The Type 46 Pullover is part of the standard duty uniform collection used by the Nepleslian Reds. It is designed for general duties, garrison activities, and shipboard operations, providing practicality, comfort, and adaptability. The Type 46 Pullover was introduced in YE 46.

In YE 44 the lack of standards for uniforms were apparant when the Fujiko Development Corporation organized many existing Nepleslian Red militias. Forming the Fujiko Self-Defense Force, there was a variety of uniforms that needed replaced to form a cohesive look. One lazy uniform design from Nepleslian Research and Manufacturing decided to take a plagerized version of the YE 30 NSMC Standard Uniform's pullover. Merely changing the color, cut (as well as add the semi-bodysuit version), and shoulder design, there was shock among Kennewes produced clones when it was picked for usage.

The Type 46 Pullover is primarily characterized by its maroon colored base, symbolizing the Nepleslian Reds as a faction. It has black padding on the shoulders, used primarily to add detail for an otherwise plain-looking uniform item and for the attachment of patches and insignia. The design comes in two weights: summer and winter, with both possessing a turtleneck design.

The Type 46 Pullover comes in two main cuts, each tailored for different needs and preferences:

This version of the uniform is a long-sleeved pullover shity designed to fit comfortably for all FSDF personnel, regardless of gender.

The semi-bodysuit variant is used primarily by female personnel for situations where increased flexibility is needed. Others use the opportunity to stylize themselves as it only covers the upper body and arms.

The Type 46 Pullover is designed to provide maximum versatility for FSDF personnel in a wide range of environments. For general garrison duties, it allows soldiers to maintain a professional appearance while staying comfortable during long shifts. The maroon color and the FSDF insignia serve to foster a sense of unity and pride among the personnel, contributing to high morale and a cohesive atmosphere in the ranks. The uniform's simple yet effective design makes it well-suited for both indoor administrative tasks and outdoor base activities, ensuring personnel are presentable and ready to perform their duties without needing specialized attire.

In shipboard settings, the pullover offers particular benefits due to its lightweight and flexible material. Personnel working on starships often need to navigate narrow corridors and perform maintenance in confined spaces. The Type 46 Pullover's lack of bulky armor and its fitted design allow crew members to move freely while still maintaining a professional look. The unisex version can be worn comfortably under additional protective gear, such as vests or harnesses, providing a good balance between ease of movement and layered defense as needed.

For training exercises and physically demanding tasks, the female bodysuit variant offers enhanced mobility. Its form-fitting design provides greater comfort during physical activities such as drills, fitness routines, or shipboard emergencies. It also allows for easy layering under tactical gear, making it an ideal choice for situations where personnel need to transition from a non-combat setting to a more active role. By accommodating the unique requirements of different personnel, the Type 46 Pullover supports a broad range of activities, emphasizing adaptability and practicality without sacrificing the professional image expected of FSDF members.
