Assistant astrophysics officer

The assistant astrophysics officer was a position aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) in 2369 of an alternate timeline Jean-Luc Picard experienced while under cardiac arrest in that year.

When Q allowed Picard to experience a life with fewer risks taken – beginning in 2327 with the decision not to engage three large Nausicaans in a fight – he was brought back to that 2369, in which he was the Enterprise's assistant astrophysics officer, with a rank of lieutenant junior grade. Among his duties were the preparation of statistical analyses. Initially confused when he first began to experience this reality, he asked Worf to tell him his rank and position.
