- Light & Fitting: Each uniform is custom tailored to the particular officer's exact measurements, no matter what species or gender they belonged to. The material used in the uniform was light and allowed for freedom of movement when worn, with the only rigid elements being the protective armor around the neck and shoulders.
- Not Combat Armor: Being as this armor is reserved for officers and off-duty soldiers rather than soldiers on the front lines, it's not well-designed to protect the wearer from attacks both physical and energy-based. Officers who lead from behind the lines often wear a protective cuirass to minimize risk.
The Sith Empire prided itself on its technological uniformity and the visual power of its officers and soldiers united against a disorderly horde of anarchism beyond its borders. When a citizen of the Empire looked upon a soldier in full battle regalia they were struck by the power of the Empire's visage, and the same proved true for individuals wearing the stylish and heavily authoritarian military vestments of the Empire's Officer Corps.
The uniform jacket was a short-skirted double-breasted tunic made of gaberwool that fastened with snap closures on the inside, that when closed made a vertical left over right closure. The tunic featured a round choker collar and its skirt extended halfway between the hip and the knee.
Unlike other traditional Imperial uniforms in the galaxy, the Sith Empire's uniform possessed a protective shoulder and neck guard that encompassed one-third of the wearer's upper body. This afforded the officer some added protection in the event of a skirmish, though many officers directly in a combat zone preferred to either discard their uniform for marked Legionnaire armor or wear a durasteel cuirass over the rest of their upper body.
The trousers were flared in the hips and thighs, narrowing at the cuffs so they could be more easily tucked into their wearers' boots. There were laces and lace holes at the lower leg. Officers wore a pair of black, durasteel-toed knee boots with turndown topside cuffs. Common additions to the uniform could include a brimmed command cap and a belt, both featuring an officer's disk. Rank could be indicated by a Rank insignia plaque affixed to the tunic's right breast and a number of code cylinders could be carried in narrow pockets just below each shoulder.
There was no place for medals or battle ribbons on the uniform as the Emperor and his Council were scornful of parading personal commendations as they believed that it emphasized status over duty.
