Parjai Squad
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Parjai Squad was a unit of clone paratroopers in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars under the command of Sergeant Barlex.
The squad was part of the 2nd Airborne Company, itself a unit of the 212th Attack Battalion of the 7th Sky Corps, led by Clone Marshal Commander Cody and High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Parjai Squad participated in the Battle of Utapau and later aided in the subjugation of Utapau following the transmission of Order 66. The clone troopers of Parjai Squad wore specialized armor and helmets that allowed for high altitude drops.
The squad's name, parjai, meant "victory" in Mando'a.
