A corps was a large infantry unit. In the Galactic Republic's Grand Army, a corps consisted of 36,864 clone troopers and was led by a Jedi General. Each corps was divided into sixteen smaller divisions known as regiments, each led by a clone commander. During the First Battle of Geonosis, the Republic deployed eight corps of troopers to the planet.[1]
The word "corps" also applied to naval units, such as the Resistance Starfighter Corps of the Resistance navy.[2]
