Description: Captain Argyus Prefix: TR Detachment: Sovereign Protectors Context: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 1, Episode 9 Captain Faro Argyus was a member of the Senate Guard, a group of soldiers sworn to uphold the laws of the Republic.

His betrayal of the Republic and loyalty to Count Dooku earns him a place in the 501st.

For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met. The Sovereign Protectors Detachment has defined additional optional levels of costuming excellence.

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.
