Invasion Location: "Tekkoshocon IX" - Pittsburgh, PA (USA)
Date: April 3, 2011
Clan Involved: Mav Oya'la
Mission Objective: Promotion of Mandalorian costuming to a broader community.
Invasion Report: Mercs of the Mav Oya'la Clan invaded Tekkoshocon IX, a well-established Anime, Manga, and Video Game convention in Pittsburgh. The clan was greeted promptly with rave reviews and shocked admiration of the quality of their beskar'gam, as well as several unexpected greetings of "oya manda"! The convention floor and hallways were packed with large numbers of other costumed guests, who collectively outnumbered civilians by a wide margin, and quite vociferously welcomed their new vode-in-arms, many with solicitations of hugs and photos.
The Mercs enjoyed the Steve Blum voice acting panel and the Mandalorian presence was found to be inspirational toward crowd participation at the Mega Ran concert in the afternoon. The first invasion by the Mandalorian Mercs at Tekkoshocon (Tekko to its regular guests) was considered to be a success by all and sundry, and next year will surely be even better.
