Commissioned officers are some of the most talented and skilled individuals in the Federation, extensively trained at the Academy, and commit to Starfleet service usually for their entire lives. People become officers because they want to be leaders in the service, in their departments, on their ships, or at Starfleet Command itself. </div></td></tr>

A threefold trauma was inflicted on Starfleet: the spontaneous assimilation of young adult officers into Borg drones with the directive to 'kill all unassimilated'; the ensuing death and destruction as crews were slaughtered by their own and starships turned on each other; and, in the aftermath, the discovery this had all happened because the highest echelons of Starfleet Command had been infiltrated and compromised by renegade Changelings bent on destroying the Federation. Starfleet will live with the scars of that day for a generation. A significant percentage of non-junior officers were slaughtered on Frontier Day, especially - but not limited to - those serving on ships at Sol. Survivors witnessed their crewmates cut their fellows down without restraint or quarter. Those young officers, though ultimately liberated from the thralldom of the Borg Collective, still went through that experience and committed these horrifying deeds.</ins></div></td></tr>

A generation of seasoned officers has not been wiped out, but has suffered unprecedentedly massive losses over a matter of hours. Their younger counterparts, many of whom are traumatised by their assimilation and the blood on their hands, are nevertheless expected to step up and fill the gaps on crew rosters. The average age of Starfleet officers is the youngest it has ever been, with young people often no older than 25 holding many senior staff posts they would not have dreamt of claiming for another decade. Those older survivors have likewise been moved up, as these days, having a mere ten years' service makes one a relative veteran of the front line. Conversely, many retired officers or those in more bureaucratic roles have returned to active and starship duty, ready to do their part for Starfleet even if many feel they have earned a quieter life.</ins></div></td></tr>

While it attempted to return to its original mandate in the aftermath, the crises of the Romulan Supernova and the Attack on Mars changed the course. After devastating losses to its fleet power and a shift in Federation policy to focus on domestic affairs, Starfleet's exploratory operations have been greatly reduced over the last decade and a half.
