White Squad White 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 , White Squad was led by Sergeant RC - 1013 . Six months after the start of the Clone Wars at Geonosis , beginning the galaxy - spanning war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , White Squad was tasked with a mission to 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 , three of the four commandos were killed by the Trandoshan mercenaries ; the squad ' s sergeant was the only survivor , killing the last of the Trandoshans and recovering the package as ordered . History . The four members of White 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 , White 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 , White Squad ' s soldiers were summoned to the headquarters of Republic Intelligence , along with the commandos of Blue 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 , Blue Squad ambushed the Trandoshan mercenaries on the steet , but were killed when the Trandoshans threw a number of thermal detonators from their landspeeder while attempting to escape . At he order of White Squad ' s sergeant , RC - 1013 — a man known by the nickname of " Sarge " — White Squad ' s ordnance specialist destroyed one of the Trandoshan speeders with a missile launcher , while the squad sniper killed the pilot of a second speeder , causing it to crash . As the final speeder fled the scene with the package onboard , White Squad rushed to pursue , boarding a speeder piloted by the squad ' s fourth man and tracking the bounty hunters toward the industrial yards . Arriving at an open courtyard , the squad split up to search for the Trandoshans and it was the commando who had piloted their speeder who came across them : the Trandoshans were meeting with a squad of Confederacy battle droids , who opened fire on the soldier , killing him . Sarge quickly threw an EMP grenade through the door , shorting out the B1 and B2 battle droids , before White Squad poured in and destroyed the damaged droids with their DC - 17m blaster rifles . Once the droids were destroyed , the commandos set their sights on a blast door at the rear of the building and the squad demolitions expert set a charge on the door that blew an entrance for the soldiers . The surprised Trandoshans rushed behind their speeder for cover as the clone commandos stormed the room with weapons firing . The squad ' s explosives man was shot and killed by one of the bounty hunters , but a grenade from Sarge left the Trandoshans dead . However , the Trandoshan leader had been hiding , and once the commandos ' guard had been dropped , he struck from behind : firing a shot from his wrist blaster , he struck the ordnance module on the squad sniper ' s pack , detonating it and killing its wearer . As Sarge had been knocked down by the blast as well , the Trandoshan leader attempted to flee again , but Sarge jumped onto his back , dragging him down . Holding him by the neck , Sarge ejected the vibroblade on his right hand ' s knuckle plate and stabbed the bounty hunter in the chest , uttering that it was revenge for his squad ' s deaths . The sergeant then retrieved the package the clones had been sent after , and solemnly left to deliver it to Republic Intelligence as instructed . The package was later delivered to Chancellor Palpatine , who regarded the item inside as little more than an unimportant trinket , which he had Galactic Senate Vice Chair , Mas Amedda , relegate to a storage closet with a number of other similar political gifts . With his squad dead , Sarge was reassigned to a new commando unit , Aiwha Squad , which he would lead up to the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire . 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 " White Squad " for the squad led by Sarge , in contrast to the equally conjectural " Blue Squad " for the sake of reference . White Squad ' s leader , Sarge , would go on to make a further appearance in the of the " Clone Wars Adventures " comic story , " Orders " .
