Star Trek uniforms are costumes worn by actors portraying personnel
from the fictitious organization Starfleet in the Star Trek science
fiction franchise. Costume design often changed between various
television series and films, especially those representing different
time periods, both for appearance and comfort. Deliberately mixing
styles of uniforms from the various series was occasionally used to
enhance the sense of time travel or alternative universes.The rank
system of the Star Trek universe resembles that of the United States
Navy and many Commonwealth of Nations navies, in contrast to other
science fiction franchises that use an army ranking system. In Star
Trek: The Original Series (TOS) and Star Trek: The Motion Picture,
ranks are indicated by sleeve stripes. While these were originally
planned to follow the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard model, to avoid an
overly flashy or militaristic look the pattern was modified. Thus a
Starfleet captain’s insignia resembles that of a naval lieutenant
commander, a Commander’s insignia resembles a naval lieutenant, and
so forth, down to an ensign who wears no sleeve insignia.In later
movies based on The Original Series, ranks are indicated by pins on a
shoulder strap and the left sleeve. These are unique symbols for each
rank like those worn universally by officers in all branches of the
U.S. Armed Forces.In most later television series, ranks are indicated
by varying numbers of gold or black dots (“pips†) or bars worn on
the uniform collar. These more closely follow the naval officer
pattern, with gold pips equating to a whole stripe and black pips
equating to a half stripe.
