Encyclopedia > Ranks and insignia of Starfleet
The emblem of Starfleet Command as of the Next Generation era.

Ranks and insignia of Starfleet are military titles and badges of office which appear in the science fiction universe of Star Trek. Such ranks and insignia form the hierarchy of Starfleet, the military and scientific exploration arm of the United Federation of Planets. The ranks and insignia of Starfleet are based on the historic titles used by the United States Navy of Earth.

Starfleet ranks and titles have evolved through both live action productions, official publications, and the fanon of the Star Trek Expanded Universe. The most official ranks established are those which appear in Star Trek films and television productions, with ranks appearing in publications from Star Trek producers considered “secondary”, but nevertheless still officially established Starfleet titles. Such forms the “canon ranks”, that is to say the ranks of Starfleet which are official insofar as the Star Trek series is considered. Fanon is a fact or ongoing situation in fan fiction stories related to a television program, book, movie, or video game that has been used so much by fan writers or among the fandom that it has been more or less established as having happened in the fictional world, but... The Star Trek Expanded Universe is a generic term to describe an extrapolation of events which occur in the Star Trek Universe outside the scope of the television series and feature films. ...


Star Trek science fiction publications, such as technical manuals and journals published by persons or companies affiliated with the series, are generally considered unofficial by series producers, but nevertheless some ranks appearing in unofficial sources are generally considered official in Star Trek (the most notable of which is the rank of Fleet Captain). This is due large in part to the connections which the authors of such sources have to the Star Trek series, including such figures as Michael Okuda (a production designer for many years on Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Pocket Books which maintains a monopoly on Star Trek publications. Fleet Captain is a rare military title that may be bestowed upon senior naval captains for a variety of reasons, the most common of which is to temporarly take command of more than one vessel. ... Michael Okuda is an artist who is best known for his work on Star Trek. ... Pocket Books is the name of a subdivision of Simon & Schuster publishers. ...


The least official of all ranks are those which appear in Star Trek fan literature, such as magazines and websites published by private persons with little or no affiliation with the Star Trek series. Such ranks are considered conjecture, yet occasionally may find their way into semi-official Star Trek sources (an example being the rank of Branch Admiral). Admiral McCoys shoulder board Branch Admiral is a fictional rank of Starfleet, in the universe of Star Trek. ...


The following is a compilation of the ranks and insignia of Starfleet to include official ranks from series productions, semi-official titles from Star Trek publications, and conjectured ranks from Star Trek fan publications.

Conjectured Admiral Insignia

In Star Trek: The Original Series, the highest insignia seen on camera was that of Commodore with Star Trek: The Motion Picture picturing one Rear Admiral. As such, no senior Admiral insignia has ever been verified from these two time frames, leaving Star Trek fans to speculate on how Admiralty insignia may appear in these eras of Star Trek.


The following are several variations of Admiralty insignia, as proposed in fanon literature of the Star Trek Expanded Universe. With the exception of Commodore and Rear Admiral, from Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek:The Motion Picture, no such insignia has ever been deemed offical by the producers of the Star Trek series, therefore making the insignia purely conjectural. Fanon is a fact or ongoing situation in fan fiction stories related to a television program, book, movie, or video game that has been used so much by fan writers or among the fandom that it has been more or less established as having happened in the fictional world, but... The Star Trek Expanded Universe is a generic term to describe an extrapolation of events which occur in the Star Trek Universe outside the scope of the television series and feature films. ...

Flag Officer rank information

Fleet Admiral

The rank of Fleet Admiral, apparently the highest commissioned rank in Starfleet, was first mentioned in Star Trek: The Original Series, in the episode "Space Seed" when Doctor Leonard McCoy, observing a dinner set for Khan Noonian Singh, commented that the ship must be expecting a Fleet Admiral for dinner. However, other than this one remark, an actual Fleet Admiral was never seen in the Original Series. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture a character named Fleet Admiral Nogura is mentioned briefly in dialouge, but again this character is never seen by the viewing audience. The starship Enterprise as it appeared on Star Trek Star Trek is a culturally significant science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s. ...

Fleet Admiral Nogura is a fictional character of the Star Trek universe who is mentioned in a brief dialouge segment in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. ...

Fleet Admiral Morrow

It was not until Star Trek III: The Search for Spock that an actual Fleet Admiral was seen on camera. Fleet Admiral Morrow, played by actor Robert Hooks, was the first Fleet Admiral of Star Trek to actually be seen by the viewing audience. In subsequent feature films, three more Fleet Admirals would make apperances, bringing the total Fleet Admirals of the Feature Films era to four, those being: Fleet Admiral Morrow (Star Trek III) This is a screenshot of a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or film. ...

  • Fleet Admiral Morrow (Star Trek III)
  • Fleet Admiral Cartwright (Star Trek IV and Star Trek VI)
  • Fleet Admiral Robert Bennett (Star Trek V)
  • Fleet Admiral and Commander-in-Chief (Star Trek VI)

An unnamed Fleet Admiral can also be seen in the opening act of Star Trek: Generations and there is at least one additional Fleet Admiral present in the briefing room shown in Star Trek VI. Neither character is given a name nor do the Fleet Admirals in question have any spoken dialouge.


In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the rank of Fleet Admiral became generic, often used to describe any Admiral appearing on the show. However, in Star Trek publications, the rank of Fleet Admiral was established with an insignia of five gold pips within a gold collar rectangle. The title as it appeared in most episodes opening credits. ...


Fan literature has speculated the existence of even higher ranks than Fleet Admiral to include such ranks as "Sector Admiral" and "Flag Admiral". None of these ranks has ever been declared official by the producers of Star Trek, with the highest rank mentioned in live action producers being that of Fleet Admiral. Sector Admiral is a ficticious military rank which has appeared in numerous science fiction sources both live action production and literature. ... Flag Admiral was a proposed rank of the United States Navy during the last year of World War II. As preparations grew for the invasion of Japan, the United States War Department proposed creating a six star Admiral rank equivalent to the former title of Admiral of the Navy. ...


Admiral

Admiral Komack, the first Admiral to appear in Star Trek

When Star Trek was first aired, the nature of the episode plots did not have the crew of the USS Enterprise coming into frequent contact with senior officers of the Starfleet Admiralty. The first such instance was in the episode "The Menagerie" when the viewing audience was introduced to Commodore Mendez. A full Admiral, however, was not seen on camera until the second season of Star Trek during the episode "Amok Time". The Admiral in question (named Admiral Komack) was then only visible via long range communications on a viewscreen and at such an angle where sleeve insignia was not visible. It is for this reason that, during the time frame of Star Trek: The Original Series, all insignia above the rank of Commodore remains unknown.

In the entire Original Series of Star Trek, a grand total of four Admirals appeared on camera, those being:

It was not until Star Trek: The Motion Picture that an actual Admiral's insignia was seen on camera, that being the insignia for Rear Admiral James T. Kirk. In the film, Kirk speaks of meeting with a more senior Admiral (a character named Fleet Admiral Nogura), but this person is never seen and the viewing audience is left to speculate how the senior Admiral insignia may appear. Amok Time is an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. ... The Trouble with Tribbles is an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, first broadcast on December 29, 1967. ... For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky is a third season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. ...

Fleet Admiral Nogura is a fictional character of the Star Trek universe who is mentioned in a brief dialouge segment in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. ...


In the next feature film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Kirk is the only Admiral seen in the entire film. Kirk's actual rank in the film is also questionable, as he is addressed simply as "Admiral", however publications regarding the film (as well as information from costume designers) indicates Kirk may have been a Vice Admiral or perhaps even still a Rear Admiral. It was not until later feature films that additional Admirals were seen on camera and the full scope of the "movie rank pins" was established. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Paramount Pictures, 1982; see also 1982 in film) is the second feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. ...

Rear Admiral Jameson

The first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was slow to introduce Admirals. With the exception of a cameo appearance by Leonard McCoy, in the pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint", an Admiral was not seen in the Next Generation series until Q impersonated one in the episode "Hide and Q". It should be noted that Q's false Admiral uniform was never again seen in any subsequent production of Star Trek.

Hide and Q is a first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, first broadcast November 23, 1987. ...


In the first season Next Generation episode "Too Short a Season", a 24th century Starfleet Admiral is at last seen on camera, in the person of Rear Admiral Mark Jameson. Jameson's apperance introduces the viewers to a strange form of insignia that did not last past the show's first season. ”Too Short a Season” is a first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, first broadcast February 8, 1988. ...


In the second season of the Next Generation series, as well as all subsequent productions, Admirals appear much more frequently with a simpler system of pip insignia worn within "rank boxes" on both collars of a uniform. The later series of Star Trek (Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Voyager) used the same insignia as the Next Generation with litte variance. Space station Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (ST:DS9 or STDS9 or DS9 for short) is a science fiction television series produced by Paramount and set in the Star Trek universe. ... The starship Voyager (NCC-74656), an Intrepid-class starship. ...

Vice Admiral Forrest

When Star Trek Enterprise debuted, the pilot of the series introduced the viewers to an Admiral in the very first episode establishing how the 22nd century Admiral insignia appears in the character of Vice Admiral Forrest. Later publications from the producers of the show established the complete system of Admiralty ranks in use during the time frame of Star Trek Enterprise.

Oddly enough, however, there appear to be more Admiral ranks than there are regular officer positions since the ranks of Lieutenant Commander and Lieutenant Junior Grade apparently do not appear in the Enterprise television series (although the episode "In a Mirror, Darkly (Part II)" mentions that Hoshi Sato will one day retire from Starfleet with the rank of Lieutenant Commander). Hoshi Sato, a character in the fictional Star Trek universe, is the communication officer aboard the starship Enterprise (NX-01) in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise. ...


Commodore

Commodore Mendez was the first Flag Officer of Star Trek

The rank of Commodore was often mentioned in Star Trek: The Original Series; however the title fell into disuse in the feature films and follow-on series. During Star Trek: The Original Series, a total of six characters appeared on camera as Starfleet Commodores: Commodore Mendez (Star Trek) This is a screenshot of a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or film. ...

Star Trek IV marked the only apperance of a Commodore in the Star Trek feature films

The 3rd Season of the Original Series displayed no further Commodores, although there were two characters identified as Admirals. A Starfleet Commodore is briefly seen in the Federation Council Chambers of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, but the later Star Trek television series have never had a Commodore appear on camera.

A first season episode of Star Trek:The Next Generation, entitled "Coming of Age", gave indication that by the time frame of the 24th century Commodore might no longer have been a rank of Starfleet. This is taken from a line of dialogue where Captain Jean-Luc Picard is told that he is to be promoted directly to the rank of Admiral and assume duties as Commandant of Starfleet Academy. Since promotion to Commodore is not mentioned, it may be assumed that the rank was no longer in service. This article is in need of attention. ... Jean-Luc Picard is a character in the Star Trek fictional universe, the captain of the USS Enterprise-D and the Enterprise-E. He was played by British actor Patrick Stewart in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and resulting films. ... The official logo of Starfleet Academy, circa 2370. ...


Some early publications, from the producers of Star Trek: The Next Generation, indicate that Commodore may still have existed during the time frame of the Next Generation series with the insignia conjectured to appear as five pips worn on a uniform collar. Later publications indicated that the rank of Commodore may have been denoted as a single rank pip insignia, enclosed within an Admiral "rank box", worn on both collars of a uniform. This theory, however, is contradicted in the Star Trek Encyclopedia when the one pip insignia is indicated as an Admiral (possibly a Rear Admiral Lower Half).


It can therefore be assumed, unless additional information is promulgated by Star Trek producers or through official sources, that subsequent to the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation the rank of Commodore ceased to exist.

Officer rank information

Fleet Captain

Fleet Captain
Garth of Izar

There have only been two confirmed Fleet Captains shown in the entirety of Star Trek, both from the Original Series. Garth of Izar and Christopher Pike are the only Star Trek characters to have ever held the rank of Fleet Captain and neither of these characters was shown wearing Fleet Captain insignia. Star Trek publications, however, have established Fleet Captain as being a rank between Captain and Commodore with an insignia of three sleeve braids.

During the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the rank of Fleet Captain was conjectured to consist of five gold pips worn as collar insignia. This was never deemed official by the show's producers, however, and since a Fleet Captain never appeared on camera during the time frame of the Next Generation series, the viewing audience was left to speculate. An episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, entitled "Inquisition", may have shown a modern Fleet Captain insignia, that being four collar pips worn with a gold bar base. The insignia was worn by Section 31 Operative Luther Sloan. In the episode, Sloan was referred to as "Deputy Director".

There is ample evidence that Fleet Captain may be an honorary title, bestowed upon highly senior and successful Captains. This would explain instances where regular Captains have been shown promoted to the Starfleet Admiralty, apparently skipping the rank of Fleet Captain. In such cases, it can be assumed that Fleet Captain is not a prerequisite for promotion but rather a special rank bestowed under certain circumstances.


Captain

In all, there have been six major characters portrayed as Captains in Starfleet (Archer, Pike, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway) plus four supporting roles (Spock, Scott, Sulu, and William Riker)

The rank of Captain is perhaps best known in Star Trek as the title held by the commander of a starship and the rank has been held by several main characters of the Star Trek series. The very first Captain of Star Trek was Christopher Pike, who appeared as Commander of the Starship Enterprise during the unaired pilot "The Cage". The Star Trek: The Animated Series would later state Pike was preceded by another Captain, named Robert April, however April’s existence as the first Captain of the Enterprise has never been declared official by Star Trek producers (although it is generally accepted as such by fans).

Captain Christopher Pike appeared in Star Trek wearing a single rank stripe, the same as all other officers onboard the USS Enterprise. This gives rise to the interesting theory that Pike may have been a Captain in title only, but was actually a Commander or possible even a Lieutenant in rank. Gene Roddenberry would later state that Pike was indeed a Captain and that his generic rank insignia was an effort to demonstrate that all crewmembers of the Enterprise were astronauts first, and officers second; therefore specific rank insignia was unimportant. This idea did not catch on in later Star Trek incarnations, with the next Captain of the Enterprise, the famous James T. Kirk, wearing distinctive Captain insignia separating him from the rest of the crew.

With the exception of the Original Series episode “Court Martial”, the only other time a Captain has appeared while not commanding a starship was in the Next Generation episode “The Measure of a Man”. The Captain in question, Captain Louvois, was also the only staff officer Captain to appear in Star Trek clarifying that one need not be Captain of a starship to hold the rank of Captain in Starfleet.

Commander

The rank of Commander was established early in Star Trek: The Original Series but was not actually held by a character until the 3rd season of the program. Mr. Spock, who had worn the insignia for Commander throughout the Star Trek series, was not actually referred to as a Commander until the mid third season. Prior to this time, he was spoken of as a Lieutenant Commander although his insignia was that of Commander.

Commander Uhura

Spock was the only full Commander to appear in Star Trek: The Original Series, however he was joined in the rank by Leonard McCoy and Montgomery Scott in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In subsequent feature films, Commander became the "terminal rank" of several major characters including Uhura, Pavel Chekov, Christine Chapel, and Janice Rand. Keeping such characters at the rank of Commander prevented them from being "promoted off the show" thus allowing them to continue making screen appearances as part of a single crew. The notable exceptions to this were the characters of Spock and Montgomery Scott who were promoted from Commander to Captain yet remained serving under Captain Kirk. One may assume this is similar to the practice onboard modern day U.S. aircraft carriers which have several Captains serving in various roles under a single Captain who commands the ship.

The rank of Lieutenant Commander is one of the oldest in Star Trek tracing its origins to the character of Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell seen in the Original Series pilot episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The Original Series characters of Montgomery Scott, Leonard McCoy and Mr. Spock also held the rank of Lieutenant Commander although Spock’s character can be seen wearing the insignia of a full Commander.

Lieutenant Commander Scott

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, although not referred to in the dialogue, the characters of Uhura and Sulu become Lieutenant Commanders as is evidenced by an examination of the Motion Picture era sleeve stripes. A Lieutenant Commander does not appear again until Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, with the appearance of the character of Valeris. Valeris is referred throughout the film as a Lieuenant, but post production references indicate that Valeris was a Lieutenant Commander and can be seen wearing the appropriate rank pin.

Lieutenant

"Number One", the first Lieutenant to appear in
Star Trek

Lieutenant is perhaps the most common rank to appear in the entire Star Trek series. Throughout nearly forty years of production, the rank of Lieutenant has been held by several major characters and dozens of extras. The rank can trace its origins to the original pilot episode "The Cage" where the Executive Officer of the USS Enterprise, the mysterious "Number One", holds the rank of Lieutenant along with a very young Lieutenant Spock.

Lieutenant Junior Grade

The rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade was originally one of the rarest ranks of Star Trek as it was not until the time frame of Star Trek: The Next Generation that a substantial number of characters held the position. The first Lieutenant Junior Grade seen on camera, as well as the only one to appear in the entire scope of Star Trek: The Original Series, was Lieutenant J.G. Tormolen who appeared in the episode "The Naked Time". In the episode, the insignia for Lieutenant Junior Grade was established as a broken "hash mark" rank braid.

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade ceased to exist as several pre-production publications established that there was no rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade and the former insignia for the position was now the insignia for the rank of Ensign. This was, perhaps, a means to distinguish Ensigns in the Motion Picture from Crewman, since during the Original Series time frame Ensigns wore no insignia whatsoever.

In the film, however, Saavik was simply referred to as "Lieutenant" and some publications from the time of the film specify that she was not a Lieutenant Junior Grade but rather a full Lieutenant. It was not until the establishment of the full Lieutenant rank pin, viewed briefly in later feature films and in the Next Generation series, that Saavik’s rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade was confirmed.

After the airing of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Lieutenant Junior Grade became a much more commonly held rank with two of the main Next Generation characters (Geordi La Forge and Worf) holding the rank in the show’s first season. In addition, with the much more simpler "pip rank system”, determining which characters were Lieutenant Junior Grades became a much less complicated process.

Information from the prequel series Star Trek Enterprise indicates that in this earlier period of Starfleet history, Lieutenant Junior Grade did not yet exist as a rank. This is contradicted, however, when in the episode "Divergence" an unnamed helm officer is reportedly referred to as a Lieutenant Junior Grade. Most official sources regarding the Enterprise series indicate that Lieutenant Junior Grade (and Lieutenant Commander) do not exist as officer ranks and the statement from "Divergence" may have been a plot error or an indication of the point at which Lieutenant Junior Grade became a rank of Starfleet for the first time.

As an entry level rank in the U.S. Navy, a typical Ensign can expect to spend 2 to 3 years "time in grade" before promotion to the rank of Lieutenant (junior grade). It is noted that Harry Kim spent his seven years aboard Voyager as an Ensign, and both Hoshi Sato and Travis Mayweather are seen wearing Ensign's insignia in the final episode of Enterprise, suggesting that they remained at that rank for nearly ten years. Fan apologists have suggested that the case of Kim was owing to the isolation of Voyager in the Delta Quadrant, while the suggested lack of a Lieutenant (junior grade) rank in Enterprise may explain Sato and Mayweather.

Until the time frame of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Starfleet rank of Warrant Officer was never mentioned or discussed and it is not known if the rank existed prior to the late 24th century. The only Warrant Officer who has ever been seen in Star Trek was Kosinski, in the Next Generation episode "Where No One Has Gone Before". Kosinski wore a type of rectangular collar insignia that was never again seen in Star Trek. Later publications and literature indicate that Kosinki was a Warrant Officer, however due to his attitude in the episode (as well as his highly disrespectful demeanour towards commissioned officers) many have assumed he was a civilian granted a warrant rank due to the nature of his assignment.

While the rank of Warrant Officer was never again seen after the Next Generation episode, publications from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine would establish a set of Warrant Officer insignia. In addition, the first two seasons of Deep Space Nine gave speculation that the character of Miles O'Brien was in fact a Warrant Officer, however later seasons made it clear that O'Brien was a Senior Chief Petty Officer. It is for this reason that, other than Kosinki, no Warrant Officer has ever appeared in Star Trek.

Enlisted rank information

When Star Trek was first created, Gene Roddenberry allegedly had stated that, within Starfleet, there were no enlisted ranks since all personnel onboard a starship were trained astronauts and thus had the education required of officers. This comment, however, is quickly contradicted by characters which appear in the first pilots of Star Trek, such as the Captain’s Yeoman, who bear titles of enlisted positions. Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek Eugene Wesley Roddenberry (August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991), was born in El Paso, Texas, USA, spent his boyhood in Los Angeles, California, is best known as the creator of the science fiction television series Star Trek, and was one of the first... U.S. Space Shuttle astronaut Bruce McCandless II using a manned maneuvering unit. ...


The question of enlisted rank insignia is largely unanswered in the early days of Star Trek, due most significantly to the fact that no enlisted Starfleet member was ever shown wearing rank insignia of any kind.

Rank stripe for Chief Petty Officer, seen briefly in the pilot episode The Cage

The one exception to this was a bridge officer, seen briefly in the unaired pilot Star Trek: The Cage. In the pilot episode, a communications technician (referred to as "Chief") is shown wearing a modified officer rank stripe. This stripe, however, is unique to the pilot episode.

During the time frame of Star Trek: The Original Series, several enlisted Starfleet members are shown on camera however none of these persons wear any type of insignia.

Within the Star Trek feature films, enlisted personnel first make a brief appearance in Star Trek: The Motion Picture with a small number of extras addressed as "Chief", "Petty Officer", and "Crewman". The characters wear a simple version of insignia, that being a pattern of coloured triangles displayed on shoulder tabs. The one confirmed Chief Petty Officer in the film, CPO Janice Rand, displays a hollow gold square centred on a shoulder strap. Ordinary crewman who appear in the film wear no rank insignia.

A Petty Officer of
ST: The Motion Picture

With the debut of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, a new uniform and insignia pattern was introduced and for the first time an enlisted uniform was established separate from the uniform worn by officers. This uniform, commonly referred to as the "space cadet jumper" was originally seen worn by Starfleet cadets and it is not until Star Trek III: The Search for Spock that the enlisted jumper is seen worn by actual enlisted personnel, that is crew members of the starship Excelsior. (Cadets and enlisted personnel wear the same uniform; the collar and cuff trim is a different colour - red for cadets, dark blue/black for enlisted.) Based on information in Star Trek III, a pattern of enlisted insignia emerges for the feature films after Star Trek II. Enlisted personnel are shown to wear a variety of coloured shoulder tabs which would seem to indicate their seniority as Petty Officers, with regular crewmen wearing bare black shoulder tabs.

CPO Janice Rand

Under this system, a gold tab would indicate an engineering petty officer, a grey tab operations, and a blue tab would denote membership in the science department. If this system is accepted, enlisted personnel in the feature films would have no rank insignia much like their Original Series counterparts. The Star Trek Encyclopedia attempts to explain this by providing rank insignia pins for Crewman and Petty Officer, however these pins are considered apocryphal since the feature film enlisted uniforms do not display rank pin insignia.

With the exception of Janice Rand in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, no Chief Petty Officers are ever seen in the feature films. Publications by the film producers indicate that, subsequent to Star Trek II, Chief Petty Officers wear officer uniform jackets (minus gold trim) with shoulder pins similar to the well known officer versions. This would correlate with uniform regulations of the United States Navy, where Chief Petty Officers wear officer uniforms with CPO insignia. The United States Navy (USN) is the branch of the United States armed forces responsible for naval operations. ...

A Crewman of
ST: The Next Generation

When Star Trek: The Next Generation was first aired, enlisted personnel were again a very ambiguous subject. Apart from occasional dialogue addressing an extra as "Crewman", no set of enlisted ranks or insignia was established in the first two seasons of the Next Generation. By the third season, the character of Miles O'Brien had been developed into the first recurring enlisted role since Yeoman Janice Rand of the Original Star Trek series. The rank insignia worn by O’Brien was confusing, however, in that he was often addressed as "Chief", but appeared to wear the insignia of a Lieutenant (in one episode he is actually addressed as "Lieutenant").

By the fifth season of the Next Generation series, a system of rank insignia for enlisted personnel had at last been established. Such insignia was actually identical to officer pips, with a variation in the number of pips displayed depending on an enlisted member’s status as a Petty Officer, Chief Petty Officer, or the higher CPO ranks. The rank pips in the Next Generation series also were displayed in silver and gold with silver worn by officers and gold for the enlisted ranks. Later Star Trek productions would eliminate this gold/silver distinction and establish gold pips as the standard insignia for all grades.

Miles Edward O'Brien

In the first seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, there were no established enlisted ranks in use. Miles O'Brien, whose character had crossed over from Star Trek: The Next Generation, now wore a single collar pip and was referred to variously as "Chief of Operations", "Chief", and some scripts and publications indicated his character was a Warrant Officer. The novelisation of the episode "Emissary", refers to O'Brien by a never-before-heard rank known as "Ensign Junior Grade".

In the fourth season of Deep Space Nine, the character of Miles O'Brien was the first enlisted character of Star Trek who was addressed as a recognisable enlisted title and given an insignia which was clearly established as an enlisted rank. From this point on, Miles O'Brien was referred to as Senior Chief Petty Officer with the dialogue of Deep Space Nine making it clear that he was an enlisted member of Starfleet. The insignia worn by O’Brien was the basis for the first complete enlisted rank insignia pattern shown in Star Trek.


Star Trek Voyager did not address the question of enlisted ranks nor was any version of enlisted insignia seen on camera during the production of the show, although several minor and extra characters are often addressed as "Crewman".


Due to the plot of Star Trek Voyager, it can perhaps be assumed that the ship has very few enlisted crew members with the majority of the ship manned by Starfleet officers and provisional Maquis personnel.

Two Crewman of Star Trek Enterprise
Two Crewman of
Star Trek Enterprise

Within the time frame of Star Trek Enterprise, enlisted personnel are often seen and addressed by such titles as "Chief" and "Crewman". Prior to the release of the Season 1 DVDs, enlisted insignia was small and difficult to read onscreen, but the greatly enhanced picture quality of the DVDs makes it possible to clearly see this insignia. Star Trek Enterprise Crewman This is a screenshot of a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or film. ... Star Trek Enterprise Crewman This is a screenshot of a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or film. ...


Examination of the Enterprise DVDs reveals enlisted rank denoted by a small Starfleet arrowhead symbol with varying numbers of straight lines directly to its left, the number of lines presumably denoting different enlisted grades. As is known from other Star Trek series, enlisted ranks extend to Chief Petty Officer, with the Earth Starfleet possibly also maintaining the ranks of Senior Chief and Master Chief Petty Officer. To date, however, no character holding these ranks has appeared on the show nor have these two senior enlisted ranks been mentioned in live action dialogue.


Enlisted rates

It should be noted that Starfleet enlisted ranks do not take into account Enlisted rates. Enlisted rates are titles that enlisted personnel hold, depending upon their career field, and to which they are typically addressed in verbal correspondence.


An example would be a Petty Officer Second Class, who holds the rate of Yeoman, referred to as "Yeoman Second Class". Yeoman is an antiquated term for farmers, tradesmen and other members of the early English middle class. ...


The concept of Starfleet Enlisted Rates is widely unexplored and there are very few references to enlisted rates in the feature films or television series. The following is a list of the only confirmed Starfleet enlisted rates which have been mentioned in the dialogue of Star Trek live action productions.

Enlisted Rate     Production     Episodes     Characters

Starfleet Cadet Pips as seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The First Duty"

The rank of Cadet was first established in Star Trek: The Original Series through dialogue referring to Starfleet Academy. Two Starfleet Cadets, albeit illusions/recreations, were seen in the Original Series being a cadet in Captain Pike’s Orion slave girl dream (“The Menagerie”) , and the recreation of Cadet Finnegan seen in the episode “Shore Leave”. In both cases, the cadets were shown wearing a silver grey tunic without any rank insignia.

Starfleet Cadets did not appear again until Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the film, cadets wore a “space cadet jumper” with red tunics and red shoulder tabs. An oddity was that the Cadets in Star Trek II referred to themselves as “Midshipman”, contradicting earlier information that Starfleet Academy students were known as Cadets.

It is possible, however, that the Starfleet Academy students in Star Trek II were senior cadets, most likely fifth year or graduate level students, given the advanced nature of their training.


In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the rank of Cadet was firmly established as the title held by Starfleet academy students.


It was not until the episode “Allegiance”, however, that a Starfleet Cadet was actually seen. The cadet in question, albeit an impostor, wore a modified Starfleet uniform without any insignia. In the episode “The First Duty”, the viewing audience sees Starfleet Academy for the first time since Star Trek II and a system of Cadet rank pips is established.


The pips seen in the episode "The First Duty" are deemed to be the official cadet insignia for future series and programs, however it is of interest that cadets seen in Star Trek Deep Space Nine do not wear this insignia. The cadets in question may have been wearing field uniforms without insignia or this could be a costume error on the part of the Deep Space Nine producers.


Wesley Crusher's Uniform

Wesley Crusher's special uniform
Wesley Crusher's special uniform

The uniform worn by Wesley Crusher, serving as an “Acting Ensign” in Season 2 and 3 of the Next Generation series, is an oddity in that the uniform was never explained nor has any other character in a subsequent episode or series of Star Trek worn a similar Starfleet uniform. Public Photograph released by Paramount Pictures in 1990. ... Public Photograph released by Paramount Pictures in 1990. ... Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher Wesley Crusher is a character on the science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. ...


Wesley Crusher’s uniform appears as a light grey tunic, with a sweater like shoulder piece, that is worn without any identifying insignia except a standard communication pin. The producers of Star Trek admitted in later years that this uniform was designed along the lines of a “Starfleet West Point” look and was simply created to give Wesley a more military look, thus gearing his character away from the boy-like child character seen in the first season.


Based on the limited information provided, one possible explanation of Wesley’s uniform is that the grey tunic was a sort of “junior youth” uniform similar to the present day Sea Cadets or the Cadets of Junior Naval ROTC. Another explanation is that the uniform is indeed a established Starfleet uniform, possible an Officer Cadet or junior Midshipman jacket. The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is an organization sponsored by the Navy League of the United States. ... The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is a training program of the United States armed forces present on college campuses to recruit and educate commissioned officers. ...


The character of Wesley Crusher was later promoted, via field commission, to full Ensign and from that point wore a standard Starfleet uniform with Ensign insignia. Upon his acceptance to Starfleet Academy, Wesley’s field commission as Ensign was apparently revoked and he began wearing the standard uniform of a Cadet.


Provisional Ranks

Starfleet provisional ranks as seen in

Provisional ranks were first introduced in Star Trek: Voyager when several civilian members of a Maquis crew were appointed as officers onboard the Federation Starfleet Voyager. Star Trek Voyager provisional ranks (Created by Wikipedia User Husnock) I, the creator of this image, hereby release it into the public domain. ... Star Trek Voyager provisional ranks (Created by Wikipedia User Husnock) I, the creator of this image, hereby release it into the public domain. ... The starship Voyager (NCC-74656), an Intrepid-class starship. ... In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Maquis were a resistance movement made mostly of humans that refused to give up the planets that they lived on after they were ceded to the Cardassians as part of the treaty to end the war between the Federation and the Cardassians. ...


In the first two seasons of Voyager, it was unclear whether or not the insignia worn by the Maquis was a version of Starfleet insignia or paramilitary insignia of the Maquis. Later seasons of Voyager, however, gave evidence that the Maquis officers, seen wearing the new insignia, had been granted provisional Starfleet commissions and were considered equivalent to Starfleet officers.


Since the close of the Star Trek Voyager television series, several Star Trek publications have confirmed that the "provisional rank insignia", seen throughout the Voyager television series, were standard Starfleet insignia for civilians who had been granted officer responsibilities and held appointments as temporary Starfleet officers.


Alternate and conjectural ranks

Some Star Trek publications and fan literature have offered additional ranks which have not been mentioned in official publications or spoken of in live action productions. In addition, a number of unoffical sources have offered alternative insignia for several Starfleet ranks. The following are examples of conjectural and alternate insignia versions.

Qwika - Starfleet (1183 words)
Starfleet's early history was left obscure until the series Star Trek: Enterprise demonstrated that an Earth Starfleet had been operating prior to the founding of the Federation for at least 10 years, as Starfleet conducted the Warp 2 and 3 tests and several high-ranking officers referred to graduating from Starfleet Academy.
Starfleet's Academy is located in the Presidio of San Francisco, a park on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, with some buildings being further inland.
Starfleet ranks and insignia are similar to those used by the United States Navy.
Starfleet Information (1204 words)
In the Star Trek fictional universe, Starfleet is the military defense, research, diplomacy, and exploration force of the United Federation of Planets (UFP) with – as of the late 24th century – hundreds of starships and starbases at its disposal.
Starfleet has been shown to handle diplomatic, scientific, and military missions, although their main mandate seems to be one of peaceful exploration in the search of sentient life.
In the early years of Starfleet, as seen in Star Trek: Enterprise, Starfleet's mission is purely exploration and is not military in any sense except for weapons designed for defensive capabilities until the retrofitting of the Enterprise and the incorporation of MACOs after the Xindi attack on Earth.
