Description: Imperial Officer: Mimban
Prefix: ID
Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps
Context: Solo: A Star Wars Story

  • The battle of Mimban was an Imperial military operation that took place in 10 BBY on the swamp planet Mimban in an effort to secure the planet’s vital resources. The Mimbanese Liberation Army were eager to drive the Imperials from their home world at all costs. The campaign saw the deployment of numerous Imperial swamp troopers and wet-weather gear stormtroopers, and the Empire notably made use of trench warfare against the Mimbanese.


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.”
