Star Trek has always needed random crewmembers to die during its missions.
With a few exceptions, the main characters don’t get offed, so this lot – with their name taken from the red security/operations shirts worn by crew in Captain Kirk’s time - ended up on the losing end of confrontations with aliens, monsters, anomalies and, er, plants.
We’re glad to see that JJ Abrams is keeping this fine tradition going in the new film, so we thought we’d celebrate just a few that the various series have lost through the years…
