Starfleet Ranks (23rd Century)
This period in Starfleet's rank system went through a number of phases. Each phase worked around the braid principle, but utilised the braids in different ways. The later uniforms used a lot more detail in the braiding.
Division Colours
The division of Starfleet that an individual officer or crewman served within during this period was denoted by the colour of the entire top half of their uniform, as well as by the insignia found within the Starfleet delta patch on their left breast.
Division Name | Division Colour | Division Name | Division Colour | Division Name | Division Colour |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Command/Helm/Navigation | Engineering/Communications/Security | Science/Medical | |||
Command/Helm/Navigation | Engineering/Communications/Security/Administration | Science/Medical |
Rank Braid Chart
The rank system of Starfleet into the 23rd Century recognised the need for a more complex officer rank structure after the merging of the various individual militaries of the Federation's membership, and as such is the first to introduce some ranks found amongst Earth's ancient navies, after they were excluded from the 22nd Century rank system; Lieutenant (Junior Grade) and Lieutenant Commander.
The 2260s also saw the expansion of the enlisted ranks, and the re-introduction of warrant officers.
