The Science profession focuses on weakening or incapacitating the enemy over time, creating energy fields that damage or hinder, and healing their away team from such effects. The Science Officer has the greatest potential to quickly react to a chaotic combat situation through direct enemy holds, weakening an enemy groups combat strength or resistance, or responding to an enemy attack by quickly healing damage. The science officer's combat effectiveness is their versatility.
