YELLOW ALERT   cancel Yellow Alert This relates to the period 2266 to 2373. 2266 equates to [TNG] Season 3; well into that year the [TNG] Seasons 1 and 2 uniforms were slightly amended. The amended uniforms endure for the rest of [TNG] i.e. up to and including 2370, a year before the [Voyager] series begins. This means that the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D crew carry on wearing the uniform even though a version new to tv viewers is seen in the next Star Trek series [DS9] and whose first two Seasons are aired at the same time as the last two Seasons of [TNG]; that new version is presented as simply a variant of the existing uniforms system. For the new [Voyager] series, no changes to the uniform were made and so the USS Voyager crew wear the same uniform variants as seen in the first two Seasons of [DS9]. However, a re-styled Starfleet emblem/combadge is introduced for [ST VII: Generations] and for the [Voyager] series and it is thus adopted by Starfleet from 2371. The new emblem/combadge appears in [ST VII: Generations], [DS9], [ST VIII: First Contact], [Voyager] of course, [ST IX: Insurrection] and [ST X: Nemesis].

INTRODUCTION

DESCRIPTION AND SCREENSHOTS

The uniform is a grey-coloured single-piece garment that fastens at the front. Field uniforms are designed for a variety of class-M planet conditions as well as activity aboard the starbase or starship. The versions seen in [#58 Blood Fever] and [#167 Friendship One] are long-sleeved but the version worn by Tuvok and his four trainees is short-sleeved, without a high neckline, and is thus suitable for the strenuous exercise that they undergo during training sessions.

If worn on an away mission in possible threat situations, the grey utiliarian colour of the uniform would give the wearer the ability to blend in with certain terrain in that light-grey is an inconspicuous colour especially in poor light.

the blue stripe indicates that Crewman Gerron works in the science or medical division; note the backpack/belt/accessories back view

The uniform also features a stripe of colour or piping that runs horizontally across the upper chest and around the arms in a downward V-shape and around the back of the uniform. The colour of the piping denotes the division of the wearer, and both the colour and the downward V-shape piping are in accord with the style of the Starfleet standard duty uniform that the Voyager crew normally wears. The division colours, as usual, are red for command and conn, yellow for security and engineering, and blue for science and medical. Rank pips are worn on the front right-hand side of the collar, and the Starfleet emblem/combadge is worn in the customary position on the left breast.

another view of Chell's undergarment; I theorise the actor wears it to prevent his blue make-up getting onto the costume, to "mop up" any perspiration, and to avoid having to make him blue even further down his neck

the bottom of the trouser legs are worn tucked into the shoe

Light-grey coloured shoes are worn, similar to today's trainers. They look like they are fastened with what appear to be like laces or similar material, enabling the wearer to get as close a fit as possible.

the underside of the shoe has treads for firm grip
