I've nothing to add, except that I've always translated {Qu' vu'wI'} - 
literally "mission manager" - as "operations officer".  Not exactly sure 
what a {Qu' vu'wI'} does in Trek:  perhaps monitor boarding parties 
{tIjwI'ghom}, landing parties {Saqghom }, and shuttle craft {lupDujHom} 
missions (in case they need assistance at a moment's notice)?

N.B. This isn't the same as a {ya} "tactical officer" who seems to 
coordinate weapons and battle tactics.  IIRC, Worf was the Enterprise-D's 
{ya}, replacing Tasha Yar.
