Description: Stormtrooper, Legacy Era Female
Prefix: TK
Detachment: First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment
Context: Star Wars Legacy Comics/Jes Gistang Statuette


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

FISD Defines additional, optional levels of costuming excellence. In the page below, requirements for Level 2 “Expert Infantry” are listed in blue. Requirements for Level 3 “Centurion” are listed in red. Please visit the FISD web site for a full description of these standards.

Special Notes:

  • EVA foam & Similar materials are not approvable.
  • Blasters are not required for legion membership per our weapons policy. A Blaster is required for level 2 and above.
  • Armor is scaled proportionately to the wearer.
  • 3D printed components must have no visible print lines and must be smooth for a realistic appearance.

A and B Versions of the Legacy Era Female Costume:

Please note that there are two different approvable options for this costume. The "A" version is based on reference detail from the Gentle Giant statue. The "B" version uses a comic book for reference. The differences are listed below as separate entries for A and B costume parts. For basic approval mixing and matching items from the two versions is not allowed. Reference material may be found on the 1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment Forums.


This Visual Guide has been reviewed by the detachment staff and the LMO team and is certified for use as a minimum approval guideline for GMLs. GMLs are free to approve this costume type.


  • This document is not intended to be a detailed how-to on costume construction; rather a visual guide to be used for 501st costume approval. Details on construction may be found on the respective costume detachment web forum.
  • GMLs uncertain about an aspect of submitted costume shall post questions in the appropriate DL/GML peer review section of the Legion forum.
  • Measurements given in this document are intended to be approximate and generalized; not criteria for approval.
  • Requirements for all 501st costumes are proportional to the wearer in scale, fit and size.
  • Text descriptions are only one part of the guideline. GMLs and costumers must consider both text and pictures (CRL and Reference) when reviewing the costume.
