Overview
These skins are based on the appearance of the 501st Legion, a prominent Clone Trooper legion in the Grand Army of the Republic. The 501st Legion fell under the ultimate command of Jedi Knight and General Anakin Skywalker. Along with Skywalker for most of the Clone Wars was his Padawan, Commander. The 501st Legion was also led by Clone and later Clone. The 501st Legion participated in many prominent battles during the Clone Wars and is depicted in both The Clone Wars TV series and Revenge of the Sith, where, in the latter, they march on the Jedi Temple under Darth Vader and Appo's command as part of Order 66, earning them the nickname "Vader's Fist."
