501st Legion SOP

Introduction

The Five Hundred and First Legion, also referred to as the 501st, the 501st Battalion, the 501st clone battalion and later known as "Vader's Fist," was an elite stormtrooper legion under the command of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader during the Imperial Era. The legion predated the Galactic Empire, its origins dating back to the era of the Clone Wars when the 501st was an elite military division of clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic. The 501st was absorbed into the Imperial Military, becoming a legion of the Stormtrooper Corps which transitioned to the use of human recruits after the Empire suspended the cloning operation on Kamino. Although the First Legion replaced the 501st as Vader's personal legion.

501st Duties

DUTIES ON SHIP

Your job on the ISD consists of many tasks and duties such as performing tryouts, participating in training, patrolling the ship, and following orders given by your commanding officer.

DUTIES OFF SHIP

Your job on the battlefield is to fight on the frontlines, finding objectives, following orders given by your commanding officer and to assist Lord Vader by any means.

DUTIES AROUND VADER

If Vader is on, do not attempt to guard him unless specifically ordered to do so by Vader himself. If we are guarding Vader, his security is your utmost priority. We do not bow to Vader (Only IQ will bow), we salute to him. The only person we bow to is the Emperor.
