Imagine if horn company had decorated their helmets with horns like maul's super commandos did.

Windu's purple boys are my favorite of these lesser known units. What a way to honor their general than to color their armor the same as his lightsaber. And Rip to the Lancer boys. Lancers in combat are super cool, but not very effective when the enemy has guns, tanks, starfighters, and artillery. Still brave badasses, if given the worst combat role in the GAR.

I know some units have to get pasted to establish stakes & power-levels, but I kinda feel for the troops who have only the distinction of getting wiped out.

Real-life soldiers know they may die & must make peace with that. Fictional soldiers can't all have back-stories, but sometimes I am reminded that many are written for the purpose of being killed... it makes me want to ensure any characters I write into existance have an ultimately good purpose for being & dying, not merely to establish or raise stakes. To make the world better for it, not worse. Call it Writer-Responsability.

I mean it’s not that weird for 5th fleet Security. Part of the entire reason why militaries around the world have their own Marines (ie the United States Marine Corps or Royal Marine Corps) is that there is a necessity for troops specifically trained for ship to ship fighting, boarding actions, amphibious operations, and use as expeditionary forces.

There were numerous obscure units that are equally unique and obscure

Hey Greetsly, did you know that there is a rare weapon in the separatist army. It’s called the j-10 dual blaster cannon, it made its first appearance on the battle ryloth and the second battle at geonoss in the clone wars.

I personally think the shadow troopers should be a corps instead of a special unit because they are too cool

I found out about the Clone Shadow Troopers because me and my brothers received the action figures from Target one Christmas. Clone troopers were my favorite action figures back in the Episode III days, and I loved the feeling of seeing a toy of something completely original, and then having a little backstory on the back of the card so that you had an idea of what the Shadow Troopers were. It's a damn shame that Star Wars kids today don't get to have that kind of experience with new types of Stormtroopers or New Republic trooper action figures (because the Sequels didn't have anything work making toys out of, and Disney made sure there was nothing to make figures out of, except Finn, Poe, Rey, Kylo and First Order Stormtroopers)

I think a lot of this is more down to a later writer/producer not really checking (or not caring) that the details of the unit following Mace Windu had already been established and created new colour scheme and called them a Battalion instead.

In the 19th to the earliest 20th century Lancers were equivalent part of military's back then and there are only seen in things like state ceremonies or Parades or whatever..

5th Fleet Security are Marines...in space. You could even call them...Space Marines. :3

I would take the Lego appearance of the legends 187th with a grain of salt. Both the canon 187th and the legends 187th got merchandise in the same year (2022). If I had to guess why Lego chose the legends version over the canon version (they probably looked up mace windu’s clone trooper on google and found that most sources point to the old version since the canon version is still relatively new). Bonus: it would probably be safe to assume commander ponds and lightning squadron in canon are part of the 187th instead of the 91st reconnaissance corps since the new 187th is based on commander ponds’s design.

Another fun fact - all clone units were metric (because they weren't Imperial yet)

Tapal and the venator getting destroyed was sad. I felt bad for the clones, seeing as they liked cal and tapal, but couldnt resist order 66

I still have no idea why Shadow troopers never got a Clone wars episode. They deserve atleast ONE episode of spotlight.

U know, this is probably very obscure, but I have a soft spot for Breakout Squad from the secret missions books

U missed keelis company who fought to the end on ryloth

Commander Kite and his battalion, 7th legion, blue barc troopers, and purple galactic marines do seem quite obscure as well.

I would say I hope to see more of these in shows, but I don't want them to be a let down so I'd prefer them to be mentioned in more books and novels. I am particularly interested in divisions focused on Republic security and covert ops because I loved the EU stories which had way more nuance, so it would be cool to a darker side to the Republic.

No wonder we haven’t heard of them. They all got wrecked.

I thought that the 182nd and/or the 187th was a subdivision of the 91st reconnaissance corp.

I know this isn't canon, but I like to think that the 181st were a sub-unit within the 41st Elite Corps.

@jameshersom2536

I honestly like them being separate because that just means more clones were fighting in the battle than what we saw. No way only 35k clones defended the city on kashyyyk. All the other clone units that were there that wore green brown and mustard just bolsters the idea of how massive the battle was.

At first I thought I was called out as a casual... now I know I'm a lore enthusiast. I prefer that over nerd xD.

I head Canon that Horn Company is a Company a part of the 442nd Siege Battalion. Because their Armour colours look so so similar that I have no other explanation for them.

The 108th Air Assault Battalion has unique markings and lore that's within EA's Star Wars Battlefront II. The 108th Air Assault Battalion was under the command of Jedi General Karzon Kenarko. The battalion was under General Kenobi's 7th Sky Corps, 3rd Sector Army.

This is a massive discussion. Short & diplomatic version - not as many Clones needed because local organics often fought for their own worlds, but certainly far more than three million Clones were needed to crew all those ships as well as be ground-troops.

Hey can you do what does the seperatest droid army do in their spare time, do they take breaks

You know its probably something only I would care about, but I really wish someone would just go and decide on a set list of each large clone formation listing their numbers and how many sub units served under them. As well as smaller formations that seem to be pretty much autonomous, such as the 501st not having any established Corps they were attached to, while in other cases to seems that the Corps' deployed in their entirety as whole units.
