2373-2394 : Page 5 : dress uniform

YELLOW ALERT These uniforms are introduced in 2373, and are first seen in [ST VIII: First Contact]. They are worn by all Starfleet personnel except for the USS Voyager crew who, until their return to the Alpha Quadrant at the end of 2377, instead continue to use the uniform variants introduced in 2369. See also Why USS Voyager's crew wear the same uniform throughout the series (2371-2377) even though Starfleet re-styles the uniforms in 2373. The 2373 uniforms are seen in [DS9] Seasons 5-7, [ST IX: Insurrection] and [ST X: Nemesis]. This means, perhaps confusingly, that Starfleet personnel such as Counsellor Troi, Admiral Paris and others at Project Pathfinder are seen in [Voyager] wearing the 2373 uniforms. The altered Barclay hologram also wears the 2373 uniform in [#152 Inside Man]. In [ST X: Nemesis], set in 2378, Admiral Kathryn Janeway wears the 2373 uniform. No accurate end-stop can be placed on the service life of the 2373 uniforms, although they are of course in service up to and including the events of 2378 depicted in [ST X: Nemesis]. Spike's Star Trek Page says they serve until 2394. He does not say why but presumably it is so stated in TOSTFF. If so, it is therefore so because different uniforms are seen in Q's anti-time of 2395 depicted in [TNG: All Good Things], and that uniforms system looks like a development stage leading to the style of uniforms seen in 2404 in the eventually unrealised timeline depicted in [#171 and #172 Endgame]. The re-styled Starfleet emblem/combadge style is the same in [TNG: All Good Things] and [#171 and #172 Endgame]. The uniform worn by Captain La Forge in [#100 Timeless] does not contradict that because he is in is 2390, but it becomes an unrealised timeline - events between 2375 and 2390 get changed when Kim and Chakotay change history so that the rest of the Voyager crew live. The white dress uniforms are first seen in [ST IX: Insurrection], which is set in 2375, no stardate given. They are also seen in [DS9: Season 7: Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges] and in [ST X: Nemesis]. The Standard Extravehicular Work Garment (SEWG), first seen in 2373's [ST VIII: First Contact], is also seen in several [Voyager] episodes such as [#71 Day Of Honor], [#84 Prey] and [#161 Workforce, Part 1] whose events are set in early 2374, mid-2374 and mid-2377 respectively. The Voyager crew refer to it as an environmental suit. For more information see SHIP USS VOYAGER: Standard Extravehicular Work Garment (SEWG). One or two additional items of clothing are shown in screenshots that are not given in TOSTFF/the scans on the left below. NOTE RE SOURCES. I cannot find the TOSTFF article on 2373 uniforms, but believe I do have it somewhere, as I doubt I would have decided (which I did a while ago) to compile the section 'Starfleet Uniforms' without it. (Either that or seeing so many pages of uniforms just confused me and I remember wrongly.) When I could not find the TOSTFF issue concerned, I turned to the Web which is how I found Spike's Star Trek Page (thanks, Spike!) as well as a few other sites whose scans were the same as his but his scans were the first I saw and thus downloaded and the easiest to enhance. But unfortunately I could not find any in depth text on the Web (e.g. Spike gives labels only e.g. "admiral's uniform"; I have added notes re date and first appearance etc.), so what is offered here is entirely down to me, and I apologise for any errors. Canon text in other forms might become available in due course. Meanwhile I hope that providing lots of screenshots will help make up for the lack of text. They are mostly from [ST VIII: First Contact] because (a) that is the film in which they are first seen (b) I have not yet taken many screenshots from [ST IX: Insurrection] and none so far from [ST X: Nemesis] because this article took longer to compose than expected so I may add/replace screenshots from those films later.
