Like the fictional Starfleet - SFC's Units are supported by a HQ staff who are an essential part of the Star Trek image. These departments produce activities, exams and projects related to their speciality. As a member of SFC, you join the department that suits your interests, and you're encouraged to take part in activities related to that department, as well as submit your own ideas.



Dealing with the technology and related subjects within Star Trek from Stations and Starships down to Isolinear chips and PADDS, Fleet Engineering aims to teach you how and why things work in the Star Trek universe and what they do. Fleet Engineering also maintains the roster of Fleet Unit Types and supervises the Cochrane Fleet Yards, home of Starfleet Command's very own 'Skunk Works'.  Engineering frequently attracts members who are 'builders and makers' in real life and often use their skills for the benefit of their Units.  

 

Shipboard security, tactical operations or space combat - the more martial aspects of life in Starfleet are mainly the responsibility of the Security Department.  Security Officers are familiar with the weapons, tactics and  threats of the Star Trek universe.  In addition to the fantasy aspects of the Department, Security crew often perform stewarding duties at events and club meetings. Military qualifications are not required, but many SFC Security Officers have actually come from service backgrounds.

  Combining the disciplines of Medical and Science, the Life Science Division goes beyond the usual remit of either Division towards a synergy of both :

MEDICAL DIVISION

Caring for the many lifeforms that make up the United Federation of Planets, Starfleet Medical  often finds itself dealing with creatures and organisms beyond our experience.  More than just knowing which end to hold a hypospray, it encompasses knowledge of the many and varied lifeforms in Star Trek, their anatomy and the medicine of the future.   In the past, Medical Officers with real qualifications have doubled as First Aid Providers for their Units, but we don't insist you're a practising medic!
  SCIENCE DIVISION

Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Astronomy are just some of the scientific disciplines that keep Starfleet operating on a daily basis under the aegis of the Fleet Science Department. From pure Research at Jupiter Station to field work aboard Starships across the galaxy, Science Officers are a ubiquitous part of the Fleet and make a recognisable contribution. Through Fleet Science, you can learn some of the 'real' science behind Star Trek along with the 'meta'-science presented in the show.
