Blue Squad Blue Squad was an elite special forces squad of clone commandos within the Grand Army of the Republic that operated during the Clone Wars . Comprised of four clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , the commandos took part in a mission to the planet Ord Mantell where they were to recover a diplomatic package that had been bound for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from a gang of Trandoshan bounty hunters who had stolen it with the intent to sell the item to the Confederacy . During the course of the mission , one of Blue Squad ' s soldiers was shot and killed by one of the Trandoshans , while the other three fell in an explosion when attacked with a number of thermal detonators . Their fellow commandos in White Squad were able to complete the mission and recover the package , but they too suffered heavy casualties in doing so . History . The four members of Blue Squad were clones of Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , born on the aquatic world of Kamino , located in the remote Wild Space region of the galaxy . Trained as clone commandos and deployed in opposition to the Confederacy of Independent Systems as part of the Galactic Republic ' s Grand Army following the outbreak of the Clone War s , Blue Squad served as part of the Grand Army ' s Special Operations Brigade with their commando comrades , and operated out of Arca Company Barracks on Coruscant . Six months after the Battle of Geonosis , Blue Squad ' s soldiers were summoned to the headquarters of Republic Intelligence , along with the commandos of White Squad . There , they were briefed by an Advanced Recon Commando intelligence officer who informed the squad that a diplomatic package from Malastare intended to be delivered to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , had in fact been stolen by a group of Trandoshan bounty hunters . The yellow - marked ARC trooper tasked the squad with traveling to the planet Ord Mantell , where the bounty hunters intended to sell the package to the Confederacy , and recover the package from the Trandoshans . On Ord Mantell , White Squad took position on a nearby roof , while Blue Squad enacted a plan to hold the bounty hunters up in the midday traffic . Disguised as a civilian with a tattered brown cloak , one of Blue Squad ' s commandos blocked the road with a large truck , pretending to be attending to its maintenance . When the three - speeder convoy piloted by the Trandoshans arrived , White Squad ' s ordnance specialist opened fire with a missile launcher that destroyed the foremost landspeeder belonging to the bounty hunters . Seeing his moment , the disguised commando attacked , but was killed by one of the Trandoshans almost immediately . Now aware that they had fallen into a trap , the bounty hunters attempted to flee , but the remaining members of Blue Squad assaulted the closest speeder . Desperate , the bounty hunters ran down the clone soldiers with their speeder , before one of his associates threw a number of thermal detonators from the rear of the vehicle . The grenades exploded , killing the last of Blue Squad ' s troops . The commandos would be avenged , however , by the efforts of White Squad , and their sergeant , RC - 1013 . Although they , too , suffered severe casualties in pursuit of the Trandoshan mercenaries , White Squad ' s sergeant killed the last of the bounty hunters and recovered the stolen package for return to Coruscant . Equipment . The commandos of Blue Squad were armed with DC - 17m blaster rifles , the standard issue weapon of clone commandos in the Republic ' s Grand Army . Also , like all clone commandos , Blue Squad ' s members were equipped with " Katarn " - class commando armor . Unlike their comrades in White Squad who each chose a unique paint scheme with which to decorate their individual armor , Blue Squad ' s soldiers emblazoned their armor suits in a uniform blue coloring with white markings , more in line with the matte - black armor shared by the commandos of Omega Squad , or Yayax Squad ' s . Behind the scenes . In 2005 , the of the comics introduced two squads of Republic commandos with the story " The Package " . Though unnamed in the story itself , Wookieepedia uses the conjectural title of " Blue Squad " in contrast to the equally conjectural " White Squad " for the squad led by Sarge , simply for the sake of reference .
