Class A Uniforms
Class A Uniforms
Embedded Files
Class A uniforms are the most formal version, intended only for special events. It is the STARFLEET equivalent of a dress suit or formal gown. Given that these events are fairly rare, most members won't own a Class A uniform. If you do not own one, see the Alternatives section below.
There is only one set of Class A uniforms: the Dress Uniform (DU). All Class A uniforms are unisex. This uniform comes in three variants, depending on your rank.
The uniform can be purchased online or made to specifications. When making this purchase, be sure to get the correct variant for your branch of service and rank. If ordering online, it may be necessary to have the uniform fitted.
With the exception of wedding rings, no jewelry or other accessories (including hats, jackets, belt-pouches or gloves) may be worn without prior command approval. Sidearms are not worn with Class A uniforms, but Ceremonial Weapons may be authorised for use, as determined by the mission commander.
Examples of missions that might require a DU (as authorised by the mission commander):
Star Trek movie premiers;
Formal dinners;
Weddings;
Receptions.

Description: This variant consists of a long grey jacket with black trousers and ankle-length black formal boots.
Top: A light grey 1cm stripe flows down from the back of the neck, on either side of centre, to the bottom seam. At shoulder-height, a light grey 1cm stripe joins the vertical stripe on both sides, going all the way around the back, coming to 90 degree downward points on each sleeve.
Each cuff has three, parallel light grey 1cm stripes going all the way around. The collar has three, parallel light grey 0.5cm stripes going all the way around. There is branch-of-service colour piping along the edges of each cuff and the edge of the collar.
Bottom: Black trousers, with a 2cm light grey stripe all the way down the outside seam.
This may be substituted with a plain black kilt, worn with an optional plain black sporran. Any insignia upon the sporran must be approved by Command before it may be worn.
Accessories:
Commbadge is worn on the left breast, approximately 3cm from the vertical and horizontal stripes.
Rank insignia is worn on the right collar.
STARFLEET Name Badges may be worn with this uniform, as applicable. If so, they are worn on the right breast, opposite the commbadge.
No belts, headgear, overcoats or other accessories are to be worn without prior command approval. Wedding rings are a standing exception to this rule.
ID tags must be out of sight when wearing this uniform.

Description: This variant consists of a short white and grey jacket with black trousers and ankle-length black formal boots. The jacket may consist of two separate garments (a white jacket and a grey-blue undershirt) or one garment made to look as if it is two separate garments.
Top: A gold 1cm stripe flows down from the back of the neck, on either side of centre, to the bottom seam, ending in a point. This stripe separates the white jacket from the grey-blue front panel. The front panel is quilted horizontally, 2cm apart. It ends at belt-buckle height, 5cm above the points of the white jacket.
At shoulder-height, a gold 1cm stripe joins the vertical stripe on both sides, going all the way around the back, coming to 90 degree downward points on each sleeve. The white shoulder area, above the stripe, is quilted vertically, 3cm apart.
Each cuff has one 1cm stripe, in the branch of service colour, going all the way around 5cm from the edge of the cuff. There is branch-of-service colour piping along the edge of the collar.
Bottom: Black trousers, with a 2cm gold stripe all the way down the outside seam.
This may be substituted with a plain black kilt, worn with an optional plain black sporran. Any insignia upon the sporran must be approved by Command before it may be worn.

If you are attending a function and command have ordered that Class A uniforms be worn, if you do not own a correct and accurate Class A uniform you have two options:
Substitute it with a Class B uniform. The Class B is sufficiently formal that it may serve instead of a Class A should the need arise. However, a Class C uniform should never be substituted.
Wear civilian dress instead. The civilian equivalent of a Class A uniform is, generally speaking, a dress suit (tuxedo) or a formal gown.
