501st Legion - Great Lakes Garrison
Main Show Floor
Great Lakes Garrison is a subdivision of the 501st Legion, the premier Imperial Star Wars costuming group in the world. GLG operates in the state of Michigan and was originally a part of the venerable Midwest Garrison as "Michigan Squad," and then separated into a full-fledged Garrison in December of 2007. Since then, the GLG has contributed significantly to the greater 501st and Star Wars communities. The annual Motor City Comic-Con is a signature event in which the GLG participates. GLG members served a central role in TrooperFest of 2009 and 2011. GLG members have also gone on to serve in various command and administrative roles at the Legion level for the 501st, as well as the 501st's partner organization, the Rebel Legion.

Your only hope to escape is to find the masks of those who died tragically, learn the stories, and ultimately earn their favor. Will you complete the ritual and be set free or will Darkness and Decay and the Red Death hold illimitable dominion over all?
