    If it makes you feel better, Captain Chakotay had normal pips by the time the Protostar was commissioned. Guess Janeway just didn’t want to grant ranks away from Starfleet proper.

      I just always imagined an awkward conversation between Janeway and some new species she had just beamed on board: “so uh, Captain, why do some of your crew have different rank pins?”

      “Oh, you mean the terrorists? Don’t worry about it, they’re fine.”

        Anyway don’t worry about it because commander Sisco has normal pips, and he’s worse than any of them.
