}}'''Starfleet Enlisted Training Command''' is the department within [[Starfleet Training Command]] responsible for basic and advanced training of all enlisted members of Starfleet. This department includes hundreds of separate Enlisted Training Centers across the Federation, as well as several Technical Service Academies for advanced training. All enlisted members of Starfleet go through basic training, but training beyond that is highly variable based on the individual's skills and prior experience.

'''USS ''Century'' (NCC-94004)''' is a [[Constitution III Class|''Constitution III''-class]] [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] starship currently assigned to [[Fourth Fleet|Fourth Fleet's]] [[Task Force 47]]. The ''Century'' was part of the first production run of the new [[Constitution III Class|''Constitution III''-class]] vessels, and was put through her shakedown cruise in late 2400. She is currently under the command of [[bfms char:22951|Captain Gar'rath]], the first to assume official command of the vessel.


== Starfleet Enlisted Training Centers ==
Currently on her first serious of deep space missions, the ''USS Century'' has not undergone any significant modifications since her launch, with the notable exception of a system overhaul following the events of Frontier Day in 2401.
Every recruit starts their Starfleet career at an Enlisted Training Center (ETC), which are found on most major starbases throughout the Federation as well as many member worlds and developed colonies. These centers guide new recruits through basic training and their apprenticeships, with the total time spent there ranging from six months to one year.


=== Starfleet Basic Training ===
[[File:ConstitutionIIIMSD.jpeg|thumb]]
[[File:FieldTraining.jpg|thumb|Physical training is a major component of the basic training experience.]]
Basic Training is a six-month course designed to prepare trainees for the rigors of space travel and the discipline and decorum required of all members of Starfleet. Physical training, classroom learning, and simulations are all a part of this experience, with a particular emphasis on safety and emergency procedures. Topics covered include zero-gravity training, starship and station emergency procedures, fitness and nutrition, first aid, and basic small arms use. This program covers the grade of Crewman Recruit.


=== Starfleet Career Apprenticeships ===
==Key Locations==
Career Apprenticeships are the next stage in the enlisted training program, and are a combination of classroom learning and job shadowing meant to prepare crewmen apprentices through a six-month course to become crewmen with a specialty in one of six basic areas of starship or station service:
===Bridge===


* Engineering Technician Apprenticeship - Fundamentals of basic maintenance and damage control
The bridge of the USS Century is in the standard configuration found on all first generation [[Constitution III Class|''Constitution III''-class]] starships.
* Science Technician Apprenticeship - Fundamentals of tricorder use, laboratory safety, and sample preparation
* Medical Technician Apprenticeship - Fundamentals of medical tricorder use, patient repositioning, and advanced first aid
* Operations Apprenticeship - Fundamentals of load balancing, cargo bay operations, and supply operations
* Security Apprenticeship - Fundamentals of hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship
* Yeoman Apprenticeship - Fundamentals of data security, report preparation, and protocol


Often, on training centers attached to starbases, apprentices will spend a lot of time actually learning from more senior enlisted members and officers in addition to more structured academic learning. Some ETCs on more isolated worlds use holodeck training to replicate this experience. Sometimes, deployment schedules and staffing needs will mean that crewmen recruits are posted directly to starships, where they finish their apprenticeships truly in the field. Upon finishing the apprenticeship stage, a crewman apprentice is promoted to crewman and is qualified for starship or space station service.
==Deck Layout==
'''Deck 00''': Sensor Platform


Often professionals with university degrees or other prior experience will enlist in Starfleet with no immediate desire to become an officer. While Basic Training is required for everyone, someone with significant experience as a civilian technician, medic, etc. may be allowed to skip the apprenticeship at the discretion of their training officer, advancing directly to Crewman from Crewman Apprentice.
'''Deck 01''': Bridge/Observation Lounge/Captain's Ready Room


== Starfleet Technical Services Academy ==
'''Deck 02''': Officers Quarters/Captain's Mess
Structured in parallel to [[Starfleet Academy]], the Starfleet Technical Services Academy is a series of facilities around the Federation that provide enlisted personnel with opportunities to gain more education in a wide variety of specialty areas, both directly connected to the six apprenticeship programs and in areas like diplomatic and legal support, tactical, intelligence, and mentorship through several schools. Six-month and one-year programs exist and can be taken at multiple stages within an enlisted member's career. Many of these facilities share resources and personnel with a Starfleet Academy campus, but they do not award academic degrees.


Unlike at Starfleet Academy, training programs are laid out strictly by department, not by academic field (though in the sciences these are one and the same). Also unlike Starfleet Academy, these positions are designed to prepare an individual for a specific role within a department rather than as generalists. Six-month programs prepare enlisted members to become technicians (who are closely supervised by specialists and officers) while twelve-month programs prepare enlisted members to become specialists. For Engineering, Operations, Science, Medical, and Counseling, members need to have completed the relevant six-month program before completing the twelve-month program. 
'''Deck 03''': Officers Quarters/Impulse Engines


Not all enlisted members take programs through this academy, as it is possible to qualify for more advanced roles via on-the-job training in most cases, or to join the fleet with experience in another service (Such as the Starfleet Auxiliary) or possess a relevant academic degree that would make this training redundant. It is also possible to take programs from these schools via the holodeck and other distance learning techniques, which is often preferred by members who have enlisted in the first place to avoid spending years in a classroom setting before making it out into the field.
'''Deck 04''': Science Laboratories/Impulse Engines


=== Technical Services School ===
'''Deck 05''': Science Laboratories/Impulse Engineering/Primary Hull Shuttlebay
The Technical Services School provides foundational and intermediate training in engineering and operations occupations, which allow enlisted members to gain critical technical knowledge in things like transporter operations, engine maintenance, and computer operation. It is the largest of the schools within the Technical Services Academy. This school has six-month programs qualifying individuals as technicians, who work under the very close supervision of officers and specialists, and one-year programs qualifying individuals as specialists who have more autonomy and experience.

<sup>1</sup>Computer Operations refers to the protocols for operating standard starship and space station computer systems, especially with regard to things like access rights, data security, and other software-related things, while Computer Systems Engineering refers to the physical installation, maintenance, and repair of computer systems and networks, but there is overlap here.


=== Scientific Services School ===
'''Deck 06''': Crew Quarters/Nacelle Control Room
The Scientific Services School provides foundational and intermediate training in core scientific disciplines, allowing enlisted members of the fleet to handle advanced laboratory work, or to move beyond lab technician duties to become scientists in their own right. The six-month programs qualify an individual as a technician within one of the major scientific sections aboard a station or starbase, where they assist in any or all of the fields within that section, while the twelve-month programs qualify an individual as a specialist within an individual scientific area. While eighteen months of training is insufficient time to get a full and complete sense of the discipline, it sets enlisted members up with a strong foundation to allow them to learn and develop on the job.

The Medical Services School has programs designed for specific vocations within medicine and counseling, which allow for enlisted members to become certified in a number of specialties, including nursing assistants, counselor's assistants, and field medics. While it is not possible to become a nurse, counselor, or physician through this school, it is possible to become well-trained as an assistant to these roles reserved for officers. Nursing assistants are often referred to in short-hand as 'nurses' especially by laymen, but their role is to support nurses and carry out care decisions made by nurses and physicians.

The Security Services School includes training programs for security, tactical, intelligence, and strategic operations, conceptualizing security broadly in terms of Starfleet's defensive mandate rather than limiting that to just shipboard security departments. This school consists entirely of one-year programs which are meant for security officers who have had several years of experience in active service, as training in things like hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and shipboard or stationboard safety occurs as part of their normal duties. From there, an enlisted member could transition into tactical, intelligence, or strategic operations.

The Clerical, Diplomatic, and Legal Services School is a catch-all for training programs to prepare enlisted members to serve in support functions. As with the Security Services School, there are only one-year programs, as the vocations associated with this school require moderate to high clearance levels and are more suited to individuals with several years of service. A common career path is to spend a few years as a yeoman before specializing into one of these three areas.

===''We are the Borg'' Fleet Action Mission, ''The Great Chase''===
The ''USS Century'', while on patrol along the Federation/Romulan Republic border, intercepted messages and sensor readings that indicated the presence of a Borg vessel of unknown configuration and purpose in their patrol area. The crew spent just over a standard Terran week searching for the vessel without significant results before a transport vessel happened upon what was later identified as a Borg Scout ship. The crew of the transport escaped the Scout vessel without incident, and the ''USS Century'' began pursuit and monitoring of the Borg's activities.
 
Under the ''Century's'' surveillance, the Borg vessel raided a derelict relay station, harvesting only a small assortment of seemingly random items before departing the area. This strange behavior from the vessel was inexplicable to the crew, and the purpose for it remains an unsolved mystery. After leaving the relay station behind, the Scout craft entered Romulan Republic space, which the ''Century'' also crossed, taking the precaution of warning the local authorities of both their purpose for entering their sovereign territory and of the presence of the Borg threat they were pursuing.
 
The Borg Scout did not approach or assail any assets within Romulan Republic space, using it only as the fastest means of transit to their actual destination, a well-hidden Romulan installation within a star system just outside of the Velorum Nebula. Given the location sat within the contested region of Romulan space controlled by rivaling warlords, the ''USS Century'' was forced to suspend their pursuit of the craft just inside of Republic space. The ship began monitoring the situation via long range sensors, able to witness but not prevent the events that followed.
 
The Borg Scout arrived in the target system and began an immediate and merciless assault of the installation and its defenders. During the raid, the ''Century'' crew was able to determine that the vessel had been seeking some manner of object that was emitting a homing signal the ship had not detected before given the specialist nature of the frequency being used. Once they had this information, the ''Century'' scanned their immediate area for another signal of its like, determining that at least within the range of its scan, there were no signals that might draw the Scout back toward Federation or allied space. The Scout soon departed the area, and while the ''Century's'' Executive Officer made a plea for the vessel to render aid, the ship did not violate contested space as the Commanding Officer deemed it too great a risk should the Romulans controlling the system see it as an act of aggression.
 
The ''USS Century'' concluded its surveillance mission when the craft departed deeper within the area of space the Federation vessel was unable to pursue it through for diplomatic reasons. The ship instead set a course back toward Federation space to resume the patrol that had been their original mission.

Service History

We are the Borg Fleet Action Mission, The Great Chase

The USS Century, while on patrol along the Federation/Romulan Republic border, intercepted messages and sensor readings that indicated the presence of a Borg vessel of unknown configuration and purpose in their patrol area. The crew spent just over a standard Terran week searching for the vessel without significant results before a transport vessel happened upon what was later identified as a Borg Scout ship. The crew of the transport escaped the Scout vessel without incident, and the USS Century began pursuit and monitoring of the Borg's activities.

Under the Century's surveillance, the Borg vessel raided a derelict relay station, harvesting only a small assortment of seemingly random items before departing the area. This strange behavior from the vessel was inexplicable to the crew, and the purpose for it remains an unsolved mystery. After leaving the relay station behind, the Scout craft entered Romulan Republic space, which the Century also crossed, taking the precaution of warning the local authorities of both their purpose for entering their sovereign territory and of the presence of the Borg threat they were pursuing.

The Borg Scout did not approach or assail any assets within Romulan Republic space, using it only as the fastest means of transit to their actual destination, a well-hidden Romulan installation within a star system just outside of the Velorum Nebula. Given the location sat within the contested region of Romulan space controlled by rivaling warlords, the USS Century was forced to suspend their pursuit of the craft just inside of Republic space. The ship began monitoring the situation via long range sensors, able to witness but not prevent the events that followed.

The Borg Scout arrived in the target system and began an immediate and merciless assault of the installation and its defenders. During the raid, the Century crew was able to determine that the vessel had been seeking some manner of object that was emitting a homing signal the ship had not detected before given the specialist nature of the frequency being used. Once they had this information, the Century scanned their immediate area for another signal of its like, determining that at least within the range of its scan, there were no signals that might draw the Scout back toward Federation or allied space. The Scout soon departed the area, and while the Century's Executive Officer made a plea for the vessel to render aid, the ship did not violate contested space as the Commanding Officer deemed it too great a risk should the Romulans controlling the system see it as an act of aggression.

The USS Century concluded its surveillance mission when the craft departed deeper within the area of space the Federation vessel was unable to pursue it through for diplomatic reasons. The ship instead set a course back toward Federation space to resume the patrol that had been their original mission.
