-	~~A complete list of Honorary Members and Friends of the Legion can be found at http://501st.com/ honorary.php~~
-	~~2 Joining the 501st legion~~
-
-	~~How do I get started?~~
-	~~Research~~
-	The first step in preparing to join the 501st Legion is research. You need to decide, if you haven’t already done so, which costume you wish to pursue in your quest to the Dark Side. There are many resources and tools available to you on the web and in the various books, comics, films and television series that comprise the Star Wars universe. The first three resources you should acquaint yourself with are the Legion Costume Reference Library (CRL), your lo¬cal Garrison and the 501st Legion Detachment that serves the costume category you wish to make.
-	The Costume Reference Library (CRL) is an ongo¬ing project to categorize and provide basic examples of Legion costumes and components. The CRL is maintained on the Legion website and can be found here. http://501st.com/crl/index.php I should be noted that the CRL is an on going endeavor and may not include all costumes currently accepted so don’t get discouraged if the most recent Clone Commander from The Clone Wars television series isn’t listed it doesn’t mean that it will not be ap¬proved just that either no one has submitted it for approval yet or that the CRL has yet to be compiled for that character. However, it is recommended that you pursue an established costume character for your first 501st costume.
-	Through the Detachments you can see other mem¬ber’s costumes and build threads (WIP Threads), re¬search and locate sources for costume components, learn how to make various components yourself and learn how to assemble components supplied by the various armor makers associated with the Detachments. A list of detachments and the cos¬tumes they support is located in the Appendix. You may also find contact information for the Detachments on the web here http://501st.com/members/displayUnits.php#detachments
-	Signing up for the forums at your local Garrison will put you in contact with like minded folks in your geographical area. Typically a Garrison will have programs to provide assistance and mentoring for you as you build your costume. The Garrison Membership Liaison (GML) will be your primary contact once you are ready to submit your costume for approval to the legion. A list of Garrisons and Outposts is located in the Appendix. You can locate your local Garrison or Outpost here http://501st. com/maps/index.php
-
-	~~What you can expectof the Legion andthe Garrison~~
-	~~How can I join?~~
-	If you own a high-quality costume representing any of the characters listed Costume Reference Library (CRL), just follow the steps below. There are no fees and the only requirements pertain to age and cos¬tume quality. The 501st is simply a fun, all-volunteer group of fans honoring the characters from the Star Wars saga. For further information regarding our mission, please read Article I of the Legion Charter.
-	~~Do you qualify for membership?~~
-	Do you own a professional quality costume rep¬resenting a well-documented canon villain from the Star Wars films or Expanded Universe? Note:Rebel or Jedi costumers should join the RebelLegion, our sister organization.
-	~~Are you at least 18 years old?~~

		+	2 Joining the 501st legion
		+
		+	How do I get started?
		+	Research
		+	The first step in preparing to join the 501st Legion is research. You need to decide, if you haven’t already done so, which costume you wish to pursue in your quest to the Dark Side. There are many resources and tools available to you on the web and in the various books, comics, films and television series that comprise the Star Wars universe. The first three resources you should acquaint yourself with are the Legion Costume Reference Library (CRL), your lo¬cal Garrison and the 501st Legion Detachment that serves the costume category you wish to make.
		+	The Costume Reference Library (CRL) is an ongo¬ing project to categorize and provide basic examples of Legion costumes and components. The CRL is maintained on the Legion website and can be found here. http://501st.com/crl/index.php I should be noted that the CRL is an on going endeavor and may not include all costumes currently accepted so don’t get discouraged if the most recent Clone Commander from The Clone Wars television series isn’t listed it doesn’t mean that it will not be ap¬proved just that either no one has submitted it for approval yet or that the CRL has yet to be compiled for that character. However, it is recommended that you pursue an established costume character for your first 501st costume.
		+	Through the Detachments you can see other mem¬ber’s costumes and build threads (WIP Threads), re¬search and locate sources for costume components, learn how to make various components yourself and learn how to assemble components supplied by the various armor makers associated with the Detachments. A list of detachments and the cos¬tumes they support is located in the Appendix. You may also find contact information for the Detachments on the web here http://501st.com/members/displayUnits.php#detachments
		+	Signing up for the forums at your local Garrison will put you in contact with like minded folks in your geographical area. Typically a Garrison will have programs to provide assistance and mentoring for you as you build your costume. The Garrison Membership Liaison (GML) will be your primary contact once you are ready to submit your costume for approval to the legion. A list of Garrisons and Outposts is located in the Appendix. You can locate your local Garrison or Outpost here http://501st. com/maps/index.php
