Diplomacy

Diplomacy

The Diplomatic Department is responsible for being the face of Starfleet and the Federation. They mediate all treaties, contracts, and trade agreements. They are responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with other goverments and races. All Diplomatic Officers must be familiar with a variety of areas: history, politics, economics, and military, and understand how they affect potential threats. A wide range of operations can occur in response to these areas and threats. These operations occur within three general states of being: peacetime competition, conflict and war. They must be equally flexible and demonstrate initiative, agility, depth, synchronization, and improvisation to provide responsive legal services to their CO as well as diplomatic advise on current status of an Alien Species both aligned and non aligned to the Federation.

The Chief Diplomatic Officer oversees the operation of the Diplomatic Department, as well as makes sure everything in that department is carried out according to Starfleet Regulations.

The Assistant Chief Diplomatic Officer is the second-in-command of the Diplomatic Department. If necessary, they can take the place of the Chief Diplomatic Officer on a temporary or permanent basis. They are also responsible for assisting the Chief Diplomatic Officer in their duties.

The Diplomate's Aide assists the Chief Diplomatic Officer whenever and however needed. The Aide is an enlisted officer who has training in the diplomatic field, and can do the job of a regular diplomatic officer if needed.
