Star Trek: Endgame Fiction Vs. Reality

10. The Uniforms

What Happened In the Episode:

Taking its cue from the similarly time-twisty Next Gen finale All Good Things, Admiral Janeway's future in Endgame takes Trek uniform back to its earlier iterations. Gone are the duo-chrome styles of Next Gen and Voyager, with alternating black shoulders or bodies, to be replaced by single colour tops. The red, gold and blue colour designations remain the same, but the insignia pips have now moved down to the chest, and a flap is incorporated across the body in a similar style to those seen in the Original Series movies.

What Really Happens:

Taking a similarly back to basics approach in a more truncated timeline, Starfleet seem to have moved through their phase of simple grey with coloured collars, as seen in the Next Gen movies and later seasons of DS9, to the coloured shoulders that Voyager wore for their entire voyage.

Although not quite as far in the future, Star Trek Picard is the closest chronologically to Janeway's time of 2404, and shows the only real difference on these uniforms to by a more upright collar and insignia pips down to the chest, similar to the alternate timeline.

Time seems determined to make these Endgame/All Good Things uniforms not happen - even if a similar set appear in Star Trek: Prodigy.
