DESCRIPTION
CIC stands for Combat Information Center, and is located on deck 12, within the secondary hull aboard the USS KIROV. The Combat Information Center's mission is fourfold:
- Monitor all sensor readings for signs of tactical threat, and in combat analyze sensor readings of threat vessels.
- Plot and track all readings given by the sensors, and in combat plot firing solutions for Tactical to have at hand.
- Communicate and Co-ordinate with other Federation and/or allied vessels while in combat. CIC serves as the clearinghouse for the officer in Tactical command of an engagement, passing his orders to and from the other ships in an engagement.
- In an emergency, CIC can serve as the ship's command center if the bridge becomes incapacitated. Auxiliary stations for the primary bridge stations are provided, but nominally left unmanned. In case of a Flag officer commanding from CIC, these stations could also serve as positions for his or her staff.
CIC is laid out as a large circular compartment, approximately fifty Percent larger than the Bridge, and is typically kept dimly lit and cooler than the rest of the ship. The most dominating feature of the CIC is the Main Holographic Display, which takes up most of the starboardside forward quarter of the compartment. The Bridge repeater stations are set up around the aft periphery of the Main Holographic Display, and immediately forward of the Main Holographic Display is the Main Viewscreen. However, this Viewscreen is rarely used.
The Communications Division's stations run along the Starboard bulkhead until they end at the main entrance, after which the Sensors Division's stations run along the aft and portside aft periphery of the compartment and end at the entrance to the CIC Officer's office. The portside forward quarter is dominated by the Plotting and Tracking Division and features multiple medium-sized viewscreens and several holographic plotting tables. The Command Chair is set immediately aft of the Main Holographic display and in a line between the main entrance and the CIC Officer's office. The Command Chair has its own small holographic display and a number of information repeaters surrounding it.

DEPARTMENTAL DIVISIONS
Sensors
The Sensors division is responsible for monitoring and interpreting all information received by the ships sensors. The Sensors Division is typically commanded by an Ensign (O-1), or Lieutenant Junior Grade (O-2). Each sensor array on a ship has a station manned to monitor it in CIC, large arrays, such as the lateral array, are often divided among several stations and each is assigned a 'sector'.
Ratings assigned to the Sensors Division are often Operations Specialists (OS), or Information Systems Technicians (IT).
Plotting and Tracking
The Plotting and Tracking Division is responsible for tracking all sensor contacts reported by the Sensors Division in relation to the ship. In addition, during combat the Plotting and Tracking Division pre-plots firing solutions on all sensor contacts and relays them to the Tactical station on the Bridge, providing the Tactical Officer quick targeting selection. The Plotting and Tracking Division is often commanded by a Lieutenant Junior Grade (O-2), and often has an assistant officer of Ensign (O-1) grade.
Ratings assigned to the Plotting and Tracking Division are often Operations Specialists (OS), or Information Systems Technicians (IT).
Communications
The Communications Division is responsible for maintaining unbroken communication and data links to other Federation or allied vessels in combat and passing orders between them from the Officer in Tactical Command. The Communications Division is often commanded by an Ensign (O-1), or Lieutenant Junior Grade (O-2).
Ratings assigned to the Communication's Division are often Cryptographic Technicians of all types, or Information Systems Technicians (IT).
DEPARTMENT BIOFILES
- NOTE: All NPC biofiles in this packet are in the form of general descriptions. Detailed information is reserved for PC's only.
- All CIC characters were created by and primarily used by Scott Lusby.
LTJG Lia Hetrick, Strategic Operations Officer (CIC)
- This character is a non-protected NPC.
-LTJG Hetrick is a young woman of striking beauty and deceptive physical strength. As CICXO leader, she is the deaptment's reigning expert on sensor operation and interpretation, as well as on Photon and Quantum Flux torpedoes. Not only is she punctual with sensor maintenance, she also is quite adept in assisting DAMCON and ENG-R teams in their repair during crisis situations. As a certified Junior Watch Officer, she will occupy CIC on the bridge during BRAVO (1200-1600 hours) and DELTA (2000-0000) shifts. ---------------------End Bio chip---------------------------------
ENS Garrod Kierring, Plotting and Tracking DivO
- This character is a non-protected NPC.
-ENS Kierring, as his position as Plotting and Tracking Division leader would imply, is the ship's expert in both plotting firing solutions and tracking all kinds of phenomena. His ultimate goal is to work in Star Fleet R&D on future weapons integration designs. In fact, Kierring is currently researching ways to upgrade existing systems in his spare time. Also certified as Junior Watch Officer, he will occupy CIC on the bridge during CHARLIE (1600-2000 hours) and ECHO (0000-0400) shifts. ---------------------End Bio chip---------------------------------
ENS Connely Ravenford, Department XO and Sensors DivO
- This character is a non-protected NPC.
-ENS Ravenford is the most experienced officer in the department. She doesn't have a real area of expertise, but her general experience in CIC has made her the best candidate as the Sensors Division leader. She is also an outstanding administrative officer, and a future billet as someone's Adjutant seems likely. Should Veld lose a Junior Bridge Officer in the future, Ravenford will be the next one in the department tapped. --------------------End Bio chip----------------------------------
ITC Vastrillius Insargin, Communications DivO
- This character is a non-protected NPC.
-Chief Petty Officer Insargin, Alpha Centauri by birth, is actually an expert in Hand-to-Hand Combat- unlikely for the ship's Communications Division head. But his skill in poking through communication jamming are fast improving. He is the most junior in terms of experience of the Division chiefs, but the most experienced rating in the department in terms of years of service. --------------------End Bio chip----------------------------------
