Deedra Meero CAN be done this moment with the existing CRL. But if you want to have a separate CRL just for her with the same available parts, I will put that forward to the LMO office to vote on. And we will pursue it through the normal process as you put your costume together.
Dedra can't be done at the moment. You can use her configuration, but most the ISB officers had that same one. At the end of the day, you'll just be approved as ISB. The GML is going to approve you as ISB.
Glad you decided to listen to the membership.

I respectfully disagree. I think characters/officers that play a significant role in these stories deserve a CRL. That includes people like Tarkin. I've never heard this sentiment voiced in any other administration but this one.
At the end of the day when you go to the GML, you will not be approved as Dedra, you will be ISB. No matter what is said or promoted here.
It's a good system, for background officers sure. But you won't be approved as that Officer, you'll just be line, staff, or ISB with that named character configuration.
This is one of the first on screen imperial officer female leads, and not giving her a CRL is a disservice to our female members here in the IOC and the legion as whole. You have the interest, let the CRL be made.

I would also like to see some distinction with the Andor ISB officers. I am doing extensive research to do a Dedra Meero, but would like it to double as a standard ISB non-saga. The problem is that since I am having mine custom done by MazKave, as well, and all my accessories will pass Tier 3 standards, I want the tunic and boots to, as well.
However, Dedra and the other ISB officers in Andor do not have the curved top riding boot, as specified in the CRL for Tier 3 - in fact, all the ISB officers with their boots clearly visible in Andor do have the straight-across boot top, and it appears the flap, as well. Also, in the scene where she is putting on her tunic, the seam around the middle which the belt is supposed to cover seems absent. This detail is also required for ISB non-saga Tier 3.
There seems to be a disconnect between the current ISB non-saga CRL and the way the uniforms are presented in Andor. This mostly applies to higher-level approvals, but as someone who would very much like a double approval as a generic AND face character, and higher-tier approvals, these discrepancies pose an issue.
Edit: I am looking at my screenshots again and it does not appear Dedra has the flaps on the side. But I will have to examine more closely.
All very excellent points Sara!

Wampa of the left, cossky in the middle and anovos on the right. Anovos has the best and most accurate color. All however are approvable.

You'll want to aim for a gray-green fabric.
Avoid Cossky or any Amazon uniforms, they're color is not correct for line officers.
Wampawear is better, but that color is off as well.
You'll want anovos or mazcave for sub $500 uniforms. After that you get into high end $1000+ territory.
There's a comparison photo floating around here somewhere.
Hope this helps!

Hello again!
I'm in search of IOC members who can speak French and Italian!
As part of the IOC forum revamp, we added the embassies. These are sections where prospective and current members can communicate in their preferred languages. Volunteers are needed to translate and rewrite important threads. For example, Level 2 and 3 info thread or IOC vendor lists. As well as an about thread regarding what the embassy is. Here are the languages needed:
-Italian/Italiano
-French/Français
While preferred, you do not need to be from the country where the language is spoken, as long as you are fluent.
The ball has started to roll on the new sections so I need some helpers before we get to far into the project!
If you are willing to help, please message me or comment here!
Thank you,Tom

Just want to bump this. We're still looking for the following:
-Italian/Italiano
-French/Français

As far as I'm aware no one makes them in metal.
You can get a merr sonn p5 in metal. If you buy the replica Mauser pistol off denix and modify it. However, I tried this and I don't recommend it. It ended up being too heavy for trooping and it was a pain to make.
I know some troopers will fill their blaster prints with dense filler to give it weight. In your case, ide recommend you do that.
Also if you can find a rubber blaster, they have a good weight and they don't break if dropped. All my blasters are rubber, they are better than prints in my opinion.
Hope this helps!

Magnets would be the only real way to have a hidden system. Although, all the Krennics I know use snaps.

No, as far as I'm concerned, no such group exists. Who know, maybe a Facebook group on the topic exist.

Hats off...

The ANH Tunic will either have to be made by you or you'll have to find a seamstress to make one. I don't know any makers off the top of my head that make one. Once you do find a seamstress, its usually pretty expensive. It's a more niche costume, so not many people offer it. Might I suggest the this one instead:
https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Temp-Imperial-Staff-Officer_(Non_Saga)
The name swaps make it a little confusing, but its the same character. In my opinion, you'll want to make the non saga if your goal is to troop, less hassle. The non saga officer's uniforms are readily available and are very affordable! From what I'm reading you want something quick and easy, this is the route I would take.
Here are two vendors:
With:
https://cossky.com/products/customization-fee-for-501st-order?_pos=1&_sid=210798aed&_ss=r
or
https://wampawear.com/product-category/uniform/
Hope this helps!

Good luck! Should be pretty straight forward!
If you need a leatherworker for those pouches, hit up Darmanprops in Florida!

One complaint I've always disliked about my Cossky uniform is due to the fabric being relatively light the flares on the pants flop around a bit. Is there anyway to stiffen the flares so they stand on their own a bit better?
I sewed in shower luffas to flush them out! Cheap and easy!

I second Cossky, but only the tunic and pants are good! Luckily that's all the deluxe package comes with! If your on a budget, you cant go wrong with Cossky, and it's level 3 approvable!
Dedra Meero CRL?
in New CRLs - Completed
Posted
This CRL system where one CRL can be the base for any officer isn't being promoted truthfully. Whether that's intentional or unintentional I'm not sure.
You can't say that the ISB CRL can be used to get approved as any named officer. Taking Dedra's configuration and applying as ISB doesn't make you Dedra, it makes you ISB. These face characters need separate CRLs if you want to be officially approved as that character. Otherwise your just a generic officer with a character's configuration.
For example, I can't go to my GML and say, "I'm Dedra, but I'm applying as ISB". I'm going to get listed as ISB officially. When the DL said, "Deedra Meero CAN be done this moment with the existing CRL.", it's not true. So I said "Dedra can't be done at the moment." I hope my explanation above makes sense.
Obviously, not every named officer needs a CRL. I'm also for adding more rank bars and configurations to the generic CRLs, that's fine. But Dedra is a main villain, she is more than worthy of a CRL. It doesn't matter that she uses the same parts of ISB. Besides, we are quickly learning her uniform is slightly altered.
As a side note, I also don't appreciate the hesitation of this detachment to make CRLs. For an administration that claims to be so pro CRL and costume creation, there was certainly an effort made to shut this one down immediately. I'm sure it would have if myself and others didn't step in to protest. You don't need group interest to make a CRL. If only ONE person is willing to put in the work, let them make the CRL, they have that right. It isn't up to the DL to pick and choice what is made.
