Bridge Missions will feature ship to ship combat. This may be one on one, or involve whole armadas. Bridge missions may also include many of the mysteries and dangers of space with encounters with such beings as the crystalline entity, or spatial anomalies that threaten the ship. Spatial anomalies are always threatening the ship.

Bridge missions may also involve the everyday activity of exploring the unknown, research and exploration. Many Star Trek missions have required the support of colonies, protection of planets through puzzle solving.

The goal of the Ship Command structure is to encourage groups of players to form “bridge crews,” small groups of specialized players, who in working together amplify each other’s strengths and supplement weaknesses.
