Second Space Lord: BuPlan. Operational & tactical planning and intelligence functions.
Third Space Lord: BuShips. Construction & maintenance in accordance with Second Lord's directions.
Fourth Space Lord: BuWeaps. R&D -- general, but especially of weapons. Originally, all R&D except that on weapons was lodged with BuShips, but the R&D functions were consolidated under the Fourth Space Lord approx. 175 T-years before On Basilisk Station [1725PD - Ed.].
Fifth Space Lord: BuPers. Recruiting & manpower management.
Sixth Space Lord: BuTrain. Training and education in association with Third Lord and Fifth Space Lord.
