Baldric

A baldric, also known as a sash, was a wide, usually ornamental belt worn over one shoulder and around the waist that is typically used to carry weapons and/or denote rank. ()
== Andorian baldric ==
In the 22nd century, some members of the Andorian Imperial Guard wore a baldric either over their left shoulder or their right. This Andorian baldric was made of a leather-like material and comprised of two straps (one thick, one thin) connected to a belt.
Thy'lek Shran often wore this baldric, placing it over his left shoulder. () He was no longer wearing the baldric when he boarded in 2161, having left the Guard five years earlier. ()
