Epsilon IX station assignment patch — The assignment patch worn by Epsilon IX personnel

The following Human Starfleet personnel served aboard the Epsilon IX station in the mid-2270s under the supervision of Commander Branch. They were assigned to the scientific research and technical branch of the sciences division. The crew and station of Epsilon IX were "absorbed" by the V'ger probe as it passed near the station. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

Named

Branch

Unnamed

Lieutenant

This female was a lieutenant who monitored the IKS Amar's transmission, and plotted the course of the cloud. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

She was played by Michele Ameen Billy.

Gene Roddenberry's novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture had a brief description of her, noting that Admiral Kirk found her "pretty".

Technician

This male technician was a crewman who made reports to Commander Branch about the conditions leading up to the station's destruction. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

He was played by Roger Aaron Brown. His rank was denoted by his lack of rank insignia, according to Robert Fletcher's uniform design.
In Gene Roddenberry's novelization, he was referred to as the sensor operator.

Technicians

Epsilon IX personnel — Three technicians

These three technicians were present with Branch and his senior staff, working at three additional control stations.

The woman on the right was played by Winnie McCarthy, the one on the left H. Teague, and the middle by an unknown performer.
These crew wore the informal fatigue uniform preferred by station personnel, in beige and brown, generally indicating they were junior officers or non-coms, according to Robert Fletcher's uniform design.

Worker

This worker was a sciences division crew member who was outside of the Epsilon IX antenna wearing a spacesuit. This crewman attempted to flee V'ger's effect with spacesuit thrusters, but was "absorbed" just the same.

This unnamed, unseen person's division assignment in sciences was denoted by his or her orange spacesuit.
