Round 2: 6/8

11. Saru was the first Kelpian in Starfleet. He served as First Officer of the USS Discovery under Captains Lorca and Pike. He later returned to serve as Burnham's First Officer as well.

Vs.

6. Kira Nerys was a Bajoran freedom fighter (terrorist) who found herself as the first officer of the newly Federation-owned Deep Space Nine.

How does Saru's level-headedness compare to Kira's firebrand nature?

Round 2: 5/8

2. Data served as First Officer of the Enterprise D under Captain Jellicoe and was tapped to be the new XO of the E before his death in Nemesis.

Vs.

14. Jack Ransom is the first officer of the USS Cerritos. Athletic and full of swagger he has nonetheless tried to be a mentor to Beckett Mariner.

Who would you rather serve under?

Round 2: 4/8

13. Pavel Chekov is most widely known as the helmsman of the USS Enterprise. He served as the First Officer of the USS Reliant in The Wrath of Khan.

Vs.

4. Chakotay was a member of the Maquis and captained his own vessel. Thrown into the Delta Quadrant he took up the role of Voyager's First Officer.

Did Chakotay's Maquis origins make him a better or worse First Officer than Checkov?
