43rd Battalion

The 43rd Batallion was a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Known as the "Killer Aiwhas", the 43rd was deployed to Jabiim to aid in the battle 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.
