Star Army Beret

The Star Army of Yamatai has used berets at various points in its history as part of Star Army Uniforms.

The Star Army and its immediate predecessor, the Uesureyan Empire Spacy, used berets in the following colors:

Planetary forces used a black beret from YE 22 until YE 32 when the Star Army Cap, Type 32 came into service. It was produced by WickedArms Industries and cost 20 KS.

The UE Spacy used a royal blue beret with the triangle logo of the Uesureyan Star Empire on it. It was replaced by the Star Army Tricorne in YE 21.

The Star Army also used a forest green beret for its planetary forces for a couple years. It was adopted in YE 34¹⁾ and discontinued at the start of YE 36²⁾. Some critics did not like the beret because they felt the look was too close to the beret used by the Nepleslian Space Marine Corps. After it was discontinued, the berets were sold as surplus. The Star Army Rikugun started using them again in YE 39 as part of the Star Army Field Uniform, Type 37.
