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. Occassionally, 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 commisioned characters. This system can also be used to create detailed NPC enlisted persons.
