Chapter 26 - Bajoran Uniforms (Patreon)

I looked down at my militia uniform, slightly modified from the standard to fit over my previous armor design, before I had added the ability for my armor to mimic other clothing. Luckily, modern fashion included a lot of tight fits, so my mimicked clothing wouldn’t look out of place. The wardrobe I was commissioning from Garak was meant for those times when I couldn’t just use my armor’s mimic function, so the measurements had to include the clothes on top of the armor.

The militia uniform was made up of three parts. The boots, which were a leather like material that reached up to mid calf. Slightly puffy pants that tucked into those same boots. And a tunic like shirt which had two parts, one color on the torso, another for the arms. Male officers had a choice of a two tone woodsy brown uniform or a pants torso combination of a grayish blue with grayish green sleeves. I chose the latter as the resemblance to Odo was off putting.

The current Bajoran Militia uniform was somewhat lacking in style. The current uniform design was actually based on a design that Bajoran law enforcement wore pre-Occupation (they didn’t have a military before) and was the same uniform seen in the show, so there was some historical weight behind it. When I’d been asked by the First Minister to take on this post I had had a lot of genuine battles to fight with the Provisional Government and trying to get them to abandon the old uniform design seemed like a battle with very little in the way of practical reward, so I’d let it go, even though it was kind of ugly, in my opinion.
