-	Depending on various conditions such as health or environment, 20 to 30 minutes is the maximum recommended time a trooper or any other helmeted or masked character should go without a break. While it is possible for a helmeted or masked character to go longer than this period of time, provisions should be made in scheduling to allow characters to take breaks during an appearance longer than 30 minutes. Breaks normally consist of the masked character being able to go somewhere out of sight in order to remove their helmet/mask, drink water or take a quick breather. Open-faced costumes such as Imperial Officers, Death Star Troopers and technicians may be available for longer periods. For longer events, a 2 hour shift (with breaks interspersed every 30 minutes) is the maximum a fully enclosed character can be expected to handle without a substantial break.
