Clone Troopers Clone War 501st Vaders Fist


From a 3 pack builder... I repainted with Blue 501st markings.

The Clone Wars 0The 501st Legion, like all Clone Trooper Legions, was created on Kamino; cloned from the genetic samples provided by famed bounty hunter Jango Fett and bred to serve as part of the Grand Army of the Republic.

They served in the first actions of the Clone War, and assisted in the assault on the Jedi Temple. They appeared identical to the 1.25 million clone units created by the Kaminoans. However, the actions of the 501st, as well as the 65th Homeworld Security Shocktrooper Legion under the command of Thire, during the Battle of Geonosis became the center of special interest from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
