For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.

The Imperial Officer Corps Defines additional, optional levels of costuming excellence. In the page below, requirements for Level 2 “Executor” are listed in blue. Requirements for Level 3 “Imperator” are listed in red.

Special Notes:

  • The specific and distinct shade of “Olive green” used by most ultra-inexpensive Cosplay shops is not adequately close to the “Feldgrau” standard to achieve L2/L3 approval.”
