[edit] Role
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.
[edit] History
They first appeared during the Battle of Geonosis. The officers commanded at Forward Command Centers and position of great visual range. A handful of captains used speeder bikes to destroy the huge and clumsy Confederacy OG-9 homing spider droids, throwing pulse grenades as they raced across the battlefield. Also, a branch of jet trooper, aerial clone trooper captains participated in many prominent battles, such as Mace Windu's defense of Dantooine. A notable clone captain was Rex who fought in the front lines with the grit of an Advanced Recon Commando. He participated in many campaigns.
