From the British TV series Blake’s 7 that ran from 1978 to 1981.  It told the story of a group of criminals turned freedom fighters and an evil earth federation.  

Servalan – The most evil person in the federation, who started out as a general and then became president.

The costume was an original design based on styles worn by Jacqueline Pearce who played the part.  An additional part was a button that read “Who died and made you Blake?”

Kerr Avon – Second best computer programmer in the galaxy who tried to steal from the banking system.  He was recruited by Blake.

This costume was a recreation of the one worn by Paul Darrow.  The many studs on the shirt made it very interesting.  The weapon was a recreation of the one on the program, which was a lighted rod with a handle powered by an energy source on the belt.  This recreation was made from aquarium parts, plastic champagne cups, and a stereo cable which connected it to batteries in a pack on the belt.
