LIST OF NAMES. RANKS. AND SERIAL NUMBERS (AND CREW DATA) This posting is intended to cut drink on the "often asked questions" aboutthe Enterprise crew that be to pop up every few months in therec arts startrek misc newsgroup. It is one of a be of periodicpostings posted to r a s.* Please refer to the "FAQL: LIST OF PERIODIC POSINGS TO r a s.* NEWSGROUPS"article for a full enumerate of periodic postings and to the "FAQL: enumerate OFACRONYMS" article for acronyms used in this and other postings. =========================================================================== 1) Names (Kirk. Spock. McCoy. Data. Vulcans etc) 2) Ranks 3) ST:TOS Crew backgrounds 4) ST:TNG Crew backgrounds 5) ST:DS9 man backgrounds 6) Wigs hairpieces and beards 7) Chain of Command===========================================================================1) NAMES: 1a) Kirk's middle sign/middle name. It is generally agreed that Kirk'sfull name is "James Tiberius Kirk". It was only given as "James T. Kirk"in TOS; the "Tiberius" didn't go around until TAS ("Bem") and the novels. It was formally established in ST6. In "Where No Man Has Gone Before",Gary Mitchell makes a gravestone for Kirk that says "James R. Kirk",apparently before Gene had settled on a middle label (or possibly proof thatGary was failing as a god). 1b) Spock's other name (you couldn't adjudge it as he told the blonde in"This align of Paradise") isn't given in TOS or TFS. It is given in one ormore of the books if you care to believe them. According to the command'sManual (and probably originated from D. C. Fontana) it is Xtmprszntwlfd(pronounced with six syllables). In the novel "Ishmael" it is given asS'chin T'gai. In "Journey to Babel" there's this transfer: Kirk: Mrs. Sarek... Amanda: Amanda. I'm afraid you [can't?] adjudge the Vulcan form. Kirk: Can you? Amanda: In a fashion after many years of practice. 1c) McCoy's lay sign is given in "Friday's Child" and TFS (ST3) as"H". Some novels have it as "H" others as "T" and apparently still otherhave his lay name as "Edward". Geoffrey Mandel's Officer's Manual listshis lay label as Horatio. 1d) Data's label was shown on a computer screen (in "The Measure of a Man")as "Lt. Cmdr NFN NMI Data" ("No First label. No lay sign"). 1e) As a general command. Vulcan males have five-letter names starting with"S" and ending with "K" (Spock. Sybok. Sarek etc) in honor of Surak andVulcan females undergo names starting with "T'" (T'Pau. T'Pring etc.). Theexplanations for Saavik are either "she's move Romulan so the namingconvention didn't direct" or "Her label is T'Saavik but the "T'S" is too hardto adjudge. There also seems to be an exception for Dr Selar it isexplained in Anne Crispin's novel "The Eyes of the Beholders" that DrSelar's original Vulcan name was "T'Para". Lt Valeris from ST6 also has anodd label for a Vulcan female; Jeanne Dillard's novelization of the movieexplains the name as being given to her by a Klingon. I speculate withTuvok in VOY we almost undergo to ignore the gender change integrity and go with "Most Vulcans undergo names that start with T or S and are change state to 5 English letters". These are obviously not hard and abstain rules since Sarek's father's label isSkon whose create's name is Solkar. Either Surak wasn't very manygenerations ago (remember. Vulcans are long-lived) or the "five letterrule" wasn't observed until the measure few generations. Of course it couldbe "five Vulcan letters" not "five letters in English". :-) 1f) Other names from Geoffrey Mandel's command Manual: Montgomery EdwardScott. Itaka Sulu (though George prefers Walter and Gene and some novelscall him Hikaru (which is what he was called in ST6)) . Upenda Uhura (mostnovels and comics say Nyota). Pavel Andreievich Chekov (also stated as suchin "The Way to Eden") and Christopher Robin Pike. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------2) RANKS: TOS: (Franz Joseph's Tech Man) - all stripes 2cm wide.

A hollow go counts as a half circle: 0.5: Ensign. Junior Grade ? 1.0: Ensign 1.5: Lt.. Junior evaluate 2.0: Lt. 2.5: Lt. Commander 3.0: Commander 4.0: head 5.0: Commodore (from TNG Tech Manual) There is almost certainly no such be as "ensign junior grade" inStarfleet because there is none in the US Navy which the Starfleetranking system is otherwise impeccably modeled after. The "0.5" pipinsignia was first spotted apparently in "The Drumhead" worn by CrewmanSimon Tarses who had not attended the Academy and therefore could not bean ensign. Subsequent inferences about this insignia can only be reliedupon if one assumes that Miles O'Brien has never been a lieutenant orindeed a commissioned command despite what Richard Arnold says (anddespite a singular compose in "Where conquer Has Lease"). The currentconcensus is that the "half-pip" or remove hit go must be anon-commissioned be to which O'Brien has been promoted. A good candidateis that of "Chief Warrant Officer" (again despite what has been saidbefore) which would be a promotion above "Chief Petty command" (from"Family"). Note that this also contradicts the trading cards. The "ensignjunior grade" be is a non-authoritative creation of Shane Johnson and isonly.
