The Central California Garrison is a local chapter of the 501st legion. We are a volunteer group providing our services to charities and local events. The 501st does not require a membership fee.

You must meet the following prerequisites in order to enlist in the 501st:

- Own at least one COMPLETED, accurate costume representing a “Villain” from the Star Wars Universe.

- Intentions to support and be active in 501st Garrison duties in your local area.

- Dedication to the authenticity of your chosen character and uphold the integrity whenever participating in a 501st event.

- Must be 18 years of age, or older.

If you are able to fulfill these qualifications, please visit the 501st legion web page at www.501st.com and register yourself in the Imperial Forces. Please refer to our FAQ’s page or contact us if you have any additional questions. We look forward to your services.

We have learned from an unwilling source that there is a site for rebel sympathizer's who own an accurate costume representing a “hero” from the Star Wars Universe. This information is located at www.rebellegion.com for membership and information. The location of the rebel base, however, is still under investigation.
