*The uniforms of Starfleet can convey useful information about the wearer at a glance. The small round "pips" worn on the right side of the collar designate a person's rank, while the color denotes a crew member's duty station. The "maroon" is worn by those in the command hierarchy directly, such as the Captain and First Officer. The "mustard" colored uniform is worn by personnel in security, engineering, or operations. The "teal" colored uniform is standard for crew members in the sciences and medical positions. *Source: Back of card
