S/he has final authority on all decisions regarding the ship and her mission. The Executive officer or XO is the commander's immediate subordinate, and is also his/her successor should the need arise.

Tactical officer must manually print or offload data from the various central computers s/he monitors (Fire control, Navigation, FTL, and mainframe computers) and relay this information to the other officers and staff in the room. Fortunately, many stations see the same information on displays similar to those at the Tactical Station, but it is the Tactical Officer who is charged with notifying the commander of the changes and interpreting the results. The Tactical Officer also is the administrator for all central computers onboard and provides maintenance as required. While the Helm officers drive the ship, it is the Tactical officer that plots FTL jumps, the apparently instantaneous leap from one location in space to another location millions of kilometers away. The Tactical officer not only has to provide Jump coordinates to the battlestar's helm, but also relay them if other ships are accompanying the Battlestar.
