YELLOW ALERT   cancel Yellow Alert This relates to the period 2266 to 2373. 2266 equates to [TNG] Season 3; well into that year the [TNG] Seasons 1 and 2 uniforms were slightly amended. The amended uniforms endure for the rest of [TNG] i.e. up to and including 2370, a year before the [Voyager] series begins. This means that the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D crew carry on wearing the uniform even though a version new to tv viewers is seen in the next Star Trek series [DS9] and whose first two Seasons are aired at the same time as the last two Seasons of [TNG]; that new version is presented as simply a variant of the existing uniforms system. For the new [Voyager] series, no changes to the uniform were made and so the USS Voyager crew wear the same uniform variants as seen in the first two Seasons of [DS9]. However, a re-styled Starfleet emblem/combadge is introduced for [ST VII: Generations] and for the [Voyager] series and it is thus adopted by Starfleet from 2371. The new emblem/combadge appears in [ST VII: Generations], [DS9], [ST VIII: First Contact], [Voyager] of course, [ST IX: Insurrection] and [ST X: Nemesis].

SECURITY/ENGINEERING/OPERATIONS AND VARIANTS

SECURITY/ENGINEERING/OPERATIONS In the 2360's, for the first time, Federation starships have an officer known as the operations manager (with 'ops' being the common speech shorthand for 'operations'). The ops officer is responsible for the co-ordination of the various departmental functions aboard the starship, has a permanent station on the bridge, and wears the gold-coloured uniform worn by members of the security and engineering divisions. As operations manager on USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, Lt. Cmdr. Data wears a gold-coloured uniform. [TNG: Season 6: Rightful Heir]

PICTURE A [TNG: ?] - Dr Crusher, Riker, Worf, Data (mostly hidden), La Forge; this image is often used as a publicity shot without citing the episode source so, as I cannot remember the episode it comes from myself, I tried www.startrek.com which says it is from [TNG: Season 6: Timescape] but I know it is not; I will keep an eye open for the episode as I watch [TNG]

SECURITY/ENGINEERING/OPERATIONS VARIANT As with the other duty uniform variants of this style, the tunic features a seam that runs down the centre of the front which could be opened along the length. It allows the wear to vary the length of the collar or even to allow the tunic to hang open. chief engineer O'Brien [DS9: Season 2: ?]

SECURITY/ENGINEERING/OPERATIONS VARIANT (from 2371) This is the same as the security variant introduced in 2369 but worn with the new Starfleet emblem from 2371 onwards. Lt./Lt. Cmdr.

For the standard duty uniform for all departments, the grey garment worn beneath the jacket can be a sleeveless vest, short-sleeved top or a long-sleeved shirt.
