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). | 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.

''This Serial Number is for '''IC (in character)''' purposes only. It differs from a [[Fleet Writer Serials|Fleet Writer Serial Number]], which is for '''OOC (out of character)''' identification purposes only. The Starfleet Serial Number may be referenced by your character if they are captured and interrogated, or during official processes such as transfers, assignment of temporary command or in-character performance reviews among many other scenarios. This number is never included in your signature and belongs to a character rather than a writer. You do not have to use a Starfleet Serial Number at any point unless you choose to do so.'' | |||

Starfleet Serial Numbers are sorted below alphabetically and numerically to make it easy to check if a particular serial number is already in use. Another way to check for specific numbers is to use the find function, which can be done on most browser by pressing '''Control + F'''. Before registering a serial number check that it has not already been registered. If it has a different one will have to be registered as there can be no duplicates. | |||
