Description: Imperial Security Officer: Rebels
Prefix: ID
Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps
Context: Rebels

The Security Services are a separate branch to the Imperial Army and Navy composed of members ideologically committed to the preservation of the Emperor’s New Order. The elite officers and enlisted of the Security Services are entrusted with key security checkpoints, detention blocks, star destroyer bridges, and production facilities. They often augment imperial military forces and lead stormtroopers.

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.
