"In the era regularly depicted in Star Trek: The Original Series, red uniforms were worn by members of the operations division. The duties they normally performed were in security, engineering, or other Support Services (such as communications officers, administrators and yeomen) aboard starships and starbases. Of these, the security personnel were quite expendable, because the Security And Tactical Division was an inherently high-risk assignment. TOS: \"The Changeling\" and \"The Apple\" , in TOS Season 2, both featured four security redshirts dying in each episode. \"The Changeling\" has the most anonymity involved; all but one of the redshirts that die are unnamed, the other being Carlisle. (The Nomad probe, after its merger with the Tan Ru probe, also \"killed\" Mr. Scott, but was kind enough to restore him at Kirk's request.) In \"The Apple,\" Kaplan, Marple, Hendorff, and Mallory were all on one security team, killed one-by-one by the dangers of Gamma Trianguli VI. In \"Obsession\" , the dikironium cloud creature kills three security guards that are shown, all in red shirts, including Ensign Rizzo. One redshirt, however, is lucky enough to be transported to the Enterprise in critical condition. (The creature also kills one crewman aboard the ship, but the precise color of his shirt is never shown.) One of the vampire cloud's victims does not quite count \u2013 Mr. Leslie would have been a fourth redshirt killed in the outing, but a mention of him surviving was cut from the episode's final edit. He clearly appears in later episodes, so it is probable that he either has an identical twin brother, perhaps even two identical triplet brothers or three identical quadruplet brothers, or that he did indeed survive the attack. In \"By Any Other Name\" , the first female redshirt to die was Yeoman Leslie Thompson. (The infamous \"Get A Life\" sketch from when William Shatner hosted Saturday Night Live makes her being reduced to a polyhedral shape, which then gets crushed, thereby killing her, one of its jokes.) TOS: \"Where No Man Has Gone Before\" is the first to feature a redshirt and has the most associated deaths; twelve crew people were lost, nine of whom died instantly at the galactic barrier, and three more of the twelve victims perished in events at Delta Vega. We saw only the latter three die on screen, but we know that none of them were technically redshirts, as there were no red uniforms of the design they used in that episode, reused from TOS: \"The Cage\" (which, itself, featured three off-screen deaths). The operations division was wearing beige (probably described officially as \"sand\") at this point. TOS: \"The Tholian Web\" showed the USS Defiant crew dead, with much being redshirts, making it the only non-Enterprise ship to showcase redshirts. None of the officers were really killed in Star Trek: The Animated Series, but Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced a new twist to the \"redshirt\" lore, as the uniform colors switched and operations division wore the gold, or rather bronze, uniforms while the command division took on the red shirts. They also became likely to die; a theme of crew deaths was dominated by the continuous loss of their flight controller. Lieutenant Torres probably survived TNG: \"Encounter at Farpoint\" , but the TNG era lost Haskell, Monroe, Dern, Nell Chilton, Hawk, and Branson. Non-Enterprise crew redshirts hardly fared any better, demonstrating an alarming propensity for being killed, possessed and/or otherwise coming to bad ends. Notable examples included Captain Tryla Scott, Commander Dexter Remmick, and the entire Senior Admiralty at Starfleet Command, who were taken over by alien parasites in \"Conspiracy\" . Admiral Mark Jameson was killed by a de-aging medicine overdose he administered to himself in \"Too Short a Season\" , Donald Varley was blown up in the USS Yamato in \"Contagion\" , Admiral Erik Pressman was arrested in disgrace for violating the Treaty of Algeron in \"The Pegasus\" , and Admiral Matthew Dougherty was murdered by his Son'a co-conspirators in Star Trek: Insurrection. The only TNG episodes to feature death in large numbers had to do with the Borg. TNG: \"Q Who\" , \"The Best of Both Worlds\" and \"The Best of Both Worlds, Part II\" noted eighteen off-screen deaths, although the latter probably totaled a few more in later scenes. The Security And Tactical Division remained a high-risk assignment in TNG, despite their change to the gold/bronze color. Natasha Yar, the first Chief of Security of the USS Enterprise-D, was killed by Armus very early in the series (namely, in TNG: \"Skin of Evil\" ). The Star Trek films kept the crew losses low for the most part, but the TOS era installments were dominated by redshirt deaths, as the dominant uniform style featured all personnel wearing red. Star Trek Generations noted that crew losses from the destruction of the 1701-D were low. However, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek: First Contact, and Star Trek Nemesis all featured scores of battle-related crew deaths. As noted, the The Wrath of Khan losses were all redshirts, but the TNG losses were more varied, while continuing their pattern of conn officer attrition. It should also be noted that Spock and Kirk died in The Wrath of Khan and Generations, respectively \u2013 and in each movie, the officers wore red uniform shirts. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine featured many security personnel \u2013 such as Ensign Paul Gordon in DS9: \"Rocks and Shoals\" \u2013 and engineers dying, sometimes in large numbers. However, while this maintains the tradition of TOS's most dangerous areas to work, these officers wore yellow shirts by this era. There was no pattern of redshirted crew loss until command officers were noted as dying in the war story arcs that dominated the last half of the series. However, the first known redshirt death on DS9 came when an unnamed officer was killed in Ops by the Cardassian counter-insurgency program in \"Civil Defense\" . The redshirted conn officer of the USS Defiant also was killed during the ship's first battle with Dominion forces, in \"The Search, Part I\" . Another good example of typical redshirts on DS9 can be seen in \"Empok Nor\" . In the Dominion War especially, entire fleets of starships were biting the dust, indiscriminate of shirt color. In Star Trek: Voyager, the crew members who initially died on screen were wearing red uniforms, such as Stadi (who was another flight controller) and Cavit. However, over the seasons of Voyager, it became clear gold was a dangerous color in the Delta Quadrant, with most officer victims who died in the series doing so while clad in gold uniforms. Because USS Voyager had no way to replace crew, the only massive number of deaths took place in alternate timelines, with the two exceptions being the first episode, in which a large number of the senior staff were killed when the Caretaker's array displaced Voyager, and a situation in the second season episode \"Deadlock\" wherein both the crew and the ship were duplicated, with one of the Voyagers being destroyed not long after, along with its entire crew. In Star Trek: Enterprise, more engineers and MACOs were lost than officers from any other division. In the case of the MACOs, this was consistent with their evolution into the Starfleet security forces. Both branches wore red as a department color (although MACOs seemed to wear splatter camouflage more than anything). In the rebooted continuity beginning with the film Star Trek, all Starfleet Academy cadets wear red. However, Enterprise Chief Engineer Olson, prominently wearing a red space diving suit, became the first notable redshirt death in the alternate reality, as depicted in the aforementioned film. In Star Trek Into Darkness, Kirk tells Hendorff and another security officer to \"lose the red shirts\" for their mission to Qo'noS to prevent them from being identified as Starfleet officers. Doing so apparently helps, as neither officer dies during the mission. At another point, Kirk tells Chekov to don a red shirt when he's replacing Scotty, which Chekov shows obvious reluctance to. In Star Trek Beyond, multiple red shirts are killed in the Battle of Altamid. As swarm ships lodged in the Enterprise hull, boarding parties, led by Manas, were sent aboard and killed numerous crew members. Several crew members were also left \"drained\" of their life signs in attacks from Krall."@en . . . . . "BOONE: Yeah."@en . . .
