AmbassadorialAmbassadors are responsible for maintaining diplomatic status between two races. They represent their particular race at the place they are stationed, and attempt to look out for its interests where they are stationed.
CivilianCivilians are not members of Starfleet. They run bars, shops, and other places that are not operated by Starfleet personal or they are just people living on the station/ship.
CounsellingCounsellors act as general overseers of the crew's mental well- being. They give advice and guidance for personal problems that crew members may have. If necessary, they can provide psychiatric and psychological treatment and care. Counsellors can also refer clients to other medical personnel for more conventional treatments. They work closely with the Chief Medical Officer.
EngineeringEngineering personnel provide the necessary repair and upkeep of equipment aboard ship. It is suggested that prospective Engineers select one (or more) Engineering skills to specialize in.
Note that Starfleet Engineers, at first, are primarily concerned with the various electronics systems throughout the ship. This is due to the Federation's heavy use of electronic equipment for almost every function. The only non electronic equipment aboard most ships are the Warp drives and Impulse engines. However, Engineers can specialize in any Engineering or Mechanic field, because Starfleet encourages research and development of newer and better systems.
Fighter PilotsFighter Pilots fly Starfleet's growing fleets of fighter craft in dog fights with enemy ships. These heavily armed fighter craft contain powerful impulse engines, heavy armour and powerful phasers. Some carry micro or full size photon torpedoes. The fighter pilots are highly trained in combat manoeuvres, and operate from a fighter carrier or starbase.
HelmHelm and Navigation personnel provide the ship with pilots and co-pilots. They also provide the ship with experienced Shuttlecraft and Runabout pilots and co-pilots. They are responsible for plotting courses, and preventing collisions with other space borne ships and debris.
MarineStarfleet Marines are exceptionally well trained and capable, even by Starfleet standards. They are meant to operate primarily on planetary surfaces, both land and water, but are also trained to participate in space based operations as well. Their skills reflect the fact that they frequently have to operate in a long-range reconnaissance fashion, often with little or no support from Starfleet.
Unlike Naval personnel, Starfleet Marines must meet exacting physical criteria. They are particularly expected to display above average intelligence along with exceptional endurance and co-ordination.
MedicalChief Medical Officers of Starships have the responsibility of overseeing the health of the entire crew. Regular physicals are required annually, and officers who refuse the exams are reported to the Captain or First Officer and may be relieved of duty. A crew member may also be removed from duty if their physical or psychological condition warrant it in the opinion of the ship's CMO or Counsellor. CMO's are also tasked with overseeing the ship's stores of medical supplies, and choose which to employ as standard. Some CMO's also have strong talents as researchers, and this is encouraged in Starfleet as long as primary duties are met, and all research follows recommended procedures.
OperationsOperations officers provide an interface between the day-to-day normal activities of the crew on board ship and the command personnel. Operations personnel study a program designed to give them a working knowledge of all other divisions in Starfleet.
ScienceScience personnel provide the investigative research for ships and transmit that information back to Starfleet Command. Science personnel are also useful on landing parties and at Starbases.
SecuritySecurity forces provide basic police duties on ship, as well as protective duties to landing parties. Some Security personnel will take additional training as Starfleet Marines.
