41st Stormtrooper Legion



The 41st Elite Legion was a specialized division of the elite clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic, composed of many variants of clone troopers (including AT-RT drivers and clone scout troopers). Their legion color was gray.

Led by Clone Marshal Commander Gree, the 41st was stationed on a number of exotic worlds with indigenous species during the Clone Wars. The 41st was a legion out of the 9th Assault Corps, under command of Senior Jedi General Luminara Unduli and Commander Gree. They specialized in missions on planets with difficult climates, and were well suited for them. They forged alliances with the indigenous species of the planet they were on, and seeing so many alien species, Gree became an expert on species and customs. They maintained a large armory with gray-marked Phase II and camouflaged scout armor. They used AT-RTs and Juggernauts to great effect, for recon and battles such as the Battle of Kashyyyk.

A year into the war, Gree and the 41st participated in the Battle of Dinlo, where they became pinned down by a large number of droid forces. Jedi Commander Tur-Mukan led a mission to evacuate the legion from Dinlo. The 41st were then granted shore leave on Coruscant, partly as cover for Kal Skirata's black ops missions, and partly as a morale booster.



Two years later, the 41st saw heavy action in the Battle of Kashyyyk against the droid invasion force sent to seize the world. There, the clone troopers of the 41st fought alongside Wookiee warriors and a small clique of Jedi to a near standstill against the Confederacy.

Whilst most of their men were transferred to Kashyyyk, a detachment of the 41st was sent to assist in the Battle of Utapau, perhaps to smoothen relationships with the native Pau'ans.

However, when Palpatine initated Order 66, Commander Gree and his soldiers promptly turned on the Jedi, killing Luminara Unduli. Master Yoda, however, killed Gree and managed to escape with the help of Chewbacca and Tarfful. On Utapau, the 41st assisted in interning several Pau'ans for reasons unknown.

It is likely that following the execution of the Order 66, the 41st completed its operations against the remaining droid forces, and then pulled out of the Kashyyyk theatre.
