Uniform Policy
You are not required to wear the fleet uniform at all times. Some events, however, may stipulate that all participating members will be expected to appear in fleet uniform.
Gloves, Badge, and Belt are players’ choice for all uniforms, but color choices should not clash. Recommended colors are included with each uniform style below. Medals may be substituted for the combadge on dress uniforms if you have them unlocked. Female characters may wear skirts with stockings in appropriate color with the Service Uniform.

Starfleet Uniform Code
Some uniform variants call for the use of costume pieces with an associated ZEN cost. Check the notes section of each uniform type for instructions about obtaining the required pieces or available substitutions.
Please note that for all uniforms, Argo uses the canon departments rather than the in-game career paths:
Red for Command and Tactical (including Helm/Navigation).
Blue/Teal for Science and Medical.
Gold for Operations, Engineering, and Security.
Dark Purple/Black (H1) for Intelligence (not included in images).
Dark Blue (F6) for MACO personnel (not included in images).
OFFICERS
Officer Service Uniform
Service uniforms see the most ubiquitous use in Starfleet. Designed to be both presentable and comfortable, they are ideal for most operational starship and starbase duty. Officers on bridge watch, administrators in a starbase and researchers in a lab all might wear service uniforms.
Service uniforms are considered “business” or “business casual” dress and officers typically will be wearing these. Since most officers in Starfleet work in a clean, office environment, the service uniform is appropriate attire most of the time.
Officer Excursion Uniform
Excursion uniforms are designed to be durable and functional. They are chiefly worn on away missions when exploring rugged terrain or when an officer is expecting a firefight. They can also be worn as the standard uniform in “frontier” settings where the duty station is a little rough around the edges. Anyone who gets their hands dirty with heavy machinery, such as infantry/security, pilots or mechanics, might also wear the excursion uniform, as it’s designed to take a beating.
Typically, officers see managerial duty from behind a desk and would more often be wearing the service uniform, but that is less the rule in the turbulent times of the 25th century.
Notes:
- The Odyssey Excursion costume can be purchased from the Fleet Starbase Tailor (instructions below).
Officer Dress Uniform
Dress uniforms are reserved for special occasions, such as diplomatic functions, political dinners, weddings, funerals, and other important social events. Dress uniforms are only worn when occasion demands it. This might be a shipboard wedding, meeting with an alien ambassador, or attending the Academy graduation ceremony.
While officers attending a ceremony as a guest will be in their dress uniforms, if there are stewards or guards serving at the event, they will be wearing something more practical.
Notes:
- The Odyssey Dress costume can be purchased from the Fleet Starbase Tailor (instructions below).
- Players who do not own the Starfleet Academy costume, substitute standard Odyssey pants.
ENLISTED PERSONNEL
Enlisted Service Uniform
Starfleet’s enlisted personnel provide the manpower to keep its starships and facilities running efficiently, even under extremely demanding circumstances. Enlisted personnel are vocational specialists, focusing their expertise in a specific field. Not as broadly educated as officers, they are still respected for their practical experience, but must take orders from the officers stationed over them.
In the early 25th century, Starfleet is quickly expanding to fill manpower demands of the various crises with which it contends. Because of this expansion, rapid training programs are greatly increasing Starfleet’s available manpower, but that also means there is a significant gap in education between an average enlisted crew member, who has gone through perhaps a few months of training, and an officer who studied for years at the Academy. This gap has made it necessary to re-institute the old officer/enlisted hierarchy of an earlier era.
Notes:
- Players who do not own the Wrath of Khan costume, use instead the Enlisted Excursion Uniform.
Enlisted Excursion Uniform
Enlisted crew are just as likely to have duties that require them to wear more rugged uniforms as they are to be working in an office. As the technical specialists of Starfleet, enlisted personnel are generally required to be very hands-on with the equipment they maintain. They are also typically the first to respond to a variety of crises such as damage control, security breaches, and dangerous away missions. To that end, they’ll typically wear the excursion uniform for its utility and protection.
Excursion uniforms are meant to protect the wearer from harm while also providing relative comfort and offering a wide range of motion. They might be worn on a dangerous away mission, as a flight suit by shuttle pilots, while working in the bowels of starships, or as the standard duty uniform on a backwater starbase or colony world.
Notes:
- The Odyssey Excursion costume can be purchased from the Fleet Starbase Tailor (instructions below).
Enlisted Dress Uniform
Enlisted crew have their own version of dress uniform that uses a simpler version of the long coat, but retains the gold piping of the officers’ uniform. These uniforms are worn on similar occasions that warrant formal dress. Note that if enlisted personnel are actually working these occasions (by chaperoning them, acting as steward or chef, or providing security), then they’ll more likely be in their service uniform or in a uniform tailor-made for that duty.
Dress uniforms are only worn when occasion demands it. This might be a shipboard wedding, meeting with an alien ambassador, or attending the Academy graduation ceremony.
Notes:
- Players who do not own the Odyssey Long Jacket, substitute standard Odyssey jacket.
- Players who do not own the Wrath of Khan costume, substitute standard Odyssey pants.
CADETS
Cadet Service Uniform
Cadet service uniforms are the standard uniforms cadets are expected to wear while studying at Starfleet Academy or while on training cruises. Just like the officer service uniform, these are considered “business casual” and appropriate for a classroom or office environment.
Notes:
Players who do not own the Starfleet Academy costume, use either the Cadet Excursion Uniform, or the following substitutions (with the listed colors unchanged):
Upper: Sierra 1
Material: Matte
Color Configuration: 03
Lower: Loose - The Next Generation
Feet: Boot Soft
Cadet Excursion Uniform
Cadets might find themselves in training situations such as field exercises, equipment maintenance and combat drills that all require the rugged excursion uniform.
Notes:
- The Odyssey Excursion costume can be purchased from the Fleet Starbase Tailor (instructions below).
Cadet Dress Uniform
As with officers, cadets have a dress uniform worn during special occasions such as parade reviews, formal inspections, and graduation ceremonies.
Notes:
- Players who do not own the Starfleet Academy costume, substitute standard Odyssey pieces.
OTHER VARIANTS
Flag Officer Service Uniform
Flag officers (admirals) are Starfleet’s top-ranking officials. They routinely make decisions that affect thousands of lives, controlling not just single ships but whole squadrons and fleets. Their silver and gold-trimmed uniforms hearken back to the gold braid seen in navies of days past.
Flag officers Vice Admiral and lower wear silver accents. Admirals and fleet admirals wear gold.
Notes:
- When wearing excursion or dress uniforms, flag officers follow the standard color scheme for officers (with appropriate rank pips).
- Players who do not own the the Odyssey Long Jacket or Jupiter Veteran costumes, substitute standard Odyssey pieces.
Commanding Officer Optional Uniform
In 2410, Starfleet honors officers in command of a ship, starbase or other installation with an optional variant of the officer’s service uniform that sports white shoulders. Officers who wear this variant don’t necessarily have the RANK of captain, but they do fill the position of captain/commanding officer of their posting.
This variant honors the tradition of special captain’s jackets and vests seen throughout Starfleet’s history.
Notes:
- When wearing excursion or dress uniforms, commanding officers follow the standard color scheme for officers (with appropriate rank pips).
Medical Uniforms
Starfleet doctors and nurses have the options of wearing “medical whites”. These are not mandatory, but are an option for those in the medical profession to set them apart as healers. These medical whites follow the tradition of special medical dress seen for doctors and nurses in the 23rd and 24th century Starfleet.
When on an away missions, doctors and combat medics might wear the Odyssey Excursion uniform in medical colors.
Notes:
- Players who do not own the the Odyssey Long Jacket, substitute standard Odyssey jacket.
- The Odyssey Excursion costume can be purchased from the Fleet Starbase Tailor (instructions below).
