10 Clone Trooper Units That Were Completely Destroyed

[Music] my friends welcome back to another episode of generation tech my name is Alan when a soldier dies their family friends and community mourn them but what happens to a clone trooper when they die born in a test-tube without any real interaction with the outside world they were bred to serve on the battlefield and eventually die on it clones were first perceived by the public as almost organic droids programmed to be obedient and satisfied with whatever the jay-ar provided them but as the war went on it became apparent than each individual clone had their own personalities interests and dreams and so in hindsight the use of the clone army was perhaps one of the most immoral things the Galactic Republic government sanctioned so in honor of all these brave clones who gave their lives through their republic today we're gonna be taking a look at ten clone units that were completely wiped out and probably never recognised for their sacrifices the Devron massacre was probably one of the more shocking events in the Clone Wars primarily because it involved the gruesome death of a Jedi named Halsey and his apprentice Knox no one really pays attention when just a clone unit gets wiped out it's not that big of a deal happens all the time Halsey and Knox have been sent to the temple on Devron to backup a unit of arc troopers who were defending the planet from a separatist attack arf troopers or advanced recon force troopers were a highly mobile unit two clones that were trained in scouting reconnaissance and survival they rode a light aid TRT walkers around for transportation and were considered a pretty elite unit unfortunately neither the arc troopers or the Jedi could stand a chance against Count Dooku's new enforcer Savage Opress survives leads a separate attack against the Republic garrison on Devron and the Jedi in arc troopers were completely wiped out the Jedi actually end up sending a clone commando team to investigate who carried out this terrible attack clunky windows are a pretty big deal so I doubt they would have sent those guys if it were just a normal clone massacre sans Jedi the 13th battalion also known as the iron battalion was one of the premier ground units in the Republic military they had been placed under the command of Jedi general djaro T'Pol and his Padawan calque Estes and they played a great part in the Republic victory on the planet of Morocco the 13th battalion was stationed on the venator class Star Destroyer named albedo brave when order 66 was carried out general jerub-baal apparently had been a part of the Jedi coup and refused the surrender of the clones he sabotage the ship's main reactor causing the ship to explode killing the majority of the unit's along with the clone crew on board for your reference I vendor client Star Destroyer had a crew of over 7400 people mainly clones and they usually also had anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand Clone Trooper stationed on board as well certain theaters of the war were certainly worse than others the planet Felucia was definitely a place he wanted to avoid the entire planet was covered in a strange and very humid fungal force full of all sorts of odd wildlife and all of this flora and fauna on this planet were more than a little bit hostile against foreign invaders Felucia became an early battleground during the Clone Wars because of its important location on the Pearl amine trade rack which led directly its a chorus on Felucia also was home to a rare plant known as nice Cillian nice Lilian had amazing healing properties making it one of the most valuable herbs to be farmed in the galaxy because the planet was so remote and located so close to the Confederate capital Raxus Felucia joined the separatists pretty early on in the war Rubick tried to take Volusia several times throughout the war without much success in the last year the Clone Wars that 180 second legion was tasked with seizing the planet of Felucia they successfully landed on the plant but surely after all Communications was lost with the Legion that's a total of 10,000 troopers just disappearing into the jungle the 500 first legion was eventually sent to figure out what happened they only found traces of the hundred 82nd Legion and surmised that a combination of very dangerous local wildlife and flesh-eating bacteria and separate forces basically wiped out the entire force had this legion been made of nun clones I'm sure the ramifications would have been a lot larger and possibly changed the course of the entire war but because there are clones again no one cared the patrons called the outer rim moon of pantora their home despite their remote location in the galaxy they were actively involved in Republic politics with systems all around them falling to the separatist alliance cause the pan torrents requested that the Republic establish a military base within their own system the moon of pantora revolved around a much larger planet in its orto Plutonia orto Plutonia had plenty of space for development but was frozen in devoid of life or so they thought it was essentially a perfect place for a military outpost the location was close enough to pantora to protect it but not close enough where it would disrupt the everyday lives of pantora citizens now what the patrons in the republic didn't know was that orto Plutonia was actually home to a savage species known as the tall's and to make matters even worse the separatists have recently set up a secret observation post of their own on orto Plutonia and hunt riled up the local tall's into a frenzy this eventually led the tall's to wiping out the entire garrison on the ortho plutonium republic base the tall's didn't really have range weapons or blasters so I assume they just ripped all the clones apart limb by limb clothes are supposed to feel at home on a bender class Star Destroyer and that's because after leaving kameena it was probably the only familiar place they had as they continuously traveled around the galaxy but a seasoned ground pounder knew better than to trust the eerie calm of space whenever a ship exited hyperspace the reality was a trooper only had a few inches of Durasteel separating them from the cold hard embrace a vacuum and as the 13th battalion found out it only takes one saboteur to take out the reactor to end everyone's life on board Green company led by commander gree was a part of the 41st elite corps they've been tasked with arresting and transporting Trade Federation viceroy nute Gunray back to Coruscant on the Venator class Star Destroyer known as tranquility enroute they were ambushed by a separatist rescue team led by citizen Asajj Ventris green company puts up a heroic defense of the ship but there are no match for super battle droids and the cramped confines of a Star Destroyer the separatists just had too much armor and firepower at the same time the leader of the Republic Senate commandos on board betrays the clones and tries to escape with nute Gunray it's kind of ironic that an elite non Clone Special Forces soldier betrays the Republic before a clone who essentially is a slip the world of her own call makes Felucia seem like a tropical paradise rife with medical tourism opportunities and that's because going to her on call was more dangerous than trying to ride a rancor in heat despite being a terrestrial planet her own call had two different atmospheres the entire floor of the planet was covered in a toxic cloud which sustained a very vicious ecosystem full of force-sensitive predators metal-eating bacteria and fungi and giant swarms of vicious parasitic insects her incall also made mace windu it was his home worlds but to be honest not even mace windu felt comfortable there and so when his apprentice deep billaba was sent there with a battalion of clones he definitely had his concerns you see nothing lasts long in the jungles of her own call especially if it wasn't first made their pork an x-wing in the jungle and returned a week later and you'll be lucky to find the airframe intact the same thing goes with pretty much anything the clones brought with them there including their armor weapons vehicles and flush the locals then even used blasters on her own call they relied on primitives slug throwers which they still had a cover in thick amber to preserve from all the corrosive plants in the area if that weren't bad enough deepa bill buzz Batali had to face the Kulish cyborg general grievous he definitely was one of the more cunning leaders within the separatist alliance deepest battalion ends up suffering a 90% casualty rate the Jedi Master was also severely wounded and fell into a coma for six months and suffered from severe mental and emotional issues afterwards it's never a good idea to bring a child onto the battlefield but it's an even worse idea to let that child bleed your forces into battle during the initial battle of Ryloth our Republic fleet attempted to break the separatist blockade over the planets Anakin Skywalker put his apprentice fourteen-year-old Padawan ahsoka tano in charge of her first command a wingless star fighters that will probe the separates position ahsoka is a skilled pilot but perhaps too eager instead of just scouting the enemy position she's determined to destroy the enemy capital ship but the cyprus commander had laid to track yet several frigates waiting in reserve and as ahsoka approaches his blockade you brought reinforcements out of hyperspace Anakin Skywalker and Admiral wolf girl run immediately call a so can return and defend the now vulnerable and outnumbered Republic fleets but instead of listening she presses on with her attack losing several of her fighter pilots by the time she realizes her mistake it's too late she loses every fighter in her wing and now the Republic fleet is also on fire because they had no fighters that scream them from enemy attacks and how is this young Jedi rewarded for not obeying her commanders direct orders well she's actually given command of the entire Republic attack fleet any wonder why some clones enjoyed blasting their Jedi commanders in the back during order 66 if our two previous stories about how helpless a clone trooper feels on a star destroy didn't register with you this one definitely will the triumphant once a banner class started to air under the command of Jedi Master platoon and clone commander Wolffe in the early days of the war entire Republic fleets and convoys were just disappearing deep in space no one knew what was going on platoon and his crew were on high alert and patrolling in the abregado system looking for any clues about what was causing this it turned out the separatists had constructed a massive subjugator class heavy cruiser called the malevolence this crazy ship featured an ion cannon that could disable an entire fleet of ships all at once the triumphant makes contact with the malevolence but before the republic ship can even get within firing range its engines and systems are knocked out by the malevolence his main weapon with the triumphant floating dead in space the malevolence opens fire with its heavy turbo lasers and completely destroys the Star Destroyer although several capons make it off the ship intact only commander Wolffe cloak hoon and two other clones survived this is because the separates actually sent a droids to hunt down this gate pints remaining in the debris field in the last year the Clone Wars the Republic was intense negotiations with the intergalactic banking clients Palpatine's government was in desperate need of more funding for their growing Grand Army of the Republic commander thorne and a group of shock troopers have been assigned as senator Padme Amidala as diplomatic escort on a mission to the planet of skippy oh where it talks with the intergalactic banking clans would be helped unbeknownst to them Count Dooku was carrying out similar talks with the banks although he was far less diplomatic with his strategy and so while the small force of clone Shock Troopers guarded Padme shuttle as she negotiated the banks Dooku was sending an entire invasion fleet towards the planet commander Thorne like any clone took his job very seriously but he and his men were completely unprepared by what happened next several droid bombers immediately strafe the landing pad they were stationed on destroying the Senators cruiser and their clone dropship this was followed by several separatist drop ships filled with b2 super battle droids Android commandos Thorne's men who were standing exposed in the middle of the landing pad didn't stand a chance and were massacred during the First Battle of Geonosis Jedi commanders were completely unprepared for war they didn't really understand how to utilize the clones that were gonna be following them into battle one unit in particular was completely misused the Clone commandos clone commanders function in small four-man teams they were heavily armored heavily arms and carried backpacks full of backup equipment they were designed to function independently from the main army behind enemy lines raiding important installations the clone commanders were not designed to be marched across open battlefields and mass wave attacks well actually neither was the rank-and-file clone during the BAL Geonosis the clone commander suffered almost 50% casualties completely destroying the unit's effectiveness for the entire war and for a clone commando the loss of one team member was a really big deal unlike normal clones clone commandos were raised from birth within a pot of four they developed an even closer bond with pod then a clone would with other clone troopers after the disastrous events of Geonosis the surviving Clone commandos were placed into units of other survivors Omega squad was one of these units and featured four individual clones who had all been lone survivors ten different battles in which clone units were completely wiped out and those are only the incidents that we know of I'm sure there's a much longer list out there and it just goes to show you when you have no connection with the wider world you become very very disposable well
