Command Officers
The command staff are in charge of every other department. Most of the command staff work in the Drive Room which is the closest thing the Blue Dwarf has to a Star Trek-style "Bridge". The Command department is headed by the Captain, who delegates orders to all other departments.
In space there is no clear night or day, so the Command staff work in shifts to make sure there is always someone in the Drive Room overseeing the entire working operations of the ship.
The Command Staff also deal with ship-to-ship communications, and negotiations with other planets, spaceships and space stations.
The Command staff are all Officer-trained, and should have attended the Space Corps Academy.
