Red was the color of shirt worn by the nameless security personnel on the original ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series}}'' series. Their only job was to get eaten, shot, stabbed, disrupted, temporally-shifted, frozen, desalinated, or crushed into a cube (except for Scotty, being the Chief Engineer). Their death would give Creator/WilliamShatner and Creator/DeForestKelley a corpse to emote over, and Creator/LeonardNimoy a corpse to, well, [[TheStoic not emote over]]. (Creator/GeneRoddenberry [[InvertedTrope inverted this trope]] in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' when he had all officers of command rank wear red shirts while the security and engineering departments wear gold - but as you can see, the theory is the same even if the colour isn't.)
