The Visitor uniforms have been altered since V: The Mini Series.. In addition to the standard red uniformed Visitor officers, and the black armoured Shock Troopers, there are now gold helmeted Security officers.. In addition, some of the Visitor officers ( For example Steven ) have gold sections on their uniforms; this may be to indicate that they have command over the new security forces..
