Does Starfleet even do background checks?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There's a suspiciously high number of evil Starfleet Admirals in Star Trek, which suggests that many of these promotions were huge mistakes. Captain James T. Kirk once advised Captain Jean-Luc Picard not to let Starfleet put him behind a desk with a promotion.
9 Admiral Mark Jameson In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Too Short a Season", it was revealed that Admiral Mark Jameson broke Starfleet's Prime Directive to get his promotion. Years earlier, on the planet Mordan IV, Jameson negotiated the release of hostages by supplying weapons to both parties on either side of the conflict. This act triggered a 40-year civil war that ravaged the planet's populace, leaving many of its people looking to get revenge on Jameson.
6 Vice Admiral Les Buenamigo Like many Starfleet Admirals before him, Star Trek: Lower Decks' Les Buenamigo had participated in shady activities for years before his promotion. He was still a Lieutenant Commander when he was working on a dangerous project to create automated starships. Buenamigo's top secret - and unsanctioned - project got Cadet Sam Rutherford seriously injured.
