Clothing

Clothing within the Star Army Universe is not merely a matter of fashion or function; it's a representation of the diverse cultures, technological advancements, and the ever-evolving nature of life among the stars. In this expansive setting, apparel ranges from the practical uniforms of various military organizations to the traditional garb of ancient civilizations, reflecting both utility and identity.

History

The evolution of clothing in the Star Army setting parallels the progression of interstellar societies. Initially, designs were functional, meant to accommodate the needs of space travel and combat. As civilizations encountered one another and technologies advanced, clothing became more than just protective wear; it turned into a statement of individuality and cultural expression.

Description

Clothing in the Star Army setting varies dramatically based on environment, function, and culture. Some key categories are listed below:

Personal Clothing/Civilian Attire

From the flowing robes of the Kuvexian merchants to the rugged gear of an Independent Freelancer , civilian clothing is as varied as the populace. High-tech fabrics that self-clean and adjust temperature are common among the affluent, while hard-wearing synthetics are favored in frontier zones.

Characters can find personal clothing wherever there are stores or purchase it online. There are also ways to make it or even spray it from a can such as Star Army Fabric Spray, Type 38.
