"This next one goes out to the Mud-Jumpers of the 224th, slugging it out on Mimban. Keep your heads down and your seals tight, boys."
―The host of the Grand Army of the Republic broadcast — Gnome-speakernotesListen (file info)[src]

The 224th was a unit of clone troopers that served in the Grand Army of the Republic at the beginning of the Clone Wars. Among their ranks was a squad of troopers known as the Mud-Jumpers. Around 21 BBY, the 224th was involved in a battle on planet Mimban alongside the 44th Special Operations Division and its Devil Dogs squad.

HistoryEdit

Around the year 21 BBY,[2] during the onset of the Clone Wars, the 224th was deployed to the planet Mimban to fight for the Galactic Republic.[1] They fought alongside the 44th Special Operations Division, another unit of the Republic's clone trooper army, and its squad of Devil Dogs.[3] During the battle, the Mud-Jumpers of the 224th received a shout-out from the robotic host of a musical program on the Grand Army of the Republic broadcast HoloNet channel. The shout-out, dedicating the following song to the group, was heard by other clone troopers[1]—"Echo," "Hevy," "Fives,"[4] "Nub," "Droidbait,"[5] and "Cutup"—stationed at a listening post on the moon of planet Rishi.[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

The 224th was first mentioned in "Rookies", the fifth episode of the first season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. The battle they took part in on Mimban was later mentioned in the seventh issue of the show's associated comic book serial, Part 1 of the In Service to the Republic arc.
