Today we're going to take a look at the major divisions of the Grand Army of the
Republic, but first I need to give a shout out to Reddit user jawzilla1,
who inspired this video with his fantastic post on the same subject. With
his permission, I am adapting it to video form with some additions. The 501st
Legion served under Jedi General Anakin Skywalker.
They were led by Captain Rex, whose call sign was CT-7567. They were distinguished
by the blue markings on their armor. The 501st was possibly the most
well-known clone Legion in the galaxy and they often served on the front lines.
They accompanied general Skywalker to the Jedi Temple to begin the extermination
of the Jedi Order.
However, by this point in the war, Captain Rex had removed his inhibitor chip and
was not involved in the attack. The 501st transitioned into a
stormtrooper unit and remained in Darth Vader's service until they were too old
for duty.
The 212th attack battalion served under Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. Their leader
was CC-2224, Commander Cody.
Their armor bore yellow orange markings.
They were well known for their elite airborne troopers and often served
alongside the 501st. They accompanied General Kenobi to Utapau,
where they helped eliminate General Grievous. When Commander Cody was given
the order to eliminate Obi-Wan,
he did so without hesitation. The 212th continued serving the Galactic Empire
and were sent to Kashyyyk, where they successfully put down a Wookiee revolt.
The 41st Elite Corps normally served under Jedi General Luminara Unduli. They
were led by CC-1004, Commander Gree, and their armor had green markings. During
the final days of the Clone Wars, they accompanied Jedi Master Yoda to fight in
the Battle of Kashyyyk. When Commander Gree was given the order
to execute Yoda,
he was beheaded, but the 41st was successful on the capture of General Unduli.
The 104th battalion served under Jedi General Plo Koon. Their clone
commander was CC-3636,
Commander Wolffe, and his name gave his battalion the nickname The Wolfpack.
Their armor had grey markings and their gun ships were decorated with art
depicting their soldiers with their Jedi General along with text that read
"Plo's Bros".
Unfortunately, when Order 66 came, the 104th did not hesitate to shoot General
Plo out of the sky.
On the bright side, Commander Wolffe himself joined Captain Rex in removing
his inhibitor chip and did not betray the Jedi. The 21st Nova Corps, more
commonly known as the Galactic Marines, served with Jedi General Ki-Adi Mundi.
Their commander was Bacara or CC-1138, whose name is Lucas Film easter egg.
Their armor was distinctive due to the synth mesh they wore to keep out
hazardous materials. They were known for being particularly aggressive in combat.
They were on Mygeeto with their general when Order 66 began and they quickly
dispatched him. The 327th StarCore served under Jedi General Aayla Secura. Their
commander was CC-5052, nicknamed Bly. They had sand colored markings on their armor
and were on Felucia when they received Order 66.
Bly led the brutal execution of General Secura. The Coruscant Guard was a
division of Clone Shock Troopers that served as peacekeepers on Coruscant. They
did not serve a Jedi General and their commander was CC-1010, also known as
Commander Fox.
They wore red markings on their armor and were fiercely loyal to Chancellor Palpatine.
Clone Force 99, also known as The Bad Batch, were created with
purposeful genetic mutations that enhanced their skills. They were led by
Sergeant Hunter and were called in for special assignments throughout the Clone Wars.
