Folks,

We need to take direction from the DET CO to define standards for the ShadowTrooper subset of SpecOps. One reason we like SpecOps is that is not the mainstream, so to speak, but we need standards in accordance with overall Legion & Legion Detachment direction. We also have a role now in setting those standards (a great opportunity).

Below is a template on where we need to get to on ShadowTroopers, and I'm thankful to our friends serving overseas getting a better graphic depection of our troop type.

Please see below and we can start thinking whats most appropriate. I would rather this not be unilateral and would appreciate any and all inputs.

Thanks,
Tim


Stealth Trooper/Blackhole Trooper 501st Specs
At the very least, a 501st Imperial Stealth Trooper consists of the following REQUIRED items:
- A full set of “professional quality” black stormtrooper armor. Custom paint schemes/deviations from official LFL/licensee sources are NOT permitted or encouraged by the 501st Legion (see Customization Section)
- Black non-fabric Chelsea-style boots (texture-less calf-high laceless boots with conservative heel and no metal straps, buckles, or ornamental stitching).
- Black undersuit (Under Armor, divesuit, etc)
- Black neckseal
- Black textureless jersey-style gloves with no visible logos, tags, extraneous straps, buckles or overly ornamental stitching.
- Black socks
- One the following blaster types (unless prohibited by either local law or venue organizers):
- A standard Imperial-issue E-11 blaster w/ Imperial-issue black leather holster OR
- A standard Imperial-issue BFG (MG-42, etc.)


Approved Options - Entirely optional (accepted, but not required)
- An Imperial-issue leather or vinyl Rank Pauldron
- A black comlink


The following non-visible costume modifications are permitted:
- Black snap suspension system
- Static burst/voice amp for communication
- Gel insoles
- Non-visible personal hydration system
- Non-visible cooling system


Customization – Hereby known as “custom”
-Ornamental customization (beyond the above described standards) is NOT condoned by the 501st and a “Custom” should not be worn at “official” 501st troops (unless previously authorized by their local GML).
-The TX Detachment permits “Custom” members within our internal forums with the express understanding that they can't be granted a 501st TX-ID without LMO approval.
