9th Assault Corps

The 9th Assault Corps was a Grand Army of the Republic division.

History
The division was under the command of Jedi General Luminara Unduli. It included the 41st Elite, a legion under the command of Senior Clone Commander Gree. This unit is renowned for their overwhelming firepower and offensive tactics. The troopers fought many battles, including escorting Nute Gunray to Coruscant. After Senator Padme' Amidala and Representative Jar Jar Binks captured the Viceroy, the 9th Assault corps took him on board a Venator-class Stardestroyer, the Tranquility. Senate Commando Captain Argyus and his five commandos came to help escort Nute Gunray to Coruscant. But during the time on the ship, three Droch-class boarding ships split into the main hangar, dropping specialized B2 battle droids with advanced armor and rocket launchers invaded the ship. Jedi General Luminara Unduli and Anakin Skywalker's padawan. Ahsoka Tano cut the droids when they learned that Assaj Ventress had boarded the ship. Luminara fought Assaj into the power core, where Ventress destroyed th power cores and crippled the ship. Up above, Captain Argyus reveals he is a commando being paid by the Separatists to rescue Nute Gunray. Ahsoka gets put into a prison cell while Gree faces Argyus. The battle ends when Nute Gunray whacks Gree on the head with a DC-15 blaster. Gunray and Argyus run to the hangar and with the help of Ventress, escape on a Republic frigate. On board the frigate, Ventress kills Argyus. The Jedi nearest Unduli and Tano was Kit Fisto. Fisto said that a Republic ship could be tracked, and Gree vows to hunt down Gunray and kill him. On Kashyyyk Gree assisted High Jedi Master Yoda with the 41st Elite Corps to hold off the Separatist invasion. Without the help of Delta Squad, reinforcements for Gree nevercould have arrived. Eventually, when Order 66 is ordered, Gree ordered his men to kill Unduli while he assassinated Master Yoda. Commander Gree eventually died when Order 66 was issued, for Yoda proved much harder to kill than Master Unduli.
