Commodores Stocker and Stone wear red shirts. Both are Starbase Commanders.
You saw the episode right?
Yes, Lt. Kyle in the animated series
Red shirt is a generic term for someone of the lower ranks. I thought you knew that.
You understand the threat posed by the borg, don't you?
Red shirt is a generic term for lower rank. I thought you people were acquainted with the Star Trek lingo.
No, actually it refers any member of the Security team or cannon fodder. They can be of any rank. It can also be used for members the Operations division.
Yeah. but I still think it was a poor tactic to gather all your ships in one location.
If they failed to stop them, then it wouldn't matter if there were any ships left, the Earth would have been assimilated. In fact it nearly was, if not for Picard's "Sleep Data, Sleep."
Stil it put a serious dent in their future ability to defend the entire Federation.
The way it looked, they were lucky they had that dormant state/self destruct kind of thing or they would have all been assimilated all the same. The cube was unstoppable.
It felt good while it lasted.
Good point. Maybe he was retired, not active duty, and they put him on active duty because they needed a command rank officer for the court martial board?
He was a civilian, wasn't he?
That has been known to happen. In WW I era armies, artillerymen were allowed to wear mustaches, while the infantry wasn't allowed to. More recently, in the navy officers were allowed to wear beards, but seamen and petty officers not allowed.
I wonder what all the other Federation planets thought about the whole fleet being sent to Earth to get wiped out, leaving all other planets with nothing-- if that was all they had.
We'd better get ready to be assimilated too, perhaps?

Maybe a nice welcome-to-the-neighborhood party.
Yes. The punchline is "A submarine".
That's the one!
I'd post the joke, but I don't want to get banished to Elba II.
I thought they closed the place after they cured the last ones.
