Flap Open Guidelines

Opening the Flap on the UFS Uniform is a visual representation that you are Out of Character or "in relaxation mode" whereby rank and position (while respected) is more relaxed than during a Mission or Roleplay Area

Off Duty Dress Code/Visitors Dress Code

United Federation Starfleet is a moderate/PG group. Therefore when visiting its assets the Dress Code needs to adhere to this setting.

Minimum Dress code is for areas to be covered up in accordance with the theme of the area you are visiting.

It is NOT authorised to wear the following

• Underwear on its own.
• Sports Bras that can be considered revealing
• Shorts on their own showing chest (Men)
• Any BDSM/RLV collars, chains, leashes etc
• Any clothing deemed Adult in nature
• Nakedness is prohibited on all UFS Assets

UF STARFLEET TITLERS

United Federation Starfleet makes use of Titlers in the Metaverse to denote a person's rank, Branch, position and duty. The titlers are a required component of the UFS Uniform. The following format is how to correctly display this information:

Rank | Branch
Position | Ship/Station Name

e.g. Captain | Command
Commanding Officer | SS Peedy Thor

United Federation Starfleet does NOT utilise any other form of representation in the titler.

• Rank is denoted by name only not symbols
• Only Primary Position is to be listed
• Species may be listed if not apparent
• Roleplay Name may be included if different from display name

An Example of additional information that can be utilized

Andrew Bacon
Captain | Command
Commanding Officer | SS Peedy Thor
Tellarite

An Example of how NOT to display the titler

The right honourable Andrew Bacon of the porta potty coalition

●●●● Captain | Command
SS Peedy Thor | Commanding Officer
Headquarters Chief of Janitorial Duties
UFS Academy Instructor
Tellarite

Titler colors are to be the same as the color of your duty uniform as listed above under Duty Uniforms.

Once specializations have been authorized, they are recorded in the member's Service Jacket, and members in non-supervisory roles are authorized to change their billet in their titler to the specialization. For instance, a Science Officer on board USS Maxwell might have the following in their titler:

Lieutenant | Science
Science Officer | USS Maxwell

If that person were to choose "Astrophysicist" as their specialization, they could change their titler to instead say:

Lieutenant | Science
Astrophysicist | USS Maxwell

NOTE: If you are a Chief or Vice-Chief of a Department, you can still choose a specialization, and it will still be recorded in your Service Jacket. However, you will still have your Chief or Vice-Chief title in your titler.
