This article covers the various insignia in the Re-imagined Series, from arm patches to emblems.

Ship patches

<--- something about the Galactica and Pegasus uniform patches. --->

Duty uniform devices

Pilot wings

Pilot qualification wings


On regular uniforms and flight suits, pilot qualification wings can be worn over left breast. These exist in two variations. "Junior Wings" with two chevrons on a golden diamond and small swept-back wings to the sides, and "Senior Wings" with larger outstretched wings and an additional silver lining behind the diamond. The latter are awarded for extensive experience in flying small craft.

Rank insignia

See Military Ranks (RDM)

Dress uniform devices

Dress uniforms are worn on formal occasions and are thus worn with additional adornments and insignia.

An elaborate ship's insignia made is worn on the uniform flap over the right breast. It is a metal version of the shoulder patch.

All other insignia are worn on a leather sash that runs diagonally across the uniform.

One pin is a variation of a Galactica insignia from the Original Series, with an additional star on top. These come in gold and silver. Like with the other devices, their function is unknown. They are likely medals awarded for distinguished service or valor.

An exception to this are Admirals, like Adm. Corman, who can wear uniform devices on their normal blue duty uniforms (Hero).
