Provisional officers
A provisional (or brevet) officer is a member of a military or service organization who has received a temporary commission, field commission (or field promotion) to hold a rank as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in that organization.
These types of promotions are done without the approval of the organisation's central authority, but by commanding officers. Provisional officers can only be established in normal ranks by the organisations's authority. In Star Trek: Equilism only Fleet Admiral Jerry Taylor has got this authority.
The provisional crewmen wear a lozenge-shaped rank pin with black or gold stripes rather than the standard pips used to show Starfleet rank.
