EVERY SINGLE Clone Legion, Corps, Battalion And Company Explained [Star Wars Canon + Legends] PART 2

During the Clone Wars, The Grand Army of the Republic was vast, with around 3.2 million clone troopers being developed from the genetic template of bounty hunter Jango Fett. Tens of thousands of clone troopers were deployed during the1st Battle of Geonosis, to combat the Separatist Droid Army. The Galactic Senate gave Supreme Chancellor Palpatine authority over military affairs, as thousands of star systems joined the Separatist cause. The galaxy-wide conflict against the Separatists was fought from conflicts in the Outer Rim Territories, to the assault on the Republic’s Capital of Coruscant. The Grand Army of the Republic was comprised of many military groups and units, and in this video, we will be exploring all which have appeared throughout various movies, tv shows, games, comics, and books, from both canon and legends. Let us know in the comments which legion or other unit is your favourite!
The largest units that we will be looking at today, are the clone trooper Corps, which were made up of Four Legions of Clone troopers, totalling 36,864 soldiers. They were led by a Jedi General and a Clone Marshal Commander. Firstly, we have the 21st Nova Corps, more frequently referred to as the Galactic Marines. They were led by Clone Marshal Commander Bacara and Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. Clone soldiers assigned to the 21st Nova Corps were known to possess remarkable discipline and were trained to operate in harsh and hostile conditions, for which they wore specialised armour. They most notably fought during the Mygeeto Campaign. Next, we have the 7th Sky Corps, led by Clone Marshal Commander Cody, and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Included within the 7th Sky Corps, were the 212th Attack Battalion, and both were equipped with armour with orange markings. Key battles that the 7th fought in, were on Christophsis, Ryloth, the 1st battle of Felucia, the 2nd battle of Geonosis, Umbara and Utapau. The 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps were placed under the command of Adi Gallia, and Clone Commander Ponds, until his death, where he was replaced by Commander Neyo. Jedi General Mace Windu also led units within the 91st, such as the 187th Legion, with Jedi Generals Oppo Rancisis and Stass Allie also taking command at various points of the war. With training in mobile warfare and reconnaissance, they were a smaller, more manoeuvrable corps of the Grand Army of the Republic. The 91st was frequently sent out to examine and secure passage for more powerful regiments. The battles of Ryloth, Malastare, and Saleucami were among the most significant conflicts that the 91st participated in. The 327th Star Corps were commanded by Clone Marshal Commander Bly and Jedi General Aayla Secura. Included within the 327th, were the 7th Legion. In addition to distinctive yellow insignia on their armour, pauldrons and kamas were provided as equipment for the corps higher ranking infantry. During the war, the Battle of Quell, the Siege of Saleucami, and the Battle of Felucia were among the corps' most significant engagements. The 41st Elite Corps was under the command of Jedi General Luminara Unduli, and Commander Gree, and included sub-units such as the 41st Scout Battalion and Green Company. During the defense of Kashyyyk, Jedi General Yoda supported Unduli and Gree in command. Although the 41st was a corps in its own right, it was organised as part of the 9th Assault Corps, which was similarly led by Unduli and wore the same armour. The identifying colour schemes for both the 41st and 9th varied considerably. Standard armour of both corps had green markings, and grey markings, depending on the terrain on which they were situated. Specialised camouflage armour was utilised for the Battle of Kashyyyk. In addition, they participated in the 2nd Battle of Geonosis and the Battle of Coruscant. Next, we have the 87th Sentinel Corps, which were distinguished by the maroon markings on their armour, and as a result of its proficiency in urban defensive tactics, they were regularly dispatched to Republic cities that were in risk of falling under Separatist control. Little more is known about them. Finally, we have the 416th Star Corps; a unit led by Jedi General K’Kruhk. They were known to have fought at the battle of Teyr, where much of the legion was wiped out. Unfortunately, there isn’t much else known about them.
