While this month's 2010-2011 election period progresses for the Legion's Garrisons, Outposts, Squads and Detachments, Legion Founder Albin Johnson (TK-210) was the sole candidate for the Legion Commanding Officer position and will continue his leadership role into the new year without the need for an election. Congratulations, Albin!

With the addition of Star Wars artist Brian Rood, TK Project coordinator Chris TB-111 reports that he is now officially out of helmets. Each blank Stormtrooper helmet donated by eFX Collectibles has been shipped out to an artist or celebrity to be creatively customized and returned to the 501st. Plans are being made to auction the nearly 50 one-of-a-kind helmets at Star Wars Celebration V in August 2010, with proceeds going to Make-A-Wish. Click here to find out who is participating in the TK Project and see which helmets have already been completed!
