Starfleet
is an exploratory, scientific, and defensive organization
tasked with a great many duties both inside and outside the
Federation. The most efficient management system for such
a complex group is a military organizational structure.
Militaries,
by definition require structuring and expected behavioral
moors that allow every officer and staffmember to always know
what to expect and how to act with other members of Starfleet
without the encumberances of social taboos.
Under
certain conditions, officers and staff of Starfleet are expected
to behave within the guidelines listed below.
