Welcome to the Yahoo group for the Imperial Services Organization, a charity support group that aids other similar organizations in their missions--particularly the 501st Stormtrooper Legion, Vader's Fist.

We like to think of ourselves as the Stormtroopers' version of a U.S.O.

The I.S.O. hopes to . . . • Capture the spirit of a country united under a support mission, similar to the movement in America, circa World War II.
• Be inspired by and expand upon the World War II imagery that is already interwoven throughout the Star Wars saga.
• Utilitze tasteful, vintage, romanticized images of femininity.
• Specialize in morale boosting for troopers serving overseas, and continually express appreciation for people in military service.
• Create an identity for the men and women who support those troopers who are on the front lines.

The 501st Legion is a worldwide Star Wars costuming organization comprised of and operated by Star Wars fans. While it is not sponsored by Lucasfilm Ltd., it is Lucasfilm's preferred Imperial costuming group.
