For transparency, I'm posting this here.
I spoke with @Callista about the belt boxes. I know earlier in the thread there was talk about belt boxes. I initially thought they used Rogue One Boxes and the suggestion was to make the smaller Andor sized boxes a L2 requirement.
The belt boxes in the pictures above are OT sized and too large. So, we are making sure they get the correct boxes.
EDIT: The boxes are correct.- kman, Detaleader, Callista and 1 other

@buckrogersbarker who ended up getting the Narkina 5 prisoners?
There's so many more things when you dig in.
Like the Bith Musicians. I know they are in both, but is Barquin D'an a bad guy? What about the rest of the band?
Also, just a hunch, but I think Bo Katan is "good", yet she has 4 CRLs in the 501st.
I bring this up not to point fingers or lay blame or judge the past...it just...is what it is. There's a lot of things that don't make perfect sense and there's wiggle room for everything.
Is Bo Katan in the BHG because she wears Boba Fett armor? It looks that way to me. In fact, everyone who wears Boba Fett armor probably will go in BHG.
Is BoBF Boba Fett still a bounty hunter?
Are Narkina 5 prisoners Underworld or Rebel Legion? What if it's Cassian Andor? He's just a tourist!
For me, it still boils down to Bob's thesis: if you come here, we will help you. If there's a strong case, we will advocate for you.

Our squad has just discovered these. Ohio is a little slow on the uptake sometimes.
Julie visit us in Pittsburgh and I'll give you a lot.

I'm also a model railroader, so I had a Chopper II tool already.
It made quick work of the 82 pieces.

Just to try and assist me with a colour has anyone come to you with this yet?
I think Jim Tripon also sells the attendant tunic.

Is that the same colour that the usual ISB wear?
It's safe to say "it's probably the same ISB jacket".

So have we submitted for Ella Kane specifically as a named character or the generic officer? Because they aren't the same thing. Ella Kane is essentially an Imperial spy wearing a New Republic Uniform.
Generic officer.
What's the difference between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader?
"About 5 minutes". He didn't change his clothes yet and his costume is in both RL and 501st.
This costume is a tweener, much like Mara Jade, Starkiller, the Clone Detachment, Clone officers, Jyn Erso...

Awesome!! @Menoko Can you post some progress pictures here?
-
It looks to be the same color as the collar. Gold.
-
It’s still generic because we have the same uniform used, just different collar and hat devices.
This is not an Admiral Titus CRL.
But collar and hat devices should match on screen references. We have one of each so far for the black uniforms (the chevrons and the triangles).
So, make it looks like this:
looks like the collar chevrons are gold, and the outline on the hat is also the same color.
The triangles on the other Officer appear to be silver.

Draft Text from Franzi:
Hair
- Is of brown color
- Is short at the sides and longer at the top of the head
- Is parted at the left and neatly combed to the right/back of the head
Tunic
- is made of a light blue medium weight fabric, twill weave is most accurate
- Is fitted to the wearer using princess seams that run trough the shoulder seam. The seams are finished with piping made of the same fabric as the tunic. There is also a seam in the middle of the back.
- Sleeves have two seams, one at the side and one at the back. The sleeves are finished with a cuff, that uses the same accent fabric as the collar.
- The tunic has a standing up collar that has a dark blue, much darker than the tunic, accent fabric inset. The collar does not close.
- The closure of the tunic overlaps to the right if the wearer, snaps, hooks or magnets for closure are not visible from the outside.
Level 2
- The accent fabric at the cuff and the collar are finished with top stitching.
- There is a seam running the entire circumference of the tunic, dividing it along a line hidden by the uniform belt.
Level 3
- Tunic is secured on the right side by snaps, hook, & bar, buttons, or unseen magnets; not hook and loop fastener (Velcro).
- A lining is sewn in.
- there are pockets at the side seam. They’re not visible.
Rank Bar
- Rank bar is of an oblong D-shape with the aurebesh letter ‘a’ on top. There are three dots on the round side.
- The base is painted red, the upper part of the letter is black, the lower is white.
Belt
- The belt is constructed from a black, non-textured, leather, or leather-like material.
- Approximately 2 inches (50.8 mm) in width, up to 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) is acceptable.
- There are no loops on the belt.
-
Two large black snaps or rivets are visible approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) from the buckle.
- The snaps are worn to the left of the wearer.
- The buckle is constructed from a horizontally brushed metal, or metal looking material.
- The buckle size is approximately 2.6250 inches (66.7 mm) high and 4.1250 inches (104.5 mm) wide with 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) radius rounded corners.
- There is no imperial code disc.
Trousers
-
Fabric is a medium weight suiting material matching the tunic.
- Cavalry Twill or a Gabardine style weave is most accurate.
- Trousers are straight
- There is a upside down, asymmetrical Y shaped tuck on the front of the trousers.
- The trousers hit the top of the wearers shoes but so not bunch
- If there are pockets, they may not be seen when uniform is worn.
Shoes
- Chelsea style boots that are black, smooth non-textured, and made of leather or leather-like material.
- The shoes are void of all decoration.
- Shoes have a small conservative heel.

Because, as you said, we are stronger together. I'm a member of multiple detachments and will advocate for them equally. We dont have a claim to this. They wear gunner helmets. Let's stop picking fights with other detachments, please. Andor and Mando have given us plenty of new officer things. Don't pretend a tech wearing a gunner helmet belongs in the IOC, when the ICG already has a similar CRL.
If people here think this belongs in the IOC, consider this. The ICG has six CRLs; we have close to 50. They rarely get new characters to create. Time to put your money where your mouth is. This is stronger together. The ICG deserves this CRL, not the IOC.
Maybe, but you ran for IOC DETACHMENT LEADER. Being a DL means you advocate for the IOC when it makes sense . And, it makes sense. The only part that's NOT officer is the helmet.
Boots, riding breeches, trunic, rank badge, belt, gloves... that's 6 out of 7 parts.
The IOC has a strong claim to this.
Basically this is an officer with a gunner helmet.
What happens if we see one of those army Aldhani troopers with a navy trooper helmet? Where would you put that?
What about Shadow Stormtroopers and Shadow scouts?
Why are they in Spec Ops instead of FISD and Pathfinders?
Is it branding? White armor (dot net) only? Aren't they mostly the same and just a different color? Why is Phasma there? She's chrome! Put her in Spec Ops!!

Placeholder for the Amnesty Officer. Post references!

The lady is Capt. Brunson and she has the triangles.
Additionally, I found this on Reddit:
It talks about the collars and hat markings.
•Admiral Konstantine, Commandant Aresko, Taskmaster Grint, and Captain Slavin (note: all very different ranks) with inward pointing triangles on the collar and a semicircle and dot in the right corner of the cap. Governor Pryce bears the same triangle designs on her collar but does not wear a hat.
•Grand Moff Tarkin also has inward pointing triangles on the collar but Tarkin's triangles are segmented. He wears no hat.
•Agent Kallus (admittedly, his uniform is an odd exception in general) has just one white triangle on the right of his collar followed by two yellow bars and one dot. He wears no hat.
•Grand Admiral Thrawn is the only officer that I've noted with outward pointed triangles on the collar, preceded by a single bar each. He too wears no hat.
•Admiral Titus with "<" shape designs on his collar and just a semicircle in the right cap corner. He maintains these markings even following his demotion to commander.
•Lieutenant Lyste features no collar designs, but instead bears a unique segmented ring-like design around the officer's disc on his cap. This design is maintained even after he is promoted from supply master to lieutenant.
What does this mean for the CRL?
We simply say collar/hat markings must match an on screen configuration.
-
What happens if we ever see a storm trooper with a navy trooper helmet?
Do we base where CRLs go based solely on the helmet?
What if we see "A V5 gunner with a navy trooper helmet?"
Are there any metrics used when determining such?
Legion logic is all over the place.
I know they try to put things where they make sense in the canon. I think there is merit to putting things where the experts are...gunners know their own helmets. But Officers know the rest of the uniform. I also think there is merit in placing a costume in a place where it won't go into mothballs. (I am not suggesting that any detachment is doing that, so chill, and don't @ me!)
JRS has 181st dress uniforms which do not contain TIE armor but they are pilots in regular uniforms.
BF has AT AT commanders and AT ST drivers.
IOC got the Mimban troopers which has armor similar to AT AT Commanders.
I think dual detachment costumes are the way to go. I don't know why there's pushback on that. It hurts literally nobody and it can be encouraging and advantageous for someone to join two detachments.
I never understood why each detachment MUST BE its own silo.
We are stronger together.
Detachments drive the costumes and help the membership get them done.
But why do we have people here in the IOC advocating for costumes to go somewhere else when we have just as much a claim as other detachment?

In this picture, it looks like a gold or yellow brown. It appears to be the same on the hat.

@Jean there ya go! Use this to guide you on your collar (and something similar for the hat marking:
- Insignia is one of the following: an iron on applique material, embroidered, a cloth patch, or a pin. If a pin is used, it should be fastened flush to the collar.
OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): - Rank Insignia must have very thin and flat appearance.
-
Looking back to the Rebels Thrawn CRL, it reads...
- Insignia is one of the following: an iron on applique material, embroidered, a cloth patch, or a pin. If a pin is used, it should be fastened flush to the collar.
OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): - Rank Insignia must have very thin and flat appearance.

@Jean can you post the screenshot of the hat without the thing on it? I know the screenshot you posted in the thread already didn't have on in it, but I think that's just the side that doesn't have it.
@buckrogersbarker we need advice on how to add the collar triangles to the collar. It looks like those will need to be added. There are two variations of these: chevrons (Titus) and triangles (on the female).
-
@Jean, the LMO office is asking about the collar and hat pips again. Can you provide screenshots of "generic" black uniformed security officers without collar/hat pips?
-
Plus Rebels Yularen has the ANH style tunic to complicate things a little.

@chicken45 this is a conundrum. The newer models have more detail. Their belt buckles now look like real world belt buckles.
Would this be a brand new CRL or would we simply permit this blaster and gloves as optional for the Krennic without a cape?He's pretty generic right now, isn't he?
I understand the parity to add a Rebels Krennic since he already has a real world counterpart, but we don't have a Tarkin, either. Plus i think it's all superfluous anyways.
I have not yet caught up on BB yet, but I say we add white tunic ISB version.
If black and olive officers are wearing the centered belt, allow both in the CRL.
How do you choose rank insignia?
