Insignia for Starfleet Science

Starfleet Science (also known as Science Ops or Office of Science Ops) was an agency in Starfleet, responsible for scientific research and development. This agency was one of the oldest with its origins dating back to the United Earth Starfleet. The agency was located at Fleet Operations Center in San Francisco, Earth, Sol Sector.

The logo for Starfleet Science was shown at the beginning of The Tardigrade in Space, a film about a tardigrade named Ephraim. (ST: "Ephraim and Dot")

Starfleet Science was responsible for developing the theories used in creating the prototypes for the modified polaron emitters that were to be used to expose Gowron as a Changeling. They believed that exposure to polaron radiation given off by these emitters would have a destabilizing effect on the changeling's morphogenic matrix forcing him to revert to his natural state. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")

In an alternate future timeline, Korena contacted Starfleet Science after Benjamin Sisko, who was trapped in a temporal displacement, fell back into sync with normal time. They intended on sending a team to the Sisko's home as soon as they could, but Benjamin fell back out of sync with normal time before they arrived. (DS9: "The Visitor")

In the 2260s of the alternate reality, information on this agency was located in the Federation database. (Star Trek Beyond)

This agency was mentioned in a list of Starfleet agencies, which appeared to the left of the personnel file for Balthazar Edison. [1]
