Moot point. Many of those "Explorer" ships are fairly well armed...that's like saying an oceanographic "research" vessel with 100mm cannons and ship-to-shore missiles is just an "exploration" vessel.

And how many times in the hundreds of ST episodes have you seen these advisors? If they existed, wouldn't they come into the plot at some point in the hundreds of hours of episodes?
Star Trek's on the way out anyways. I read something recently; that the Stargate series is rivalling the Star Trek series in popularity, and still growing. No wonder too, the acting is in general much better and the storylines much better.
