332nd Legion (RP)

## 332nd Legion

A recent addition to the Grand Army of the Republic, the 332nd Legion was a clone force partially derived from the 501st Legion. Following her promotion to Jedi General, Ahsoka Tano was placed as overseer of the 332nd alongside Marshal Commander Jesse. Serving alongside the other battalions in the Third Systems Army, the 332nd were well known for their unorthodox battle strategies.

## **Description**

The 332nd were an easy group to find on any battlefield, as their orange markings along with the detailing on their helmets were the defining physical features of the clone unit. The legion was similar to the 501st as many of the original members served under General Skywalker. Strategies of the 332nd often involved pushing a strong offensive, rather than a slow approach or maintained defense. Under the command of General Tano, the 332nd had become innovative and free-thinking in their methods, being . While often stationed alongside the rest of the Third Systems Army, the 332nd preferred to work within themselves rather than collaborate alongside the other clone forces.

## **History**

### **Battle of Kamino & Battle of Mandalore**

The 332nd's first battle was on the clones' homeworld of Kamino. Facing impossible odds, they had to hold out against both General Grievous and Count Dooku with assistance from General Tano. The 332nd's next assignment was the first battle of Mandalore. It was during this battle that they developed their signature formation of two men blitzing the enemy with support from command while snipers and the rest of their troops went up the middle to continue the fight. The battle of Mandalore was fought by the 332nd without support from a Jedi general, and they were able to claim most of the capital city and the throne room without experiencing any casualties.

### **First Campaign**

The 332nd was then transferred to the Third Systems Army, where their first mission was to reclaim Ahsoka's sabers from the lair of General Grievous. This battle proved a challenge for them as although they successfully reclaimed the sabers, most of their men were either killed or injured. After retrieving the sabers their next mission was to carve a path to Geonosis.

Their first stop was the battle of Rugosa, where the 332nd suffered one of their greatest trials. With only 4 survivors making it off-world, the battle was almost lost from the start with most of their LAATs being shot out of the air before their arrival. The battle would go on for some time before Generals Hett and Bardan, Commander Jesse, and Limbo managed to achieve a small victory at the cost of trading Bardan for the base. The 3SA were then transferred from their original battle plans, instead being sent to Mustafar. There, the main bulk of their forces rushed the base along with the 501st as Jesse, Crusader, Republic Commando Rainy and Former Marshal Commander Rex(deceased) led a sniper mission clearing the remaining droid defenses and allowing the assault to continue.

The 332nd were then sent to Hoth with the 501st, further cementing the bond between the groups. When General Tano was captured, Jesse and Vaughn managed to recover her sabers but failed to recover the General herself as the rest of the unit continued to rush the CIS base with the 501st. Thanks to the newly formed Carnivore Company, the 3SA managed to defeat the heavily defended base on Hoth. During the finale battle of the campaign, the 3SA rescued their captured friends on Tangrene (affectionately referred to as Tangerine by Jesse) It was here that as the 3SA had to go down different paths. The 332nd fought through the right half of the base, their close quarter abilities allowing them to handle both the overwhelming sea of buzz droids and magnaguards. When finally freeing one of the prisoners there they found Admiral Yularen instead of General Tano and found out when leaving that Ahsoka was saved by the 501st.

### **SAA Deployment**

For a very short time, the 332nd was transferred to Systems Army Alpha. It was during this time that they really improved their bond with their General who until now had been absent for most of their careers, and through training they learned to appreciate and enjoy their General's company. Their only battle as part of the SAA was the defense of Kessel, where they attempted to hold a mine against incoming CIS troops. They unfortunately failed this objective, having to resort to collapsing the mine and then being excavated and evacuated by the 41st, returning to the 3SA not long after.

### **Second Campaign and Odessen**

The 332nd returned to 3SA broken and defeated. They were assigned to Russan, a mission that originally proved almost easy for them, as they cleared through the CIS moon base with ease. Obsidian dispatched the CIS commander and demolished the base with explosives. They then went planet side it was here that they would suffer one of their greatest losses in Jedi Padawan Ferus Olin who was possessed by a dark entity on and was forced to be put down by his master, the clones being powerless to help either of them. The 3SA were trapped on Odessen due to mysterious circumstances. It was here that their personalities really began to shine through. 2 weeks before leaving Odessen, Jesse and Commander Cody were forced to fight and kill MMAJ. Crusader, something that scarred Jesse mentally. The 332nd finished their stay on Odessen fighting with the 501st against the spirits of the planet before returning to the Third Systems Army flagship, the Sims-I.

### **Ossel II**

The 332nd Legion and the 3SA as a whole were transferred to Ossel II to assist Grand Admiral Tarkin. During this time they fought pirates in multiple skirmishes suffering few casualties and even managing to help reclaim a space station. When trying to retake a stolen Bellator they lost a promising young CT named Sunny, being the only casualty while others were only injured. The remainder of the mission was successful on their end, and they were able to clear both the barracks and officers quarters.

## **Combat Ability**

The troopers of the 332nd differ from regular clones in their skill with the DP-23 as well as ground vehicles, being supplied with Beskar Clone Armor and additional ordinance, as well as additional Thermal Detonators and EMP Grenades.

All in all, the 332nd will prove extremely effective in most situations, thriving in close quarters due to their skill in using shotguns and their durable armor.

## **Additional Info**

Although the 332nd has an abysmal survival rate for new troopers, (Affectionally known as shinies) those who do survive turn out to be some of the best standard troops the GAR can offer. The 332nd is often thrown at problems to handle issues that others don't want to take on. This leads to a high casualty rate and although often put in tough situations, the legion usually pulls through and is able to accomplish their objective. The ones who survive the crucible of their first mission with this legion are proud capable members able to deal with almost any issue they come across.
