In December of 1998, one year after launching, the 501st Squad was up to a whopping 61 members. Even this early, all six of the original trooper types from the movies were represented. No Sith Lords had appeared, no bounty hunters of any kind (the Phoenix Squadron existed, but was not yet officially a part of the 501st)... just troopers. The members hailed mostly from the Midwest, New York, Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, and Florida. A few came from as far away as Canada, Switzerland, Okinawa, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. Below is a roster of the ORIGINAL troopers of the 501st - pioneers in their day!
