Operations and Development
Operations are the core of the USI. They are the Engineers, Mechanics, Computer Programmers, the Cleaning Crews, the Maintenance Crews, the cooks and all the random jobs around USI that make a ship and station run the way they do. Their jobs are often unseen and unappreciated. They are the largest of USI Departments.
Medical
The Medical Facilities on any USI ship are charged with providing health care to the ship's company and all attached personnel. The extended nature of many starship voyages, as well as the hazardous nature of the USI duty, can make this a considerable challenge. Also, the diverse range of life forms in USI, as well as on various destination planets, dramatically increases the scope of the task.
They are in charge of piloting spacial crafts like StarShips and SFC”s, and plotting courses. While their skills may seam basic, they require a lot of fine tuning an more than just experience to make for the best pilots and Navigators. The position is also one of the most important, as everyone rely’s on good skills to take the ship out to space, and back home again in one piece.
Security
Security is USI’s Police force for both IN the USI ( internal affairs ) and out. They provide for the security, defense, and justice of USI. They are also in charge of providing safety and aid to anyone who needs it. They are best described as a police-like department. While noted as non-combatant, this is due to a difference in training - thought they are fully trained and skilled with weaponry. Security are trained to SWAT level of combat, smaller groups and forces, mostly designed for internal 'security' of the USI. Death and severe casualties are very minimal aside from disaster.
