The Belgian 501st Garrison is the local representative of the internationally well-known 501st Legion. The Legion is a group of Star Wars fans, who creatively work together to recreate costumes and props of the Galactic Empire. Bounty hunters and other Star Wars villains are also welcome to join this group.

The 501st Legion is highly active in charity events. As such, the Belgian 501st Garrison is willing to aid any charity event organiser and provide costumed appearance when requested. Past charity events provided donations for Tsunami 1212, the Ziekenhuisclowns, petitions for reconstruction after breast amputations and more.

The Belgian Rebel Alliance members, Jedi, civilians and similar characters find their home in our sister-organisation: the Crescent Moon Alliance.

For years, the Belgian 501st Garrison has played a leading role in bringing the Galactic Empire to life. We've done so, by making quality costumes, props and even large set pieces. We've been invited to countless events already and have connections all over the world. On January 2007, the Belgian 501st Garrison sent a 6-man delegation to Pasadena, California, at the request of Lucasfilm, to join fellow Legion-members in the Rose Parade. This was Lucasfilm's symbol of appreciation for what the 501st Legion is and does, especially in regard to its charity work.

This site will introduce you to our members, their work, events we did and will allow you to request our appearance at your event, or join the club. Membership is free. All you need is an Imperial costume. Even if you do not have this yet, you can contact us, tell us which costume you'd like to have and we'll provide you with all the info you need to get that costume and join the 501st-fun!
