97th Legion

The 97th Legion was a military legion of the Grand Army of the Republic, a clone army engineered to serve the Galactic Republic. Led by Jedi General Pong Krell, the 97th fought against the droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems throughout the Clone Wars. At Balith, the native population exclusively used slugthrowers. To counter this the legion adopted ballistic vests, much to the disapproval of General Krell.
