Even for a Star Trek story about unkillable redshirts, this is going to get weirder than you think, so you should activate the seatbelt on your captain’s chair. We need to start with the infamous redshirts of The Original Series, who mostly existed to beam down to a planet, find something scary, and get killed in a freaky manner. However, some redshirts managed to survive, including Lieutenant Kyle, a transporter chief who went on to appear in 11 episodes of The Original Series, eight episodes of The Animated Series, and even The Wrath of Khan before returning in Strange New Worlds with a new actor.
