Diplomatic personnel in Starfleet (as opposed to those working for the wider Federation) were in the Command Division. The majority of diplomatic personnel were Line Officers (either graduates of the Academy, or civilian diplomats given a commission to work within Starfleet). Junior officers could be aides or junior members of a delegation. Less vital aspects of a negotiation could be handled by lower ranked diplomats, assuming it would not offend foreign parties, of course.
Chief Diplomatic Officer The Chief Diplomatic Officer (CDO) of each ship or starbase had to be quite familiar with a range of areas, like Federation foreign policy, intergalactic politics, economics and history. S/he had to be a skilled negotiator and advise his/her CO on current operation status in regard to diplomatic contacts and expected repercussions of different tactics of diplomacy. Moreover, the Chief Diplomatic Officer was in charge of the ship's or starbase's Diplomatic Corps detachment. He or she oversaw the operation of it, and made sure everything in that department was carried out according to Starfleet Regulations and current mission protocols.
Like all Diplomatic officers, the CDO must be familiar with a variety of areas: history, religion, politics, economics, and military, and understand how they affect potential threats. A wide range of operations can occur in response to these areas and threats. These operations occur within three general states of being: peacetime competition, conflict and war.
S/he must be equally flexible and demonstrate initiative, agility, depth, synchronization, and improvisation to provide responsive legal services to his/her Commanding Officer as well a diplomatic advise on current status of an alien species both aligned and non aligned to the Federation.
Assistant Chief Diplomatic Officer The Asst. Diplomatic Officer (ACDO) of each ship or starbase, like the CDO, also had to be quite familiar with the same wide range of areas, like Federation foreign policy, intergalactic politics, economics and history. S/he also had to be a skilled negotiator and advise his/her CO on current operation status in regard to diplomatic contacts and expected repercussions of different tactics of diplomacy. The Assistant Chief Diplomatic Officer was the second-in-command of the ship's Diplomatic Corps detachment. If necessary, he or she took the place of the Chief Diplomatic Officer on a temporary or permanent basis. Diplomat A diplomat is a specialized civilian who must be familiar with a variety of areas: history, religion, politics, economics, and military, and understand how they affect potential threats.

The diplomatic officer was a Starfleet position in use during the 24th century. The Federation Diplomatic Corps was an institution of the United Federation of Planets which was responsible for negotiating treaties with foreign states and maintaining inter-state relations and diplomacy within the Federation. The Starfleet Diplomatic Corps was a department within Starfleet's Command Division, and often the two organisations overlapped in deployment of personnel, officers and civilians alike sometimes representing both or either of the two organisations. The movement of personnel belonging to Starfleet was still governed by the Starfleet Transfer Regulations, just like any other officer. Diplomatic personnel in Starfleet (as opposed to those working for the wider Federation) were in the Command Division. The majority of diplomatic personnel were Line Officers (either graduates of the Academy, or civilian diplomats given a commission to work within Starfleet). Junior officers could be aides or junior members of a delegation. Less vital aspects of a negotiation could be handled by lower ranked diplomats, assuming it would not offend foreign parties, of course.
Ambassador of The Federation The Ambassador is equivalent to the Chief Diplomatic Officer. The Diplomatic Officer of each vessel/base must be familiar with a variety of areas: history, religion, politics, economics, and military, and understand how they affect potential threats. A wide range of operations can occur in response to these areas and threats. These operations occur within three general states of being: peacetime competition, conflict and war.
S/he must be equally flexible and demonstrate initiative, agility, depth, synchronization, and improvisation to provide responsive legal services to his/her Commanding Officer as well a diplomatic advise on current status of an Alien Species both aligned and non aligned to the Federation.
