Description: Clone Commando Delta-07 (“Sev”)
Prefix: RC
Detachment: Clone Trooper Detachment
Context: Star Wars: Republic Commando (game and novels)

Republic Commandos are elite trained soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. They are assigned to carry out operations too delicate for standard troopers, such as covert infiltration, sabotage, demolition, and assassination. RC-1207, nicknamed "Sev," was Delta Squad's star sniper and ambush expert, known for his tracking and survival skills. Taking great pleasure in his role, Sev’s enthusiasm for combat sometimes struck the other members of Delta Squad as disturbing.

This is a visual guide used for 501st costume approval, not a how-to for construction. Construction details are found at the costume's Detachment website. Measurements provided here are generalized, and not criteria for approval. All 501st costumes are proportionate to the wearer in terms of size, fit, and scale. During evaluation, both text and images (CRL and Reference) must be considered. When in doubt about a feature of a submitted costume, GMLs should post questions in the Legion forum's DL/GML peer review section.
