    Proposed New CRL - ISB AGENT (Battlefront 2)

    in New CRLs

    Posted

    Very good &

    Good luck.

    Just remember the core parts/steps of making an approved costume idea come to full 501st approved costume reality:

    1 A legitimate Canon/Legends source. (should be easy enough with everything we have access to in 2020) 

    2 Front/back full images of the costume taken from above sources. (Also should be easy with modern day resources)

    3 Someone who legitimately/fully creates/constructs the complete costume accurately/correctly, along with all its applicable parts & submits them here for review by way of all meticulous/well-lighted/high-def images the detachment staff need. (Here's where the detachment will typically run into a wall with the costumer misunderstanding the process, or not seeing-through the process to end by way of loosing interest, failure to follow instructions, or failure to provide required/accurate photos.) 

    4 The Detachment Leader, Detachment staff,  & Legion Membership Officers cohesively working together to help the candidate-costume work toward official approval & agree on what needs to be set in stone for final approval with the help of applicable guidance/sources & appointed staff. 

    Hope that helps. :)

     

    Official IOC Rank Guide

    Like I said I could be incorrect but still. Ideally there needs to be a Field Marshal Rank, the Army Equivalent to the Grand Admiral Rank, but hey that's just me being a bit  silly and wishful.

    There is a Grand General Rank which is basically the Imperial equivalent. 

    It can also be noted that very high positions can take priority over actual rank, i.e. the address of Director in lieu of Admiral. 

     

    Admiral Griss CRL Request

    in New CRLs

    Perhaps it would be advisable to get basic approval first, then seek Level 2 & three clearance with this specific character. There are only so many (and will forever be so many) named CRLs in the IOC, since so many background characters share the same uniform. :)

    Genuine query

    The names were arbitrarily decided upon years ago, out of sheer necessity and lack of official canon titles or descriptions. It has gently come up a small handful of times over the years, questioning if they need to be changed, and usually, in the end, not many people really seem to care for such change to happen. So here we are. Line & Staff postilions, as far as the US military defines them can be seen as Line Officers; officers trained to be in command, like Admirals in charge of Navies, fleets and armadas, Star Destroyer Captains, their XOs, and a few others lower down that chain who are in training to take that role one day.  Staff Officers are military officers who've earned officer ranks, but may not always hold a true position of command or higher leadership authority due to their job, in example: doctors, lawyers, chaplains, protocol, personnel, logistics, maintenance, munitions, ect. Since newer canon (Rogue One & Solo) have appeared, official sources have done a fairly good job trying to retcon or somewhat explain the differences, not into separate positions, but more into distinct service branches. I.e. The olive uniforms represent the regular Imperial military's army, navy, and operations (for some reason operations is different than the army...I dunno why) branches, while the black (even including the navy troopers) uniforms are considered Security Forces & Stormtrooper Corps. I think this is not only generally a pretty good way to look at them, functionally, but is more in line with John Mollo's original plan that the black uniformed guys were Vader's men and everything else (excluding the ISB, of course) was basically the regular imperial military. I'm still fuzzy on why a naval captain was reduced to being a recruiting officer on Corellia, but hey, nothing is perfect. lol.
