501st Legion (fan organization)

The 501st Legion (a.k.a. Vader's Fist) is a wordwide organization of Star Wars fans. The 501st Legion is the worlds largest Imperial costuming organization, spanning the entire United States and 21 other countries. The 501st can often be found at promotional events for almost anything related to Star Wars and frequently put their "fame" to use at numerous charity events throughout the year (ie: Toys for Tots, MDA Telethons, local childrens' hospitals, etc.).

The 501st is divided into a number of garrisons, local "chapters" with jurisdiction over regions of varying size (anywhere from a portion of a state to multiple states). Garrisons with many memebers are subdivided into squads, much more localized versions of garrisons. Separate from garrisons, yet still part of the Legion as a whole, detachments have no regional boundries but are instead made up of members who have similar costumes (ie: a detachment of only Scout troopers). For more information on Legion organization, read the Legion Charter.

Upon registration, members are allowed to create their own four-digit serial number (a.k.a. TK ID). Attached to the ID number is a two-letter prefix indicative of the type(s) of costume worn by that member (ex: TK 0000). Members with more than one costume simply have multiple prefixes attached, the one that's currently worn is typically the only one displayed (ex: TK/TB/SL 0000). Prefixes are as follows:
 * TK--Stormtrooper (inspired by the line "TK421, why aren't you at your post?" from ANH)
 * TD--Sandtrooper
 * TS--Snowtrooper
 * TI--TIE Pilot
 * TA--AT-AT Pilot
 * TB--Scout trooper
 * SL--Sith Lord
 * BH--Bounty Hunter
 * ID--Officer
 * IG--Imperial Gunner
 * IN--Death Star Trooper
 * TR--Royal Guard
 * TX--Special Operations Trooper
 * IS--AT-ST Pilot
 * TC--Clone trooper
 * IC--Imperial Crew
 * DZ--Denizens of the Empire
