Engineering suit

An engineering suit was a specialised type of clothing used to protect the wearer from the dangerous environment of certain areas of engineering on starships. In the 2260s Starfleet-issue engineering suits included a helmet which completely masked the head.

In 2266 James T. Kirk and Spock donned engineering suits to extract an power rod from the power unit of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). Even though they wore the suits it was still necessary for them to undergo decontamination after completing the operation. 


 * The name of this garment is speculative; in the comic Captain Kirk simply describes them as "special clothing".
