184th Strike Battalion

The 184th Strike Battalion was a unit in the Grand Army of the Republic led by Jedi Commander By'rin Tusk and Battalion Commander CC-67/86-3269 "Bludgeon" during the Clone Wars.

## History

### Formation

The 184th Strike Battalion itself did not participate in the First Battle of Geonosis, instead it was formed after the battle from the remnants of 33rd Battalion, 210th Battalion, and 4th Battalion.

### Battle of Thule

Approximately 1 month into the war, the 184th were deployed to the planet Thule during the Dark Reaper Crisis and took part in the battle there.

### Battle of Gira

Approximately 3.6 months into the Clone Wars, as part of the 43rd Legion, the 184th was deployed to the planet Gira, in order to back the pro-Republic, Giran Department of Planetary Security.

The 184th Strike Battalion proved to be one of the most competent forces during the Battle of Gira, successfully capturing the major manufacturing city of Sarah early in the battle, securing a massive number of WS-90 Roadrunners, hyper-durable Armored Personnel Carriers. Later on, the 184th Strike Battalion participated in the capture of the Rhatani Islands, thrity-nine days in the battle.

The tide of the battle quickly changed with the CIS arrival's during the Giran summer, and the 184th was forced to retreat at the Battle of Scarlet Beach.

On day one-hundred and ten, the 184th were tasked with Operation: HAYSTACK a mission to capture CIS Lieutenant General Jericho Canaan. They accepted the mission and with the help of the recently arrived Alpha-04, spent the next five days preparing for the mission.

When the day came, the 184th flawlessly executed the mission, all the way up until it came to assault Camp Targie, as it soon became clear General Canaan was nowhere to be found, however his second-in-command Major General Markus Donivan was found and killed by Commander Bludgeon after a brief scuffle.

The 184th were present when the CIS launched a massive assault on the GAR's headquarters, forcing a thirty-three day long retreat. Luckily for the 184th they came out of the battle relatively intact, having lost 125 men and suffered 110 wounded.

### Reorganization

Following the Battle of Gira, the remainder of the 43rd Legion, (the 184th Strike Battalion among them) was reassigned to 416th Star Corps's 551st Elite Legion, under a reorganized 222nd Regiment, with any remaining clones being assigned to 551st's 9th Infantry Regiment.

By early Month 11 of the Clone Wars, the 184th Strike Battalion was deemed combat ready once more.

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

A few days later, the 184th were sent to reinforce the garrison on Endocray. During the Battle of Endocray, the Battalion assisted the Helex Company of the 33rd Advanced Patrol Regiment in repelling a CIS assault on Camp Garde.

Following the Defense of Camp Garde, the battalion alongside the 162nd and 20th Combat Engineer Battalion participated in the retaking of Tolo and Don-Kiso.
