Currently filled by: Vice Admiral Krol, Son of K'Targ

Purpose: Relate! Facilitator - Make sure the lines of communications within the fleet are kept open and active.

Description: Combination of PR, HR, and the personnel duties that might typically be associated with an XO of a ship in Star Trek.

• Act as DFD during the absence of the DFD
• See that information gets where it needs to go, including matching up/introducing the appropriate people with each other in the best interest of whatever needs to be done
• Maintain friendly and active relations with as many people as possible within the fleet, for only by being in touch with the general population can an accurate assessment of situations be made (ie- keep your finger on the pulse of activity amongst the fleet members)
• Create and maintain between self and the members of the fleet the feeling of approachability, so that everyone knows they can come here with any problems, suggestions, comments, complaints, etc. about anyone else in the fleet or the fleet in general
• Maintain discretion, and keep the confidence of any who approach self in manner described above in all situations that warrant it unless express permission to the contrary is given by the individual

• Make recommendations on new COs or Fleet Level Officers
• Webmaster/Archiver of fleet happenings
• Maintain websites for sims who do not have a member of the crew who can do it (whether that's for lack of knowledge or lack of time) - shared duty with DFD
• Monitor sim mailing lists for information that might be relevant/of interest to other members in the fleet not on that sim (ex.- When a person known on a fleet level has irl been injured, had a baby, gotten married, etc. When a CO is forced to suddenly resign.)
• Monitor sims to form an opinion if they are healthy or not
• Create, for approval by the Admiralty, documents which explain items of fleet interest or policy as the need for them arise, or preferably to anticipate such need so that the case does not happen in which there is an event which occurs and there is no determined way of handling it
• Awards nominations editor
• Fleet advertising
