33rd Advanced Patrol Regiment

The 33rd Advanced Patrol Regiment was a regiment fighting under the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic's 41st Elite Corps during the Clone Wars. The 33rd Advanced Patrol Regiment were often stationed on recently captured worlds as a garrison force, roughly one to two companies in size depending on the presence of Pro-Republic paramilitary groups.

The Advanced Patrollers fought in several defensive battles during the Clone Wars, most notably the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside the rest of their mother unit during the final days of the conflict.

When the Clone Wars finally reached it's end and the Galactic Empire dawned under the Supreme Chancellor's New Order, the 33rd became part of the Stormtrooper Corps.

The Volunteer Troopers within the unit were all reassigned to the Imperial Army or deserted within the first two years of the Empire.

## History

### Formation

The 33rd Advanced Patrol Regiment was formed five months after the First Battle of Geonosis by Daniel Ruger, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Corellian Security Force. Under him the members of his CSF battalion, were quickly integrated into the GAR as Volunteer Troopers combining pieces of the Phase I clone trooper armor with their own uniforms. Furthermore, as a mixed-unit it also contained Clone Troopers and even members of the Antarian Rangers.

### Battle of Endocray (Month 11-13 ABG)

Helex Company participated in the Battle of Endocray having been stationed on the world when the CIS attacked it.

### Battle of D'Qar

Following the Battle of D'Qar, the Regiment's Yankee Company would be stationed on the world as a Garrison force.

### Battle of Kashyyyk

Following the Battle of Coruscant, the 41st Elite Corps was deployed to Kashyyyk (Along side a Battlegroup made up of members of the 501st, 91st, and 327th led by Commander Faie), this included every Garrison force operated by the Advanced Patrollers, with members of Regiment being among the first to arrive. Once on the ground the 33rd Regiment got to work fortifying their positions, awaiting the inevitable CIS assault.

And soon it came as the Droid Army attacked in full force, enhanced by the battle mediation of Jedi Master Yoda, the 33rd APR and their Wookie allies fearlessly fired upon their droid adversaries, halting the advance of two entire droid divisions. As the battle started coming to a close, the clone troopers of the Regiment received Contingency Order 66, and without hesitation obeyed, in the confusion of the situation, the CIS launched a counter-offensive decimating the 33rd resulting in all about a 178 of the 4th Garrison's men being killed. The fighting would continue until the Droid Army was deactivated.

### Imperial Service

In 19 BBY, the 33rd Advanced Patrol Regiment would undergo a major structural overhaul as the volunteers within the unit were reassigned to the newly minted Imperial Army, with Spaarti clones replacing them.

### Engagement at Sheris

That same year they and the 87th Assault Regiment were deployed to put a down an uprising on the planet of Sheris.
