Description: Imperial Gunner Prefix: IG Detachment: Imperial Gunnery Corps Context: Rogue One Operating the immense weaponry of the Imperial Navy are skilled gunners dressed in specialized uniforms. The gunner’s features are entirely obscured by a large, sweeping helmet with a single wrap-around visor. The dark helmet helps suppress some of the dangerous flashback from such massive cannons as the ground based turbolasers protecting ground-based installations and the Death Star’s main weapon. This variant appears in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. {{{5}}}

Required Costume Components

The following costume components are present and appear as described below.

Imperial Gunner Helmet Helmet is comprised of (5) main pieces: Dome, Eye Lens, Jawbone, Scoop, and Combox. For more detailed images please reference the Imperial Gunner Helmet Detail page. The helmet has a matte, semi-gloss, or glossy finish. If painted, the finish is smooth without runs or streaks. Dome: The dome is approximately 11" (22.5cm) wide, 13" long (27.5cm), and about 6" (15cm) tall (from the top of the eye lens). The sides of the dome have a curve/drop around the ears that is ~2" (5cm) tall. An alternate style helmet that is taller is also accurate. It is approximately 10.5" (26.7cm) wide and 9" (22.5cm) tall (from top of the visor). No change in length. A white or silver Imperial Cog symbol, approximately 3 inches (7.5cm) in diameter, is centered on the front top of the helmet. Eye Lens: The eye lens is tinted transparent plastic that matches the curve of the dome. It can be between 1.5" (3.7cm) and 2" (5cm) tall. For increased airflow, a small 1mm gap is permissible between the lip of the jawbone and the lens. Jawbone: The nose of the jawbone extends outward, between 1.5" (37mm) to 2.5" (62mm) past the eye lens. The wearer’s chin is not visible outside of the jawbone. The jawbone is affixed to the inside of dome using (2) screws or rivets on each ear. Scoop: The scoop is attached to the dome using (2) screws or rivets at the top of the helmet. Scoop is slightly arrowhead in shape and curved to the contours of the dome. Scoop can be oriented to point from straight back to about 60 degrees down. Comlink Box: Comlink is located on the left side of helmet. Comlink does not have any visible screws or other means that attach it to the dome. Rectangular Blue Button – top front of comlink. Plastic material. Round Red Button – bottom front of comlink. (OPTIONAL) The Blue and Red Buttons may be illuminated in a solid, non-blinking pattern. No other buttons are illuminated. Round White Button – side of comlink. (2) Raised Bumps – above round white button, near top of combox. (4) Vertical Lines – right of the round white button. These run almost the entire height of the comlink face. (2) White Square Buttons – top of comlink. Buttons are approximately 1⁄4" (6mm) to 1⁄2" (12mm) per side depending on the size of the comlink face. The buttons are smaller than the dimensions of the top face. Buttons can also be rectangular. Antenna – top rear behind the two white buttons. Unpainted metal finish. About 1⁄8" (3mm) to 3⁄16" (4.5mm) in diameter and 6" (15cm) to 8" (20cm) in visible length.
