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 like Kanon 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.
PACT
PACT Pilot Suits
The standard PACT pilot suit is similar technologically to the ZOCU pilot suit, providing G-, spalling, flame, and vacuum protection for crewmen, as well as a short-term individual oxygen supply. In case of ejection, the suit comes with a ballistic armor vest providing chest and abdominal protection against shrapnel and spall, although it is ineffective against most small arms. A national flag insignia is found on the suit's chest to signify the pilot's nationality.

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.
New Silesia
Outremonde
European Union State Uniforms
Being a egalitarian Union of many member-states some states have their own "national" uniforms while others have varients of the standard EU uniform.

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
Magnate Pilot Suits
Standard Magnate suit. Has a bit less G-compensation because Magnate superhumans don't need it unlike puny League baselines and ZOCU transgenes. Similar to dress uniforms, the suit's secondary colors are changed according to nationality for identification, although the majority of the suit remains black.
League of Outer Stars
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.
