WHO WE ARE
Flagship Eclipse is a detachment of the 501st Legion. The primary goal of the detachment is to promote and support costuming for characters found in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. This includes characters from the Star Wars comics, books, cartoons and games. The Flagship Eclipse Detachment focuses on Sith, Darkside Adept, and Denizen characters which are not covered by any other detachments within the 501st. Expanded Universe officers, royal guards, troopers and bounty hunters are represented by their respective detachments.
Our forum has been designed to provide information and assistance to costumers who are working on Expanded Universe costumes. The forums are open to the general public, although there are also private areas designated for members of the Detachment and the 501st Legion.
