Default Re: G:STAR TREK , Need 'Trek-specific' Disadvantages and Quirks...

From my Hero Lens, which should be generally appropriate for Starfleet Officers:

You use your powers and skills for the greater good out of a desire to preserve life, help people, and otherwise "do the right thing”.

Sense of Duty (Small Group) to your adventuring party is especially recommended. Members of a cohesive team tend to act this way anyways; you might as well get points for it. Of course, you may not get points for disadvantages that overlap. E.g. Because Starfleet officers have a Sense of Duty (Large Group) for the Federation, they may not also take Sense of Duty (Small Group) for their team which consists of officers which are all members of the Federation.

DISADVANTAGES
Choose -20 points from:
-15† Charitable
-15 Code of Honor (Hero's) -- see below
-5 Code of Honor (Professional)
-10 Code of Honor (Soldier’s)
-5† Compulsive Generosity
-5 Guilt Complex -- make sure you are willing to role-play the consequences!
-10† Honesty (aka Law-Abiding)
-10 Pacifism (Cannot Harm Innocents)
-10 Pacifism (Cannot Kill)
-15 Pacifism (Self-Defense Only)
-5† Selfless
-2 Sense of Duty (Individual)
-5 Sense of Duty (Small Group)
-10 Sense of Duty (Large Group) -- already part of the Starfleet Academy Template
-15 Sense of Duty (Entire Race)
-20 Sense of Duty (Every Living Being)
-5† Truthfulness -- remember, this even prohibits you from lying by omission.
-10 Vow (Never Take A Life)
-10 Vow (Protect the Innocent)
-5 Vow (Uphold the Law)

Code of Honor (Hero's)
This is based on the Three Laws of Super-Heroics laid out in DC's Shadowpact team. Quote:
• First Rule: The lives and safety of innocent bystanders will always be protected.
• Second Rule: The lives and safety of you (the superhero) and members of your team will be protected to the extent that it does not conflict with the First Rule.
• Third Rule: The lives and safety of all opponents will be protected to the extent that it doesn't conflict with the first two Rules.
