The Republic Armed Forces is the military branch of The Republic of the Sphere.

Like in all Successor States, there also exist further forces in the form of police, civilian guards, armed nobles and private or corporate security forces, all of which can take the form of veritable armies.

Besides these, the Republic also maintains Knights of the Sphere. They are the immediate agents of the Paladins and Exarch’s executive branch, usually acting as aides, military liaisons to local militia commanders or commanders themselves.

Uniforms

Duty Uniform

The Republic Duty Uniform consist of a short, high-collared, royal blue tunic with dark trousers. A service cap or beret may be worn with the uniform. Stripes on the tunics cuff indicate which brigade the soldier belongs to with a color that matches the type of dress uniform. Four represents Mechwarriors, three represents armor crews, two for infantry, and one for support roles.[1]

Field Uniform

The republic field uniform is the same as the duty uniform, but with a light gray tunic instead of blue.[1]

Dress Uniform

The dress uniform of the Republic is a shirt and trousers, worn over a short coat. The Hastati Sentinels wear black, Principes Guards wear dark gray, Triarii Protectors wear blue-gray and the Republic Navy wears dark blue. All wear black trousers with white piping down the side.[1]

The Republic Standing Guard allow some alternation to their uniforms, giving a sense of uniqueness on their world or specialness, though most wear a green tunic with khaki trousers. One example of this change is the Northwind Standing Guard, who adds a kilt and Clan tartan due to their roots of hailing from ancient Scotland.[2]

Knights of the Republic Uniforms

The field uniform is a light gray tunic with dark trousers having scarlet and gold piping down the legs. The Knight’s full name is monogrammed over the left breast.[1]

The service dress uniform is a white tunic with gold braiding at the shoulders with dark trousers and piping down the legs.

The formal dress uniform contains a steel gray tunic and trousers with scarlet and gold piping down the legs and a gold shield on each arm.

Full Knights wear a cape of rank, short and gray in the field and knee-length in scarlet and gold in formal attire.[3]

Paladin Uniform

The Paladins merge aspects from various knight uniforms. They are also allowed to designed the cuffs in gold threads, based on their ethic background, homeworld, or philosophical leanings. A floor length scarlet and gold cape completes the uniform.[4]
