Science officers use their knowledge to support their ship and crew, weakening or incapacitating enemies, creating energy fields that hinder or damage foes and treating the wounds of their fellow officers. Vulcans are always prepared to consider the needs of the many over the needs of the few.
Tactical officers use stealth and squad tactics, while having the most options to improve their damage in combat. In battle, tactical officers can draw enemy fire to help their team or beam down a security squad to take out a difficult foe. Andoria is one of the four founding worlds of the Federation.
A cold-blooded, reptilian species, Gorn are many times stronger than humans and have sharp claws on their hands and feet. They are territorial and stubborn, and have racial memories that go back hundreds of years. The Gorn rule a large region in the Alpha Quadrant, and have an uneasy peace with the Federation.
After years of study and training at Starfleet Academy, young officers often join the crews of starships to seek out new life and new civilizations. Exploration, diplomacy, research and defense are but a few of the duties Starfleet officers can tackle in their careers as representatives of the United Federation of Planets.
Romulans hail from one of the strongest empires in the galaxy. Unlike their Vulcan “cousins,” the Romulans are a proud, passionate and militaristic people. The cloaking device on their starships allows them to strike without warning, often giving them a tactical edge in battle.
The greatest strength of a science officer is her versatility, even when behind enemy lines. Romulan Republic operatives are infiltrating the Tal Shiar to learn more about their secrets and how best to defeat them.
Exemplary service and glory in battle is not the only way to advance in the Klingon Defense Force. If a warrior thinks his captain has acted dishonorably, he can challenge him to single combat. The victor takes command... and the loser dies in disgrace.
Remans were used as slaves and shock troops by the Romulans until the late 24th century, when a group of Remans led by the human clone Shinzon assassinated the Romulan senate and captured the government in a military coup. Remans are now part of the Romulan Republic.
The pheromones of female Orions make males of many species susceptible to suggestion. While many Orions are smugglers and raiders who plunder unwary ships for the Orion Syndicate, others have chosen the path of honor and serve the Klingon Defense Force.
Science officers use their knowledge to support their ship and crew, weakening or incapacitating enemies, creating energy fields that hinder or damage foes and treating the wounds of their fellow officers. They are sometimes seen wearing a breathing apparatus in oxygen/nitrogen atmospheres.

Command a Federation Starship, Klingon Bird-of-Prey or Romulan Warbird! You are the captain, and you make the decisions.
Outfit your ship with the equipment you need and customize it as you see fit. Recruit, train and mold your crew into an elite force for exploration and combat. Call on your bridge officers to help you in battle, reroute power to shield or weapons and line up your enemy for a devastating broadside or focused cannon barrage.
Explore dozens of strange new worlds. Beam down to planets with your bridge officers or friends for face-to-face confrontations with the enemy. Or team up for elite excursions that only the most skilled of captains can complete. Engage Shooter Mode for directed targeting, or flank your enemy to do more damage. Missions in Star Trek Online will take your captain to planets, starbases, inside starships and beyond!
