The Terran Uniform is a multi-layered outfit designed specifically for service in space and in hostile environments. It is comprised of two layers, a base layer that acts as both an environmental suit and a mechanical counterpressure suit in the event of the wearer being exposed to vacuum. The outer layer is a Duty uniform comprised of a jacket and pants, which are designed to be comfortable, durable, and functional, while still making sure the wearers have a modicum of style when wearing one.
the Standard Terran Environmental/Pressure Suit, or STEPS, is a form-fitting, but not quite skin-tight bodysuit which is actually several parts. The main part is the shirt, which is long-sleeved, and contains a lockring around the neck, allowing a helmet to be securely attached.
This lockring is normally collapsed, but, when locked to a helmet, expands into an articulated joint which allows for the full movement of the head. The lockring also contains a small air canister and air filter to allow two hours of breatheable oxygen, in accompanyment with the Magnetic Containment sphere the lockring generates in vacuum or hostile atmospheres if no helmet is present. To use the lockring, one simply pushes on a helmet until it clicks, then pulls it up to accordion out the mechanism allowing for neck and head movement. In order to remove a helmet, the wearer simply pushes the helmet down until the lockring is fully collapsed, and twists the helmet off.
The Second piece is the pants, which include foot coverings, with the final parts being a pair of gloves that give enough counterpressure so that a wearer's hand's aren't damaged, but can also move fairly easily. The whole suit is made from a smart material that makes air-tight bonds to itself but can still be separated by hand. the Material will, upon exposure to vacuum, produce mechanical counterpressure to keep the human body from being damaged by the vacuum.
The Marine and Navy Variants are black, While the Air Force variant is Navy Blue.
Each duty uniform consists of four parts: a Jacket, Pants, Belt, and a pair of boots.
The overall uniform color scheme for the marines is Hunter green with black accents.
The Overall Air Force Uniform is Navy blue, but has different accents based on a person's job
The Overall Navy Uniform is Burgundy, but has different accents based on a person's job
Technicians, when working, tend to wear a protective jumpsuit as opposed to a Duty uniform. Regardless of branch, technicians also seem to prefer wearing the marine style boots for their greater protection. The Technician's jumpsuit also comes with a pair of protective mechanic's gloves. The Jumpsuits are generally colored according to branch, but a light grey variant is available for use by all branches.
