Fleet level scientists

Fleet level scientists —As with Academy Applicants, Fleet Scientists are accepted after undergoing a rigorous selection process. They will have a University degree, be a Science Corps member, be physically fit and pass Officer Candidate's training (a high difficulty, shortened Academy session of at least 18 standard months).

While in the Fleet, they are required to maintain all qualifications and continue training in their specialty. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the Fleet.
