Republic Hero Roster

The Republic Hero Roster was one of four rosters of legendary heroes in the galaxy. It described each listed person and what made him/her a hero of the Republic. Here are some abbreviated excerpts about each hero in the book.

Jedi

 * The most legendary Jedi hero of the Republic is almost inargueably Anakin Skywalker. He was a great warrior, and an adept soldier, and was the leader of the 501st Legion of clone troopers, which he led to countless victories in the Clone Wars. They called him "The Hero With No Fear". He also saved many lives, and seemed to care more about the lives of others than many other Jedi.


 * General Kenobi, "The Negotiator", was a great Jedi General. He fought and won many battles, too, but his primary trait was his desire to end things nonviolently as often as possible. He was often partnered with General Skywalker, and the public approved of them very much.


 * The feisty Padawan of Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, is remembered for her passionate desire to prove herself as a person. Many of Skywalker's traits must have rubbed off on her, because she, too, believed in saving lives rather than letting them go.


 * General Mundi was a courageous warrior, and a fine military leader. His troops respected him, and they won many battles for the Republic. He was also a Jedi Council member, and thus was highly placed in the Jedi Order.


 * Koon was a strong leader who cared greatly for his troops in the Wolfpack. He was another Jedi Council member, too.


 * This Council member was also an advisor to the Supreme Chancellor, giving good advice to him, not that Chancellor Palpatine cared. He was plotting against her and the rest of the Jedi.


 * General Fisto was a unique warrior. He could sense the emotions of others, and being amphibious, he could also fight underwater and lead clone scuba troopers.


 * Besides being an advisor to the Jedi Council, Luminara Unduli was a very disciplined Jedi. She demanded the same discipline from her Padawan Barriss Offee, and from her troops, the 41st Elite Corps, bringing a sense of discipline to the Grand Army.


 * A gentlewoman, Barriss Offee's heroic stance came not from leading troops, but from her healing abilities. She cared greatly about the suffering of others, and wanted to save their lives and help them feel better, if not as passionately as Ahsoka (her best friend) and Anakin.


 * Next to General Skywalker, General Secura was the second greatest soldier and military leader in the last years of the Jedi Order. She cared for the troops under her command, and was a good friend of her commander, Bly.

Clones

 * Clone commanders: The clone commanders were trained to be independent individuals, which made them gain distinct personalities and traits, and earned them very personal names. Each of them contributed something creative to the Grand Army.
 * Cody was a very loyal, cautious, but brave trooper.
 * Rex was reckless, daring, and idealistic, and sometimes believed in questioning orders.
 * Gree was very interested in alien species and their cultures, and used his knowledge to form military strategies and forge alliances with local populations.
 * Bly put all of his focus on completing his missions to the letter.
 * Bacara demanded the best from his men, but always put their needs ahead of his own.
 * Appo was always ready to relay or obey his superior's orders.
 * Deviss committed many heroic acts throughout the Clone Wars, like saving some of his men at the Battle of Geonosis, and rallying his troops at the Battle of Altyr V.
 * Levet liberated Qiilura and many other worlds from troublemakers.
 * Ponds helped many poor villages and cities recover from the ravages of war.
 * Salvo believed in pure patriotism, the kind where he only lived to serve others.
 * Republic commandos: These large, strong soldiers brought a sense of teamwork to the clone army. Three commando squads and their members stood out as heroes of the Republic more than any other commandos.
