The '''Chaplain''' is a specialized position tasked with providing spiritual guidance to the crew of their assigned ship or facility. Though specialized in their own faith, chaplains are also versed in the religious customs of many other species, allowing them to serve all the divergent customs that make up the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]].

The current form of military chaplain dates from the era of [[Earth]]'s First World War. A chaplain conducts religious services in the field and tries to maintain morale.

Chaplains are nominated in different ways. A [[Starfleet]] chaplain can be an [[Academy]]-trained officer with additional theological training or a priest nominated to the fleet by religious authorities. It is uncommon (but not unheard of) for a chaplain to become a full member of the clergy in his faith, then enroll in [[Starfleet Academy]] later.

Chaplains are nominally noncombatants under the [[Khitomer Accords]] and Setlick Convention. Still, many of them have died in the field. Many have been decorated for bravery in action. Some Chaplains also break the [[Khitomer Accords]] and act as combatants, usually only if and when the situation warrants itself.
