Tal'Diann / Tal-Diann: Aaiydhir s'Tal'Diann (Tal'Diann Uniforms)

Aaiydhir s'Tal'Diann

(Uniforms of the Tal'Diann)

Members of the Tal'Diann may wear the usual RRF Star Navy uniforms as well as Tal'Diann fleet uniforms; however, the use of RRF Star Navy uniforms (like the uniforms of the Republic Militia) is not official Tal'Diann policy (it is permitted, since most of our personnel are recruited from the Star Navy, but these are RRF Star Navy uniforms and are NOT Tal'Diann uniforms), because the Tal'Diann is distinct from the Star Navy (and the Militia), a separate branch of the Romulan Republic Force. An instruction guide is provided for the Tal'Diann Class A Service Uniform 3 (the standard Class A Service Uniform of the Tal'Diann; variants 1 and 2 are regulation, but not standard).

A member of the active duty cadre of Tal'Diann/Tal-Diann need only have the Tal'Diann Class A Service Uniform 3 for active duty personnel (shown on the left below for a Medical Officer of the High Command; Silver = Medical), and a cadet of the Lasasam s'Tal'Diann/Lasasam s'Tal-Diann need only have the Lasasam s'Tal'Diann Class A Service Uniform 3 for cadets (shown on the right below for a Cadet studying for service in Security; Blue = Security). Other examples further down are simply extra styles which may be also worn in the appropriate circumstances.

Explanation

Fleet uniforms of the Tal'Diann are primarily black (with some exceptions for dress uniforms and casual uniforms), with various colors accenting the black, depending on Fleet Rank and/or department, as stated hereafter:

The highest three offices, which are sometimes referred to colloquially as the "Triumvirate," but properly named "Ekhiel Fvillhum," or "Praetor's Council," are First, Second, and Third in Command of the fleet. Their official office titles are, respectively, Fvillhu u'galae'Enriov (Praetor and Fleet Admiral), Hmnial Fvillhum (Aide-de-Camp of the Praetor), and Khoilmnriir Hwyejhaien (Commandant of Holdings).

Fvillhu u'galae'Enriov (Praetor and Fleet Admiral)
- Black with Medium to Light Violet (Floral Lavender is ideal, usually these shades are G17 and lower on the palette) and Dark Violet (Plum) or Grey-Violet (Lavender), or Dark Violet (anything from Plum to Eggplant) with Medium-Light Violet (Floral Lavender) and Black. Red, White, and/or division color may also be included. In addition, the Fvillhu u'galae'Enriov may wear a greater amount of any color than black (such uniforms are generally Dress Uniforms or Casual Uniforms, as well as her "Special High Command Guest of the Academy" uniform -- which is almost entirely Floral Lavender, with Science Grey accents and a trace of Black).
Hmnial Fvillhum (Aide-de-Camp of the Praetor), KDF-allied branch
- Black and Dark Violet (Plum) and Black Rose (optionally with Red, White, and/or division color also).
Khoilmnriir Hwyejhaien (Commandant of Holdings), KDF-allied branch
- Black and whatever he likes (due to the more restrictive color palette available to him, he being Reman).

galae'Raenasa (Fleet High Command = galae'Enriov khre'Enriov, Enriov)
- Black and Dark Violet (around Plum or darker, usually G17 and darker, with G21 being ideal), optionally with Red, White, and/or division color also.

galae'Leih (Fleet Command = galae'Enriov, khre'Enriov, Enriov, u'khre'Riov)
- Black with Red, optionally with White and/or division color also. (Red is usually A5 on the palette.)

Riov (Commander [equivalent to UFP "Captain" or "Fleet Captain"]) and higher
- Black with White and division color. (White is usually I13 on the color palette.)

arifv Vriafwen u'Hiifvenai (Division of Sciences and Medicine -- Enarrain and up)
- Black with Grey (Medical is a lighter grey we call "silver," usually I16 on the palette, whereas Science is a darker grey, usually I21 on the palette.)

arifv Etrehafwen (Division of Engineering -- Enarrain and up)
- Black with Gold (Gold is usually C7 on the palette.)

arifv ih'amnhhei (Tactical Division -- Enarrain and up)
- Black with Green (usually E3)

arifv dhenon (Division of Security -- Enarrain and up)
- Black with Blue (usually F5)

Erein (Ensign)
- Solid Black (usually I24)

Notes:
- Someone with the Fleet Rank of Erein may wear only a solid black fleet uniform with the fleet emblem on the shoulder.
- Someone who is a Science or Medical Officer, and has earned the Fleet Rank of Enarrain, may wear a fleet uniform which is black with grey or silver accents, with the fleet emblem on the shoulder. This may also be worn by any Science or Medical Officer in the Tal'Diann who has earned a higher Fleet Rank (all the way up to and including the rank of galae'Enriov).
- Someone who is Engineering or Operations Officer, and has earned the Fleet Rank of Enarrain, may wear a fleet uniform which is black with gold accents, with the fleet emblem on the shoulder. As above, any fleet member from the Engineering and Operations Division who has earned at least the Fleet Rank of Enarrain may wear this.
- Any fleet member who has earned at least the Fleet Rank of Enarrain and is a Tactical Officer may wear a fleet uniform which is black with green accents, with the fleet emblem on the shoulder.
- Any fleet member who has earned at least the Fleet Rank of Enarrain and is a Security Officer may wear a fleet uniform which is black with blue accents, with the fleet emblem on the shoulder.
- Yes, the Tactical Division and the Division of Security are considered separate departments in the Tal'Diann (and sometimes in other fleets of the RRF Star Navy).

Examples

Example images are shown below. These are examples only; uniform style may vary from ship to ship, bearing in mind that the Class A Service Uniform instructions above are for the commander of the vessel to wear to Tal'Diann events, unless notice is given prior that the event will be otherwise. Also, color palette is currently much more limited for Tal'Diann officers from the KDF, so allowances will of course be made for such limitations until such time as the KDF color issues are resolved.
