Off-Duty Crew Member

An unnamed off-duty Starfleet crew member who occupies Ten-Forward as ambient social presence. They appear scattered through the lounge—nursing drinks, chatting quietly, and providing ordinary texture that lets principal actors stage private and diplomatic exchanges. Their steady, conventional comportment stabilizes the room’s social rhythm; they rarely drive plot beats but enable transitions and preserve etiquette, embodying the routine civilian life aboard the Enterprise and the shipboard community that cushions high-stakes encounters.
