow for a Helm officer in addition to a combined Communications and Operations officer. While we cannot address every combination of these roles across our fleet, officers who fall into any one of these three positions (or, into the HCO position itself), will find the information found here useful to their specific duty post.
