- "These Cadets are far from ready."
- ―Shaak Ti to Bric
Domino Squad was a clone trooper cadet squad of the Galactic Republic on Kamino during the Clone Wars. After its members passed their test, the Citadel Challenge, members of the Domino squad were transferred to an outpost in the Rishi maze, where they were attacked by commando droids. The clones were able to alert Galactic Republic forces, and the intruders were repelled.

Description
Edit
- "Check it out, boys. Time to watch the Dominoes fall."
- ―Member of Bravo Squad
All of the members were clones of Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, born on the planet Kamino to fight in the Grand Army of the Republic. Around 21 BBY, during the Clone Wars, the members of Domino Squad were fighting in their last practice tests, under the command of Siniteen Sergeant Bric and El-Les. In the beginning the members of Domino Squad could not function as a team which cost them the chance of becoming ARC troopers, when Commander Colt came to select potential ARC trooper Candidates. After failing they were granted a retest by the General in charge of training, Jedi Master Shaak Ti, and despite the bounty hunter Bric stealing the clones ascension cables during their retest they were able to work together as a team and pass their final test, the Citadel Challenge. Before the training battle, CT-782 "Hevy" was going to go AWOL, but was talked out of it by 99.
After Kamino
Edit
After becoming battle-ready clone troopers, the clones of the former Domino Squad were sent to Rishi Station, which was located on the moon of Rishi, where an attack there took the lives of Hevy, Droidbait and Cutup, leaving only Echo and Fives. Several months after the destruction of the Rishi Station, Echo and Fives became ARC troopers after showing courage and skill during a Confederate invasion of Kamino. However, during the rescue of Jedi Master Even Piell, who was held captive in a Confederate prison, their escape became complicated after alerting the prison's warden Osi Sobeck. After a commando droid commandeered a plasma turret and began opening fire on the group, Echo valiantly drew its fire away from Fives in an attempt to prevent the turret from destroying their escape craft; however, this attempt was in vain, as the turret successfully destroyed the shuttle in a fiery explosion, killing Echo in the process. This event left Fives to be the only surviving member of Domino Squad. Fives then continued to participate in the battle of Umbara under temporary general Pong Krell, and aided in exposing his true intentions.
