Well hold on. If you are in a Section 31 facility you will need a badge walking around. Think how all officers and even some civilians on federations ship/facilities always have a badge. I would bet it is so while in a Section 31 facility you can receive …

Sep 29, 2021 · Proposal: Section 31 started out in the shadows, but transparency laws required reductions in the secrecy until by Discovery, it was an open secret at worst. Some time beyond that, increasing political pressures mounted to basically abolish Section 31.

May 15, 2019 · Section 31 badge looks quite poorly for costing Lobi, it doesnt has the shine lustrous nature of the show, it looks like someone grabbed 2 triangular polygons and stuck them together with a default texture and called it a day. I am very disappointed in it.

Apr 4, 2018 · A cool black badge (that doesn't actually have to be worn..)is better than random trill guy going "ayy bb u wanna join section 31" It just feels to me if that was a TNG series ending with somebody handing a slick black badge to a secondary character it'd be the coolest and most awesome thing ever.

Burnham stares at them as a plot point. But Ash, who was a senior security officer onboard has never seen the badges. Did section 31 just leave the ship after it confirmed it had the most advance drive in the Federation. In the 90’s based series featuring section 31 (DS9 and Ent) , it was a very clandestine organisation.
