Due to the chaos that is common aboard the Starbase, the chain-of-command is quite complicated and requires a number of officers to make decisions and to set the example for the rest of the crew, the populace, and the ships docking there.  At the top is the Sector C-in-C who is in charge of all happenings in the Liberty system and about 30 other star systems in the vicinity.  The Liberty Sector C-in-C is typically a full Admiral, and usually does not involve themselves in the day-to-day happenings aboard Starbase Liberty even though they typically are stationed aboard the Starbase.  The other officers in the command structure are completely vital to the Starbase's prosperity and safety, and all play important roles in the day-to-day business aboard this hectic station.  

  Many have asked if they were made of the right stuff.... how about you?  Are you command material?

Sector Commander-in-Chief:

This Flag officer is responsible for discharging missions to the ships assigned to his/her area of jurisdiction.  The C-in-C holds no authority to command any single ship and is relegated to serving onboard Starbase Liberty or living onboard a ship during their term.  The C-in-C answers to Starfleet Command, the Director of Starfleet Operations, and is often called to Earth for meetings and summits.

Commanding Officer:

The Commanding Officer of Starbase Liberty is responsible for the overall well-being, security, and prosperity of those aboard Starbase Liberty and those living in the colony on Liberty II.  He/She directly answers to the Sector C-in-C, and Starfleet Command.  Typically, the commander of the Starbase is also considered the Captain of the Starbase's primary defensive ship, the USS Epimetheus. 

Executive Officer:

The primary role of the Executive Officer, or XO, is to assist the Commanding officer in the discharge of their duties.  The XO is a proven leader, and has received certification by Starfleet Command to be a command officer.  The XO is responsible for relations with the populace of Starbase Liberty and is specifically in charge of administrating the commerce that occurs onboard.  The XO is second-in-command of Starbase Liberty.

Assistant Executive Officer:

The Assistant XO is responsible for the overall preparedness of the crew of the Starbase and is also typically the briefing officer for most staff meetings.  The AXO typically will assist in whichever department their specialization training is in and often is put in charge of away missions and is third-in-command of Starbase Liberty.

Chief Diplomatic Officer:

This position is typically filled by a civilian with experience in multi-cultural negotiation and business.  The CDO, as a civilian holds no rank but his/her authority is widespread as they are responsible for overseeing any and all first-contact situations and is often put under enormous pressure to negotiate the end of conflicts between the Federation and other parties that become embroiled with it.

Command Master Chief:

The senior-most Master Chief onboard Starbase Liberty is considered a de facto officer and is one of the Commanding Officer's most trusted advisors on morale, crew welfare, and is often turned to because of their level of experience.  On a ship, the CMC is often called the Chief-of-the-Boat, but onboard Starbase Liberty, they are the Command Master Chief.  Their responsibilities include relaying information to the enlisted-men and to relay and execute the orders of the Officer cadre.

Captain's Yeoman:

The Commanding Officer's personal assistant.  Their responsibility is broad, and they could be doing anything from paperwork, to taking care of the commanding officer's children.  Oftentimes, the yeoman organizes the day and acts as an office manager for the commanding officer but sometimes they are called upon to act as the personal bodyguard for the commanding officer, as a result, they often served as security officers in the past.
