The TIE pilot flight suit[1] was the flight suit worn by TIE fighter pilots of the Galactic Empire. The suits featured self-contained life support systems as TIE fighters were not pressurized.
Description[]
Most pilots of the Imperial Navy wore the standard black TIE pilot flight suit, which was pressurized and made of energy-shielded fabric.[1][2] Pilots also wore a reinforced, vacuum-sealed helmet with polarized lenses and ship-linked displays and communication equipment.[3][1] Chest armor, an emergency atmospheric unit and a life support pack were worn on top of the suit, while positive-gravity pressure boots and insulated gauntlets covered the wearer's feet and hands.[1][4][1]
Imperial pilot gear was not usually adorned with markings. The elite pilot Baron Valen Rudor had red markings on his helmet and flight suit while stripes and other types of markings were known to have been awarded to some Imperial pilots.[5][6] Exceptional Cardia Academy cadets could have earned yellow stripes on their gear.[6] Similarly, elite Imperial pilots like Captain Vult Skerris who taught at the Skystrike or Cardia academies used yellow markings.[6][5] Trainees at Skystrike Academy wore the academy's emblem on their helmets in addition to the Imperial crest.[7]
