OUR MISSION
The purpose and mission of The Mississippi Outpost, a subservient entity of the 501st
Legion, is to provide to further the interest in Star Wars costuming and provide
organization in the state of Mississippi.
WHAT WE DO
The Mississippi Outpost is a subdivision of the 501st Legion, the premier Imperial Star
Wars costuming group in the world. The Mississippi Outpost operates in the state of
Mississippi.
The Mississippi Outpost provides a network for Star Wars fans in Mississippi to build and
create Star Wars props and costumes, and serves the community and various charity
organizations such as Toys For Tots and Make A Wish.
From Article I of the 501st Legion Charter document:
"...The Legion is a volunteer club formed for the express purpose of bringing together
costume enthusiasts and giving them a collective identity within which to operate.
The Legion's aims are to celebrate the Star Wars movies through the wearing of
costumes, to promote the quality and improvement of costumes and props, and most
importantly to contribute to the local community through charity and volunteer work..."
To Celebrate
Star Wars fans come from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, but no matter how
diverse they may seem, common bonds become evident when people come together
to celebrate their passion for George Lucas's modern mythology. Some fans are
content to collect action figures...other fans want to be action figures. Nothing
professes your fandom quite like building your own detailed costume replica of a
classic Star Wars villain, and there's nothing quite like the feeling that comes from
bringing the characters of Star Wars into the real world and sharing the magic with
others.
To Promote
A truly engaging Star Wars experience only occurs through a convincing appearance.
To this end, the 501st constantly strives to improve the quality and accuracy of its
member's costumes. Our goal is to appear as if our characters have just stepped off
the big screen and into this world.
To Contribute
While our organization was founded to simply provide a collective identity for
costuming fans with similar interests, the 501st is proud to put its resources to good
use through fundraising, charity work, and volunteerism.
