Content warnings: If you allow our troopers to hold the seminars outlined in the email sent to muuohjelma@ropecon.fi with the title "Finnish Garrison osaksi Ropeconia 2026", there might be little room in the lecture space. Otherwise none of the above should be problems.
Our characters do have toy replicas representing Star Wars weaponry, and the Imperial Officers do vaguely represent real life military. These have never caused problems that I am aware of though.
Other accessibility information: Our main attraction is a photobooth, which we have confirmed to be usable with anyone whom is able to move to the location it is in. Our troopers speak Finnish and English, and we do have extra personnel to transmit spoken words to the people in the armour in cases where the words can not be heard under the helmet.
