Planetary Recon Squad

The Planetary Recon Squad, or the PRS, as they are mostly called, were a group of highly trained clone troopers, who served during the Clone Wars. It existed out of 55 very well trained spec. ops clone troopers, who were always the first ones being sent in to planets that weren't under control of the Republic or the CIS.

A great amount of the PRS's missions went smooth, as in that the local inhabitants eagerly joined the Republic's cause. But there were also very dangerous missions. One of the most known actions of the PRS is the attack on the planet of Myndross. The planet's locals rejected the Republic's offers and turned to the side of the CIS. Now being an enemy of the Republic, Myndross was chosen for attack by the Republic. Since the PRS were the only clone troopers in the system, they had to get the job done.

The PRS had only one Star Destroyer, the Carindion, and a few dozen of fighter planes. If they wanted to defeat the Myndrossians, they had only 2 options: Wait for reinforcements, which would take many weeks and in that time it was likely the CIS would have already made the planet into a giant fortress, or, they could come up with a genious strategy to take one the most well-defended planets in the galaxy. They chose the 2nd option.
