Starfleet brat

A Starfleet brat is a nickname for the child of one or more officers in Starfleet. "Starfleet brats" have often grown up on starships or outposts far from home because of their parents' assignments. Valerie Archer was supposedly one such child. 

Other examples of "Starfleet brats" include Geordi La Forge, Wesley Crusher, Jake Sisko, Clara Sutter, Harry Bernard, Naomi Wildman, and Molly O'Brien.
