The 187th actually have two separate distinctions in current canon. The 187th Legion are the purple ones and are bigger in number and are Mace Windu’s elite. The 187th Battalion are smaller and specialize in urban warfare but can be changed to fit any number of battle situations, this unit featured Maroon markings similar to the clone who whore it before them, Commander Ponds, this battalion honors him by condoning the markings.

Fun fact: The 104th legion (wolf pack) had maroon color marking so shown what a wolf could do to someone but the death of many troops when they were stranded in space they changed to grey to show they have hardened and strengthened
Great video it’s always awesome to see clones Also I hate to be that guy 3:08 but it’s not The 327th Sky Corps but it’s The 327th Star Corps, Also the 7th Sky Corps/212th in TCW always seemed to appear more of a Orangey Yellow or Yellowish Orange rather than full on Orange their colour sits somewhere between the 327th and the helmet piece of the 332nd (or full armour if you go by the novel version). 212th are my faves the seeing Orangish Yellow on the bois in TCW series alongside the bois in blue from the 501st series was always awesome.
@@VadersFortress2 I’m currently working on a costume for approval to the 501st as the Galactic Marines. It’s a pain to put together but it’s worth it because it looks so awesome!
Considering the 87th Sentinel Corps was the default skin for battle of Naboo, it would be my educated guess that they belonged to the 17th Sector Army. And therefore served under one of the unmentioned Jedi High Generals. My guess: Depa Billaba.
Thx for this video it gets confusing knowing which is which well I don’t mind so much for numbers just the names and what corps was the 501st legion part of
The coruscant guard was twin unit too the 87th sentinel corps. Fox was the marshal commander of the 87th sentinel corps and after Palpatine passed a law allowing him to appoint law enforcement agency’s and destroy them at will to suit the republic and core worlds, marshal commander fox was chosen to pick every man in the newly formed coruscant shock trooper guard. He literally just took with him the whole damn 87th and changed the red markings on the armour to match that of sith warriors tattoos but of coarse nobody would recognize this given the order in wich the sith warriors existed hadn’t been around for over 1000 years. I know that was long winded but there’s actually more lore than people would suprise about the clones if only given so research time.
There are only 80 Corps, doesn't mean they are all named from 1 to 80. I mean the US Army has the 101st Airborne Division; it doesn't have 101 active divisions.
I think you explained some things a bit rough, not in really false but not right either. In real life military a General like Kenobi would be in command of an Battalion like the 212th, yes the the Colonel or Commander of the Battalion would get orders from a General but not directly. Yes we see Kenobi fight with the 212th and even Ghost Company but he wouldnt be directly in charge of them. I would explain like this: Ghost Company was lead by Lieutenant (later Captain) Waxer, Waxer would get his Orders from Commander Cody who was in charge of the 212th, the Corps was lead by General Kenobi. Also Cody wouldnt with Kenobi in command but his second in command, if Kenobi gets wounded or something Cody would step in like on Geonosis. Similar with the 501st Torrent Company lead by Captain Rex, in an Battalion, Brigade or something similar lead by Commander Tano, wich was second in Command of the Legion later in the war Commander Appo. General Skywalker lead the whole Legion, gave orders to his Commander (Tano, Appo,...) and they to their Captains and Lieutenants (Rex, Vaughn, Jesse,...). Yes Anakin fights directly with Rex but if he fights he has to be somewhere on the Battlefield so he chooses his best Company with his most trusted Captain.
So my question is because 1, love the comment. I wanted to break it down like this but was to lazy haha. But my question is what would be the case for Mace Windu and the 187th and 91st? The way I see that situation is, due to High Jedi status and rank, I would say that the 187th would be his “Personal Guard”. Example! Even though he didn’t fight, when Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf visited the battlefield, who was his personal bodyguard detail. SF. With probably a ranger battalion in reserve. What’s another thing rangers do? Reconnaissance. 91st with Ponds as his 2nd, that leads into battle on Ryloth. For those who say rangers don’t do reconnaissance, they do direct action, look up the LRRPs of Vietnam. Anyway, the 187th could very much be on the same tier as the 21st and 501st as far as fight prowess and brutality. I mean it’s Mace Windu, his troops wouldn’t be just any regular soldiers. But how do you explain that situation. Id love to hear your thoughts.
If I understand the question correctly, I‘d say that Windu has command over to units is either that 187th Legion is part of the 91st Recon Corps (because a Corps is bigger than a Legion) or Windu is a higher general rank than others (example Major General is above a Brigadier General). Otherwise the fact about the recon units in Vietnam is something I didnt know of, but it makes sense. So in that case that would make sense that the 91st isnt just for recon. About the personal guard thing I dont know, visualy it would make sense, with the connection to the pretorian guatd of the roman empire that wore aswell purple colours. Otherwise I dont have enough knowledge about personal guards in the Military, but that a whole Legion guards one General even if it is someone like Windu, I think is unlikely.
carnivore battalion ,execution battalion they are in da 501st. 203rd, 7th sky corps,9th assault corps, 38th armored division and 7th legion, also 05 battalion, 41st scout battalion, also K company, bacta company
I'm still confused about which Army Command these corps/legions/battalions belonged to. All I know is that the 7th Sky Corps and 327th Star Corps belonged to the Third Army.
Im just now realizing this when order 66 happend there is no way uliminara undili survived because just minutes before it happened she was in combat on land and everyone sais she was killed after it i think there is no way😊

Orange is my color, but I am right on the cusp of brown (I scored 76). Because peace is always the ultimate goal, I would not want something super flashy, so I am thinking something like Jedi Master Tera Sinube’s sabercane. I would want something that I can take with me everywhere, so I’m thinking of a hilt made from Brylark tree wood to match the walking stick it would be attached to. My lightsaber would also be at the BOTTOM of my staff, again to signify it as a “worst case scenario”, if peaceful negotiations were not working. I would have the pommel (bottom) of my lightsaber as the claw of a Wampa so it doubled as grip for my walking stick and also just look cool. The rest of the staff would again be quite basic, to not draw attention to it. I’m thinking something similar to Chirrut Îmwe’s staff, but potentially made from roots from the Tree of Life from Kashyyyk, which were gifted to me after helping the Wookiees that protect the base of the tree. The staff would also be decorated with Shyyyo bird feathers to further enhance my relationship with nature.
GIVEAWAY ENTRY: My ideal saber would have a hilt similar to that of a Odachi or Katana which I can extend or break off of the hilt to provide as a extra guard since the metal I’d have for my saber would be from Neuranium. It would temporarily block light sabers to prevent a chance of my saber from being destroyed id have the threading of my saber be infused with Cortisis Ore that would short circuit my opponents sabers giving me a upper hand in a duel. The Kyber crystal id choose is the Kaiburr Crystal I’d also have a blade at the end similar to Darth Malgus’s design however long enough to provide as a dagger. I’d ideally like to have small components at the bud of my saber hilt that would have extra Cortosis ore shrapnel that I’d be able to use with the force to throw at my opponents, should they try and deflect it their saber would short circuit. My saber to me is the ultimate duelist weapon as each component would give me a advantageous edge in battle. My sole objective is to be the only one alive. My kyber Crystal itself is said to be the strongest in Jedi history Not only the saber itself but my Kaiburr crystal itself would amplify my force powers a thousand fold and grant me healing abilities making my physical abilities and force abilities that many times more powerful than my opponents

a legion cant be smaller than a battalion if anything its the other way around

Enjoyed this immensely. Love this. Beautiful work
Question i thought of myself: would the DSD (dwarf spider droid) be able to kill a flood juggernaut?
If you were a Jedi and fought in the Clone Wars, would you fight alongside one of the existing regiments like the 501st or lead your own legion?
My own
I would go with the 05 commando battalion because it consists of Arca Company, Omega Squad, Delta Squad and Veshok Squad
My own legion
Own
My own
Cant forget that commander appo was at the battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor. Also would love to see the different Clone Commandos video
Where did you find that information
I think you mean Captain Rex. Appo followed Order 66 and served under Vader. Unless you mean he was at those battles as a stormtrooper
@@gwhite20Rex was promoted to Commander and sent the Commander of the 332nd to Mandalore under Ahsoka. Rex later joined the Rebellion.
Great video it’s always awesome to see clones
Also I hate to be that guy 3:08 but it’s not The 327th Sky Corps but it’s The 327th Star Corps,
Also the 7th Sky Corps/212th in TCW always seemed to appear more of a Orangey Yellow or Yellowish Orange rather than full on Orange their colour sits somewhere between the 327th and the helmet piece of the 332nd (or full armour if you go by the novel version).
212th are my faves the seeing Orangish Yellow on the bois in TCW series alongside the bois in blue from the 501st series was always awesome.
before this all known core 5:14 law enforcement (poor guys)
7:07 ledgions 10:00 battalions
16:17 companys
Captain Keeli is my favorite clone, and Keeli regiment is my favorite
I know this is off topic, but I have to ask. What is the song that is used in this video?
4:50 “Sector is clear.” “NOT CLEAR, NOT CLEAR!!!”

Me too
My favorite type is gotta be 41st elite scouts
The galacitc marines were probably the most OP division
i really like the 332nd
Is there a color difference between the 327th corps and 13th battalion?
