Changes: Skeleton crew

Revision as of 14:05, 7 May 2006

A skeleton crew features a minimal number of crewmen required for starship or space station operations, sometimes fewer. They are often formed during emergencies.

In 2370 the USS Enterprise-D was left with only a skeleton crew under the command of Beverly Crusher while the rest of the crew were on the surface below searching for Commander Data. (TNG: "Descent, Part I", "Descent, Part II")

During a plasma disruption that forced the evacuation of Deep Space 9a few weeks later, a skeleton crew was left to run the station. (DS9: "Invasive Procedures")

After the Reckoning began on Deep Space 9 in late 2374, a skeleton crew remained aboard after the majority of the population left. (DS9: "The Reckoning")
