The trades keep the vast range of equipment and systems onboard functioning. This includes the maintenance, repair and upgrade of all systems. They are divided into two branches.
The Marine Engineering branch which is responsible for the float and move items such as the propulsion systems, and the Weapons Engineering branch which is responsible for the maintenance, repair and upgrade of the fight function.
