The battleEdit

In 22 BBY,^[5] during the Clone Wars, two Galactic Republic clone trooper units—the 224th^[2] and the 44th Special Operations Division—were dispatched to the planet Mimban. During the battle, Captain Sharp of the Devil Dogs, a sub-unit of the 44th Special Operations Division, was injured when a blaster bolt hit his throat. The bolt distorted his voice, and he later told Jedi General Kit Fisto what had happened on Mimban during a battle on the planet Khorm.^[7]

The Mud-Jumpers of the 224th received a shout-out from^[2] Bettie-Bot VJ,^[8] the host of a Republic HoloNet News channel broadcast, during their fight on Mimban. Their shout-out was heard by a group of rookie clone troopers—Echo, Hevy, Fives, and Cutup—who were listening to the broadcast while patrolling a listening post on the moon of Rishi.^[2]
