Federation Starfleet ranks (early 2380s)

Early in the 2380s decade, a new Starfleet uniform was introduced (see the Starfleet uniform of the early 2380s). This uniform style represented a return by Starfleet to a brighter, more noticable uniform following the more understated gray-shouldered black uniforms in use from the beginning of the Dominion War.

Although the new uniform resembled a variant style of the 2360s uniform, with division color around the yoke and shoulders, the new uniforms do not feature an undershirt collar for placement of rank insignia. Instead, insignia showing rank are placed on a stand-up collar. The rank pips use the same general arrangements as the previous designs to show rank.
