73rd Shadow Battalion

The 73rd Shadow Battalion was a battalion of shadow troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic.

Led by Clone Commander Shadow-7 and Jedi General Darius Chranell, it would fight in Republic victories such as the Battle of Neimoidia. It was based on Quasar Flame of the Republic Seventh Fleet.

After receiving Order 66 from Palpatine in 19 BBY, Shadow-7 and his men chose not to execute it. Instead, they fled to Had Abbadon with Chranell, Quasar Flame, and a good-sized portion of the Seventh Fleet. However, they would be betrayed by Captain Jack Nebulax, who alerted a group of stormtroopers on their location. In the end, the 73rd was wiped out to the last men, including Chranell, by the Imperial forces.
