27th Ground Corps

The 27th Ground Corps was one of the topmost unit in the Great Clone Forces that began service since the middle of the first year into the Second Clone Wars. Led by clone marshal commander CC-1401, nicknamed "Stoned", the corps was initially comprised of a standard number of 36, 864 clone troopers.

When the Galactic Republic began launching the exclusive Outer Rim campaign, the 27th was assigned with the capturing of the Marithmar system. They were deployed in the form of a fleet through the secret Filan Route as a shortcut towards their target. Unfortunately, they entered a nearly unescapable asteroid field by accident, which damaged their flagship, the Oblivion, and causing it to crash onto Randon. Upon discovering a small town, the clones were attacked by its hostile residents.
