Line 28:
* For that matter, how do they work out duty shifts on vessels with multiple species aboard? Not all planets have a 24-hour day cycle. Is it just that all M-class (which I interpret as Earthlike) planets have similar-length days, or is some other arrangement made?
** [[Deep Space Nine]] used the Bajoran schedule. I'm guessing it's majority rule.
*** Or 'the owner of the ship/station gets to set the clock'.
** The other species have to adapt their cycle to the 24 hour one (or whatever the captain has the ship using), much as the humans and other species on DS9 adjusted to a 26 (or 28, I forget) hour day. One assumes that species with a greater biological imperative than average to be awake at certain times or in certain environments are accommodated as much as possible without completely disrupting everyone else's duty shifts.
