Imperial scientist technician's uniform

A uniform was worn by scientists who served on projects run by Imperial Military officials during and after the reign of the Galactic Empire. It consisted of a white loose-fitting coverall with a aqua yoke and black stripes outlining the top of the shoulder. The antiseptic coveralls prevented lab contamination, and they were worn with white boots that could ground potentially harmful static charges. The aqua tunic top would change color in the presence of harmful levels of radiation.Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide The left shoulder bore the Imperial crest in black.
The uniform varied slightly depending upon what project the wearer was attached to. The kyber crystal research team at the Tarkin Initiative base on Eadu wore a version of the uniform with the insignia of the Tarkin Initiative in black over the left breast and the back of the right shoulder. Scientists working with Moff Gideon's dark trooper program wore the coveralls with the emblem of the Imperial Department of Military Research.
A similar boilersuit was worn by at least one Imperial nurse on the Death Star. It bore an unidentified symbol on the breast and no insignia on the shoulders. Beneath her uniform, the nurse wore a blue shirt.Vader - Dark Visions 3
