About
“Foundlings Are The Future!”
ESTABLISHED MAY 4, 2013 • MANDO MERCS COSTUME CLUB
A dedicated, safe-space youth initiative empowering young fans to master costume crafting, embrace positive values, and take their first steps into a wider galaxy.
OUR CORE PILLARS
Aliit (Family)
Fostering shared adventures where parents and children collaborate together on costume craft, problem solving, and community events.
Creativity
Monthly hands-on challenges and maker-skills that teach prop assembly, weathering techniques, and character development.
Community
Instilling warrior honor, accountability, mutual respect, and camaraderie across young cadets spanning chapters worldwide.
The Journey of the Verd’ika
Since its founding in 2007, the Mando Mercs Costume Club (MMCC) has recognized that children bring vital energy and family involvement to our ranks. On May 4th, 2013, the MMCC rolled out the Verd’ika Corps—a tailored platform designed specifically for youth enthusiasts.
Through guided creative challenges, commendation awards, and local unit engagement, the Corps provides cadets with a safe environment to display their passion for Star Wars, celebrate craftsmanship, and forge lasting memories alongside their fellow foundlings.
🛡️ Foundling Protection Protocol
The privacy and safety of every child is paramount. The Verd’ika Corps maintains strict information boundaries across all public databases and club activities.
Mandalorian Aliases
We never record or publish real names. Every cadet adopts an in-universe Mandalorian name, guarding their personal identity while sparking imagination.
Helmeted Visuals Only
Cadet portraits must be taken wearing helmets or full face coverings. Faces are never published or distributed. Photos can be updated through your Training Sergeant.
Broad Location Only
We never request street addresses or cities—only the country of residence. This allows leadership to accommodate local time zones without collecting location data.
