Talk:Counselor

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I guess it was Morale Officer after all. Could an admin please move the article I created? Excuse my spelling. -- Redge 00:50, 24 Jul 2004 (CEST)

Hey, I just noticed that registered users can move pages too. I guess that means I'm old enough to clean up after myself now. ;) -- Redge 01:16, 24 Jul 2004 (CEST)

Also, did we ever see a ship's Counselor in TOS? If not, we should add a note that the position was created somewhere between TOS and TNG. In any case, the position was created sometime after ENT, as we're yet to see one in that. -- Redge 00:53, 24 Jul 2004 (CEST)

[edit] Regulation?

I was confused by this subject. In TNG it was implied that a Counselor is present on all Starbases and Stations under Federation control. An excuse was made for Voyager in that the mission to persue Chakotay and the Marquis was only meant to take a few weeks and in Deep Space Nine they finally get given a Counselor in Season 7 in the form of Ezri Dax. However, should DS9 have been assigned and Counselor earlier, especially with the prospect of War looming so close in other seasons.

Is it actually canon that a Counselor has to be present? And as shown in TNG: The Best of Both Worlds when Jellico takes command of the Enterprise-D and requests that Deanna Troi wears a Science-Division uniform, that they have to wear regulation uniform?

Though never mentioned there is no proof that there wasn't a Counselor on DS9. But let's say that there wasn't that just shows that it's not canon that a Counselor is required for every Starbase/station. — Morder (talk) 23:30, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
