Rank & Uniforms

Division Colors

Within Starfleet, there exists four divisions of personnel, which handle all possible allotted tasks.

Red indicated Command, Tactical and CONN. These were commanders, like COs and XOs, or administrative personnel, yeomen. They were also CONN and Flight Control officers. Tactical Officers also wore this colour, with the Chief Tactical Officer posted on the Bridge.

White indicated Tactical CONN. This was where the Starfleet Fighter Pilots and Officers belonged; in the newly formed Aerospace Command division where space aviation and military/tactical knowledge went hand in hand. The Tactical CONN department worked very closely with both the CONN and Tactical departments.

Gold indicated Engineering, Operations and Security. These were those who built, configured, alloted, and repaired ship's systems. Security handled security on board, ranging from crowd control, the Brig and a number of related issues.

Teal indicated Science , Medical and Counselling. These were the nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and orderlies of the Sickbay. They also analyse scientific data, and preform experiments.

Duty Uniforms

Like all ships of Starfleet, the USS Theurgy had a specific dress code for on-duty officers. As of 2380, the following was the USS Theurgy’s uniform code. The standard uniform worn by all crew while on duty aboard the Theurgy. The uniform was based off the last two seasons of DS9 with a few differences and additions. The standard duty uniform was a three piece ensemble consisting of pants, colored undershirt (department specific color), and jacket. An optional skirt was permitted for female crew if they wished.

Additional Uniforms

In addition to the standard uniform, several special purpose general duty uniforms existed. Civilian technical staff in the Engineering and Operations departments could wear a technician's jumpsuit as required by their job description.

Medical staff, regardless of rank, were permitted to wear a lab coat as required for their job. They also had surgical scrubs that they would wear during surgery. Counseling Staff, when not on bridge duty, could wear civilian clothing. When on bridge duty, Counseling staff are expected to wear the standard blue uniform of Medical/Sciences.

Tactical CONN personnel had an exosuit that functioned as a low-profile EVA suit. Their survivor mentality generated some off duty tendencies as well, like wearing matching flight jackets, necklaces, or hoodies that bolstered their team spirit. (See page Tactical CONN).

Cadet uniforms were similar in all respects to standard issue uniforms except that the uniform was a grey color with their departmental color worn on the uniform shoulders and a stripe around the wrist of the jacket. Cadets were normally expected wear the standard style uniform unless directed otherwise by their supervisor.

Exercise Uniforms

Starfleet has also developed a special purpose exercise uniform for use by crew while undergoing physical training or other strenuous physical activities. These are permitted to worn anytime a crew member is off duty, or is on duty and undergoing physical training. Outside of PT, this uniform is not to be worn while on duty.

Dress Uniforms

Official functions both on and off-board ship was expected of Starfleet crew and special purpose formal attire had been developed for this. A formal jacket was designed to be worn in place of the duty jacket when in attendance at formal events. Enlisted personnel wore a special purpose grey formal uniform for such occasions. As with the duty uniforms, a skirt was allowed to be worn by female crew.

Rank

The Starfleet ranking system was broken up into four, in this descending rank:

• Line Officers
• Warrant officers
• Non-Commissioned officers
• Enlisted

There were also provisional officers, which had earned a field promotion aboard a ship or a starbase. Aside from rank, all officers also held a position in a department, which could be said to be his or her 'job'.

Line Officers

If you decide to become a line officer, you will spend four years at the Academy, receiving a Bachelor's degree with a major relevant to what division you choose to go into. After four years at the Academy, you either pass or fail. If passing, the player will be promoted to Ensign. Officers doing exceptionally will be promoted directly to Lieutenant Junior Grade.

Warrant Officers

These are previous NCOs who wish to further their career. Upon reaching the rate of Senior Chief Petty Officer, a player can switch, and become a Warrant Officer. Warrant Officers are specialists in sub-departments of a starship such as Transporter Technicians and Holo-technicians. These officers may or may not have gone through Academy courses, but are generally officers that have gone through normal education and specialized themselves in a field. They have no control over the enlisted crewmen or officers with few exceptions.

Non-Commissioned Officers

If you choose the Non-Commissioned Officer [NCO] path, you would stay in Starfleet Boot Camp for six months as a Crewman Recruit, learning the ropes in a more simple way than line officers, with a course emphasis relevant to your division. NCOs, one making the rank of Chief Petty Officer, can then transfer to officer status, and become an Ensign.

Provisional Officers

In difficult times it has been found a necessity to grant civilians or crew members of other militaries, ranks that would otherwise be considered official within Starfleet. Currently these ranks are placed upon those that ally to Starfleet in some form or manner for whatever reason that the Commanding Officer of the ship that is available finds adequate. Provisional Officers have special rank insignias that differ from the normal pips that a Starfleet Officer would wear in his collar (see the rank insignias the former Marquis officers wore in Star Trek: Voyager).

Civillian Personnel

Not all members of the crew hold a Starfleet Rank, but may rather be civilian expertise in certain fields - filling functions of the ship where Starfleet training is not required. Examples are waitresses/waiters of the Ship Lounge (named Below Deck on the USS Theurgy), the Chef of the mess hall. Also, professors in certain scientific fields may not belong to the Science Department of Starfleet.

Chain of Command

Aboard the Theurgy, a specific Chain of Command is followed. Below you can find the command structure of the Starfleet of the United Federation of Planets. All ranks are followed by this leadership, with the commissioned officers taking the lead in the ranks in the first column.
