Department head

Department Heads are assigned to their position by the ship's Commanding Officer for showing a history of excellent playing and the ability to lead others in their department and to keep the players involved in the main plotline, and various subplots. Department Heads are the first line in crew issues and resolving any problems or concerns. The Department Heads should work closely with the First Officer to keep the ship running smoothly and to ensure that all players are keeping involved and not being left out of the story.

Department Heads are the First Officer's eyes and ears to each department. If you have a player that has disappeared, or has nothing to do, contact your FO. You can also be proactive and email any people in your department that had dropped off, or you see being left out. Department Heads should utilize the players in their section, rather than relying on NPC's or doing everything themselves.

Department Heads are responsible for sending their point recommendations to the First Officer by the 21st of every month. Department Heads help to run subplots regarding their department and to make sure that everyone under their command is involved. Department Heads are an integral part of the ship's operation. The duties of the Department Head include welcoming the new players to the ship in post and to email anyone in their department that has stopped posting. If a CO or FO notices a player has gone missing, the Department Head is usually their first stop in finding out why.
