Posting in Off Topic because it's not technically an officer, but I'm very proud of my Veers.
 
All the greeblies (helmet rangefinder, back spine, belt emblem, chestplate details, and backpack detail) all made by me.  The ABS is from MonCal.
 
The uniform base is obviously my Clothears Imperial Officer.

To celebrate, I headed right to the BBQ. The Empire has to eat too!

Imperial Officers' Armour
Currently we have two instances of Imperial Officers wearing armour
Grand Moff Tarkin Grand Admiral Thrawn Nothing says "Grand" more than some shiny armour and a funny hat (I mean) Helmet!
 
While we are in pre-CRL territory it's hard to say who would be allowed to wear these, wether it would be limited to the "Grand" Ranks or limited further to just Tarkin and Thrawn.  Also while it is in pre-CRL Territory, the question on which detachment would look after these is also up for debate:
Imperial Officers Corp, due to them being officers? or Armored Cavalry Detachment - because they look after armoured officers like Veers? But until then, nothing hurts us talking about it here!
(There was a little bit of chatter over in the Q&A forum - Armour Question)
 
As luck would have it, both sets of armour are different - because standardising it would make way too much sense.
 
Grand Moff Tarkin's Armour
Grand Moff Tarkin wears modified AT-DP Armour and Helmet.  The difference being:
Helmet Grey in colour without Faceplate White Inverted Triangle versus Red Armour Field Grey(Olive Drab) in colour with Rank Bar White Inverted Triangle versus Red without Shoulder Bells  without Leg Armour More can be read about the AT-DP Armour over at the Armored Cavalry Detachment - AT-DP Drivers/Imperial Combat Drivers.
 
It's worth noting that there was a colour change for the armour between the Concept Art and the end product.  Here it is defiantly metal and matches his Belt, Code Cylinders, & Rank Bar but in the actual show it is Field Grey (aka Olive)

 
 
Grand Admiral Thrawn's Armour
Grand Moff Tarkin wears the same Helmet as the AT-DP/Tarkin except recoloured different Armour to Tarkin is more like General Veers but different.  and a recoloured Helmet, The difference being:
Helmet White in colour without Faceplate with White Goggles not sure about decals Armour White in colour with Rank Bar Gold epaulets/shoulder straps rounder at the bottom than Veers missing electronics area (bottom centre) from Veers different buttons on the left hand side (also look illuminated) raised areas on right hand side flattened new seam lines
 
 
As more information on this comes I'll update the post

Some things should go without saying, but we live in an age where we do have to say things. I will cross post this in the Officer's Mess too.
 
At no times will this detachment be a home or accepting to people that are friendly to or espouse the ideas behind fascism, Nazism or any totalitarian ideology. We dress up as fictional space bad guys. Conflating any of the above with doing that is not only morally wrong, it puts at risk what we do here in this detachment and the legion as a whole. We will not allow such a risk.
 
I have spoken to members who have belonged to reenacting groups that have had those ideologies come into them. That will not be permitted here, not under this administration. And if that day ever comes that it would be allowed, I would hope you would join me in finding another hobby.
 
There will be no litmus tests for members. If you are a reenactor, I hope you enjoy doing it and I hope you keep the ideology out of it. There is no conversation over re-enacting that you cannot take private. And if you are an open adopter of the ideologies listed above, no one wants to hear it...ever. If you see something in violation of this, please contact the staff and we will deal with it promptly.

Greetings fellow Imperials!
My name is Dan and I just got approved to join the 501st and Midwest Garrison yesterday!  
I've been an avid Star Wars fan since I was 8 years old and cosplaying since 2005.  I've known several 501st members over the years, and am so glad to finally be able to join the ranks!
 
 

Was given my first ID approval yesterday, and my second this morning!
 
Very happy to be joining y’all as Dedra Meero and ISB Non-Saga.
