Science Handbook
Created by Captain Aidan Rackham on Wed Apr 15th, 2015 @ 12:55pm
Without science the Federation wouldn't have the means to back up their pioneering spirit. The great unknown, the massive leaps in medicine, technology and culture would be completely lost without the sharp minds parsing the information into usable bits to be brought home and recreated.
Onboard ship science has its hands in every department, supplying them with key information, research and findings. They are interpreters and guesstimators whose words could end the lives of all those surrounding them if they guess wrong. Dealing much in the realm of the unknown and hypotheticals, they are the magicians that make concrete reality out of a few base tries and some litmus paper.
General Duties
Advise all departments of technology and practices as they evolve
General survey of landing parties and probe information

Cataloguing and maintaining databanks of new life forms, planets, phenomena, substances, etc.
Working with engineering to implement new or alien technology
Assisting security with forensics
Translate sensor readings from the obscure to something resembling sense
