''Redshirt'' is a PC simulation strategy game developed by one-person developer Mitu Khandaker, aka The Tiniest Shark, and published by one-person developer/publisher Positech Games (Of ''VideoGame/GratuitousSpaceBattles'' and ''VideoGame/GratuitousTankBattles'' fame). The player takes on the role of the lowest possible ranking officer on board the space station Megalodon-9, and has to utilise a {{Website/Facebook}}-esque social network to impress the right people, work your way up through the ranks, and become important enough to get planetary leave to get away from the ever-present risks that any RedShirt would face. Naturally, a whole lot of sci-fi humour comes along.

* ShoutOut: ''Franchise/StarTrek'' is the obvious example, although the idea of playing out the story from the absolute lowest rank possible is certainly reminiscent of ''Series/RedDwarf''.
