Invasion location: Sydney, NSW (AUS)
Date: June 16-18, 2017
Clan(s) Involved: Sandhawk Clan
Kamino Clan
Mission Objective: To raise money for Black Dog, and promote and participate in a Guinness World Record attempt
Invasion Report: Sandhawk Clan was a late entrant into the combined efforts of the 501st's Southern Cross Garrison and Rebel Legion's Tython Base at Sydney Supanova. Event organisers were attempting to achieve the Guinness World Record for 'Most People in Star Wars costumes in one room' or something to that effect. The three groups came together to create a spectacular display area of props, costumed mannequins and high-quality helmets and accessories provided by Anovos.
Across the three days, members of Sandhawk Clan arrived early, trooped long and hard through the day and went home exhausted but ready for the next day. They liased with many recruits, both known and fresh-faced, and patrolled the convention floor. Sandhawk Clan's alor'ad even participated in a lightsaber demonstration with the Sons of Obi-wan.
Whilst there the clubs were raising money for Black Dog Institute, a research institute that focuses on improving the lives of people with mental illnesses. The generosity of the attending public was astounding, and the contribution they helped the three clubs make to Black Dog was just as incredible.
