I'm not sure where to put this thread, maybe Designs and Creativity? But this is not a starship design, etc. but a discussion on the hierarchical relationships of Starfleet departments, offices and agencies.
This is a Flow Chart Diagram to illustrate a plausible picture of how Starfleet is organised:
It isn't entirely finished, it's an Alpha version for now, and I haven't put all the departments in little boxes yet... The image comes from this page on The Federation:
The idea was inspired by Lance Nutter (www.thetrkker.org) who had entered into a similar endeavour.
A lot of this is speculative, obviously, as there are gaps and uncertainties, which I've attempted to fill in by studying traditional Naval department relationships. I've also included all the known/established departments that I personally know of, some may sound obscure like the Starfleet Regulatory Agency, but they for example exist - they're health and safety people and are mentioned in the TNG Tech Manual, and there are other such examples in the chart besides...
Thoughts...?
