Description: Imperial Officer: Mimban

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.
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.”

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.
