Pilot

A pilot, sometimes called a star pilot, directly controlled the operation of a vehicle while located within the same craft. For small starships, the pilot might have been in charge of all aspects of the vehicle including navigation, sensors, communications and weapons. For larger ships, a pilot may have been assisted by other crew members to handle different ship systems. Pilots of larger ships were also referred to as helmsmen or helm. The term pilot applied across vehicles used on land or in water, air, and/or space. Jacob Arc and Thalia Mazin were two exceptional star pilots, and their talents led to their appointment as crew members aboard the HRSS Calypso.
