This article or section is currently being developed and is unfinished.

Please feel free to contribute your own thoughts or work to complete it, but keep in mind that what is here is even more tentative than MOST of the Omnipedia, which is already pretty darn tentative.

This article takes us through the variations of StarCon Uniforms through the years.

Space Quest I

Standard Uniforms

The basic uniform as worn by most of the crew on board the Arcada in Space Quest 1. They appear to wear all white shirts, rather than having grey arms.

Janitor, Second Class

This is the uniform of a civilian janitor on board a "Federation" star ship, it is for janitors that fail to make it into the Sanitation Engineering Corps. It has a black belt and gray boots. A blue StarCon emblem is on the left breast.

Flight Suit

Flight suits from this era were gray with a red belt and red arm patches. A gray and red striped helmet with a visor was also provided.

Misc.

This Xenon Leader (Mayor of Xenon) is wearing a blue uniform, which had a gold emblem on the left breast.

Space Quest I VGA

Standard Uniforms

Three main uniforms are seen in SQ1VGA. These include a grey uniform with purple arms (Roger Wilco and several other crew members wear this design). Another uniform is grey with blue arms. Finally a grey uniform with black arms, Hugh is the only example wearing this uniform.

Another uniform of this era is described as being lime-and-brown (as worn by Jerzy).[1]

Slash Vohaul wore a lab jacket over a teal shirt, and black pants, brown boots, and a brown belt. This however may be a civilian clothing.

Flight Suit

Dark blue with a fishbowl helmet.

Misc. Uniforms

The Federation president wears a military style dark grey uniform (similar to what Sequel Police would wear in the future).

Space Quest II

Basic uniforms

The standard basic uniforms worn by people on XOS4 include grey shirts with purple arms, or pink shirts with purple arms.

Janitor, Second Class

The gray and lavender of the Sanitation Engineering Corps is a uniform to be worn with pride.[2] This version of the uniform also contains a black belt and purple boots. A dark gray StarCon emblem is on the left breast.

Spacesuit

Space suits from this era were primarily white with a black visor.

Station Supervisor

The Station Supervisor's uniform from this era is red with a gray belt and a gold StarCon emblem on the left breast.

Space Quest III

Janitor, Second Class

The uniform of Janitors from this era continues to be a gray uniform, with purple arms and a black belt. The boots had by this time been changed to black. Strangely, the dark gray StarCon emblem moved to the right breast for this period.

Between SQ3 and SQ4 (Hoyle I)

Janitor, Second Class

This is the uniform worn by Roger Wilco at the time of the Xenon invasion after Space Quest 3 and before Space Quest IV as chronicled in Hoyle, Book of Card Games, Vol. 1. Similar to what Roger was wearing in SQ3, but has an additional gold neckline (also compare with uniform in Planet Pinball).

Space Quest IV

Janitor, Second Class

By this era, StarCon had realised their mistake. If dirt didn't show up on a Janitor's uniform, how could they know if they had done any work? Following that logic, Janitors uniforms from this era returned to being white with a black belt, however they continued to have purple arms and black boots. The gray StarCon emblem returned to the left breast.

Planet Pinball

Janitor, Second Class

A uniform variant from the SQ4 era (see also The Adventures of Roger Wilco).

Hoyle 3 & 4

Janitor, Second Class

These are Roger Wilcos from a non-specific time period based on Space Quest IV.

Space Quest V

StarCon uniforms in this era took a major change. All personnel wore black, knee-high boots, and light gray trousers. All personnel also now had a large, gold StarCon emblem

Cadet

Cadet's uniforms from this era were blue.

Officer

An officer's uniform from this era was blue, the same as a cadet. Rank is shown by between zero and two gold bands on the wrist. It is unknown how to distinguish between a cadet and an officer with no gold bands.

Security

Security personnel wore a standard officer's uniform, however they could be distinguished from other personnel by their gold arm patches.

Military Captain

Captains assigned to military posts wore purple uniforms, and some of them had simple gold arm patches, perhaps showing seniority.

Non-Military Captain

Captains assigned to non-military posts wore red uniforms.

Admiral

Admirals wore uniforms identical to Military Captain's, however could be distinguished by their elaborate arm patches.

Engineer

Engineers from this era are not known. Cliffy wore clothes more suited to his profession. This may just be Cliffy's choice, and not regulation. Cliffy has a tendency to disregard authority. It is confirmed that his boots are the standard Official StarCon Engineering Boots.

Space Quest 6

Janitor, Second Class

By this time, the uniform of a Janitor Second Class was brought in line with other StarCon personnel. Keeping with the white top, the StarCon emblem was enlarged into a full patch like the officers. The white trousers were replaced with gray, and also gold shoulder patches are put in place (compare to Planet Pinball uniform in SQ4 era).

Doctor

StarCon doctors uniform is a turquoise blue, however unlike other personnel that is the color of their trousers too. They also wear a white lab coat whilst on duty.

Security Officer

Security personnel continue to wear the blue uniform, however they no longer have the gold arm patches due to the changes in other personnels uniforms.

Science Officer

StarCon obviously wanted a better way of distinguishing between personnel from different departments. Personnel from the science department now wear an orange top, along with the usual gray trousers and black boots.

Communications Officer

Communications personnel now wear a green top with the usual gray trousers and black boots.

Non-Military Captain

Non-Military Captains continue with the same red uniform. The Captain shown here is unusual as he does not wear the standard black boots.

Admiral

Little is known about the new Admiral's uniform, however it would appear that it is now white, with gold arm patches.

EVA Suit

EVA suits from this period look suspiciously similar to a Janitor's uniform. The top half is white, and has purple arms with gold bands around the shoulders and elbows. The bottom half is also white, with white boots and purple bands around the top of the boots. The helmet is also white, with a gold neck.

The Adventures of Roger Wilco

At least one uniform appears to be a white shirt with white arms (similar to standard uniform in SQ1).

Others wear white with red arms, or white with blue arms (gold rings around shoulders as in Planet Pinall). Grey pants with a gold stripe down the side of each leg.

Boyd's uniform is unique. With short sleeves.


Space Piston Comix

One uniform is a reverse with red shirt, and grey arms.
