Starfleet Science



Starfleet Science, also known as Science Ops or Office of Science Ops, is an administrative command division of Starfleet Command that is housed at Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco on Earth. It is commanded by the Chief of Starfleet Science, who is a member of the Office of the Admiralty.

Functions
Starfleet Science was responsible for developing the theories used in creating the prototypes for the modified polaron emitters that were to be used to expose Gowron as a changeling. They believed that exposure to polaron radiation given off by these emitters would have a destabilizing effect on the changling's morphogenic matrix forcing him to revert to his natural state.
