284th Magma Battalion

The 284th Magma Battalion was made up of Clone Magma troopers in the Clone Wars and later Imperial Radtroopers in the Empire. They fought only a few battles on volcanic planets.

History
They were formed around the time of the Battle of Geonosis. There were about 8,000 of them in all, but they were so elite that they hardly ever lost any men. They were a little better then ARC troopers and so they were highly demanded on worlds that were not even volcanic.

After the Battle of Geonosis, they fought in the Battle of Mustafar, killing half of the droid forces on the planet and destroying many key factories on the planet. They were also helped by the 484th Magma Sky Birgade, another battalion of Clone Magma troopers. Also there were some other divisions and legions of clones with them such as Shocktroopers.

A new Enemy
After the Clone Wars, they fought on Rebels on volcanic planets, dismantling the Rebel Fleet and completely wiping out the troops on the ground. The Rebels were astonished and tried to never attack volcanic planets again.

As many years and the Galactic Civil War went by, the Battalion got no transmissions to there outposts from the Empire. When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Mustafar, the Battalion slaughtered them all. After that, they became part of the Imperial Remnant.
