Lightning Squadron/Legends

Lightning Squadron was a unit within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Under the command of General Mace Windu and Commander Ponds, it participated in the Battle of Ryloth. It consisted of ARF Troopers specially trained to operate AT-RTs, which greatly helped in the liberation of Ryloth from Emir Tambor. Lightning Squadron was a division of Windu's force during the offensive to free Ryloth's capital. Windu led his force to the capital via a cliffside path. This was a risky decision that did not escape the notice of the Separatist defenders. In an attempt to neutralize the Republic forces before they became a strategic threat, the CIS sent a tank division that were to box the walkers in by disabling the leading and rear-most units before destroying the entire group.

As the Republic force fell under heavy fire, Mace Windu ordered the deployment of Lightning Squadron's AT-RTs. Mace Windu led Lightning squadron in a charge that completely routed the Seperatist tanks, freeing the rest of the walker division to advance to their objective. They later took part in the storming of the capital city alongside with Syndulla's freedom fighters.

Razor and Stak are two particularly notable members. The pair served as Windu's companions for much of the campaign, accompanying him during his dealings with Syndulla's freedom fighters. Later, he took them along during his attempted infiltration of the plasma bridge control center in a Seperatist convey, which was spoiled by CIS inspector droids. The Separatist droids tried to drop Windu, Razor and Stak into the canyon below, but with Windu's force powers, they crossed safely.

Windu held off the Seperatist defenders so the pair of ARFs could storm the plasma bridge control center, which enabled the liberation force to enter the city.
