RE: Ship Department Size
----
One question that is sometimes asked is how many people are in a given department on a starship.  These numbers are some rough estimates of departmental personnel numbers for ships of varying sizes.  This document should be considered as a guideline for naval personnel.  Please note that most starship classes also carry a marine detachment.

Note: The numbers are not rounded off to whole hundreds because they are generated by a computer algorithm.  If you would like the rough breakdown for a specific ship class, it can be calculated upon request.  Or, since these numbers are a guideline, simply use the table below to estimate the number of crew in a given department.
