New Republic Naval uniforms?

What do members of the NR's starfleet wear? Something akin to the uniforms we see aboard Home One in ROTJ?

 

I don't remember the regular duty uniform, but they had a snappy white dress uniform in the Rogue Squadron and Chewbacca comics which apparently remained standard from just after Endor until the NJO.

You can see Wedge wearing one on the Japanese cover of Rebel Dream.

 

Also on the cover of TFP.

 

I always thought they wore a variation of the khakis Dodanna was wearing in ANH.

 

There's a picture of Wedge on the Lusankya in Crimson Empire. He's wearing a brownish uniform with a wierd collar.

 

A couple points...

1. That white uniform Wedge is wearing was the dress uniform for the New Republic up until at least the wedding to Luke Skywalker to Mara Jade.

2. The "Dodonna-esque" uniforms were common as well, serving as an unofficial uniform at least up to the return of Palpatine.

3. By the Black Fleet Crisis, there is finally a official Defense Force uniform, but we never get a description. It is noted that Ackbar has finally taken to wearing it, as opposed to his favorite white uniform.

Sadly, uniforms for the New Republic largely depend on who is writing the book or drawing the comic.

Thanks all. I guess there would be a lot of variety, what with all the different groups that comprised the Rebellion and later NR.

 

The Rogue Squadron comics answer this, yes?

 

Well in Ambush at Corellia it states in one of the first chapters when Kalenda comes over to Han and he doesnt know who it is it describes her wearing the "dark blue naval uniform of the republic" or something along those lines (obviously referring to the NR)

 

Don't we get a good description of dress uniforms in Starfighters of Adumar?

 

Yes, and the Rogue Squadron comics showed it.

I always assumed that the standard "field" uniform for the NR was what Madine, Lando, and the other senior officers in RotJ wear...

We see it semi-regularly in the comics, too...

But Kalenda isn't even military - by that point, NRI has been totally seperated in the chain of command...

My mistake. My memories lacking a bit as Ive been on holidays for a few months and have had no real reason to think.

 

And how would someone like General Eating a Boat fit into this?

 

You could well be right about what it says; it's just the way that the chain of command has been set up (and perhaps only in subsequent EU material)...

Could they have gone back to Old Republic blue uniforms?

-TMcE

 

I thought that was the same uniform he was wearing in Leviathan?

 

I'm pretty sure those are just dress uniforms.

 

I'm pretty sure that's what he meant. His post was in response to someone mentioning a description of dress uniforms.

Anyway, the thing about Ambush at Corellia and the "dark blue uniform of the Republic" is interesting, considering the OR naval uniforms were dark blue.

 

For a look at the New Galactic Republic naval uniform find Crimson Empire I or maybe II. Wedge, Kenth, Tycho were shown wearing NRDF uniforms while onboard the Lusankya. Reminds one of space uniforms from 1950s sci-fi movies.

 

Any pics of those uniform?

Besides, depending on who is doing the writing or drawing, the damed uniforms always seem to change.

Here's Ackbar's uniform from Leviathan:

And then from Crimson Empire-

Talk about old sci-fi uniform. I don't think it helps that the guy with white hair standing next to him reminds me of Morbius from Forbidden Planet

 

Well, Ackbar's uniform in Leviathan may not be represenative of all flag officer uniforms, in that he is the Supreme Commander of the New Republic military and Admiral of the Fleet.

As for those uniforms that Wedge and co are wearing, I am not sure if they have been desribed in any other setting than that comic.

And they look kind of flashy. Probably dress uniform.

As stated above, they've appeared on NJO covers in Japan. I wish these had been standardized somewhere.

Then again, it's not like the Rebellion had standardized uniforms.
