Cashiering (sometimes referred to as a degradation ceremony, although that term may be used more generally in sociology) is a ritual dismissal of an individual from some position of responsibility for a breach of discipline. It is especially associated with the dismissal of military officers of high rank. Cashiering sometimes involved public degradation, with the destruction of symbols of status: epaulettes ripped off shoulders, badges and insignia stripped, swords broken, caps knocked away, and medals torn out and dashed upon the ground.

- Cashiering is a military discipline measure for grave sanctions, usually reserved for commissioned officers and above. It involves demotion of the individual so penalized to the rank of crewman (or private), stripping him/her of any and all honors he/she may have received, and breaking up all symbols of authority. Cashierment is most often part of the penalty assigned in general courts-martial, and accompanies a "shameful" (dishonorable) discharge from the ranks of the service in which the individual has served.

Cashiering sometimes involved public degradation, with the destruction of symbols of status: epaulettes ripped off shoulders, badges and insignia stripped, swords broken, caps knocked away, and medals torn out and dashed upon the ground. In addition, in the era when British Army officers generally bought their commissions, being cashiered meant that the amount they had paid was lost, as they could not "sell-out" afterwards.

Cashiering did not exist in the Lyran Starfleet; it was replaced by a variety of tortures, like being repeatedly tasered. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Cruchitude Dump")
