  1. Here's a thought: With Janeway's promotion to Admiral and assignment at Starfleet Command, if Chakotay remained in Starfleet and Voyager remains in service, do you think he'd be promoted to Captain of Voyager?

    Read Homecoming and The Farther Shore. They cover that in the last chapter :)

  3. LaForge was "Chief Engineer", but he didn't hold the rank of chief.  Heck, all the senior officers on Trek are the "chief" of their department, aside from the Captain and 1st officer as they're in charge.  Anyway, when O'Brien became "Chief of Opperations" of DS9, he, essentially, had a job that was like a hybrid of LaForge and Data's job on the Enterprise.  Basically, O'Brien was the chief engineer of DS9, but officially called the "Chief of Opperations", thus being a senior officer.  Perhaps "Chief" is a rank used for some officers assigned to space stations?

    I'm not sure...I don't know all the fine points of the StarFleet chain of command, sorry! B)


  4. Well, I know what "Chief of Opperations" means, just like LaForge from TNG was the "Chief Engineer".  However, O'Brien was allways called chief once his rank-pip changed.  With this said, how come O'Brien got a special "chief" rank, and how does it fit into the rank structure?

    I think it may be that he's the Chief of a sub-division of Enginering. If I remember correctly, his department was working with Transporters, so he's in charge of Transporters, however, since it's a sub-division of Enginering he gets to report to LaForge and takes orders from him and stuff.

     

    I think. I hope I'm not confusing you!


  5. Chief is basically Chief of Opperations, or something like that. I'm not certain what the official explination is, but I think It's just saying that he has more responsibility and he's the head of a sub-division of Enginering or whatever.

     

    But I'm not sure...So don't be sure of what I just said B)
