Pauldron/Legends



Shoulder pauldrons were colored pieces of material worn by infantry of the Grand Army of the Republic, and later the Imperial Armed Forces, to designate their rank. Shoulder pauldrons were usually worn on the right shoulder by sandtroopers and the left shoulder by ARC Troopers. Clone trooper commanders would occasionally don a pauldron as a sign of rank, and would allow ranking clone officers to wear them if they earned it in the line of duty. Many of, if not most, Clone Marshal Commanders would wear a pauldron both as a sign of rank but also denoting their ARC training.

Sandtrooper pauldron ranks were as follows:


 * Black - Enlisted
 * White - Sergeant
 * Orange - Squad Leader
 * Blue - Sniper
 * Grey - Bombardier
 * Red - Medic
 * Yellow - Rifleman

Clone pauldron ranks were as follows:


 * Black - Bombardier
 * Orange - Squad Leader
 * Blue - Sniper
 * Red - Commando
 * Yellow - Pilot
