Battle of Mimban/Legends

"You're listening to the Grand Army of the Republic broadcast, the voice of the Outer Rim. This next one goes out to the Mud-Jumpers of the 224th, slugging it out on Mimban. Keep your heads down and your seals tight, boys."

- Bettie-Bot VJ

This battle took place on the planet Mimban around 21 BBY during the Clone Wars. Two clone trooper units&mdash;the 224th and the 44th Special Operations Division&mdash;were dispatched to the planet. During the battle, Captain Sharp of the Devil Dogs, a sub-unit of the 44th Special Operations Division, was shot in the throat. The Mud-Jumpers of the 224th, while fighting on Mimban, received a shout-out from the host of a Republic HoloNet News channel broadcast.

The battle
Around 21 BBY, during the Clone Wars, two Galactic Republic clone trooper units&mdash;the 224th and the 44th Special Operations Division&mdash;were dispatched to the planet Mimban. During the battle, Captain Sharp of the Devil Dogs, a sub-unit of the 44th Special Operations Division, was injured when a blaster bolt hit his throat. The bolt distorted his voice, and he later told Jedi General Kit Fisto what had happened on Mimban during a battle on the planet Khorm.

The Mud-Jumpers of the 224th received a shout-out from Bettie-Bot VJ, the host of a Republic HoloNet News channel broadcast, during their fight on Mimban. Their shout-out was heard by a group of rookie clone troopers&mdash;Echo, Hevy, Fives, and Cutup&mdash;who were listening to the broadcast while patrolling a listening post on the moon of Rishi.

Behind the scenes
The battle was first mentioned in "Rookies," the fifth episode in the first season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. The mention of the battle was minimal, only revealing that the 224th and Mud-Jumpers were fighting for the Republic. In the comic Star Wars: The Clone Wars 7: In Service of the Republic, Part 1, the battle was further expanded and added another group of clone troopers&mdash;the 44th Special Operations Division and Devil Dogs. Though the mention was brief, it revealed that Captain Sharp led the 44th and Devil Dogs during the battle.
