Gordon and John in Engineering

Helmsman Gordon Malloy and Chief Engineer John LaMarr.

Engineering Officers are in charge the helm, navigation, and engineering, including the operation and maintenance of vessels and shuttlecraft.[1] Their most crucial function is to maintain ships' quantum accelerators, which are responsible for faster-than-light travel. They are also tasked with performing routine maintenance on ships' shuttlecraft.[2]

A sub-section of engineering is helm control. Engineering Officers can serve as pilots of ships, including the Navigator responsible for trajectory and the Helmsman responsible for flight. Another sub-section of engineering was systems; a system engineer was trained to supervise the functioning of ship systems.[3]

Engineering's insignia is engine gears and its uniform color is orange.

Space Travel Manual[]

It takes steady hands for the helmsman and navigator to steer through supernovas, black holes and asteroid fields - while the engineering officers and maintenance crew work at the speed of light in the heart of the ship.[4]
