The 666th Elite Legion, nicknamed the Devil's Fist and Devil's Legion, was a clone unit in the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. The unit was initially led by Senior clone commander CC-2937 and admiral Norven Loyaler. However, in 2 BBY, the former was executed by the latter for treason, and subsequently replaced by CC-3389.
The unit and its commander eventually became part of the Aradan Union, admiral Loyaler's warlord faction. Here, CC-3389 became supreme commander of military forces.
History[]
The Clone Wars[]
The 666th was established in 22 BBY and was dubbed the Devil's Fist. Initially under command of senior clone commander Blades, the unit was later assigned to rear admiral Norven Loyaler, one of the only units not to be assigned to a member of the Jedi Order.
The unit was stationed in the Cybe sector. In 19 BBY, the unit participated in the battle of Cybe, repelling Separatist invasion.
Dark Times[]
By 2 BBY, CC-2937, also known as Syn, had become Blades' second-in-command. Despite being clones, Syn and Blades often favoured different tactics, the former often employing more composed tactics, while the latter favoured boldness.
Later that year, during the insurrection on Infamous Fallen, Blades was executed for suspected treason, and he was promptly replaced by Syn.
In 3 ABY, the unit participated in the siege of Reginard, successfully destroying the Rebel base.
Post–Endor[]
After the battle of Endor, the 666th became the military centerpiece of Norven's warlord regime, the Aradan Union, with Syn becoming Supreme Commander of all military forces.
While the majority of the Aradan Union Armed Forces were composed of 666th members, after 4 ABY it was rarely referred to as the 666th Legion.
