Star Trek: Tenjin
As most of the Department Head roles have been taken, we are now open to taking lower-ranked officers and enlisted Starfleet members. You can choose under whose command you would be directly under and also act as a sort of backup in the event a Department Head PC has to leave the game or needs to take a break.
Science Officer -- Lt.Cmdr. Dominique Sheperd
--Can be Lieutenant, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Ensign, or any enlisted rank.
--Duties Include: Each science officer has their own area of expertise. No two are exactly the same. All have a level of training in the physical sciences and a high level of education and are vital in addressing environmental problems, aiding in contact with new species, etc; Also, as each has their area of expertise, many know far more about the theory and practice of a specific field. A warp theorist, for example, could help engineering with the warp coils or a cartographer would be able to help with astrometrics.
