Job description

Helmsman Opportunity On The USS Voyager

The USS Voyager is seeking a skilled Helmsman to navigate the uncharted territories of space. This individual must be adept at steering a state-of-the-art Intrepid-class starship through nebulae, avoiding spatial anomalies, and occasionally time-traveling (no previous experience required, but an open mind is a must).

Key Responsibilities :

Pilot the USS Voyager through various types of space phenomena with precision and calm, especially when the coffee supply is low.
Collaborate closely with the Chief Engineer to occasionally "bend" the laws of physics to get us where we need to go faster.
Maintain a professional demeanor and excellent flying skills even if the nearest starbase is 70,000 light-years away.
Participate in away missions as required, ideally without breaking any local laws or causing interstellar incidents (again).
Assist in the integration and training of any unconventional new crew members, including but not limited to holograms, ex-Borg drones, and entities from fluidic space.
Demonstrate the ability to make split-second decisions that could potentially alter the course of the ship (and series).

Qualifications :

Extensive experience in piloting advanced starships; previous experience in high-speed chases and evasive maneuvers strongly preferred.

A proven track record of resilience and adaptability, preferably demonstrated by bouncing back from less-than-ideal circumstances (such as a checkered past or time in a penal colony).

Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively with a diverse range of personalities and species.

A sense of humor and the ability to remain calm under pressure, especially when the Captain decides to take the ship into seemingly impossible situations.

Knowledge of astrometrics and local space anomalies desirable, but not required (we'll probably pick up someone along the way who can handle that).

Note :

Preference will be given to candidates who have shown a capacity for personal growth and redemption, especially those seeking a second chance or looking to redefine their legacy. Must be willing to commit to an extended mission duration, which, while scheduled for exploration, could inadvertently become, say, a one-way trip to the other side of the galaxy.

Disclaimer :

USS Voyager is an equal-opportunity employer. Former Maquis, Federation outcasts, and individuals with a knack for bending Starfleet regulations without breaking them are encouraged to apply. Ability to tolerate the Captain's fondness for ancient Earth literature considered a plus.
