| - Senior Chief Petty Officer is a senior non-commissioned rate used by Starfleet. Senior Chief Petty Officers generally serve in leadership roles in their respective departments (commanding engineering or security teams, for example), and may also serve in any officer post - including department head. They generally have many years of service and a wealth of experience in their selected field.

Senior Chief Petty Officers generally serve in leadership roles in their respective departments (commanding engineering or security teams, for example), but more commonly are the Chief of the Boat and/or the Chief of the Deck onboard Colonial ships.

| - Senior chief petty officer or SCPO is the eighth enlisted rank in the Federation Starfleet. The rank is higher than a chief petty officer and lower than a master chief petty officer. The rank is the second highest that can be attained by a non-commissioned Starfleet officer. Personnel having this rank are referred to as "Senior Chief" or "Chief" in most circumstances. Advancement to the rank of senior chief petty officer is made in the same way as that of chief petty officer. It bears requirements of time served in Starfleet, superior evaluation scores by superior officers and commanding officers, and a review of peers. It is the first promotion that is based entirely on proven leadership performance where examination scores do not play a part. A chief petty officer can only advance to the rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer if a board of master chiefs approve. This happens once every year. As with chief petty officers, a senior chief petty officer takes on more administrative and command duties.
- Advancement to senior chief petty officer is similar to that of chief petty officer. It carries requirements of time in service, superior evaluation scores, and peer review. In the Navy, it is the first promotion that is based entirely on proven leadership performance; test scores do not play a part. A chief petty officer can only advance if a board of master chiefs approves, convened every year around March. Senior chief petty officers make up just 2.5% of the total enlisted force of the Navy. In the Coast Guard, advancement to senior chief is similar to other advancements, in that candidates compete with other advancement-eligible chief petty officers. Advancement-eligible chief petty officers are prioritized based on written examination scores, evaluations, award points, time in service, and time in grade. Senior chief petty officers are then selected monthly from this prioritization list as positions become available. As do chief petty officers, senior chief petty officers take on more administrative duties in their new paygrade. In the Navy, their khaki uniform continues to reflect their responsibility level: It is similar to an officer's uniform, but with different insignia. (In the Coast Guard, petty officers, chief petty officers, warrant officers, and commissioned officers all wear similar uniforms.) Like petty officers, every chief has both a rate (rank) and rating (job, similar to an MOS in other branches). A chief's full title is a combination of the two. Thus, a senior chief petty officer with the rating of machinist's mate would properly be called a senior chief machinist's mate, the abbreviation of which is MMCS. Each rating has an official abbreviation, such as MM for machinist's mate, QM for quartermaster, and YN for yeoman. The rating and the rate combined give the abbreviation of a senior chief's full title, such as BMCS for senior chief boatswain's mate. In the expanded form, the title of senior chief always precedes the rating. It is not uncommon practice to refer to a senior chief petty officer by this shorthand in all but the most formal correspondence (such as printing and inscription on awards). The rating insignia for a senior chief is an eagle with spread wings above three chevrons. The chevrons are topped by a rocker that goes behind the eagle (or "crow", as it is commonly called). An inverted star (similar to the stars on the sleeves of line officers) is above the eagle. This is used on the dress blue uniform. On all other uniforms, the insignia used is the one that has become universally accepted as the symbol of the chief petty officer: a foul (entwined in the anchor chain) gold anchor superimposed with a silver "USN" in the Navy or a silver shield in the Coast Guard. As in the dress blue insignia, the anchor is capped by an down-pointing star. In the Navy, officers and chiefs are referred to as "khakis". This is a reference to the color of one of their most common uniforms and is a direct contrast to those in paygrades E-6 and below ("blueshirts").

Die übliche Anrede für einen SCPO ist „Senior Chief“, eventuell auch „Chief“. In den 2240ern und 2250ern sind sie an einem perforierten Armstreifen zu erkennen. (TOS: ) Ab 2278 tragen sie ein achteckiges, silbernes Abzeichen mit einem goldenen Trapez an der Oberkante und einem goldenen Balken in der Mitte auf einem Armstreifen. (Star Trek II: Der Zorn des Khan und folgende) Bis etwa 2369 trägt ein SCPO dasselbe Abzeichen wie ein Lieutenant, zwei volle Pins, ab diesem Jahr tragen alle CPO-Grade nur noch einen halben Pin, auch die höher gestellten Master-CPOs. Da auch dies nicht zufriedenstellend ist, werden ab 2372 für alle Unteroffiziersränge eigene Abzeichen eingeführt. Der SCPO trägt nun ein schwarzes Abzeichen mit drei silbrigen Winkeln und zwei Punkten. Eine alternative Erklärung dafür, warum O'Brien die Abzeichen eines Lieutenants trug, ist die, dass er genau diesen Rang bekleiden sollte, da er auch in einer Folge als Lieutenant angesprochen wurde und andere Transporterchiefs unter seinem Kommando den Rang eines Fähnrichs bekleideten.
