As such, the station is assigned 'attached' vessels which serve to screen it from attackers and to perform scouting and surveying functions nearby as well as general mobile defensive support.

USS ''Daystrom'' adds flexibility so the station can undertake multiple different mission profiles. | ||

On ''Serenity'', however, this is not the case: given the size and scope of ''Serenity'''s diplomatic responsibilities as a regional headquarters, Protocol is a separate department entirely, and is under the purview of Operations. | ||
The ship's counselor is responsible for the mental health of the crew and for advising the captain in matters of shipboard morale. Some ship's counselors go at it alone, others have assistant counselors. There is an enlisted rating of naval counselor. These people are not professional mental health providers, but rather an equivalent of social workers. All ship's counselors have counseling certification from Star Fleet and are assumed to have at least undergraduate degrees (but more often intermediate and advanced degrees) in a related field: psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, or sociology. | The ship's counselor is responsible for the mental health of the crew and for advising the captain in matters of shipboard morale.
