2.21 Tactical Analysis
Emphasizes Voyager's extensive tactical analysis ability, the crew's training in cultural sociology and strategy, and the role of sensors and computers in evaluating adversaries.
One of the more formidable weapons in Voyager’s arsenal is its extensive tactical analysis ability. These capabilities and skills are often more important in the successful resolution of a crisis than are advanced weaponry and shields. The ship’s captain and staff are fully trained in cultural sociology, crisis analysis, and strategy. They are able to anticipate and deal with most potential conflicts, long before they reach the need for force.
Sensors and computers play a crucial part in the ship’s defensive and offensive capabilities. The intelligence-gathering capability of these sophisticated systems are a powerful tool in evaluating potential adversaries and helping our people to estimate their probable responses.
