	(Typically a Klingon commander sits in a chair directly in front of the viewscreen. Behind him and to his sides are the crew’s duty stations: Tactical (weapons, shields, and the cloaking device), Communications, Helm, and Navigation, among others. Note that the Klingons maintain a distinction between Helm and Navigation, much like Star Fleet did in the 23rd century; the Helmsman and Navigator fulfill the functions that the Flight Control and Operations officers do on a Star Fleet ship. The Communications officer can assist them with their duties if necessary (by, for example, taking control of the sensors during a difficult piloting situation).
