[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] This has always bugged and confused me a lot, especially in TOS and the movies. Are there any conclusive rules as to who did what on the TOS bridge? Who was in charge of security? And who was in charge of the ship's weapons? And did this change in the movies? Let's just make a list of relevant officers.. [b][i]Enterprise[/i] (NX-01)[/b] [list] [*][b]Armory Officer[/b]: Handles ships's weapons and is chief of security. [*][b]Helm Officer[/b]: Handles helm and navigation. [/list] There is no bridge-level Operations Manager, unless it's combined with one of the other positions (most likely candidates are the Captain or the XO (T'Pol)). Reed is also referred to as "[b]Tactical Officer[/b]", most likely a synonym for AO, or perhaps a different role, with Reed being both AO and TO. ENT's system is pretty clear-cut. [b]USS [i]Enterprise[/i] (NCC-1701(-A))[/b] [list] [*][b]Helm Officer[/b]: Doubles as Security Chief. Also as tactical officer? [*][b]Navigator[/b]: I believe even navigators sounded Battle Stations and fired weapons? [/list] Similarly, no indentifiable Operations Manager. The Science Officer is the XO, although in "The Cage", the Navigator was the XO. The big question is: who did what in the Movies? What was Chekov's position? And what about Saavik, Sulu and Valeris? [b]USS [i]Enterprise[/i] (NCC-1701-D)[/b] [list] [*][b]Tactical officer/Security chief[/b]: A combined post on the Ent-D. [*][b]Flight Controller[/b]: Helm and navigation, like the NX-01 Helm Officer [*][b]Operations Manager[/b]: Some sort of accountant. Seems to be the de facto Science Officer. [/list] The [i]Voyager[/i] seems to follow the Ent-D's system pretty closely. I'll let DS9 be, because a partly civilian starbase is not comparable to an all-Starfleet starship. [/QB][/QUOTE]
