[SPOILERS] ISB Tactical Agent (Andor S2)

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DWM]]

NOTE: This costume has NOT been placed by Legion Membership Officer (LMOs) at this point. It is not guaranteed to be placed within the Special Operations detachment.

Use this thread for the ISB Tactical Agent (Andor S2).

Now, that I got that out of the way the trooper type/name is confirmed from the official Star Wars Databank under Sergeant Benzi and Sergeant Gharial:

Excellent, good to have the clarity on the name.

We'll need to put together some decent screen grabs to prove it, but it would largely appear to be an unarmoured Imperial Security Trooper wearing the white ISB tactical armour. Similarly we see an ISB officer being given some of the same armour (the torso armour) to wear over their ISB tunic.

I would therefore be surprised if the placement didn't follow those of the pre-existing underlying costumes. Specifically the ISB Tactical Agent to SpecOps to join the underlying Imperial Security Trooper costume; and the Armoured ISB Officer to IOC to join the ISB uniforms (eg. Dedra).  The same logic was used with the Star Wars Rebels armoured ISB officers such as Kallus, who wore their armour over their officers' tunics and were subsequently placed with IOC.

If this is how it plays out, the only minor complication would be that the torso armour needs to be consistent across the two costumes.  I'm sure however that we'll have no trouble coordinating that if that is the direction that the LMOs decide on.

I agree the base of the underlying uniform should dictate which detachment it goes to.  I will be doing both of the ISB Tactical and the Armored ISB officer so I am open to being the guinea pig lol

IOC Forum has some very good screen grabs for this and their initial opinion too is that the ISB Tactical agents will fall under Spec ops.  I've been watching both forums (new to this one now because of this) to see where this goes but my money is it lands here.  Time will tell!

Where would be the best place to start a wip? I’ll be making this regardless on where it lands so why not get a head start on it.

For now, in this section of the forum. I will create a separate subforum section within the TX Research section later today.

I'll be keeping a close eye on your progress here! Definitely wanting to go this direction as well.

I would like to follow your adventure too (and maybe build one myself). The suit is beautiful!

I am starting small right now, started printing the comm unit on the chest armor.

I will start my WIP post when I get home from work today. This is going to be a fun build
