The helmet is a protective headwear worn by humanoids, even in the 25th century.
Earth Defense Directorate
Pilots and soldiers of the Earth Defense Directorate wear helmets during various operations.
Pilot Helmet
Thunderfighter pilots wear a white, open-faced helmet featuring a pair of opposing red "lightning bolts" (with black and yellow-gold pin striping outlines) on the top, flanking the thin centered "mohawk" going from front to back of the helmet. The sides of the helmet feature two-tone red and black decorative flourishes with black, squat "mandibles" that hover over the wearer's cheekbones. A microphone suspended by a rigid wire booms out from the short mandible from the helmet's left chin, suggesting that the helmet includes a communications suite.
The helmet is held in place by padding inside of the helmet, with "doughnut" style ear-pads providing a pressure fit to the wearer in the absence of a chinstrap.
A rare variant helmet is intermittently worn by Col. Wilma Deering, with her abbreviated rank and last name printed on the wearer's right side (BR25: Film, "Awakening"). Otherwise, EDD pilot helmets do not have any identifying marks on their helmets.
