Droid attack flare

A droid attack flare or an alert flare was a warning illumination device used by the forces of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

Firing a droid attack flare indicated that battle droids&mdash;of the Separatist Droid Army&mdash;had infiltrated or attacked Republic forces or territory.

During the Clone Wars, the surviving clone troopers of a Separatist attack&mdash;Echo, Fives, and Hevy&mdash;fired a droid attack flare to warn the Clone Commander Cody and Clone Captain CT-7567 of the Separatists' infiltration.
