Clone trooper captain
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
During the Clone Wars, the clone trooper captain was a specialized clone trooper breed which was bred on Kamino as officers and special mission operatives.
Recognized by the red markings on their helmets and torso armor, clone trooper captains were assigned to leading companies of 144 regular clone troopers. They were equipped with a DC-15 blaster rifle and a line of thermal detonators. Trained in both squad- and company-level tactics, as well as to handle the 74-Z speeder bike, clone trooper captains were diverse leaders.
They first appeared during the Battle of Geonosis where they used their speeder bikes to round up and destroy the huge and clumsy Confederacy OG-9 homing spider droids by throwing pulse grenades as they raced across the battlefield.
