Bacara even believed he would gladly do the same to anyone else who was a "threat" to the Galactic Republic.

This squad first appeared in the 2005 saga film, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, during the Order 66 sequence. It was later identified to be a squad in the 2018 canon reference book, Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition. However, The Complete Visual Dictionary incorrectly says that Mundi ignited his lightsaber when the squad opened fire, while Revenge of the Sith shows that Mundi had ignited the blade before his clones turned on him.
In the comic book Kanan 2, while being faced with Order 66 on the planet Kaller, Jedi Padawan Caleb Dume experienced a vision of the clones turning on their Jedi. Among the deaths he witnessed was Mundi being shot by his squad. However, the comic depicted Order 66 occurring after the Conquest of Kaller,Kanan 2 while Aftermath, the premiere episode of the Star Wars: The Bad Batch animated series, would later depict Order 66 occurring on Kaller concurrent to the battle.
