Enlisted Personnel in
Star Trek: The Role Playing Game
The basic rules of Star Trek: The Role-Playing Game
assume all the player characters to be graduates of the Star Fleet
Academy and therefore to be officers. However, no military is 100%
officers, not even Starfleet. Most Starfleet personnel are enlisted or
petty officers (e.g. Chief Miles O'Brien from Star Trek: The Next
Generation was not an officer but was a Chief Petty Officer, many
of the "technicians" in the blue coveralls from the Classic Star Trek
were also probably enlisted personnel. Occasionally, someone was
referred to as Chief or as Technician 1st Class... these are enlisted
ranks... Chief Petty Officer and Petty Officer 1st Class respectively.)
Why would someone want to play an enlisted person instead of an officer?
On a smaller vessel, many department head or contact team positions will
be filled by senior grade enlisted personnel, also, as the Chief O'Brien
character shows, enlisted persons can make fine adjuncts to commissioned
characters. This system can also be used to create detailed NPC enlisted
persons.
