Guide:Starbase Bravo Positions

The purpose of this guide is to show you how positions work on Starbase Bravo, including which tiers gain access to which positions and then how those positions fit into the chain of command.

Overall Station Structure

Overall command of the station is in the hands of the station's commanding officer, as that title might suggest. They are assisted by the executive officer, who is in turn over the division chiefs, who oversee departments, who oversee sections, all the way down to entry-level roles.

Command Division

Starbase Bravo's commanding officer is currently Rear Admiral Thomas Belvedere, dual-hatted as the sector commander for the Mellstoxx Sector, overseeing all general Starfleet operations in the sector not tied directly to the Fourth Fleet. He is assisted by Captain [BLANK], the Executive Officer. While Starbase Bravo hosts the Fourth Fleet's senior command staff, they do not generally interfere directly in station operations except in times of immediate crisis requiring the response of the fleet itself.

Station Control Department

The Station Control Department is responsible for direct control over the station's position and docking procedures.

Watch Section

The Watch Section consists of all of the stations Officers of the Watch. One of these officers is always on duty in Station Operations and in each of the Spacedock Control Centers.

Flight Control Section

The Flight Control Section is responsible both for guiding starships into their berths and small craft launch and recovery procedures, as well as for piloting the station's assigned small craft.

Communications Section

The Communications Section is responsible for short and long range communications, ranging from maintaining contact with ships in the Mellstoxx system to the maintenance and operation of the station's massive subspace transceiver complex, which serves as a major hub for the subspace relay network.

Strategic Operations Division

The Strategic Operations Division is responsible for the external defense of Starbase Bravo and coordinating between the assets assigned to the sector that are not directly part of the Fourth Fleet.

Security Division

The Security Division is responsible for the internal security of Starbase Bravo, which normally means law enforcement on the promenade and other areas. It is divided into 10 Security Precincts, which serve the same role as Departments in the other divisions.

Engineering Division

The Engineering Division is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the station's systems, especially the main reactor, as well as for building and repairing starships.

Science Division

The Science Division encompasses the thousands of scientists assigned to Starbase Bravo, across multiple departments and sections.
