Hi, guys, we promissed you separate articles for each clone unit as the majority of voted for that :)
So, our next unit is a very special one - The Coruscant Guard. As there is no canon number for that formation, for us it will remain with it's name only. They will have both Phase 1 and Phase 2 armour with marks, very easy tho distinguish.
The unique in for them is that actually the unit is composed of two subdivisions - the Homeworld Security, in charge of protecting the Capital of the Republic and the Diplomatic Escort Group, responsible for the protection of important members of the Republic, e.g senators, ambassadors and etc.
Phase 1
Homeworld Security
In both Phase 1 and Phase 2 the Homeworld Security will be playable only as part of the Coruscant garrison.
The unit will be with the size of a platoon and it will have troopers armed with DC-15A, DC-15S, Z6, EWEB and Rocket launchers. Their leader will be Commander CC-1010, "Fox"
Diplomatic Escort Group
They will be available as escort for important Republic citizens and as buildable clone unit. As their are constant on the move the mobility comes with a price and they will leave the heavy EWEBs for the planetary based division. Their canon commander at this time is unknown, so we won't add any for now. The highest ranking clone trooper we know officially is lieutenant (at this time) CC-4477 "Thire" and he will be personally in charge of Cancellor Palpatine's security (You can see them here)
Phase 2
Homeworld Security and Diplomatic Escort Group
In Phase 2 both divisions adopted the same armour and colours, but even if they look the same now, they will continue with their separate duties.
Commander Fox changes his DC-15 in favor of two pistols and Thire now will be the leader of the whole Diplomatic Escort Group but still will guard personally the Chancellor
In addition, the Homeworld Security will have a new special detachement - the Search squad (NEW UNIT)
The unit is composed of 1 specially trained Massiff, named Grizzer, 2 ARF troopers with special equipment (notice the backpacks), 5 Clone troopers for protection and it's leaded by ARF sergeant "Hound"

ARFs with special backpacks
For now we will keep the abilities of the Search squad in secret :)
I want to thanks especially to i2Bros for the wonderfull ARF helmet and textures and to Delta730, for finding the massiffe model (it's from Star Wars Galaxies)
And a really special thank you all 1502 followers that we have at this day.
You are the reason to continue the work :)
As usual, please tell us what do you think about our version of the Coruscant Guard
Awesome, can't wait to be invaded at Coruscant and to suicide Fox for what he did to Fives.
Ahaha, I never saw that comming :D
But it's an interesting idea and I admit I laugh really loud. Thanks for making my day :)
For Phase One why not have Commander Stone CC-5869 in command of the escort forces?
Starwars.wikia.com
Because we actually made him, but he will have another role that we won't discover yet :)
*Perfection* All hail to Fox! He killed that ******* traitor *Fives*. All hail to Palps, God save the Emperor!
Hum tbh I'm not a big fan of the rebel backpack used for the ARFs, can it be updated, eventually?
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
CdtFox, Any ideas? I just wanted to be different from every other pack we have.
Oh, sorry for the late answer bro. I would say small antennas or no backpacks at all. If you really want backpacks you should try the CWA ARC one ;)
Hmm, my idea was to give them something that looked like search and communication equipment and the rebel backpack with the antenna was good option
I wonder on what legion the next article will be :)
I think I can guess what you will want :)
Honestly I make them according to my mood, so if few people ask for the same unit it will be in the next article :)

Damn, we lost 3 people after the article. I guess not everyone liked it :D
No love for the croissant guard
omg croissant, made my day
I love it, and everything about it :)
Everything looks perfect. Just one question, is Captain Fordo in the mod ?
Yes, he is, check the unit's list
Actually, Commander Stone was the highest ranking clone in the Diplomatic Escort Group (he's in one episode, unfortunately, and even more unfortunately he's taking orders from Jar Jar).
maccrawinthejaw, any confirmation about his rank?
And he is in the mod actually, we just haven't announced him, but he is ready
Starwars.wikia.com
This is Canon. The Canon article doesn't officially mention him in the DEG (the Legends does though), but he is the highest ranking clone seen in the DEG, since Thire was only a lieutenant. Maybe make Stone the Phase 1 leader of the DEG and make Thorn the Phase 2?
I know that article, but it doesn't name him the commanding officer.
And we have other role for Stone, that actually can continue in phase 2 without creating a conflict with Thire's promotion :)
It doesn't say he's the CO but he is the highest ranked individual in the DEG.
What's the role?
Well, in the role we saw him in TCW it's possible that he is not. But anyway, we'll leave it for now like we've planned it. Actually his rank it's not important in anyway for the mod.
You have to wait for the role, we'll announce it soon, I have some rigging to make first :)
Wil you add senate guard to the coursacant garrison?
Ofc :)
