Star Army Second Officer is a position typically assigned to the highest-ranking Line Officer (not a Staff Officer like a doctor) of a starship crew (or other Star Army unit) who is not the Commanding Officer or First Officer/Executive Officer.

The Second Officer can either be a Star Army First Officer MOS (resulting in two of this MOS in the crew), or can be a standard officer MOS like starship navigator (typical) or starship operator.

The function of the Second Officer is to be an auxiliary XO. Second officers are watch keepers who stand duty as commander of the bridge as appropriate when the captain and XO are off-duty or occupied. Frequently seen on night shift.

NCOs and enlisted can't hold the second officer position, only commissioned officers can.
