Emergency Systems

Emergency Systems

Emergency systems must be monitored closely at all times. They’re vital to the safety of the crew during any situation, even in the least drastic.

Lifeboats

Lifeboats, or Lifepods as they are also known, have many of the same systems that a ship does. Each of these must be equally monitored as the main vessel does. Regular maintenance schedules must be performed on each lifeboat.

Fire Suppression

The sensors and suppression force fields must be kept within Starfleet guidelines. The Chief Engineer is charged with the task of making sure that all equipment, furnishings, and personal effects conform to Starfleet fire safety guidelines.

Damage Control

During emergency situations where damage has been incurred to the vessel, the Engineering Department must prioritize and then proceed with repairs. Personnel within other departments will continue to work within their own department's concerns, however in non-critical areas, where there might even be damage, cross trained personnel will temporarily transferred to the Engineering department and used to repair critical systems.
