USS Enterprise Senior Staff

Starfleet shipboard command, operational decision‑making, and ethical deliberation aboard the USS Enterprise

Description

A shipboard deliberative cohort commanded by Captain Jean‑Luc Picard, the USS Enterprise Senior Staff assembles the vessel's principal officers to evaluate urgent ethical, operational, and legal dilemmas. Convened in the captain's quarters for full conference, the group weighs competing imperatives (for example, adherence to the Prime Directive versus rescue of endangered lives), formulates courses of action, and issues binding tactical and policy guidance for the crew.
