[QUOTE]Originally posted by Topher: [QB] *beats Shik to it* :) [b]Uniform[/b] The uniforms on the station have changed a few times since we went on-line (due to the breakaway from Earth, the war, etc). Full schematics on the uniforms can be downloaded from the computer. You will be expected to be familiar with these. The basic uniform jacket has leather on the right front panel, collar, and cuffs, although some tunics do not have leather at all. There are bronze clamps on the left shoulder (e.g., a Starfury patch) and a unit badge on the right. An EA command patch with your name on it is worn on the left breast )and, where appropriate, any off-world patch). Command staff memmbers, such as the chief of Security, wear a mainly black uniform given as a gift by the Minbari. It is made of various materials. The stitching on the front panel is Zirka thread. Zirka thread is derived from a rare Minbari plant; the inclusion of it in a gift of clothing is a rare honor. Zirka thread produces a mild allergic reaction in eighy percent of Humans. Due to cutbacks in the system, officers will be expected to pay for the fitting and upkeep of their own uniforms. The dress uniform has no leather on the jacket panel. Variations include silver piping on jacketg sleeves. The combat uniform is worn beneath a grey or black flak jacket designed to dissipate the impact of energy weapons. <font face="Lucida Console"> [b]Uniform Colors[/b] Blue................EarthForce space forces Green/brown.........Earthforce Marines (surface division) Grey................Security officers Charcoal............Medical Light grey..........Prison Black...............Psi Corps Yellow..............Station techs, maintenance crews (not part of the EA)</font> The Earth Alliance symbol (EA command badge/patch) is a stylized EA in silhouette, and then altered within the lines to accomodate different divisions-Command has crosshatching, Secury has a gun sight, and technicians (electricians) a lightning strike. These are worn on the left chest, directly over the stat bar. [b]Stat Bars[/b] These are bars of colored metal worn beneath the EA badge on the left breast. The color indicates the "status" of the wearer, not the rank (which is indicated by bars on the epaulettes). <font face="Lucida Console"> Gold............Command Silver..........Command staff Silver/gold.....Station executive officer (second in command) Red.............Medical Green...........Security Yellow..........Sciences Blue............Pilots</font> Also on the right shoulder of Starfury squad members is a winged planet emblem, a five-pointed command insignia circled by red and gold and overlaid with gold wings over the pilot's name. You will be expected to remember the following ranks in the station, denoted by their badges: <font face="Lucida Console"> General (joint chiefs).....Five "stars" om a circle General....................Polygon, one bronze bar, two stylized stars Colonel....................Silver bird Major......................Three diamond shapes Captain....................Two diamond shapes Lieutenant.................One diamond shape Chief warrant officer......One diamond shape with oblique black stripe areas Admiral....................Polygon and three bronze stars Captain....................Polygon and two bronze stars Commander..................Polygon and one bronze star Lieutenant Commander.......Polygon and one silver bar Ensign.....................Bronze star</font> That's all that's in the security manual on uniforms.
