The Type 36 Star Army Cap is a type of peaked cap that was authorized for wear by officers of the Star Army of Yamatai starting in YE 36. It is an optional replacement and not part of the standard issue; it can be purchased from a Star Army Clothing Store, a ship store or Star Army Alterations and Embroidery for 100 KS.

The design of the officer cap is similar in color and materials to the Type 32 Cap (sailor cap), being blue wool (Hex color #223460) with a white silk interior lining with a thick black elastic chin strap tucked inside for windy conditions. It has a black leather peak (brim) and strap on the front. The strap is fastened by a brass button on each side.

In the center front of the hat's band, the hat has an officer insignia patch. The officer insignia patch has an inverted heart shape with the hinomaru surrounded by gold leaves and pearls. Above the hinomaru is the purple Kikyo (Japanese bellflower) that represents the Empress of Yamatai.

The standard version of the cap can be worn by officers ranked Santo Juni through Taii. For officers of Shosa and above, the cap peak features pearls and embroidered gold leaves.

Made only during the first half of YE 36, the original version of the officer cap features a slightly different, more teardrop-shaped cap badge. The badge has two additional pearls on it. This version is the “Type 36” while the current version is the “Type 36A.” They are considered functionally identical.
