78th Stealth Company

The 78th Stealth Company were a Clone Company in the 78th Elite Corps. They specialized mainly in stealth and infiltration missions, although they were skilled in close quarters combat. They were led by Captain Bolt, although Marshall Commander Nightshade and Jedi General Tee Roy focused much of their attention on the company, usually prioritizing them most, even over the rest of the corps.

History
The Company was originally deployed on Geonosis, although at that point they did not serve under Nightshade or Bolt, and were led by Marshall Commander Boomerang. Bolt and Nightshade were originally believed to be defective, but proved themselves worthy.

When Kamino was attacked, a small squad of five cadets (Joseph, Falcon, Blaze, Spike and Stripe) decided to try and defend Kamino. they were succesfull, killing multiple squads of droids, and were all accepted into the legion. Shortly afterwords, the squad, along with commander Boomerang, were sent to tatooine to destroy a battle droid base. They set up a camp, and boomerang broke from the group. He then contacted Seperatist captain Tebner, and it was revealed he was a traitor. Stripe noticed and confronted him, but Boomerang shot first and ended Stripes life, informing the others that stripe was in fact a traitor (although he obviously wasn't). Commander Boomerang and Spike were also killed on that mission, although the base was successfully destroyed. Some time later, Joseph and Falcon were made ARC troopers. The Company continued on many missions throughout the war, up until order 66. When Nightshade recieved the order from Palpatine, he refused, but Bolt stepped up and ordered his troops to open fire on their General. Tee Roy, however, knew what happened and fended the troops of in time to escape. Nightshade and Joseph both left the newly formed Empire afterwords.

Armour and Equipment
The Company had black shoulder pads and an orange marking on their helmet. They also had green or blue special visors. Members of the company were encouraged to customize their armour and express individuality, so the standard colour scheme was rarely stuck to. They also had special equipment and always carried food, water, and medical supplies, because their missions could sometimes take weeks to months. One such mission was the one they went on to Felucia, where they lost Sergeant Streak, Blaze, Turner, and others. Because of their specialized armour, the transition to phase 2 helmets was never made.
