Matchbox Company

Matchbox Company was a clone special forces unit that fought in the Clone Wars on Geonosis, Felucia, and Kashyyyk and was attached to the 501st Legion. It later became among the first generation of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps' special forces.

It was commanded by clone captain RC-6289-76, also known as "Captain Junker", who was a clone commando. Matchbox Company earned its name after many of its members were involved in an incident prior to the war where a Mandalorian instructor smuggled tobacco to Kamino and distributed it to the clones, who were forbidden from ingesting any psychoactive while on Kamino; during the incident, hundreds of matchboxes - presumably to ignite cigarettes - were uncovered in this company's barrack during an inspection.

Composition
The company was comprised primarily of standard clone troopers that were equipped in regular armor and wielded DC-15 blaster carbines and rifles. They were supported by TX-130 fighter tanks, AT-RT walkers, and BARC speeders.

A platoon of clone commandos, all veterans of the First Battle of Geonosis, were attached to Matchbox Company. Like all other soldiers of their specialization, these commandos were equipped with Katarn-class armor, repulsor gauntlets, and DC-17m repeating blasters
