Uniforms of the Sphere
Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union
ZOCU dress uniforms
Being primarily defended by national forces from Earth, most ZOCU worlds had no military tradition until the Breakdown and the founding of ZOCU in the early 2160s. Due to this isolation and a conscious desire to not copy the military traditions of Earth, entirely new dress uniforms were designed. While some worlds went with their own local uniforms, the majority of ZOCU worlds went with an outfit heavily influenced by Londinium fashion aesthetics, with a specific color chosen unique to each world, making any international meeting of ZOCU soldiers a decidedly colorful event.

ZOCU pilot suits
Like ZOCU uniforms, ZOCU flight suits are typically of the pilot's national color, though 'International' units tend to use the ZOCU Unified Militia color scheme. Constructed out of multilayer spacesuit fabric, pilot suits are form-fitting and capable of protecting the wearer against vaccum, though they do not come with a large oxygen supply and not rated for long-term exposure to radiation.
European Union
European Union Uniforms
The vaguely anachronistic olive-green uniforms adopted by the European Union's forces in the early 22nd century are certain to be recognized just about anywhere in known space.
European Union Battle Armor
ARROWs
ARROWs semidress uniforms
Magnate Continuum
Magnate uniforms
Most Magnate militaries were and to some extent are, quite distinctive but during the Magnate war a unified command structure was made for Joint operations which has resulted in standarised uniforms across all Continuum worlds. Following ZOCU's lead, each world has it's own colour, though the overall uniforms remain black throughout.
- Synthesis: Crimson
- Principality: Blue
- Eternal Dawn: Grey
Expanse League
League uniforms
Despite repeated initiatives the League has not managed to achieve a comparable degree of standardisation to the Core or even ZOCU. Military conferences feature a wide variety of designs, from Altan jackets to Minkowskan spacesuits.
