New Uniform Changes - 2382
(These are just some ideas I have had to spice up the uniform introduced in First Contact. The date of the changes are in 2382, the date, which I have chosen to begin, my hope fore and upcoming E-based DS9 era series/game.)
DUTY UNIFORM
The Duty Uniform of the game is still the uniform introduced during DS9’s mid forth season and in First Contact. However some changes have been made which alter the uniform greatly. Among these has been the reintroduction of the older branch colors, which had been done away with when the new general duty uniform was introduced in 2355 with some minor changes.
The expansion of the number of branches from three to nine has been accomplished as follows:
Black - Engineering
Blue – Science*
Forrest Green - Security
Orange – Quartermaster
Red – Command/Line
Kelly Green – Intelligence
Buff – Medical
White – Command/Admiral
Yellow/Mustard – Operations
* As traditionally practiced by Starfleet all Social Science personal, especially those assigned to the command department/divisions of their starship/base continue to be authorized to wear Red instead of Blue as their branch color.
A new duty sweater has been introduced to provide an alternative to the duty jacket. It can be either of pull over or of a cardigan pattern with four buttons in the front. The lighter duty vest must be worn with the Cardigan pattern sweater.
Female members of any race wishing to do so my wear a black knee length skirt with the newly introduced duty sweaters with black or neutral colored stockings with an appropriate matching shoe style approved by the wearers commanding officer. Boots of any size or pattern are prohibited for wear with the skirt at all times.
DRESS UNIFORMS
Dress Uniforms of the same pattern introduced in 2373 will continue to be in place with the following changes and alterations. The undershirt will be as follows:
White – Senior Officers
Gray – Senior Supporting officers
All other officers and enlisted will wear there prescribed branch color shirt beneath the 2373 Dress Jacket.
Female members of all races are allowed to wear at their desire either the knee length skirt or an ankle length-skirt both to be black and trimmed with a ½ inch bead of material in a color matching the wearers branch color. In the case of the short skirt, stockings of either black or white color are approved for wear. Boots of any size or pattern are prohibited for wear with the skirt at all times.
All dress pants will be trimmed along the seam with a ½ inch bead of material in the wearers branch color or that matching the dress undershirt.
(in case your wondering, I have always felt that the three colors were limiting to an extent. Proven since most introduced the forrest green Security color for Marines and such along time ago. But what of the others?
Orange for Quartermaster, simple 1.) the Merchant marines use the color, and 2.) with a war like the Dominion War Logistics and such needs probabaly would aquire a new status in Starfleet.
The others came from the old movie era colors so I just added them with a few changes.)
