    On November 6th, 2018 a member of the Star Wars Opposition community and the 501st Legion,  Austin “Valmoric” Philips, passed away at the age of 22. Valmoric was one of the head developers and lead texture artist of the Star Wars Opposition mod and a beloved trooper in the 501st; Clone #8816, “Valmoric” joined the 501st on July 7th, 2017 where he eventually became a medic and achieved the rank of senior trooper, but was well known with an active personality in the unit long before then, to the earliest days of the formation of the 501st. With all of these roles, duties and histories in mind, Valmoric as a person was very friendly and kind. He always had time for those in need and went out of his way to make sure everyone around him was happy. 501st troopers are mourning him in different ways, including a large memorial service held by the battalion on Saturday 19th, 2018, which can be found below and many other individuals are holding their own personal vigils to help remember him. We send our wishes to his family and everyone that has been affected by this tragedy. Without much of Valmoric's work, this community would never have existed and he will be missed by many.
