Red Shirts in Sci-fi

Yesterday’s unknown lady in red is followed today by a rather wellknown lady in red. In the StarTrek canon the colour red denotes security and engineering. Lieutenant Uhura is the communications officer on board of the original enterprise.

Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, Captain James T. Kirk, First Officer Spock.

In other sci-fi franchises a red coloured shirt is not as coveted – wearing a red shirt in StarWars might mean sudden death – see GalaxyQuest for more details.
