212th Attack Battalion/Legends



The 212th Attack Battalion was a unit of clone troopers and clone commandos under the leadership of Commander Cody. Troops of the 212th Attack Battalion were distinguished by the orange markings on their armour. The 212th Battalion sometimes worked in conjuction with a second battalion. It was attached to the Third Army.

History
Though commanded by Cody, the 212th Attack Battalion was also led by General Obi-Wan Kenobi, who developed a friendship with the battalion commander during the Clone Wars. On Cato Neimoidia, General Kenobi, Commander Cody, and the elite Squad Seven breached Viceroy Nute Gunray's fortress and secured vital data that began the hunt for Darth Sidious.

When General Kenobi was tasked with tracking down and eliminating the Separatist Supreme Commander, General Grievous, he took two battalions with him to the Utapau system&mdash;one of which was Cody's unit. Cody's commandos stormed Grievous' stronghold on the tenth level of Pau City, and kept his droid forces at bay while Kenobi faced the General himself in single combat. Although Obi-Wan defeated Grievous, matters took a turn for the worse when Darth Sidious transmitted Order 66 to his clone commanders. The 212th Attack Battalion opened fire on their General, sending him plummeting to his apparent death. The clones went on to destroy the remaining battle droid forces on Utapau, and, as per the new Emperor's orders, subjugated the planet.
