[WARFARE] Daily Operational Guide for Warfare & Engineering

[Valkrae]

Warfare is a department of vital important to the continued survival and operation of any vessel. It is responsible for monitoring and distributing power to the many sub-stations of the vessel, as well as operating the 'Aegis', 'Durandel' and 'Eclipse' arrays. A Warfare specialist is always on-duty, monitoring the ambient radiation around the ship, looking for anything that might cause the vessel harm. Warfare consists of both Engineering and 'Warfare' itself, however both of these require independent operators under certain conditions.

DAILY DUTIES FOR WARFARE

A Warfare specialist will have a variety of duties throughout the day that will occupy their time. These duties are, again, of vital importance. The 'Aegis' Self-Defence Scanner System is the system that Warfare operatives will be using most, as it is almost always active and detecting for any anomalies in the background radiation in the area around the vessel. It requires no manual operation to function normally, however, an operative must always be present in order to monitor for any anomalous readings. If an anomalous reading is detected, the reading is reported to the Bridge Crew present,. Bear in mind, that focusing the 'Aegis' will render the area not being scanned as a 'dark zone' and will be essentially blank. 
 

BATTLE CONDITIONS:

It is inevitable that your vessel will come under assault, or crisis a great many times during your time of service. However, with preparation, a calm head, and skill, any situation can be dealt with, using protocol, following orders, and ingenuity. However, in order to make things a tad simple, here are the duties of Warfare operatives under the various Battle Conditions of the Fleet.

Condition Four

A single Operative will be present, monitoring both the Warfare and Engineering systems. Due to the nature of being in friendly space, they will likely be one of two members on the Bridge, apart of the 'skeleton crew' needed to operate the vessel in friendly space. Duties will include monitoring the 'Aegis' system for any anomalies, and reporting findings to the Officer currently in charge of the Bridge.

Condition Three

A single Operative will be present, monitoring both the Warfare and Engineering systems. This is the standard operational condition of the Fleet, and where most of the operatives time will spent. A majority of time will be spent, staring at empty space, but one must remain vigilant. Threats can emerge from the blackness of space at a moments notice. At Condition Three, a Warfare Operative is the vessels first line of defense against any threat to the vessel.  Duties will include monitoring the 'Aegis' system, and reporting findings to the Officer currently in charge of the Bridge.

 

Condition Two
The calm before the storm. A threat has been detected to the vessel, and all crew are to be in their designated position. Two Operatives will be present, one monitoring the Warfare system, and one monitoring the Engineering system. The duties of the Warfare system are to monitor the 'Aegis' system, and to direct either it or the 'Durandel' at any target dictated by the Officer in charge of the Bridge. Operatives are to be extremely vigilant, and to report ANY anomalous readings to the OiC. Keep in mind, that activating the 'Durandel' will mark the vessel, as if planting a big target on it. The 'Durandel' is not advised for moments where the vessel should need to be stealthy, or otherwise remain undetected.

 

Condition One
The storm, the hellfire, the fury of battle. This is where a Warfare Operatives creativity and ingenuity will shine through. At Condition One, there is an active threat to the vessel, and all stations are alert and manned. Two Operatives will be present, one at Warfare, and one at Engineering.  The Warfare Operative will be acting as ordered by the OiC, however, in the event that free-reign is given to the Operative, there are a variety of things that the subsystems of Warfare can do. 


DAILY DUTIES FOR ENGINEERING

While not as glorious, or flashy as the Weapons or Warfare systems, the Engineering department holds a very vital importance to the continued safe operation of any vessel. It is responsible for monitoring and operating the power output and distribution of the various sub-systems of the station. This includes moving power to certain systems in order to increase their output, or transferring power out of less vital systems. This also includes monitoring for any anomalous fluctuations in the internal power-grid of the vessel. Without a capable Engineering operative, ships will not be able to get power where it is needed at a moments notice, transfer too much power to one station and cause an overload, or siphon power away from vital systems and leave the vessel vulnerable. It is the backbone of any vessel, and the operatives who work in this department must be precise, and efficient.

 

Condition Four

A single Operative will be present, monitoring both the Warfare and Engineering systems. The Engineering side of operations will be to monitor the ships power flow, ensuring that the vessel is safe to continue operating in a normal capacity. 

 

 

Condition Three

A single Operative will be present, monitoring both the Warfare and Engineering systems. The Engineering side of operations will be to monitor the ships power flow, ensuring that the vessel is safe to continue operating in a normal capacity. The Operative must be ready to quickly transfer power to vital systems in a crisis.
 

Condition Two
A Warfare Operative will be present at both stations. The Engineering station will be responsible for monitoring the power flow of the vessel, as well as transferring power to any station or system as ordered by the OiC. 

 

Condition One
A Warfare Operative will be present at both stations. The Engineering station will be responsible for monitoring the power flow of the vessel, as well as transferring power to any station or system as ordered by the OiC. They will also be responsible for making sure that, in the event of any damage sustained, Mobile Infantry Engineering teams are dispatched to assess and repair it.
