Character

Damage Control Teams

procedurally rigorous responsive practical disciplined

Shipboard damage control teams assemble under bridge orders, racing to repair hull breaches, suppress fires, and isolate failing systems to preserve ship integrity. Drawn from enlisted specialists across the Enterprise‑D, they convert command directives into hands‑on fixes, emergency patches, and system isolations that keep critical sections functional amid battle. Trained to operate within Starfleet protocols and under direct bridge supervision, these teams perform the pragmatic, often unseen work that sustains vessel survivability—most recently being directed to deck fourteen to tackle concentrated battle damage during a high‑stakes engagement.
