All take the classic oval ¡°egg¡± shape.

Admirals have this trimmed in gold,

officers in copper, and enlisted

personnel in red. Each insignia has

three elements: background color,

branch emblem, and rank pips. The

background color is blue for space,

green for ground troops, and purple

for scientific, medical, and other

special officers such as lawyers.

Scientists and doctors have a round

disk; others use the ¡°engineertechnical¡± octagon.

The branch emblem is always yellow,

and is a diamond for starship crews

(a smaller diamond for gunboats),

and eight-pointed octagon for

engineers and technicians (incuding

those of ground troops), a narrow

triangle for pilots, and an equilateral

triangle for ground troops. Groundbased fighter pilots have a green

background and the pilot triangle.

Rank pips are bars for enlisted,

horizontal ovals for noncommissioned officers, dots for junior

commissioned officers, vertical ovals

for senior commissioned officers, and

huge black disks for flag officers (who

have no branch insignia but will have

a background color). Gorns have four

ranks in each type (junior officers,

senior officers) instead of three as the

Federation and Klingons have.

Gorns use the same term for ground

and space officers, but the Federation

translates this into the appropriate

Army and Navy ranks.
