43rd Battalion

The 43rd Battalion, known as the "Killer Aiwhas", was a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic.

The 43rd was deployed to Jabiim in 20.8 BBY to aid in Republic action there. During a Republic raid on three Separatist facilities, the 43rd were tasked with guarding Shelter Base. While the three Republic forces launched their attacks, an informed Separatist counterstrike hit Shelter Base and wiped out the 43rd and its contigent of Jedi Knight leaders.
