At a Glance

Throughout most of the 2250s, Starfleet's equipment has a strong resemblance to the later 2260s era. Rank insignia are placed on a department-specific badge as "commbadges" are not yet available. However, these badges do contain locator-transponders and can relay some information back to the ship's sensors. To communicate, personnel carry a flip-style communicator. Tricorders and datapads are also frequently carried and used.

Uniforms

Starfleet Command issues a series of garments to meet the needs of its personnel. Starfleet's uniforms come in a number of variations to suit the wearer with an appearance that varies by their division within Starfleet.

In 2230, Starfleet Command adopted a new uniform that moved away from the primary red-blue-yellow top with a black bottom uniform design that had dominated the last twenty years. The design they chose was a radical departure that harkened back to the functionality of the Federation's early eras. With only minor variations in 2240 and again in 2250, the uniform has largely been unchanged. The Constitution-class Explorers began to don a new uniform similar to the pre-2230s era but those changes have not been implemented in the wider fleet.

Standard Officer's Dress: 2230s-2260

Two Piece Uniform

The standard Starfleet uniform is a two-piece, long-sleeved garment with a close-fitted, tailored contour. Underneath the jacket, personnel usually don a sleeveless, short sleeve or long-sleeved dark blue or gray undergarment.

One-Piece Jumpsuit

Those with a utilitarian approach or who have a vocational necessity will find there is a one-piece jumpsuit version of the standard uniform. It is especially popular with engineers and operations personnel.

Skant Variation Uniform

Skant

Skants are most popular among the Yeomanry and see little use in the more operational or utilitarian parts of the ship. These uniform variants, which are unisex and can be worn by all genders, have a dress or pleated kilt-like bottom. Skants can be a one-piece (in which the skant is dark blue like the uniform) or two-piece (in which the skant portion is black). The skant variation ends a few centimeters above the knee. It can be worn with black leggings and standard boots, or without leggings.

Officer's Standard Dress

The standard officer's uniform is a dark blue garment with five vertical lines on each shoulder. Patterned field colors descend from the sides under the arm. It has an off-side lapel which conceals the jacket's zipper. It has ribbed blue shouldering.
