10 Weird Times Star Trek Characters Changed Divisions

7. Commander Worf - Bloody Pick One

What can we say about Worf, son of Mogh? The man changes colours like we change our socks - which, now that we think of it, may be a part of it. First, this Klingon made his debut in command red, donning the spine-damaging red jumpsuit of the first and second seasons of The Next Generation. Following the death of Tasha Yar, he would make the switch to security division gold - a colour he would retain until The Way Of The Warrior.

In Deep Space Nine, Worf would see a colour reversion - this, now, back to red, though it came with a promotion. As Strategic Operations officer on board the station, he was responsible for coordinating the efforts against the Klingons, though this role would also see him serve as captain of the Defiant, second only to Sisko.

Star Trek: Picard would again see him shift - back, now, to gold. However, this came with a long-delayed promotion to captain, making him one of the few high-rank officers to wear gold in the 24th and 25th centuries.
