17th "Krayt Dragons" Attack Regiment

```
"Krayt Dragons are known for their pearls."~Anonymous, old proverb.

*"We're the best of the best, the elite."*
—CT-7829 "Sky"
The **17th Attack Regiment,** often called the **17th "Krayt Dragons"**, was a regiment-sized unit that served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. It participated in the First Battle of Geonosis.

The unit was known for its distinctive light blue markings.

## **Description**

The vast majority of 17th Krayt Dragons were seen wielding DC15A blaster rifles and other variants of the same weapon. The standard trooper had white armor accented by light blue. Once they began the transition into Phase II armor, there were noticeably more variants in color patterns. The 17th also housed reprogrammed battle droids within its ranks, also accenting them with light blue.

## **History**

### **Early War**

During the First Battle of Geonosis, the 17th, which at the time was a company, deployed alongside the rest of the attack force and successfully survived the battle.

Soon after, the Company was deployed on a mission to capture a band of criminals hiding out on Tatooine but crash landed due to ship malfunctions. The survivors killed a Greater Krayt Dragon and used its bones to create shelters. After getting rescued, they would be nicknamed "Krayt Dragons."

### **Reorganization**

Upon being rescued and returned to Coruscant the regiment's surviving personnel were granted command over a battalion of new recruits recently arrived from Kamino. Thus they became the 17th Attack Battalion.

4 months after Geonosis, The 17th were deployed to the planet Carka to assist the 382nd Battalion. The 17th then showed off their battle prowess.

### Before Kalos II

*"They don't call us the Krayt Dragons for nothing."*
—Then-Warrant Officer CT-1111 "Carbon" to a 382nd Officer.At some point in the war CC-7305 "Crass” would be killed leaving Major CC-1191 "Ion" in command.

### Battle of Kalos II and Aftermath

Following a battle at Kalos II, they designated The *Honorable Justice* as their flagship. During the battle, they would lose a company and a half of men.

By late 21 BBY, the 17th was reorganized into a Regiment.

### Battle of Dantooine

The 17th would be deployed to Dantooine. There Ion was wounded.

### Battle of Ukio

The 17th Attack Regimental assisted the 20th Armored Infantry Regiment in fending off Seperatist forces.

### Battle of Nevarro

The 17th fought on Nevarro prior to the Battle of Kiest II

### Battle of Kiest II and **Rise of the Empire**

The 17th Attack Regiment fought in the Battle of Kiest II during the final days of the war, where Floran Nima was killed by Ion, in compliance with Order 66, who died soon after. The 17th Attack Regiment would be soon after be inaugurated into the Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Crops.
