#StarTrekVOY "Through The Valley" To traverse a terrifying region of space, the crew refit Voyager to look like one of the native space-born creatures. When a transporter accident splits Harry into two people, Janeway demotes each of them to halfnsigns.

For anyone looking for a casual #StarTrek jacket, I stumbled across this online a few months ago. It was one of many different color schemes, but this one seemed perfectly laid out to be Trek. Sadly, there was no inverse with black on the shoulders. Me being me, I chose to not make it so stealthy.
