"Third? Oh, well, no matter. I've overcome greater obstacles."
A third officer was an bridge officer position aboard a starship that was fourth in line for command of the vessel after the captain, first officer, and second officer.
In 2375, during the waning days of the Dominion War, Dahar Master Kor was given an assignment as third officer aboard the IKS Ch'Tang. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
In 2377, Tom Paris stated to Chakotay that it had just occurred to him that "with you in command and Tuvok off the ship, that makes me acting first officer. Technically speaking," and therefore third officer. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero, Part II") That had also been the previous case for Paris, when he was left in command of Voyager, when Janeway, Chakotay, and Tuvok were off ship or away from the bridge. (VOY: "Initiations", "Hunters", "Renaissance Man")
