I actually wanted to avoid real-world syllabaries and writing systems, but unfortunately, unless it's Latin or Greek, I can't tell real ones from fake ones! <Shame.> Within the context of the setting, at least, that's the Yiggish "extradimensional" language, originally a dialect of Maklak. It's used for theurgical summonings and stamped on religious artifacts--these hats are analogous to Commander Corva's. The typeface is called Ex Kata Opaque.

Left tassel, reading down: Chi-Ii-So Right tassel: To-Hi-No I don't think they really mean anything, but I'm not exactly fluent. Studied for only a year-and-a-half, and that was a decade ago. Still, I can recognize katakana and hiragana when I see it. You remember "The Matrix," and all those scenes of green code lines tracing downwards? They mixed a bunch of left-right-reversed katakana into the glyphs. I spy some Japanese katakana on the hat-tassels in panel four.
