The Science Officer (SCO) is a Command Staff officer (CS-5(a)), organized within the Tactical Office, responsible for custom single-player patches for Emperor's Hammer game platforms.
Position Description[edit]
The Science Officer (SCO) is responsible for maintaining the Emperor's Hammer Patch Archive and Fleet Manual, providing evaluation, correction and final approval of all new game patches. All new EH fighter/transport/capital ship designs must first be approved by the SCO prior to review and posting in the Newsletters. The Science Officer also is responsible for being current and knowledgeable on upcoming gaming technologies and mission creators/editors to be released for the Star Wars genre.
Rank[edit]
The Science Officer is a supporting staff officer for the Tactical Officer (TO) and must hold the minimum rank of Rear Admiral. Although organized as a part of the Tactical Office, the position of SCO is considered a Command Staff position. The SCO may be promoted up to and including the rank of High Admiral.
History[edit]
The position of Science Officer was created by Grand Admiral Ronin in Newsletter #26.
Up until 2002 the position description in the Training Manual was: "The Science Officer supervises the Research and Development conducted by the Corporate Division for use by the Emperor's Hammer Fleet. Corporate submissions (and ALL new Corporate Picket Fleet fighter/capital ship designs) must first be approved by the SCO prior to review and posting in the Newsletters. The Science Officer also is responsible for being current and knowledgeable on upcoming gaming technologies and mission creators/editors to be released for the Star Wars genre."
Quickly the weight of the job shifted towards making and managing patches for the TIE Corps, especially after Shadow Works, the Corporate Division Ship Yards, closed down. By the time the Corporate Division link was removed from the Training Manual position description the Science Office hadn't had any connection to that Subgroup for many years.
