Officers

Officers are companions who board your ship and increase skills and affiliations. You can access and interact with officers by opening the Officers interface and clicking on them.

Each Officer (except Mascots) has a detailed questline which can result in changes to the Officer's abilities. These questlines are some of the most demanding in the game, apart from the Ambitions quests themselves - each quest involves visiting many ports and spending many resources. Some of them also demand a permanent sacrifice of stat points. Once completed, the Officer typically gets promoted, and becomes a modified version of themselves with a larger bonus to one stat and a two-point bonus to Affiliations. However, other options are also possible, including the permanent disappearance of the Officer or the permanent death of the Captain.

Officers do not count as crew - they do not consume suppliers and cannot be affected by events that reduce your Crew.
