The Special Operations Detachment was formed to provide a permanent home for the TX, or non-clone, expanded universe trooper costumes within the 501st Legion. The 501st Legion’s Special Operations Detachment formally began in 2004 by troopers Jason Allen and Corey ‘Atin’ Miller, along with Kevin Christley, who was unknowingly working a duplicate effort with the MEPD’s Joe Musso, who were welcomed in later to assist with the Detachment formation.
