Several types of uniforms are used within the colonial fleet.
A singled-breasted blue duty uniform is used by officers. The left side of the uniform folds over the right and is secured by column of buttons. Military occupation specialty pins are affixed over the pocket. The pant legs feature bell bottoms.
The officers' dress uniform is modeled after the duty uniform, except for a few key differences. It is gray, lacks a pocket or shoulder patches, features a sash to which MOS pins and other medals are affixed, and is secured by a single clasp rather than a column of buttons. Senior officers' uniforms also feature a dark gray bar around the neck.
Enlisted personnel use a double-breasted green uniform, except on the flight deck where uniforms color-coded according to military occupation specialty are used, as on real-life aircraft carriers.
Both the officer and enlisted duty uniforms feature large patches over the shoulders. Rank insignia is affixed to both sides of the collar.
The battle dress utility uniform is an urban digital camouflage pattern of various shades of dark and light grays. It features angled breast and shoulder pockets and lacks abdominal pockets, and the buttons are covered, much like real-life United State Marine Corps MARPAT uniforms. The elbows of the battle dress utility feature large patches. The boots are typically not bloused, with the pant legs left hanging over the boots.
The uniforms used by the Colonial Marines are based on the BDU, only in solid black rather than the digital pattern. Load-bearing vests, helmets, communications gear, knee and elbow pads, gloves and goggles are standard.
Leather uniforms with left sleeve pockets are used by pilots. A gray sleeveless tee shirt covered by a brown tank top are worn beneath the flight suit.
