YELLOW ALERT

This page (and the previous ones) relate to 2271-2277, the period up to USS Enterprise NCC-1701's retirement in 2277 from exploratory services and its assignment to Starfleet Academy. The events of [Star Trek: The Motion Picture] take place in 2271.

 

Landing party rig By 2265 Starfleet has abandoned use of the grey landing party jacket in use in 2254. Instead standard uniform is worn and landing parties do not wear additional or other garments unless particular conditions require specialist garments such as the environmental suits worn in [TOS: Season 1: The Naked Time]. The decision to abandon the landing party jacket of the 2254 era increases the plot's action pace (not needing to wait for characters to don them), assists continuity (less for continuity staff to think about), and saves the cost of manufacture and cleaning/repair etc. The starship's quartermaster is responsible for issuing specialist garments such as native-style costume to enable landing party members to blend in e.g. [TOS: Assignment: Earth], [TOS: Patterns Of Force]. See next page re environmental suits.
A: Phaser, worn in plain view (in early episodes worn on a wide belt of contrasting colour), while the smaller phaser type-1 could be concealed in the belt B: Communicator C: Tricorder
a: Bright primary colour uniform   b: Phaser attached to a thick belt   c: Tricorder   d: Boot - higher than male's boot
