Departments
The ship's Departments are specialized sections of the area, responsible for the upkeep of the ship and its crew in their own respective ways. For example, Engineering fixes things, Security handles crimes and processing, and Command is there to regulate everything and supervise the crew. Each department is headed by a department Officer, with the exception of Command and Service, which are headed by the Captain and First Officer, respectively.
Department members have their own specialized training and education, and as a result usually are not supposed to perform tasks that fall outside their department's discipline, such as a doctor starting the reactor.
