The attire donned by Chiss Ascendancy Ruling Families family members consisted of a form-fitting tunic paired with tall, black collars. Uniform color served to distinguish the families: the Mitth family wore burgundy, while the Chaf family wore yellow.
Syndic Mitth'raw'nuruodo's Household Phalanx Chiss warriors sported a burgundy version, complete with an Imperial rank insignia plaque. Household Phalanx commanders also wore a variation, exemplified by Commander Kres'ten'tarthi of Syndic Mitth'raw'nuruodo's Household Phalanx, who wore a burgundy uniform.
Those serving aboard the Fifth Ruling Family flagship, the Chaf Exalted—a vessel under the command of Aristocra Chaf'orm'bintrano's fleet—were clad in yellow uniforms.
In the novel The New Jedi Order: Force Heretic II: Refugee, Commander Hess'irolia'nuruodo was described as wearing a burgundy-and-black uniform, a color combination previously exclusive to Syndic Mitth'raw'nuruodo's Household Phalanx Chiss warriors. However, her depiction in The Essential Reader's Companion shows her in a Defense Fleet uniform featuring red piping along the arms, symbolizing the Red Flame ideal.
