More like Ensign Expendible. There did not seem to be any named enlisted
personnel in the Star Trek/II/Voyager series except for Chief O'Brian.
Any others were simply background filler

Ensign=officer
Chief=enlisted

The first person killed was usually Ensign Expendible. Red was Command,
Blue was Science, and Yellow was Operations. I guess the ones that got
taken out weeded out the incompetent so that the less incompetent would
survive to get promoted. Of course, it was all fiction so any
resemblance that may have had to real life was purely coincidental.

Something red:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.04

      Title: Red Beet Chocolate Cake
 Categories: Chocolate, Vegetables, Cakes
      Yield: 16 servings

  1 3/4 c  Flour, Unbleached, Sifted
  1 1/2 ts Baking Soda
    1/2 ts Salt
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      3 lg Eggs
      1 c  Vegetable Oil
  1 1/2 c  Beets, Pureed
      2 oz Unsweetened Chocolate *
      1 ts Vanilla Extract
           Confectioners' Sugar, Sifted

  *  Melt and cool the 2 1-oz squares of baking chocolate.
  ~---------------------------------------------------------------------
  ~-- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Combine
  sugar, eggs, and oil in a mixing bowl.  Beat with an electric mixer
  set at medium speed for 2 minutes.  Beat in the beets, cooled
  chocolate, and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients, beating well
  after each addition. Pour into greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.
  Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 25 minutes or until cake
  tests done. Cool in pan on rack. Cover and let stand overnight to
  improve flavor. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. NOTE: This is
  similar to a recipe that I had from one of the local cooking shows
  that was sent out to the listeners when the Red food coloring was
  banned. While I have not tried this recipe, I did make the other one
  and it was good.  But the other recipe is long gone.

MMMMM

My note:  The note within the recipe was there. I did not try this one
yet either. However, it is an alternative to have a red color without
the dyes of commercial food coloring.
Regards,

Stephen
