The '''HCO Officer''' is an abbreviation for Helm/Comm/Ops, this is one of the most important members of a ship. The HCO officer, as the name suggests, will be trained in three fields of operation, firstly the Helm, which is flying the ship. Secondly the comm, which is communications. And lastly, Ops, which is Operations. You only have to look at the characters in the shows to realize just how important the HCO officers are. You can follow such great examples as, [[ma:Hikaru Sulu|Hikaru Sulu]] and [[ma:Uhura|Uhura]] from the [[ma:TOS|original series]], [[ma:Wesley Crusher|Wesley Crusher]], [[ma:Data|Data]] and Lieutenant [[ma:Hawk (Lieutenant)|Hawk]] from the [[ma:TNG|TNG]] series and movies, [[ma:Tom Paris|Tom Paris]] and [[ma:Harry Kim|Harry Kim]] from [[ma:VOY|Voyager]], [[ma:Miles O'Brien|O'Brien]], [[ma:Jadzia Dax|Jadzia Dax]] and [[ma:Nog|Nog]] while on the [[ma:USS Defiant|USS Defiant]] from [[ma:DS9|DS9]], and let us not forget [[ma:Travis Mayweather|Travis Mayweather]] and [[ma:Hoshi Sato|Hoshi Sato]] from [[ma:ENT|Enterprise]]. | The '''HCO Officer''' is an abbreviation for Helm/Comm/Ops, this is one of the most important members of a ship.
