Report
The afternoon started when the Imperial Shuttle touched down at Landing Point QV. Given the proximity to a stocked mess hall, lunch was had on-site before proceeding to the mission point. On the way the mission point, I passed TK671. He had just finished his tour and was off for some R&R. I had a quick debrief and continued on my way.


Upon arrival, I proceeded into the facility. At this point, it was over run by Rebels. Fortunately I was still in my civvies, so I approached one to gather intel. Imperial Intelligence, you owe me one! I followed the directions to the Rebels' base where I found a fully fledged Stormtrooper to provide some extra fire power. A quick change turned into a longer change as a mini Alderaanian senator was taking longer to get her hair done than expected (thanks Deb for the assist). Once the uniforms were ready to pass muster, it was out to provide crowd control duties. At this point we also encountered another Stormtrooper. He had not quite completed his training, but given the need for extra fire power, we were glad to have a cadet in our ranks.


Upon leaving the building there were queues of people waiting to enter. These queues were far from orderly and required Imperial Military to bring order. Many of the crowd proceeded to pull out holocams muttering something about evidence. I'm sure their local outpost would love to have them come in for a chat.


Once the crowd was inside, we also followed in to make sure there would be no disturbances. Unfortunately there were still a few who required some gentle persuasion and again, holocams were produced. When will these people learn?


A short break was then had to ensure our troops were fresh and ready to do the Empire's bidding. Rested and refreshed, the troops headed out to again provide crowd control for those queueing for entrance. This was almost a mirror copy of last time. A few people needing talking to and more holocams. Once this queue had entered, we went in for a break ourselves. This was followed by a short stint on the floor before finally finishing our mission and changing back to civvies.


Once in civvies we had a chance to inspect the hard work of the galactic citizens. There were truly some amazing works there.


Casualties: Zac's belt, but he's Rebel Scum, so that doesn't count
Injuries: None
Happy People: Many
Unhappy People: Deb had some approach saying we were holding up the queue with people taking photos. Most people were happy to wait though.
Mission: Completed.

You only need to list the 501st troopers Jas. Seeing as thou this is a 501st forum, were not that interested in Mandos and RL

[Sheriff]

I put them there to give an indication of the total number of Star Wars costumers in attendance. I figured, if you didn't care about them, you'd skip that section. If you do care, then at least they are there.

[The Fett]

O',.... thanks for the clarification Jas.

Remember there is a method to my madness!http://forum.501tag.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

[Sheriff]

If its true madness, there doesn't need to be method. ;)

[DarthFurious]

Slight repairs were needed to my right shoulder strapping after Saturday's stint, but it was good to go again and held out through Sunday.

[badboy]

[Marcus]

Instead of 4 different reports how about we do just the one?
I will send info for Sunday morning for Sheriff to cut and paste into his report

[Warhammer6R]

[TK671]

No change from my SITREP at post #58 Boss,

6410, feel free to include my data in the final report.

3872's second troop, so suggest gathering further intelligence from his perspective. We did have one exhibitor ask rather politely, "How tall is a stormtrooper supposed to be?" on which we responded, "6 foot". I did get asked five times during the morning shift the obligatory question, "Aren't you a little short..." but considering 3872 was in the building, it was a given and taken broadly on the chin by yours truly. This reference states '1.8 metres (average)', so from now on my response will be, "I'm below average citizen but within the Empire's specification... move along, move along".

Happy to provide further content and wordsmithing prior to release of the final report.

[Azrael]

[Marcus]

I will apologize for anyone that I miss off it :) will edit it as need be :)

Sure, why not?

I'll write it up tonight.

@ TK671: The TKs we see in the movies are all between 5'7" (only an inch taller than Mark Hamill) and 5'10" (the guy who bumps his head). If you take the known heights of the actors, it's possible to do the scaling.
