Uniforms of the Grand Fleet

The Grand Fleet of the Antaran Empire employs a small set of simple, functional uniforms for daily duty wear. These uniforms have been employed virtually since the Empire fielded its first military forces, as they have been seen as a design with no real downsides needing correction. The sole exception to this is that as newer, lighter and more comfortable materials have become available, they have replaced older ones.

Standard Uniform
The standard uniform of the Grand Fleet consists of a tunic of black and trousers of black. A belt of dark silver synthleather with a brass buckle embossed with the roaring lion's head crest of the Empire is worn to fasten the tunic.

The tunic itself has no visible fasteners, as the clasps are light contact seals concealed underneath the edge of the tunic flap. The flap has a trim of white for all enlisted personnel. This trim is a dark crimson for line officers and gold for flag officers. The Supreme Commander has two lines of this piping on their tunic.

Trousers are standard black, with no color stripe for enlisted personnel. Line and flag officers will have stripes down their trouser legs that match the color of the piping on their tunic.

All personnel wear black low-quarter synthleather shoes with this uniform. They have a mem-foam insole which both fits to the wearer's foot and grants a very comfortable coushin to prevent stress with personnel when they are their feet.

Rank insignia is worn as rectangular shoulder boards for all personnel. They are fastened all along their perimeter to the shoulders of the uniform tunic, and the white shirt underneath.



Field Uniform
The field uniform of Grand Fleet ground personnel - Marines and Special Operations troopers - consists of a black coverall which they wear with an armored cuirass, gauntlets and boots that are dark gray.

As with the standard uniform, rank insignia is worn on the shoulders of the armored cuirass, as well. However, the insignia are black and gray instead of black and gold.

During live-fire combat operations, troopers will also wear an armored helmet of the same dark gray.

The belt with the field uniform is equipped with a utility belt. It has several compartments on it, which have inside them all of the following items -


 * A high-tension wire, 10-meter length.


 * A grappling hook.


 * Two spare pulse weapon power packs.


 * Four ion flares.


 * An emergency comlink.


 * Two water packs.


 * Two emergency rations.


 * Two emergency medpacks.


 * One set of binders.
