42nd Assault Corps

"They are enemies of the Empire, and thus enemies of justice. Forty-second, you have your orders."

- SC-1986 on the Knights of the Crescent Moon

The 42nd Assault Corps was a division of the stormtrooper corps in the Galactic Empire.

The 42nd Corps was originally formed during the Clone Wars, where it was comprised of Republic clone troopers. It was assigned to many worlds, including Bassadro, Mirgoshir and Uyrer, and was stationed on Arcopola with Jedi General Velus Trinn when Order 66 was transmitted. Trinn was executed without hesitation, and the 42nd Corps successfully subjugated the planet in the name of the newly-proclaimed Emperor.

With the formation of the Empire, the 42nd Assault Corps became one of the many units designated as "Jedi Hunters". They were tasked with the eradication of Jedi fugitives and traitors, and were dispatched across the Galaxy. A protracted campaign against outcasts in the Ragmar system earned the 42nd Corps the nickname "Justice" Corps, thanks to its stormtroopers' unflinching and brutal devotion to duty.

As of 17 BBY, the 42nd "Justice" Corps was stationed on Sonos, operating out of a garrison in the capital, Mior Major.
