Watch Rotations

	B1	B2	E1	E2	M1	M2	S1	S2	G1	G2

Note:  The following are not attached to a watch for fairly obvious reasons:
Captain, Exec. Officer, Chief Engineer, Chief Medical Officer, Security Officer + 1 security crew, and the ship’s droids (military protocol, engineering astromech, 2 medical)

Helmsman and Navigator can be pulled if the entire officer cadre is needed at once.  I put them in a watch with the idea that junior officers would draw bridge watch on occasion without higher officers present as part of their “seasoning”.

Light duty can be converted to heavy duty and other overlays built in if there is a need for a “heavy rotation” with minimal rest periods tied to periods with the entire crew at active duty stations.  And “Duty” sections can be switched to “Light” when the ship is at a Republic base or in hyperspace to reflect time periods where there is partial crewing due to shore leave, refit time, or the general security of being in hyperspace.

Abbrev Key:
On Duty"  (D)
Officer or crewman at post, fully prepared for action.  For X-wings this represents the pilots in the ready room or the hanger itself, the astromech droids in the hanger, and the X-wings prepared for immediate launching.

“Off duty“  (O)
Primarily for sleep and maybe a meal.

“Light duty” (L)
Meals, some social time, and additional duty if it is required.  Light duty will vary a lot depending upon current situation, what needs to be done, crewmen missing or sick, etc.

Comments:
Rotation gives all crew a schedule that will vary between a  12 on / 12 off  and a 18 on / 6 off schedule depending on how the “Light Duty” time is handled.

Ships main officers and droids were exempted to provide them maximum flexibility and the fact that they would make the watches a little uneven.  Also helpful since most of the PCs are here, and Guardian Section 1 takes care of most of the others outside of the diplomatic group, who are essentially passengers as far as this is concerned.
