Played by: Your name
MINORS = General Subjects / MAJORS = Specialties
A quick explanation: A character with a MAJOR in, for example, 'OPERATIONS - Emergency Protocols' means that the character has touched on everything there is to know about that field (OPERATIONS) plus has specialized in the chosen area (Emergency Protocols). The MINOR is another area that your character has studied but in a more general sense. All graduates of Starfleet Academy are expected to know something about every field listed below, so specifying that your character has a MAJOR in 'ENGINEERING - Warp Theory' and a MINOR in 'FLIGHT CONTROL' does not mean that they will never be able to do anything else.
If you have any questions about the Minors and Majors or any other parts of the DISTANT HORIZONS universe, please do not hesitate to contact the WebMaster. Thank you.
