###  Stellar Cartography

**Location:** One stellar cartography bay is located on deck 14, with direct EPS power feed from engineering. All information is directed to the bridge and can be displayed on any console or the main viewscreen.

###  Science Labs

**Location:** There are Fifteen science labs on an *Resolute*-class starship; five labs are on deck 7 - adjacent to Sickbay, 5 labs are on deck 8, and 5 multifunction labs on deck 16. The 5 labs on deck 5 are bio-chem-physics labs that can also be reconfigured for Medical labs and used primary by the Medical staff. The 5 labs on deck 7 are a mixed batch; two are bio-chem-physics, two are XT (extra-terrestrial) analysis labs, and one eugenics lab. The final 5 on deck 16 are multi-functional labs that can be equipped for various experiments.

###  Flight Deck Operations

Operations aboard an *Resolute*-class starship fall under one of three categories: flight operations, primary mission operations, and secondary mission operations.

**Flight Operations:** All operations that relate directly to the function of the starship itself, which include power generation, starship upkeep, environmental systems, and any other system that is maintained and used to keep the vessel spaceworthy.

**Primary Mission Operations:** All tasks assigned and directed from the Main Bridge, and typically require full control and discretion over ship navigation and ship's resources.

**Secondary Mission Operations:** Those operations that are not under the direct control of the Main Bridge, but do not impact Primary Mission Operations. Some examples of secondary mission operations include long-range cultural, diplomatic or scientific programs run by independent or semi-autonomous groups aboard the starship.

###  Mission Types

Despite the fact that the *Resolute*-class design philosophy leaned heavily toward Exploration and Diplomatic Missions, she is still classified as a multi-role Starship, in keeping with Federation Council Policy. This offers the Federation, and Starfleet, flexibility in assigning nearly any objective within the realm of Starfleet's assigned duties.

* Tactical/Defensive Operations
* Emergency/Search and Rescue
* Federation Policy and Diplomacy
* Contact with Alien Lifeforms
* Ongoing Scientific Investigation

###  Operating Modes

The normal flight and mission operations of the *Resolute*-class starship are conducted in accordance with a variety of Starfleet standard operating rules, determined by the current operational state of the starship. These operational states are determined by the Commanding Officer, although in certain specific cases, the Computer can automatically adjust to a higher alert status.

**Cruise Mode:** The normal operating condition of the ship.

**Yellow Alert:** Designates a ship wide state of increased preparedness for possible crisis situations.

**Red Alert:** Designates an actual state of emergency in which the ship or crew is endangered, immediately impending emergencies, or combat situations.

**External Support Mode:** State of reduced activity that exists when a ship is docked at a starbase or other support facility.

**Reduced Power Mode:** This protocol is invoked in case of a major failure in spacecraft power generation, in case of critical fuel shortage, or in the event that a tactical situation requires severe curtailment of onboard power generation.

**Blue Alert:** Condition set for environmental hazards to the crew, main power failure, docking and separation maneuvers, and landing protocols.

###  Duty Shifts

During Cruise Mode, the ship’s operations are run on three, 8-hour shifts designated Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Should a crisis develop, it may revert to a four-shift system of six hours to keep crew fatigue down. Typical Shift command is as follows:

**Alpha:** Captain (CO)

**Bravo:** Executive Officer (XO)

**Charlie:** Second Officer / Night Conn
