DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL SERVICES

STARFLEET’s Department of Technical Services is your gateway to the technologies of Star Trek. Its mission is to serve the “technical” information needs of STARFLEET’s chapters and members. It does this through the operation of several “sub-agencies”, as well as the department itself.

The primary function of the DTS at the departmental level is two-fold. Administratively, it is the agency that reviews and approves requests by STARFLEET chapters for names, vessel classes, and registry/NCC numbers. It maintains a list of all vessels either in use or reserved, so as to avoid any inadvertent duplication. Groups seeking chapter status have their requests approved by DTS as a prerequisite for launch.
