481st Legion

Age of the Republic
The 481st Legion was a Military Legion that served as soldiers for The Grand Army Of The Republic, later serving for The Galactic Empire. Led by Jedi General Banto Fedub and Admiral Vaughn, the Legion specialised in ground attack, recon and bombing. The Legion fought in some of the biggest battles of the Clone Wars including the first Battle of Geonosis, the battle of Dantooine and the Jedi Massacre on Ilum. There attacks also took them to Dantooine where they defended the planet from The Droid Army with the help of Jedi General Mace Windu. During the final hours of The Republic, The 481st were sent to Ilum for unknown reasons. During this time, Banto Fedub and his Padawan Aurora Cygnus were executed by their men. The 481st were ordered to secure the Temple and eliminate any surviving Jedi that set foot on the Planet. A dozen Jedi were killed giving the battle the name “The Jedi Massacre On Ilum”.

Age of the Empire
The 481st Legion gained a strong reputation due to the number of Jedi that they killed during the purge. Once the Empire was firmly established and the Jedi purge had ended, they remained on Ilum where they would be transformed into an Imperial Navy group and were stationed over Ilum onboard the Star Destroyer ‘Nexus’. The remaining Clone troopers were decommissioned and new Stormtroopers filled their ranks. Over the years, the Legion witnessed the transformation of the planet into a deadly super weapon that they called Starkiller Base. After the Empires defeat on Endor, the legion was called to Jakku to aid the Empire in battle against the Rebellion where they died along with majority of The Empire,
