    Janeway had the authority to promote Starfleet officers under her command, but not the authority to recruit new officers. Hence the “provisional” part. But the situation required it so all the Maquis she integrated wore those alternate pips until Starfleet could ratify and approve them (most, if not all of which, they did.)

      I’ve seen Voyager 3 times and never noticed they had alt pips. Wow. 🤦🏻‍♂️

      If you’re looking to hire a private investigator, you should…call someone else. I’m not that observant apparently.
