Introduction
The Klingon warrior uniform covers all areas except the head and neck. The armor is made of advanced general purpose flexible body armor and style to resemble historical uniforms. The uniform provides double protection on the torso and shoulders. It does not include a helmet.
The uniform is restricted to members of the expansive Klingon warrior class, which includes but is not restricted to the entire Klingon military.
The Cardassian military uniform consists of light armor plates over a flexible bodysuit and a removable helmet with built in air filter. Starship crews and those not expecting combat often remove all the plates except the torso armor.
Personal body armor comes in flexible and solid forms, as well as personal force fields. The two types of physical armor are divided into hyper-ballistic (HB) and general purpose (GP) armor. The Star Trek universe lacks any specialized energy-resistant body armor.
See Pyramid #3/96, Eidetic Memory: Ultra Tech Armor Design p.19 for custom armor construction rules.
