+ | '''Browncoats''' were soldiers who fought for the [[Independent Planets]], who lost to the [[Union of Allied Planets]] in the [[Unification War]]. They were named after the simple, brown leather trench coats they wore as uniforms. They also wore red scarves around their necks. The simplicity of their gear was greatly due to the fact that technology and resources were scarce on the Outer Planets. Conversely, the Alliance's soldiers were called "Purple Bellies", because of the purple tinted body armor they wore on their chests. |
