Memory Alpha  Starfleet brat  37,549pages on this wiki  A
Starfleet brat is a nickname for the child of one or more
officers in Starfleet. "Starfleet brats" have often grown up on
starships or outposts far from home because of their parents'
assignments. Valerie Archer was supposedly one such child. (VOY:
"In the Flesh")  Other examples of "Starfleet brats" include
Geordi La Forge, Wesley Crusher, Jake Sisko, Clara Sutter, Harry
Bernard, Naomi Wildman, and Molly O'Brien.  The term is derived
from the real-life term "army brat" which refers to the children
of army members, who often grow up on or near bases all over the
world. Jeri Ryan was an "army brat".  Around Wikia's network
