Branch Colours
Uniforms are in colours according to a person's current branch - their branch may change several times in their career, and staff are sometimes temporarily assigned to another branch.
Ship base colours can be anything they want, although their highlights must be their dragon colours. It takes a ship up to an hour (depending on the degree of change) to change base skin colours. Colours are usually on the darker end of the scale.
Colour | Function |
Blue | Merchant Navy (vast majority) |
Green | Military / Police |
Purple | Diplomatic / Government |
Orange | Free Ship currently unattached |
Red (not a ship skin colour) | Human form of ships still in debt, Civilians temporarily using military clothes |
Note free ships not currently attached to Confederation tend to draw distrust - "What's their problem? Why have they chosen not to help us?"
