Terran Uniforms (Pre 2656)

Introduction

The Terran Confederation uniform used up until the end of the Firekkan Campaign in 2656 represented a throwback in fashion styles, with uniforms very similar in appearance to those fielded by the armed forces of Earth in the mid twentieth century. Space Forces pilots embarked on carriers and installations wore their own distinctive duty uniform, while naval officers wore a different style. Flag officers and cadets also had unique uniforms. In addition, the Terran Confederation Marine Corps sported its own variation on the duty uniform.

Space Forces

Space Forces pilots wore a distinctive uniform from other military personnel during this time. The standard duty uniform consisted of a dark brown blouse worn over a tan undershirt, with dark blue slacks which were tucked into black boots. Rank insignia was displayed on the shoulder of the blouse. Two five point stars with comet trails were affixed to the collar. The nametag was worn centered on the right breast, while any specialty badges (such as Flight Wings) were worn over the right breast. Award ribbons were arranged in rows of four and centered a quarter of an inch below any earned badge. The order of precedence for ribbons was from left to right across a row and from lowest row to highest. Any earned medals were displayed directly beneath the ribbons in order of importance from left to right. An award bar accompanied each award earned. For multiple awards of the same medal, additional award bars were worn. Since Terran fightercraft of the day utilized ejection pods, the flight uniform did not need to be airtight. Pilots wore the duty uniform with the addition of a helmet when flying their craft.
