The two forward stations on the bridge of a Galaxy-class starship. Ops was usually on the left, with conn on the right
The flight control officer, also known as conn, conn officer, or astrogation plotter, was the crewmember on a Federation starship assigned the duty of piloting the vessel. This position combined the roles of the navigator and helmsman used previously. The term "conn" was also used to refer to the flight control station itself. (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
In 2371, the USS Voyager lost its astrogation plotter when the ship was brought to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker. A replacement was required when the ship began its course back to the Alpha Quadrant. (VOY: "Parallax")
During the rewrite of Tuvok's Insurrection Alpha holoprogram, B'Elanna Torres suggested that "there is room in every good story for a little bit of passion." Tom Paris agreed, saying that "you know, maybe you're on to something. I could add a steamy love scene between the Starfleet conn officer and the Maquis engineer." Torres sarcastically responded, "Oh, that's realistic." (VOY: "Worst Case Scenario")
