30th Battalion

"The thirtieth expects the best."

- Trigg

The 30th Battalion was an elite military division of the Grand Army of the Republic. Led by Jedi General Verun Darr and his subordinate Clone Commander Trigg, the 30th fought against the Confederacy of Independent Systems throughout the Clone Wars. Shortly after the start of the war, the 30th was deployed to numerous worlds across the Inner Rim and took part in the Liberation of Poluros.

The Clone Wars
The 30th Battalion was composed of clone troopers that had been engineered to serve as the fighting force of the Galactic Republic. It had many sub-units such as Havoc Platoon, which served closely with Clone Commander CC-1322 ("Trigg"). Following a Republic victory after the Battle of Geonosis, the 30th was deployed to the front lines in the newly-formed Grand Army of the Republic. In this time period Trigg trained his men in the likeness to the ARC program, making them a highly effective fighting force

Early engagements
After the Jedi were chosen to lead the clone troopers into battles across the galaxy, the 30th was placed under the command of Jedi Master Verun Dar. During the Battle of Poluros, Darr's apprentice Zay Arlenn joined as a Jedi commander and led Havoc Platoon in retaking the planet.
