  • In this series, the uniforms worn by Romulan military officers have a variety of patterns and colors on them. These do not appear to have anything to do with the Romulan's position or rank; a popular fan theory is that Romulan uniforms are patterned according to family or clan affiliation.
  • Throughout the first two Star Trek crews (including the movies), Picard and Data are the only two characters never to receive a promotion. However, in at least two "alternate futures", they were both promoted - the episodes [{Future Imperfect}] (Data is a full Commander, Picard is an admiral) and [{All Good Things}] (Picard, though retired, is referred to as an ambassador).
