Technician

For the Batman villain, see Daniel Tran.

A technician is a specialist in any number of applied sciences including medical and mechanical engineering. Technicians are usually found working in a laboratory or some research facility specializing in their chosen field. In Star Wars, technicians in service to the Galactic Empire could be found working on the Death Star space station or any number of capitol ships. Technicians in service to the Alliance to Restore the Republic often made certain that the Rebels' starfighters were in top shape and ready to fly. Technicians could also be found as background characters on any of the Star Trek television programs. They were seen working either on a starship, at a starbase or at Starfleet Academy (though this was rare). Technicians were often used by Starfleet's engineering department. Specialists who had the misfortune of being called upon for away missions, often did not survive the experience and have been colloquially nicknamed redshirts. In Stargate SG-1, the United States Air Force and Stargate Command had a crew of specially trained technicians on hand inside the Gate Room at the Cheyenne Mountain facility. One technician of note was Staff Sergeant Laura Davis who was a minor recurring character on the series.

Doctor Who[]

A technician for UNIT once picked up radar readings of a series of meteors that were descending through Earth's atmosphere. The oddity of his findings was the fact that these meteors appeared to be flying in formation. He pointed this out to a female officer, who promptly dismissed him.

Farscape[]

On the TV series Farscape, Earth astronaut John Crichton had a brief romantic encounter with a Peacekeeper technician named Gilina Renaez. She was stationed aboard the Zelbinion and worked under the authority of Captain Bialar Crais.

Preacher[]

In season two of Preacher, there was a man known as the Technician. He was a Japanese businessman who would barter with individuals for a portion of one's soul, and then sell that portion to others for an extreme profit. In one example, he siphoned off 15% of a destitute man's soul and sold it to an elderly couple for 2.7 million dollars to cure a woman's Alzheimer's. He then extracted a portion of Jesse Custer's soul, which was then given to the soulless Saint of Killers. (Preacher: Sokosha)

Stargate SG-1[]

In Stargate SG-1, the United States Air Force and Stargate Command had a crew of specially trained technicians on hand inside the Gate Room at the Cheyenne Mountain facility. One technician of note was Staff Sergeant Laura Davis who was a minor recurring character on the series.
