501st Legion: Vader's Fist
Fans & Clans
The 501st Legion, also known as the 501st Battalion during the Clone Wars and later known as "Vader's Fist" and the Five Hundred and First, was an elite unit of clone troopers commissioned by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars that later became a stormtrooper unit. Made up of units like Torrent Company, the 501st fought in many battles, such as the Battle of Teth and the Battle of Coruscant, becoming one of the most well-known legions. In 19 BBY, the 501st became Darth Vader's personal unit as he led them during Operation: Knightfall, in which the clones helped take down the Jedi, whom they believed to be traitors to the Republic.
The Imperial Commando Special Unit was a special forces division of elite operatives that formerly belonged to the Republic Grand Army's Special Operations Brigade during the Clone Wars. With roughly a thousand commandos left by the end of the conflict, the remaining squads were reorganized as a special division within the 501st Legion, the personal stormtrooper unit that served directly under the command of the Sith Lord Darth Vader.
During the early period of the New Order, the Imperial commandos were often tasked with assignments that involved hunting down and assassinating the enemies of the Galactic Empire, ranging from fugitive Jedi to clone renegades and deserters. The unit was first commanded by the Emperor's Hand Sa Cuis, but was later replaced by Commander Roly Melusar after his death. The first Imperial commandos included three of the four members of Delta Squad: IC-1138, IC-1140 and IC-1262; RC-1207 had disappeared in the line of duty. The commandos left over from Omega Squad and Galaar Squad were merged into Squad 40.
DAMN for several reasons:
-At first battle of Geonosis, 50% of Clone Commandos died becouse they were used as regular infantry. Their equipment and organisation just won`t work in front lines.
-Where is Republic Commando 2???
-What happened to Sev???
-"Only 1 000 left at end of conflict" Damn... There were 10 000 at beginning, 5 000 died at Geonosis (look above) and 4 000 more died during rest of conflicts... I wonder how, if you have played "Republic Commando", you know they can do pretty much anything- expect go after Sev, who is still playing in that turret (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbJ8U5au3ig)
