- "As sure as it is my duty to remain loyal to your command, I also have another duty. To protect those men."
- ―Clone Captain Rex, to General Pong Krell and referring to the clone troopers under his command
A Clone Captain,[7] also known as clone trooper captain,[9] was a rank held by clone troopers in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army who commanded companies of 144 troopers. The sixteen captains of a regiment were in turn led by their respective Clone Commander,[7] or in some cases, a Jedi General.[10] Standard[7] Phase I[11] captains wore armor featuring four maroon circles on the left chestplate as well as a stripe of maroon down the length of each arm, vertically up the middle of the helmet and laterally around the visor.[7]
CT-7567, also known by his nickname "Rex," was a respected[12] and notable Clone Captain[13] who led Torrent Company of the famed 501st Legion. He often took orders directly from Jedi General Anakin Skywalker,[10] and served as Skywalker's first in command.[14] Rex also had authority over Execute Battalion and Carnivore Battalion of the 501st Legion.[15]
In the final moments of the Clone Wars, Clone Captains[3] were ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to betray and kill their Jedi Generals.[16]
