Two points that need to be made which I did not include on the supernova and nova manning blogs. First, a ship operates twenty-four hours per day during deployment. There are no holidays or weekends when no functions must be covered. For instance, can you go twenty-four hours without breathing? All operations must be manned and watched by someone.
Second, every crew member has a number of duties, most of them critical to the functioning of the ship. Remember this when reading book three which will be coming out soon.
