My avatar, is a 29th century com-badge specifically for my Class of Star Fleet Time Ships.
It comes from the episode "Relativity" in the ST Voyager series.
The class of ship is the Wells Class. My ship is the USS Pabilli (Relativitys sister ship)its the black thing inside the badge on the left. It fly's inside the shadow indicating the stealthy nature of time missions. When viewed by another it flies to the right always, and therefore is always right!
What looks like check marks or boomerangs are Rank Pips. 4 for a Captain on the right portion of the badge, they are in, what would be the upper portion of the swoosh, indicating respect. Only the Captains Badge has the optional Ship and Pips available, however Capt Braxton chose not to wear this variation. The swoosh is parallel to the horizon in the 29th century, showing it is aligned with that which is within view.
The swoosh from the Original Star Trek series has had a shadow placed under it, and it has now been turned on its side. It's gold plated with a silver shadow.
It is voice activated and no longer needs to be activated by touch, but it can be activated by touch if necessary.
Pabilli is latin, in this case meaning barrow, as in my quote
"Borrowed time is an eternal debt with compounding interest"
"Pabilli tempus vis an sempiterna debitum ita instruo impendium"
Capt Braxton is know for saying "Tempus Fugit" (time flees) in the episode
