A player whose character has more difficulty pips than every other character goes first. Otherwise, whoever most recently watched a Star Trek episode begins.

If nobody has uniquely the most character pips, use the most recent Star Trek episode viewer.
Rule details
Pips are the difficulty dots beneath a character's name, not the player's experience level.
