Albin Johnson, founder of the 501st Legion, reaches out with news of commemorative items to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the creation of Vader’s Fist in 1997 featuring the clubs original name, 501st Squad — order yours now!
Citizens of the Empire!
2022 marks 25 years of Imperial might on Earth – Vader’s Fist took the world by storm and now all Star Wars fans and clubs enjoy a golden era of the Force!
But it wasn’t always so. In 1997 I cobbled together a logo and a name, inspired by my dad’s unit in WW2. We started as the 501st Squad!
So to celebrate we are running a one-time order of commemorative items honoring the 501st Squad! Patches, coins, stickers, and even large back patches. This is the first time the Squad logo has been available in coin and sticker form. And the patches have a gold border with “25th Anniversary” noting the anniversary. Many thanks to Scott McArthur for the original design and to Juan Jose Matamoros for refining it for modern use.
Get with your Garrison, Squad, or Outpost and make sure everyone knows about this limited run. Group orders save a LOT on items and shipping. Order is open now until September 30th, so let us know how we can help everyone get in on this momentous celebration!

I erroneously posted the challenge coins are 3.75″ in diameter. Wow those would be huge! In truth, they will be 1.75″ in diameter – the size of a standard challenge coin. Simple mistake, someone pointed it out to me and I feel stupid. If you ordered the coins thinking they would be coaster-sized, feel free to email me and we’ll get you sorted. I don’t want anyone disappointed with their items.
