Round 2: 8/8

15. Una Chin-Riley served as the First Officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain Pike. The original "Number One", she also appears in Strange New Worlds. Efficient and an exemplar to others, but known as "Where fun goes to die" by the crew.

2. William Riker was First Officer aboard the USS Enterprises D and E. Often criticised for how long he stayed as Picard's first officer, his easy-going nature balanced well against Picard.

@Keab42 Chakotay was the correct XO for Voyager after they were stranded. I went with Chekov though, even though we don't see him do anything except get a slug put in his ear.
@Keab42 Number One Vs Number One is my one to watch.
@Keab42 OK now THIS was a really tough one. Riker's great, love Riker, top tier first officer. But Una has been fantastic on SNW and her and Pike's friendship has been wonderful to see. If she's your FO, you know she has your back. Una sweep.
@Keab42 damn these are some tough match-ups
@Keab42 Both are some of the top officers ever produced by Starfleet. But Riker's refusal to move on and take the responsibility of his own command for so long, plus the forcing of his trombone playing on his shipmates, are strikes against him. The original Number One gets the number one vote.
