Torrent Company / Legends Torrent Company was an elite company of clone troopers within the 501st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic . Under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and led by Clone Captain Rex , the company participated in several battles throughout the Clone Wars . In addition to 144 clone troopers , Torrent Company made use of AT - TE walkers and heavy artillery cannons to combat the Separatist droid army . History . Christophsis . When Christophsis came under siege by the Separatists , the Jedi Council dispatched General Skywalker and the men of Torrent Company , along with General Kenobi and his own clone forces , to aide the planet ' s inhabitants . After exposing a traitor in their midst and appearing to have secured the planet in the latest wave of battle , Torrent Company ' s troopers rushed back into battle when the battle droids returned yet again , this time using an energy shield for protection . With their heavy artillery rendered effectively useless , the men of Torrent Company were forced to street fight , doing their best to draw the droids into the buildings . This gave Skywalker and his new Padawan Ahsoka Tano time to sneak past the enemy lines and destroy their deflector shield generator , exposing the droids to the devastating fire of the heavy cannons . With the destruction of their shield generator , the defeat of the droid army , and capture of the Separatist General Whorm Loathsom by General Kenobi , the Battle of Christophsis was over . Teth . However , Torrent Company would have little time to recover from the battle before being sent to the planet Teth with Skywalker and Tano in order to recover Jabba the Hutt ' s son who had been kidnapped and was being held by the Confederacy of Independent Systems at their hideout in the B ' omarr monastery there . Because of heavy fire , the LAAT / i gunships carrying Torrent Company into battle had to insert via the jungle and then ascend a mesa wall utilizing AT - TE walkers and rifle - mounted liquid - cable launchers ; Torrent Company suffered heavy casualties and lost one of the walkers in taking the mountain top base . It became obvious that the mission was a trap when more Confederacy forces landed , led by Asajj Ventress , and Torrent Company was forced to retreat into the monastery . While Skywalker and Tano searched for a way to get the recently recovered Huttlet to safety , Captain Rex and the rest of Torrent Company fought a losing battle to stall the droids at the entrance . The survivors were taken prisoner as bait for Skywalker , although Rex disarmed and shot one of his battle droid captors , reigniting the battle . Torrent Company ' s remaining troops fought valiantly against the overwhelming droid forces and even though General Kenobi , Commander Cody , and the men of the 212th Attack Battalion arrived to provide relief , by that time only Captain Rex and five other members of Torrent Company were still alive . Rebuilding and JanFathal . Following the Battle of Teth , Torrent Company ' s forces were in drastic need of replenishment . From the new intake from Kamino , six rookie clones joined Rex , Ahsoka Tano , and one of the only survivors of Teth , Sergeant Coric , aboard Gilad Pellaeon ' s newly refitted " Acclamator " - class assault ship " Leveler " for a shakedown cruise and training mission . After receiving a distress signal from Republic Intelligence agent Hallena Devis on JanFathal , however , Torrent Company ' s small detachment was forced to infiltrate the planet ' s capital in the midst of an ongoing Separatist invasion to extract the agent . While the mission was a success , one of the rookie troopers died in a grenade blast , while another died aboard " Leveler " from blood loss due to a shot taken to the upper thigh . Captain Rex mourned yet more fallen comrades and lamented the task of again finding replacements .
