The Crew

The crew of Final Rites is divided into three groups according to their function: Command, Conservation, and Concierge.

Command

The officer corps: these members of the crew are charged with the maintenance of order on the ship. They are the officers, the final arbitrators. The persons who at any given point can, and will, serve as the authority for disputes and problems among the crew.


Devereux Cervantes

Ship's Captain

• Faceclaim: Jeffrey Wright

Josephine Namine (Nah-min-ay)

Quartermaster

• Responsibilities: In all matters outside of combat, the Quartermaster can veto the captain's orders.

Yor'hala Kehr'sa

Second Lieutenant

The Watch

The crew adheres to a 24-hour watchkeeping cycle where the Concierge and Command crews are split into 3 Teams, each of whom have staggered 4-hour shifts commanded by a pair of Lieutenants. The Conservation crew - the section of the ship Nowhere is a member of - has a more gruelling schedule, akin to a 12 or even 15-hour workday, as the captain has specifically tasked you with a section of the ship's operation. You do have assistants and the like, and are afforded leisurely breaks, but your waking duties are plentiful.

Watch Schedule

• 0400–0800: Team 1
• 0800–1200: Team 2
• 1200–1600: Team 3
• 1600–2000: Team 1
• 2000–0000: Team 2
• 0000–0400: Team 3
