Hell hath no fury like a woman stormtrooper.

Yes, while women are finally making strides in the military here on Earth, others took charge -- galactically speaking -- long, long ago.

These are the Ladies of the 501st Legion of stormtroopers and Imperial costumers, proving girls can be just as nerdy as guys when it comes to "Star Wars" cosplay. And four high-ranking Legion members will speak at this weekend's Silicon Valley Comic Con (www.svcomiccon.com) at the San Jose Convention Center, sharing their experiences of "trooping while female" in a mostly male hobby, says Diana Wolf Torres, a centurion (the highest rank of stormtrooper) in the Golden Gate Garrison. (She also dresses as an Imperial officer, but says the knee-high boots are torture, and should be used only to extract information from Rebel scum.)

In a talk at 10 a.m. in Room 12 during the Con's Sunday session, she will be joined by Stacy Meyn and Sarah Pugliaresi, also Imperial officers and biker scouts, and Sophia Ramos, the Legion's only "animated Clone Commander Thire."

I don't know what that is, but, here, Commander, take my coordinates to the Rebel base! And have a really nice day!
