Description: Darth Revan
Prefix: SL
Detachment: The Flagship Eclipse Detachment
Context: Star Wars Expanded Universe

Darth Revan began as a follower of the Jedi ways, but became outraged with the Jedi Order’s lack of involvement in the Mandalorian Wars. He, and a handful of like-minded Jedi followers, fought against the Mandalorians with the Republic Military, eventually winning.

With the discovery of the Rakatan artifact, the Star Map, Revan was led to the Sith planet of Malachor V, and was seduced by the dark side within the Trayus Temple. After the war, his seduction was finalized when his mind was dominated by the Sith Emperor, Vitiate, and he became one of the greatest Sith threats the universe had ever known.

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.

Required Costume Components

The following costume components are present and appear as described below. For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met. This Detachment defines additional, optional costuming details listed in blue and red. Please visit the Detachment website for more details on these options.

• Heavy black fabric is used for the hood and capelet.
• The hood is full and encloses the face completely, or gives the illusion of being enclosed by crossing over in the middle above the curiass.
• The lower front section of the hood tucks under the chest armor.
• The capelet attaches to black fabric hook straps on the black sections of the cuirass via four silver rings, two larger and two smaller.
• The capelet shoulders are NOT pleated. They are gathered and draped over the shoulders and down the back.
• Note: Cosplay Sky Darth Revan costumes will not be accepted.

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):

• The hood is fully enclosed in a single piece

• The cape is a series of knife pleats pointing towards the center of the cape, with a single box pleat in the center where the left and right directional knife pleats meet.
• Note: Cosplay Sky Darth Revan costumes will not be accepted.

• See the Darth Revan (KOTOR) Gallery for details of masks that are NOT approvable for KOTOR Revan, including the SWTOR style.
• The mask extends up to the top of the head, but does not extend more than 1” below the chin.
• It has a dark gray and rust red color scheme on the front, and the paint is heavily weathered.
• The eye slit is filled with a lens that is dark enough to obscure the eyes behind it.
• The chin of the mask includes two “prongs” with accompanying hardware.
• Note: the flat chin mask used in SWTOR is NOT approvable as it is not the KOTOR style of mask.
• Black side panels matching the game renders may be included to cover the sides of the costumer's face, but they are not required.
• Note: It is not clear if the black area visible in the game render was meant to be a piece of the mask, or if it is a rough rendering of Revan's face which was supposed to be hidden by the hood. Because of this uncertainty, the black side panels may be included or left off of the mask at the costumer's discretion.

• A form-fitting black balaclava is worn to hide the costumer's face and neck.

• The shirt is made of black fabric with long sleeves.
• A horizontal line of black piping is sewn across the chest, and is visible just above the chest armor.
• The shirt collar is worn in a high, form-fitting style that reaches to or near the top of the neck.

• The vambraces are made of a rigid material which encloses the entire forearm in a seamless, single piece.
• They extend from the wrist to just below the elbow on each arm.
• A ridge design runs up the interior seam of each vambrace with a seam line running along the exterior side.
• Another ridge design consisting of three strips goes horizontally along the bottom edge nearest the wrist, and appears only on the upper half of the vambrace.
• The armor has a metallic sheen and variable coloration, ranging from bronze, slightly copper or antique gold tones.
• Note: Cosplay Sky Darth Revan costumes will not be accepted.

• The hand armor is made of a rigid material.
• It has a series of parallel ridges running horizontally across the center of the armor piece, and a smaller ridge design goes across the bottom edge of the hand armor, near the fingers.
• The armor has a metallic sheen and variable coloration, ranging from bronze, slightly copper or antique gold tones.
• Note: Cosplay Sky Darth Revan costumes will not be accepted.

• The gloves are made of undecorated black leather or fabric.
• They are long enough to conceal any skin that might show on the wrists, and are worn tucked under the vambraces.

• The cuirass is made of a rigid material with a pattern of ridges that replicate the designs seen in the reference images.
• The cuirass includes a raised black panel on each side of the chest that is made of a rigid material. These panels each have two loops built into them.
• Each side of the capelet is attached to these loops with a pair of silver rings.
• The upper rings are approximately 1” in diameter, while the smaller rings are approximately 3/4” in diameter.
• The armor has a metallic sheen and variable coloration, ranging from bronze, slightly copper or antique gold tones.
• Note: Cosplay Sky Darth Revan costumes will not be accepted.

• Located between the cuirass and abdominal armor is a middle section that connects the two armor pieces.
• The bridging piece is made of black leather or vinyl with close horizontal ribbing running the full length, and silver paint weathering.
• The bridging is approximately 4” tall, but should remain proportionate to the cuirass and abdominal armor in size.

• The abdominal armor is made of a rigid material and includes a pattern of ridges that match the design seen in the reference images.
• At the hips are two arching black shapes.

• Revan's belt is suspended in front of the abdominal portion of the armor.
• Both sides of the belt slope downward at an angle to a large O-ring at the front.
