"Throughout history, starship crews have encountered dangers in the depths of space. To give the Commanding Officer and the bridge crew the best chance to avoid violence by providing them with what may be information integral to their survival, all Starfleet starships have been outfitted with an array of sensor palettes and telescopes that bring kiloquads of information into the ship's computer banks every second. Experience has taught us, however, that the automated systems of a starship cannot always sort the important from the unimportant information. To solve that problem, Starfleet created the position of Chief Science Officer."@en . . . . "The Science department is responsible for collecting and analyzing gathered data in the course of the duty station\u2019s exploration. They are responsible for classifying discovered planets and species; analyzing flora, fauna, and geological samples; and reporting on their findings. Science officers are usually the ones operating the tricorders. The head of the department is the Chief Science Officer (CSO)."@en . "Chief Science Officer"@en . . . . .
