501st

The 501st Legion, also known as Vader's Fist and the Five Hundred and First during the Galactic Civil War, was originally a legion of elite clone troopers commissioned by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. The 501st was trained and based on Coruscant and deployed in smaller units as required.
The 501st fought in some of the most notable battles of the Clone Wars, such as the Battle of Mygeeto and the Battle of Coruscant, becoming one of the most well-known and most feared legions. They later became Darth Vader's personal stormtrooper unit after he led them during Operation: Knightfall, in which the clones helped take down the Jedi, whom they believed to be traitors to the Republic.
Following the rise of the Empire, the 501st's troopers were converted to stormtroopers, with new armor and weapons. The 501st fought in many battles in an attempt to defeat the Rebel Alliance, although the Alliance ultimately triumphed. During the Galactic Civil War, the 501st was the last remnant of the Grand Army of the Republic fully composed of clones of Jango Fett, as opposed to the ever-growing and more diverse Stormtrooper Corps where the Fett clones became a minority with the inclusion of a pool of clones from different templates and birth-born recruits. Eventually, with the relaxing of Imperial Non-huMan policies, more diverse recruits would be added to the 501st, including even non-Humans.
