"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[src]

A Clone Captain,[1] also known as clone trooper captain,[3] was a rank held by clone trooper officers in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army who commanded companies of 144 troopers,[1] although this limitation did not apply to every captain.[4] The sixteen captains of a regiment were in turn led by their respective Clone Commander,[1] or in some cases, a Jedi General.[5] Standard[1] Phase I[6] 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.[1]

CT-7567, also known by his nickname "Rex," was a respected[7] and notable Clone Captain[8] who served as the leader of the 501st Legion[4] and the legion's Torrent Company. He often took orders directly from Jedi General Anakin Skywalker,[5] and served as Skywalker's first in command.[9] Rex also had authority over Execute Battalion and Carnivore Battalion of the 501st Legion.[10]

In the final moments of the Clone Wars, Clone Captains[11] were ordered by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to betray and kill their Jedi Generals.[12]
