Redshirts

    In Star Trek, red-uniformed security officers and engineers who accompany the main characters on landing parties often suffer quick deaths.^[2] The first instance of what now is an established trope can be seen in the episode ”What Are Little Girls Made Of?” (1966).^[3] Of the 59 crew members killed in the series, 43 (73%) were wearing red shirts.^[4] The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine book Legends of the Ferengi says Starfleet security personnel ”rarely survive beyond the second act break”.^[5] An episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine titled ”Valiant” (1998) also references red as a sort of bad luck omen, in which the plot centers around a group of cadets calling themselves ”Red Squad”, almost all of whom die in the episode.^[6] The cinematic reboot of the franchise features a character named Olson (portrayed by Greg Ellis) who dies early on during a mission; he wears a red uniform in homage to the trope from the original series.^[7]
