Coruscant Security Force uniform

OnALegendsArticle

"Wearing armor may be the latest style on the Rimworlds, but here in civilization we usually take off our spacesuits, planetside. Heavy armor usually means trouble."
―Coruscant Security Force files[1]

The Coruscant Security Force uniform was the standard uniform issued to police officers of the Coruscant Security Force. While the CSF had several variations in style throughout its history and depending on the functions of the officer, the color scheme of navy blue and yellow markings remained fairly regular.

Officers were equipped with a shirt and tunic, pants, boots, utility belts, blast vest, a blast helmet and comlinks. Generally the uniforms had markings denoting officers of a higher rank. Undercover officers, detectives, and various command staff did not have to wear uniforms and could wear civilian dress. Officers would be issued IDs to identify themselves when not in uniform.
