Changes: Communications officer

Revision as of 20:29, 9 April 2015

The role of communications officer (also known as comm officer) was a specialized occupation held by crewmembers aboard Starfleet vessels, installations and bases. Found across multiple divisions, the individuals holding the position were held responsible for managing all incoming and outgoing transmissions, whether they be visual, audio or text communications. During the 22nd and 23rd centuries, comm officers were often separately held positions on a starship's bridge while the mid-to-late-24th century frequently saw tactical and operations officers doubling as a communications officer. ^{(citation needed • edit)}

-'''[[Communications]] officer''' was a [[specialist|special]] [[crew]]member found aboard both [[Earth]] and [[Federation]] [[Starfleet]] [[starship|ships]] and [[space station]]s. The comm [[officer]] was responsible for managing all incoming and outgoing transmissions.
-The position was unique in that it could be being manned by officers from all three major devisions of starship personal, progressing from science in the [[22nd century]] to command and later to operations in [[23rd century]].
-Starships of the mid to late [[24th century]] did not have a [[bridge]] position of [[communications]] officer, although the post continued to exist. On the bridge of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}}, the [[tactical officer]] doubled as communications officer, as did occasionally the [[operations officer]]. The {{USS|Voyager}}'s bridge also had a similar division of responsibility.
