Having a very low, ominous shudder your Type XII shuttle pitches down and starts to descend by way of the planet's atmosphere at an alarming rate. Your passengers -- security staff, doctors, even hardened security officers panic and flail around -- but you're not worried a little. It's just a malfunction within the flight laptop or computer... having a flick you disengage the errant machine and grasp the manage column.
"Hang on," you phone over your shoulder, "I'm taking her in manually!"
Starfleet pilots aren't just the most effective... they may be the most effective from the ideal, and at UFOP: StarBase 118 you could soar with the very ideal of people guys. From the tiniest shuttle for the biggest Prometheus and Galaxy class starships, the helmsmen of Starfleet do the not possible daily. Some may perhaps deride them as just glorified bus drivers, but people people today promptly shut their mouths when you make a Defiant class ship fly like a Peregrine class Marquee raider.
A one of a kind component of Star Trek's UFOP: StarBase 118 is usually a position named "Helm/Conn/Ops", or HCO for brief. It's precisely what's written on the tin; you're communications, you're helm, you're operations. You're the residing, beating heart of your ship and you also effort is the backbone of your ship.
But be they HCOs or pure helmsmen, pilots are the dashing heroes from the Starfleet world and their glory is won by way of bravery, courage, valour and skill against not possible odds. Some say they treat their craft as an extension of their very own self, like a tiny bird with huge metal wings carrying them to greatness.
And they generally get the girls (or the guys)*.
