Galactic Strategic Command Detachment

The Rebel Legion Galactic Strategic Command Detachment (RL GSC) is the officer/commander costume Detachment of the Rebel Legion. The RL GSC is responsible for maintaining and advising the Legion command on costume standards for officer costumes from the Rebel Alliance, Resistance, Galactic Republic, and New Republic.  It is also responsible for providing the Legion with qualified individuals for the approval of all future officer costumes. The members of the RL GSC also help new costumers work towards finishing officer and commander costumes, and advise on any changes needed to the standards of all costumes falling under the detachment.  The detachment is here to provide both community and a costuming support network.

The Galactic Strategic Command detachment was founded on June 30th, 2010 and has grown to over 200 members with over 400 GSC costumes worldwide.  Local Bases and Outposts can form smaller units called command posts.  There are currently 9 Command Posts:

To join the detachment:

If you wish to join Galactic Strategic Command, all you need is a Star Wars officer costume approved by the Rebel Legion.  Just follow these steps:

  1. Assemble an officer costume according to the Rebel Legion costume standards. If the costume you want to make doesn’t have a costume standard yet, don’t worry! Just collect your reference images and make your costume as close to the original as possible. Remember to share your images with the judges when you submit your costume for approval. You can also share your research and your progress for feedback on the Rebel Commanders sub-forum.  This video tutorial shows how to link pictures both when you submit a new costume and in a forum thread.  (Please do not use Photobucket!  The pop-up ads and watermarks make it virtually unusable for the costume judges.)
  2. Register for an account on the Rebel Legion forums and submit your costume via the “My Costumes” link near the top. Remember to check that all of your photo links work before submitting.
  3. Celebrate when your costume is approved!
  4. Post a link to your approved officer costume in the RL GSC sign-up thread.  One of the RL GSC leaders will add you to our usergroup on the forums and then you will be able to access the RL GSC sub-forum.
