AT: "xx" Aboard a starship the first officer was the second-in-command, just below the captain. On a Federation starship, the first officer had the following functions:
- Serve as the principal adviser to the captain
- Implementing the captain's orders
- Preparing and issuing duty rosters (VOY: "The Gift", "Tsunkatse", "Endgame")
- Commanding the vessel in the event of the captain's absence, incapacitation or death (VOY: "Night", "Before and After"; TNG: "The Battle", "Tapestry")
- Working with the chief medical officer or counselor on crew evaluations (TNG: "Lower Decks")
- Attending important meetings and briefings with the captain (Star Trek Into Darkness)
In Starfleet the position was usually held by an officer with the rank of commander or lieutenant commander. The position was also referred to as executive officer (or XO).
In Starfleet's early period of existence, the first officer would accompany the captain on landing parties, depending on the situation. By the 24th century, however, it was the first officer who usually led away teams while the captain remained on the ship.
In the 22nd and 23rd centuries, the first officer served as a department head first and the executive officer second (similar to the second officer and third officer) and only took command when the captain left the bridge, as such, there was no first officer's station as there would be in the 24th century, as the XO would alternate between the command chair and their station as a department head.
By the 24th century it was not uncommon for the first officer, as adviser, to give orders to the crew even with the captain on the bridge. While the captain had the authority to countermand such orders, the captain usually supported the first officer's decisions.
Some noted first officers in Starfleet history were:
- Sub-Commander/Commander T'Pol of Enterprise NX-01
- Lieutenant Commander (later Commander, and later Captain) Spock of the USS Enterprise and USS Enterprise-A
- Commander William T. Riker of the USS Enterprise-D and the USS Enterprise-E
- Major (later Colonel) Kira Nerys of Deep Space 9
- Lieutenant Commander Worf of the USS Defiant
- Commander Chakotay of the USS Voyager
The Starfleet of the alternate reality established in 2233 by the temporal incursion of the Romulan Nero had the following noteworthy first officers:
- Lieutenant Commander George Kirk of the USS Kelvin
- James T. Kirk, briefly first officer of USS Enterprise (promoted by Captain Christopher Pike following Spock's transfer to the USS Bradbury, but never serving in that capacity shipboard)
- Commander Spock of the USS Enterprise and Bradbury (the latter in name only, as he never had the chance to serve there)
