Description: Imperial Scanning Crew
Prefix: IC
Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps
Context: Star Wars Episodes IV-VI

Imperial scanning crews are trained in the use of a variety of sensing equipment and are responsible for investigating the interior of vessels and other installations for possible unseen and hidden dangers. Scanning Crews are required when a thorough search is deemed necessary to detect equipment, contraband and life forms that might have eluded a visual inspection.

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.
