Who We Are

Verd’ika Corps

Strength through Honor
Established May 4th, 2013

Since 2007, Mandalorian Mercs has allowed a limited sponsor-membership for the legal children of Official Members.  Over the years we’ve found out that while this type of membership is great for families who want to troop in-costume, it doesn’t really help much where the under-18 crowd is concerned.  Legally, there are certain liabilities that the MMCC has to be aware of when it comes to minors.  Because of that, we have traditionally NOT allowed in minors (under-18) to hold any level of Official Membership without a parent/legal guardian holding current Official Membership.

In 2012 we started rolling around the idea of a kid’s club for under 18 members, something that was mostly internet-based but could also morph into something larger if growth/need called for it.  That idea would set the ground-work for the “Verd’ika Corps” club.

Verd’ika Corps Goals:
1.  To provide a safe organization for children to show-off their love for Star Wars.
2.  To promote healthy attitudes in children through positive core-values.
3.  To prepare children for entering the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club as an Official Member when they come of age.

Children who apply to the Corps will be sorted by age into one of 3 “Battalions” within the club.

Shriekhawk Battalion:  Ages 4-8
Strill Battalion:  Ages 9-12
Mythosaur Battalion:  Ages 13-17
