( ) Standard duty uniforms . Both male and female versions of the standard Militia duty uniform consisted of a two - piece uniform ( with an optional belt ) and color - matched boots ; rank insignia was worn on the left collar , and a combadge was worn on the right breast . Security chief s and their deputies generally wore uniforms without collars , and therefore did not display any rank insignia . ( ) Constable Odo began to wear a collar on his uniform in 2371 , but held no official rank to display . ( ) The duty uniforms were characterized by division . The primary section of the standard uniform consisted of a ribbed , corduroy - type material , with quilted shoulders and sleeves displayed in a secondary color . White , vented undershirts were worn under the uniform jacket . Members of the command division wore red uniforms with maroon shoulders ; the security team wore brown uniforms with tan shoulders ; engineering and operations staff wore silver with grey . ( ) In 2372 , members of the Deep Space 9 engineering staff began to wear green uniforms with gray shoulders . ( ) The primary fabric used in the duty uniforms was Inkarian wool , which was known for being " uncomfortable " and " itchy " to first - time wearers ; when Garak fabricated a new uniform for Odo in late 2372 , he told the constable that he ' d " get used to it . " ( ) Senior officers . In late 2369 , the Militia introduced variant uniforms for senior officers . Major Kira Nerys began to wear a tighter - fitting , one - piece version of the standard female Command - division uniform . ( ) In early 2372 , she started wearing a sleeker one - piece uniform , with a smooth primary section , waffle - fabric sleeves , and a belt similar to her previous uniform . ( ) After being promoted to colonel in 2375 , Kira wore a similar uniform to her previous Major design , with waffle - fabric extending upwards from the mid - waist and covering the arms . ( ) Flag officers . Flag officers in the Bajoran Militia , including officers ranked general and navarch , wore more formal versions of the standard duty uniform . Colored the same silver as the regular Operations - division uniform , the quilted gray shoulder covering on this version of the uniform extended across the entire upper chest . Generals wore special patches on their shoulders . ( ) Dress uniform . The Militia dress uniform was a variant of the standard duty uniform . It was worn for special occasions such as wedding s , courts martial , funeral s , and the greeting of ambassador ial delegations and heads of state . The female version of the uniform included a coat which extended to the mid - thigh , and wrapped around the wearer to secure at the right side with a silver brooch - like device . Boots and leggings that matched the coat were also worn . Command officers who normally wore burgundy color duty uniforms wore pale purple dress uniforms . Combadge and rank insignia were worn on the dress uniform in the same position as the duty uniform . ( ) Maternity uniform . Maternity versions of the senior officer uniforms were also available , consisting of a separate uniform top that flared out below the waist . After becoming a surrogate mother to Kirayoshi O ' Brien in late 2372 , Kira Nerys wore this uniform until his birth in mid - 2373 . ( ) Medical attire . Staff . Nurse s and medical assistants working in the Deep Space 9 infirmary wore one - piece , two - colored uniforms with a design emulating the standard duty uniform . A design worn through early 2369 featured a brown midsection with mustard - yellow shoulders and leggings , ( ) but a replacement design consisting of a purple midsection with tan shoulders and leggings soon replaced it . ( ) A variation on the brown and yellow design was used in early 2369 by medical support staff . ( ) Patients . Patients in the Deep Space 9 infirmary were issued green , two - piece gowns when undergoing care in 2369 , with embroidered shoulder areas emulating the design of the standard duty uniform . ( ) . In 2370 , the green gowns were replaced with flowing purple gowns featuring wide orange bands crossing the shoulder areas . This style of gown was used through at least 2375 . ( ) . Appendices .
