A StarFleet Serial Number is much like a social security number or an employee number, it is unique to the individual it is assigned to identifies them from other people, some of whom may happen to share the same name. An individual who works in StarFleet whether they are a cadet, non-commissioned officer or officer can be assigned one. A PC, 2PC, NPC, PNPC or any MSPNPC who has a wiki bio page and is recurring can be assigned one. It is completely optional and a player may choose not to assign a StarFleet Serial Number to their character(s).
