1. Introduction
The purpose of this Handbook is to give a solid grounding of information, Division structure, and links to resources that a senior officer in UCIP’s TrekOps Division will need. Please note that this document clarifies the internal TrekOps Division structure and does not violate the duties and responsibilities outlined in UCIP Divisional Powers Act.
2. TrekOps Structure
-Division Commander
–Deputy Division Commander (Starfleet Operations, OOC)
—Fleet Commanders
—-Fleet Deputy Commanders
—–SIM Command Teams
–Deputy Division Commander (Chief of Staff, IC)
—Trek Agencies (IC Staff)
The Division Commander/Director, the Deputy Division Commander(s), the Fleet Commanders and the Deputy Fleet Commanders make up the TrekOps Division Staff, which works as a team to establish the collective Trek Universe environment created and participated in by the TrekOps Division SIMs. As per UCIP Organizational policy, both Division and Fleet Commanders may have multiple Deputies, but only one primary Deputy who will act in the Commander’s stead as Division or Fleet representative as the need arises. In the event of a Deputy being unavailable, the remaining members of the respective staff level are expected to cover the outlined duties. Individual teams may delegate specific duties as necessary or appropriate.

Trek Division Channel Behavior Expectations
As a member of TrekOps Division, you are expected to be professional. If there is a Trek Division-related problem or incident, report it IMMEDIATELY to your Fleet Command so it can be dealt with in the most expedient manner possible through the Chain of Command. As a member of TrekOps Division, please remember that what you do anywhere in UCIP, regardless of whether it is related to your SIM and/or the Division or not, reflects back onto your SIM and/or Division.
Remember to treat all individuals with respect. If you feel for some reason that you are unable to do this, then please leave the channel until you are in a frame of mind conducive to respectful discussion.
Sometimes discussions in Division Channels can get a bit rowdy, as we do not have any type of channel ‘ratings’. However, if something gets to the point where you are feeling uncomfortable, then please inform one of the senior channel operators.
Trek Command will not tolerate individuals disrespecting other SIMs, Fleets, Divisions, Services Departments or members of UCIP within Trek Channels.
If any Trek member sees another individual in Trek channels behaving unprofessionally, they are asked to remind that individual of the rules of the channel even if that member of Trek outranks them in the chain of command. Nine times out of Ten, this will correct the problem. Please try to remove arguments about channel behavior and what is or isn’t appropriate to other channels. A log of all incidents resulting in removal from the channel or a ban, should be sent to the appropriate level Command List, following the Chain of Command.
If you have made what you feel is a reasonable request, and it has been ignored, please report it to the appropriate Command Team to be dealt with.
