A function aboard a starship, a second officer assumes command of the ship when both the Captain and First Officer are unavailable. Traditionally, the second officer holds the rank of lieutenant to lieutenant commander. The second officer is a department head aboard the ship first, and a second officer second. He rarely is involved in the day to day command of the starship or starbase the way the captain or first officer is.
