Navigation Responsibilities

Navigation (or CONN) encompasses piloting and plotting courses for both the primary starship and any shuttles assigned to the craft. The general fitness of flight capability of these ships is also their responsibility.

This includes:
- Maintaining auxiliary craft in a ready state.
- Maintaining supplies necessary for the operation of the crafts.
- Maintaining all shuttle bays in which the craft are kept, as well as the Cerberus module systems

Crewmembers in Navigation are to be kept up to date on piloting all flight capable craft on the starship they are assigned to. Knowing the capabilities of each so that they can advise about possible problems to the command staff for missions. They should also know how to use all systems aboard (including weapons, transporters, etc.) that may be necessary while piloting a stock craft. They should also be prepared to train others in the use of auxiliary craft to certify them as pilots when needed.

While not expected to be Engineers or Operations officers, basic repair skills are expected to be known. Mainly emergency repairs to get a ship flight capable if damage happens during a mission so that the mission can be completed.

If damage has been inflicted beyond emergency repair capability, it is the CONN crewman’s responsibility to liaise with either Operations or Engineering (depending on the repair necessary) to get the repair completed.

Navigation crewmembers are expected to study star charts to know possible flight risks along a given course as well as work with astrometrics in analyzing new star charts to identify any risks. While possible for unknown phenomenon to happen, it is the Flight Control’s job to minimize any possible risks to the ship or craft on the ship.

Navigation also continues further training of their piloting staff in piloting skills, works to handle refueling procedures of non fighter type auxiliary craft as necessary, standard craft maintenance and repair, oversight of Command and Control Operations of all Non Fighter type Auxiliary craft, Flight Carrier support services (Such as supply sorties and evacuations, equipment and vehicle deployments, etc.), securing and storing all auxiliary craft throughout the ship (Non Fighter type), and maintenance and load out changes for the Cerberus system.
