Shussar’s Army — large aircraft personnel uniforms and ranks.

In a world where nations create airships the size of naval vessels, military structures begin to blur the line between airforce and navy. In Dòrok, the airships themselves are classified with naval terminology, and so are the crews that operate them.

Designing these uniforms became a fascinating exercise in worldbuilding because it forced me to think beyond modern Western military structure. Dòrok is not America. It is not a global superpower, nor a nation built around military dominance. Its armed forces developed through a completely different cultural lens, with different priorities, traditions, and ideas of hierarchy.

That especially shaped the uniforms. While many real-world Central Asian and Eurasian militaries that Dòrok draws its inspiration from eventually adopted Western standards (I.e peaked caps, epaulets, standardized insignias) Dòrok retained its own visual identity. Rank is represented through sashes rather than epaulets, creating a system that feels both functional and culturally distinct.

Harness part made out of olive green webbing. The pad part that holds the o-ring is made of ripstop fabric in the ERDL camo pattern. FRONT TOWARDS LOVER is crudely scrawled in Sharpie somewhere across the abdominal part.
