481st Legion

The 481st Legion was an Imperial legion that was dispatched to Ilum as part of Order 66 to secure the Jedi Temple there and eliminate any Jedi survivors. Once Emperor Palpatine had firm control of his Empire, the 481st Legion was rotated out and recalled to their home unit and replaced by a joint Army and Naval garrison and blockade. Eventually the forces on Ilum would be supplanted by inefficient equipment and unreliable officers despite Palpatine's insistence on Ilum's importance and the growing size of the garrison. The blockade would constantly see rotations of squadrons of varying sizes.
