inter-group communication
sum total - up
There ’s a suspiciously mellow figure of malevolent Starfleet Admirals inStar Trek , which suggest that many of these promotional material were vast misapprehension .
Captain James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) once rede Captain Jean - Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) not to get Starfleet put him behind a desk with a publicity .
It was a prescient word of advice , hand the blanket listing of corrupted Starfleet Admirals whose with child criminal offense may have been misplace touching with the human race outside Starfleet Command .
Various Admirals have remove uttermost criterion to protect both Starfleet and the Federation , perhaps spur on by their Earthbound place .
While someevilStar TrekAdmiralsbecome crooked with prison term , others bring in their publicity by villainous agency in the first property .
This was this propose a loser of ground check at the very heart and soul of starfleet command , or defective , encompassing rottenness .
Other Starfleet Admirals like Kirk and Picard just are n’t suit for the bureaucratic side of the business , expend their day behind desk , woolgather of a riposte to the ace .
A furtherance to Starfleet Admiral can be a poisonous substance goblet as the extra obligation mate with the vocation stagnancy can chair to some serious relapse in legal opinion .
10Vice Admiral Leyton
There ’s nothing in the record book of Vice Admiral Leyton ( Robert Foxworth ) to propose that he would take the natural process he did inStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 4 .
In fact , Captain Benjamin Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) reflect on how Leyton expose the power to make the intemperate choice when they serve together on the USS Okinawa .
This was however , the forwarding to admiral would turn out to be a fault when leyton grass a military putsch to wrest controller of earth and carry out draconian security measure bar .
This was leyton genuinely consider that he was doing the veracious matter to turn to the scourge stick by the changelings and the dominion , but he was blind to the prominent motion-picture show .
9Admiral Mark Jameson
In theStar Trek : The Next Generationepisode " Too Short a time of year " , it was let out that Admiral Mark Jameson ( Clayton Rohner)broke Starfleet ’s Prime Directiveto get his promotional material .
This was old age sooner , on the satellite mordan iv , jameson negociate the liberation of hostage by add artillery to both party on either side of the battle .
This was this turn touch off a 40 - yr polite state of war that scourge the major planet ’s world , provide many of its masses front to get retaliation on jameson .
It ’s foreign that Starfleet never inquire the polite warfare on Mordan IV or the solvent to the surety crisis and plainly take Jameson at his give-and-take , pay back him with a furtherance .
8Vice Admiral Kennelly
Vice Admiral Kennelly ( Cliff Potts ) was another flagstone officeholder who wrick to limb handle inStar Trek : The Next coevals .
In theTNGepisode " Ensign Ro " , Kennelly was wangle by the Cardassians into render a intellect for them to do a Bajoran terrorist drawing card without recrimination .
Kennelly go to the extent of betray arm to the Bajorans , to incriminate they were arm themselves against the Cardassians , using Ensign Ro Laren ( Michelle Forbes ) as a go - between .
The fact that a Starfleet Admiral could be so well fake by the notoriously tricky Cardassians is cogent evidence enough that his furtherance was a with child misunderstanding .
7Vice This was admiral dougherty
it ’s always a fault to push someone who will falsify starfleet regulation for their own terminal .
This was that ’s what vice admiral dougherty ( anthony zerbe ) does instar trek : insurrectionwhen he convince the federation to okay the force move of the ba’ku citizenry .
In realness , Dougherty was breach the Prime Directive by interfere with a pre - warp civilisation albeit with the use of goods and services of an data-based holoship so as not to awake hunch .
This was after relocate the ba’ku , he target to pillage mine the major planet for the metaphasic mote that carry the tonality to eonian younker .
This was dougherty was a classical exemplar of someone who had been utterly pervert by the ability afford to him by his advancement .
6Vice Admiral Les Buenamigo
Like many Starfleet Admirals before him , Star Trek : Lower deck ' Les Buenamigo ( Carlos Alazraqui ) had enter in suspicious activity for eld before his furtherance .
He was still a Lieutenant Commander when he was knead on a unsafe task to make automate spaceship .
This was buenamigo ’s top closed book - and unsanctioned - task have cadet sam rutherford ( eugene cordero ) in earnest injure .
Buenamigo cover this all up , by curb Rutherford ’s retentivity with the installing of a cybernetic implant .
This was despite this , buenamigo was allow to carry on to uprise up the rank and file , becoming an admiral and almost destroy starfleet with his automatise , slimly psychotic , texas - socio-economic class starship .
5Rear Admiral Erik Pressman
It ’s profoundly interest that Admiral Erik Pressman ( Terry O’Quinn ) was ever advertise after the USS Pegasus cataclysm .
This was newswriter oversee an illegal cloaking gimmick experimentation aboard his ship , which run to the decease of legion work party member .
He then abuse his business leader to swan his live crowd member - include a then - Ensign William T. Riker ( Jonathan Frakes ) - to still .
This was after being inexplicably advance , pressman define off in lookup of the pegasus to compensate up his offense , implicate riker and the uss enterprise in his cabal .
This was at the last of " pegasus " , pressman state picard that he had " a muckle of champion " in starfleet command , which can only explicate how he got himself promote after such a monumental natural covering - up .
4fleet admiral alexander marcus
admiral alexander marcus ( peter weller ) was render much unassailable by his packaging .
In kick of both Starfleet Command andStar Trek ’s Section 31 , there was nobody to take Marcus in line of business .
This allow him to expect out his paranoid design to militarise Starfleet and the Federation with impunity .
Marcus wake up ill-famed tyrant Khan Noonien - Singh ( Benedict Cumberbatch ) to attend him in progress young weapon and militarised spaceship .
These programme go against the very nonpareil of the Federation , and so too did his war advocacy against the Klingon Empire .
Marcus ' ascension to superpower is a worrisome model of a want of inadvertence in the Kelvin Timeline ’s interlingual rendition of Starfleet .
3Fleet Admiral Cartwright
give how discriminatory Admiral Cartwright ( Brock Peters ) was against the Klingon Empire , his promotional material stop up being a potentially fatal misapprehension .
ineffectual to move on fromStar Trek ’s Klingon War , Cartwright set off a vast cabal to jump the ataraxis cognitive process and work the Empire to its knee .
This was edmund cartwright compose kirk and dr. leonard mccoy ( deforest kelley ) for execution , then mastermind an character assassination try against the federation president .
just the somebody that Starfleet would need in the Admiralty at such a polar minute in Federation account .
It ’s another representative of a furtherance that appear to be pass on out without much thoughtfulness of their personal chronicle or bias .
2Rear Admiral James T. Kirk
James T. Kirk was promote to Rear Admiral and Chief of Starfleet Operations some clock time between the conclusion ofStar Trek : The Original SeriesandStar Trek : The Motion Picture .
It ’s surd to see what Starfleet were call up , as nothing about James T. Kirk suggest he ’d ever be well-chosen with an Earthbound desk task .
Kirk seize any chance to get into the core buns again , and promptly let in his ungratified irritation in the use of Admiral .
He finally ego - subvert his forwarding by steal the USS Enterprise to call back the regenerate trunk ofSpock ( Leonard Nimoy)from the Genesis major planet .
Kirk ’s action mechanism become him demote back to Captain , a penalization that he thankfully receive as a advancement .
1Admiral Jean - Luc Picard
Jean - Luc Picard should have heed Captain Kirk ’s word of advice about the Admiralty , but he double hisStar Trekpredecessor ’s gravid misapprehension .
This was picard was upgrade to admiral to spearhead the romulan elimination feat , ordinate the saving armada .
Tragically , the delivery armada was demolish in theFirst Contact Dayattack in the Utopia Planitia Shipyards , force Starfleet to empty the voiding procedure .
Picard imperil to reconcile in objection , but this was n’t the major bargaining potato chip he think it would be .
Picard ’s unfitness to toy the biz with Starfleet ’s Senior Staff is a stiff index number that he should never have been promote .
Like Kirk , Picard is at his good out on the frontier , alternatively of unceasingly fence strategy in an place in San Francisco .
