**The 3rd Systems Army was renamed the Orange Systems Army in 529 ABY, shortly before the 2nd Battle of Coruscant. The color patterns of the armor stayed the same, only the name of the army changed.**

Prison Cells Army: The armor of the Prison Cells Army was essentially a modern version of the Coruscant Guard's armor worn during the Clone War. The main difference between the Coruscant Guard's armor and the Prison Cells Army's armor was that all members of the Prison Cells Army wore kamas with holsters for DC-17 Hand Blasters on them.

The 501st ARF Cavalry: As the most elite unit in the 501st Legion, they did not follow the same rules as the rest of the clone army. The Cavalry had 600 members and the ranks were divided as follows:

501st ARF Cavalry 1st Battle of Coruscant (528 ABY)) and afterwards Ranks
Ranks          Number of Troopers under their command (including themselves)

Sergeant      50
Lieutenant  100
Captain       300 (in command of half of the cavalry)
Colonel        600


The Orange ARC Battalion: formerly known as the Orange ARC Company or the Morthon Company and was originally under the command of ARC Captain Morgurn (he led the company until his death). Following Captain Morgurn's death, the company was retired for a few years. Then in 528 ABY, ARC Colonel Junal reintroduced the company, and expanded its numbers from 200 to 1,000 troopers, thereby reorganizing the company into a cavalry the size of a large battalion. He also gave the entire cavalry BARC Speeders, effectively making them BARC Troopers and cavalrymen, just like their compatriots from the BARC Company. Unlike the rest of the 3rd Systems Army, the armor of the Orange ARC Cavalry had armor and helmets that wore 100% orange. Many people came to alternatively refer to the Orange ARC Battalion as the Orange ARC Cavalry.

Orange ARC Battalion Ranks 528 ABY - Present:

Ranks         Pauldron colors                      Number of Troopers under their command (including themselves)


Trooper     left pauldron = black, right pauldron = black            0

Captain      left pauldron = green, right pauldron = orange         200
Colonel      left pauldron = orange, right pauldron = orange       1,000




BARC Company

This company followed the standard chain of command of the 3rd Systems Army (both pre and post 528 ABY). However, they wore ARC trooper armor that was painted in the same manner as the 91st Reconnaissance Corps from the Clone Wars. The BARC Company wore the Phase II 91st Recon Corp Clone Trooper helmet in with their armor. Also, they wore a double gray pauldron, signifying that they were ARC Troopers. As the most elite unit in the Third Systems Army  (later renamed the Orange Systems Army) and the best reconnaissance troopers of the army as well, the BARC Company was assigned tasks the other companies of the army could not complete, or weren't expected to complete. In other words, the BARC Company were naturally the troopers of the Third Systems Army who sent out on recon missions. Also, because of stature as the best unit within the army, they were effectively the marines of the army. They were often sent into battle before the rest of the army, and were so highly skilled, they could  usually hold off the opposing forces, until the main army arrived.

Example of the troopers off and on their BARC Speeders: 



212th Attack Battalion

Asides from the Orange ARC Battalion, all other elite units in the 3rd Systems Army were part of the 212th. Starting in 528 ABY, the commanding officer of the Battalion as a whole was Lieutenant Commander Coronado


Republic Military Armies 

 Key:

1.  Anytime I say the first and last name of a trooper from one of the Republic Military Armies, the troopers is a human/humanoid/alien
2.  Anytime that I write only a first name and no last name, the trooper is  a clone of Commander/General Glaxx Nawder [who was also the commanding officer of Republic Military Army A]
3.  For all four Republic Military Armies (Armies A, B, C, and D), roughly half of the army are humans, with a handful of humanoids and aliens, while the other roughly half of the army are clones of Commander/General Glaxx Nawder

*The ranks of major and colonel were both created in 528 ABY. The rank of colonel was created for all of the officers who were already in command of an elite company and used to be unofficially known as elite captains.*
**The majors and colonels in the Republic Military Armies all were directly in charge of their own company (consisting of 200 troopers) within their total forces. In other words outside of the company they had been commanding for years, they also were in command of  various numbers of companies depending on the battle they partook in. Also, because of the vast number of responsibilities of the colonels (and the maximum number of forces they could have under their command), the only colonels were those who commanded to most elite companies in the armies.*
**Everyone who was at the rank of Major or below wore armor that was based off of the uniform worn by the rebel troopers during Star Wars Rebels (1st picture below), the colonels wore armor based off an old female rebel uniform [2nd picture below (the colonels' armor had two blasters holsters on it. The biggest difference in basic appearance between the picture below, and the Republic Military Army Colonel's armor that  the Republic Army Colonels' armor went all the way down their arms and covered their hands, while the female rebel trooper's uniform goes a little past the elbow)], and the generals wore a brown armor that was similar to the Rebel Heavy Trooper's uniform (3rd picture below).**

*Troopers are sometimes referred to as privates*
**The commanders are not allowed to wear ARF Trooper, or Clone Pilot Armor unless they were trained to be one. The commanders are the Tipoca City overseers, this includes all troopers, vehicles, and cadets.**
***ARF Troopers and ARC Troopers follow the same rank insignia order as regular troopers, except ARC Troopers wear their rank color markings on their arms as well as their Pauldrons.***


Promotions Rules:
  • No Kamino Protection Army (KPA) trooper or corporal can get into the 3rd Systems Army, 501st Legion, or Prison Cells Army (these three armies also referred to as the main army or the professional army) unless they are told they are going to be promoted to Sergeant in the KPA. At that point, they can choose between the two or more rank "promotions" they are eligible for (which are equivalent ranks to each other).
  • From that point on, they have promotion choices
                   - From KPA Trooper: KPA Sergeant, Main Army Trooper or Corporal                              (corporal depends on how elite the trooper is)
                   - From KPA Corporal: KPA Sergeant or Main Army Trooper or Corporal
                   - From KPA Sergeant: KPA Lieutenant or Main Army Sergeant
                   - From KPA Lieutenant: KPA Captain or Main Army Lieutenant
                   - From KPA Captain: KPA Major or Main Army Captain
                   - From KPA Major: KPA Commander #2 or Main Army Elite Company Captain
                   - From KPA Commander #2: KPA Commander #1, Main Army Elite Company Captain,  Main Army Commander
                   - From KPA Commander #1: Main Army Elite Company Captain, Main Army Commander or General
  • Since the KPA ranks gave more troopers to command per rank, many troopers (of any rank) decide to take the KPA promotion instead of the promotion to the stereotypically more respected Main Army promotion equivalent. This is true especially if a KPA lieutenant or captain thinks he may eventually become a KPA major (essentially a low rank commander) or commander, since it is even harder to achieve these ranks in the main army.
  • On the other hand, since the Main Army ranks for the most part are a more prestigious than the KPA ranks (and in the case of top promotions extremely elite), many other KPA troopers (of any rank) choose the Main Army rank promotion over the KPA rank promotion equivalents.
  • All of this means that all KPA ranks are the equivalent of one rank lower in the main army. This also means that a promotion in the KPA ranks is equal in the eyes of KPA trooper of simply being transferred to one of the Main Armies (501st, 3rd Systems, of Prison Cells) and keeping the same rank.
  • Most cadets, once graduated, start out as base level KPA Troopers
  • Cadets can not start out as main army troopers or corporals right after graduation. However, elite cadets can start as any higher rank in the KPA depending on how elite they became in their training.
Timira City Armies
  • Timira City on Kamino became the location where the Republic started to clone Commander Glaxx Nawder
  • By 525 ABY, the city had 30 Million fully grown and trained clones of Commander Nawder, as well as 24 Million other troopers who were fully trained (who were not clones). All were acting as the army protecting Timira City, as well as waiting for their turn to get into to the Republic Military Armies (if that was their ultimate goal).
Divisions of the Timira City Armies
  • Timira Army A (6,000,000 Troopers)
  • Timira Army B (6,000,000 Troopers)

Grand Admiral: Red Uniform. Insignia: twelve green circles (in two rows of six)
     This rank was originally a theoretical rank created for the imprisoned Admiral Ofal Solaris von Forliul (who at the time was sentenced to life in prison on Coruscant). The Grand Admiral was to be in charge of his own starfleet, as well as the overseer of all of the Red Empire's starfleets. When the rank was later formally given to Forliul, as well as Tiberius Maxsheerio, these pre-set rules became enacted.
     Forliul was so much better at his job than any other admiral in the Red Empire that came before or after him that the empire gave him the rank  of Grand Admiral even though he was not able to formally be given the rank at the time due to his the fact that he was sentenced to life in prison in the military wing of the Republic's Prison Cells. Also, because of this, the Empire firmly stated that the Grand Admiral uniform was never going to produced again by the Red Empire, an that if Von Forliul was released before his death, he would be in command of all of the Red Empire's starfleets.    However, despite this claim, the Empire did in fact officially give the rank to Tiberius Maxsheerio in 428 ABY following his victory on Kuat.
     Later that year, Forliul was in fact rescued by his cousins, legendary bounty hunter duo Haedus and Ketsge Solaris, during the 1st Battle of Coruscant. Forliul was therefore formally given his official promotion to Grand Admiral in the aftermath of the Battle (i.e. early 529 ABY). This meant that the Red Empire edited the rules for the rank of Grand Admiral, declaring that there are two grand admirals who co-command/oversee all of the Empire's naval fleets on top both commanding their own personal massive starfleets.

*Navy (the billions of Fighter and F-7 Falcon Droids did not have any rankings)*
**Despite this being the Red Empire, Darth Terix decided that orange and green signified a higher rank than that of red. Therefore, orange would typically represent higher ranks.**

                                              **The below movie description is a cross between a plot summary and a screenplay (it is somewhat screenplay like because the precise time lengths of different scenes being written, and the dialogue)**
        Admiral Ofal Solaris von Forliul a grandchild of the deceased legendary bounty hunter Northa Solaris [she and her mother Helun Solaris were legendary bounty hunters who worked for the Togruta Empire (which existed from 397 ABY-501 ABY]. Darth Terix sent him with a fleet of ten Red Empire Star Destroyers to Quermia (a planet with a total population of roughly 750 Million, with a capital city housing about 350 Million of them), in an attempt to take over the planet (the invasion force included some ground forces). However, the Republic was contacted about the Red Empire's presence on the planet, and they sent a massive invasion fleet (led by Admiral Urvin Quidlik) and a few armies to counterattack. Quidlik's fleet destroyed all ten Star Destroyers in less than a minute, and all its Fighter Droids in two minutes. Any escape pods that had life forms in them were captured, while the rest were destroyed. The only people who escaped were Darth Mirun, Commander Barx Bensun, and an elite platoon of Royal Guard Droids, who got into Mirun's Stealth Porba Class Shuttle, and flew down to the planet's surface below.
          Shortly after Electrode and the crew of the Runner's departure, the Empire's main fleet arrived. Then after a few hours of fighting, five Turbo Tanks, and 50,000 Clone Troopers in the middle of the battlefield created a "

      After that, Masters Ryflansk VI, Touk XII, Jarfar III, Commander Glaxx Nawder, and ARC Commander North had a meeting, in which Saru Falstom II arrived at a moment later in her

       As they started to retreat into the Capital City, Falstom II charged to the front of Republic lines, and engaged powerful At this point, it was past dusk, and miraculously, both armies called it a day and rested during the night. 
     The next morning, the Empire's reinforcements arrived (2,000 Red Empire Officers, millions of Red Empire Troopers, and 700 Million Hunter Droids). This army was led by the Red Empire's top commander, Jennu Callipo-Bensun. After the reinforcements arrived, Callipo-Bensun's husband, Commander Barx Bensun ordered the armies to use the

        Barx Bensun wound up sending his son Lieutenant Filpoq Bensun, and 100,000 Hunter Droids to the fifth street.
         Terix then ordered Mirun to Force Teleport herself and Dnulgreb II to his
     Meanwhile, Ivanrul used Force Heal to heal himself, then destroyed the electrostand and had a fierce duel with Dnulgreb II. The duel ended with Ivanrul stabbing Dnulgreb II through the chest effectively killing her. He then turned off his lightsaber, bowed down in front of Terix, and was made a Dark Jedi by Terix (by the same process as knighting a Jedi).
     Concurrently on Quermia, he Dark Jedi Rilmia Arfank was running around the city killing many clones, Jedi, and Quermians with her
         Back in the sky battle,

        Back on the other side of the Capital City, the 501st Legion and its allies were informed of Captain Flapper's defeat. After hearing this message, Master Jarfar VI who was anger about the news, lost her Jedi instincts (revenge is not the Jedi way), and had two other Jedi, ARC Commander North, Captain Empolen (leader of the 501st Medic Company), twelve of his men, 1,000 other 501st Legionnaires, 2,000 Quermians, 1 HAV/w A6 Juggernaut, and two AT-TEs, form up to aid her in a vicious attack of the Red Empire's lines in attempt to take out Barx Bensun, and other high ranking imperial officials, in order to avenge Flapper's defeat. At first Jedi Masters Ryflansk VI,
       Along their way, a hunter droid fired a rocket launcher destroying the AT-TE on the left side of Jarfar VI's troops. As they got close to Bensun's command area, one of the Jedi Knights was shot down by the Empire's forces. After a few minutes, they finally reached the command area. Jarfar had her troops make a barricade around the command area, while the surviving AT-TE positioned itself towards the right side of the command area, and the turbo tank positioned itself to the left of the command area. Sensing this, Darth Mirun teleported herself to Bensun's command area, only to find herself being Force Choked by the angry Jarfar VI. After calmly releasing the Sith, the two engaged in a fierce duel. After a minute of fighting, Jarfar VI's lower left arm was cut off. As she tried to use Force Heal to "regenerate" her missing limb, Mirun charged at her and stabbed her in the chest, killing her. Seconds later, Commander North turned to Barx Bensun, and fired out shot at his head killing him instantaneously. Mirun then used Force Choke on Commander North killing him, while some of Filpoq Bensun's troops fired their rocket launchers, exploding Jarfar's second AT-TE. The rest of Jarfar VI's troops quickly retreated back to the Republic's lines, under the command of Captain Empolen. When they got roughly half way back, the empire fired rocket launchers; three repelled off of the turbo tank's tough armor, with the fourth going through the tank's back window, exploding it.
      As the surviving members of Jarfar VI's troops made it back to the Republic lines, the Republic's main forces were gradually pushing into the Empire's forces, slowly defeating their enemy's armies on all three sides of the city that they were stationed on. (The fourth side of the city on the other side from the original battlefield did not have any troops from either side there.) Meanwhile, the Republic troops at the front of the city had fought off most of their attackers, forcing the survivors to flee towards the Empire's left and right flanks.
     A minute later, Commander Qurnonth realized that the Empire's left flank was about to collapse and was already doing so in some areas. The
      All of the troops retreated except for Captain Albine Coersica and his droids. The army officer ordered his troops to stand their ground, and continue to hold off the Republic's forces for as long as possible, with the hope of eventually breaking through the Republic's lines. The Republic's troops simply surrounded Coersica's troops and started to take them down quickly. Members of the 3rd Systems Army took down hundreds of them, and many Jedi took down a lot of others. After a rocket launcher destroyed a AT-TE on the left side of Coersica's troops (facing away from the city), Yovtek, ordered the rocket launchers to be destroyed. He destroyed two and made his way to Coersica, destroying Coersica's blaster with his lightsaber, then he had ARC Commander Victory tranquilize him. The surviving members of Qurnonths army (including Qurnonth) were Force Teleported to some of the remaining ships of Admiral Romopl Satien's fleet, then and Rolvos did the same thing to himself, then those ships departed the Quermian system, and just into hyperspace towards Denon.
      This meant that the only forces of the Red Empire left on Quermia were the surviving members of the right flank. Just then, Mirun received a transmission from Terix, ordering that the right flank retreated from Quermia, since they would only lose more troops if they stayed on the planet, especially since the surviving Republic forces of the former left flank and forces from the city center on the outskirts were about to reconvene with the Republic's right flank; the largest and most powerful of the three divisions of Republic forces protecting the Quermian Capital City. Therefore, the survivors of both Bensun's army started to slowly retreat from the Capital City (taking Barx Bensun's corpse with them, so the Bensuns' could have a  funeral for him, the way they wanted to).
     The battle was at the end was a decisive victory for the Republic, with the surviving imperial star destroyers retreating from the system and jumped into hyperspace with Darth Mirun and the survivors of the planetary invasion just minutes later. Prime Minister Mowg Porus of  Quermia then came up to the collection of Republic commanders (Jedi Masters Ryflansk VI, Touk XII, Jarfar III, Commander Glaxx Nawder, ARC Commander Victory, and ARC Captain Recruiter) and personally thanked them for successfully pushing the Red Empire's forces off of his planet. He then stated that he knew that some of the Quermian defectors that had survived the battle had fled the system with the Empire, and that some other Quermian rebels had been captured by Quermian Militiamen. Porus then asked what happened to the rest of the traitors, to which he was told that the Republic forces had captured them, and deported and sent to the Prison Cells on Coruscant. Jedi Master Jarfar III then assured the Prime Minister that his planet would get all of the funds to rebuild and repair Quermia, especially the heavily battle-damaged capital city. However, she told Porus that the rebuilding would take several years to complete.
    Back on Denon, Darth Terix promised all of the other Red Empire officials that the Battle of Quermia would not count as final failure for any of them, since they were simply overpowered and were fighting against an enemy who figured out a better strategy to win the battle than they did. Terix then said to Darth Mirun, "in fact this was a success for you since you defeated many important Republic officers and Jedi including the Commander of the 501st Legion, and the seventh most powerful Jedi Council member with ease, thereby proving that you are even more of a force to be reckoned with than the Republic previously thought." (He then turned his attention to Filpoq Bensun) "Also, young Captain Filpoq Bensun, you keep getting better by the day. Everyone, rest up, we lost the battle today, however, we can still win the war."
    Meanwhile on Quermia, the Republic officers' talked with Porus  about how the battle ended. Commander Nawder and his three wives, Jedi Masters Morgurna Ryflansk VI, Northa Jarfar III, and Tifley Touk XII excused themselves, and they all walked down 6th street together. (The Force Theme started to play) Nawder promised his wives that they would eventually destroy the Sith for good. He then hugged and kissed all three of them, then the closing theme started to play.

*Captain Albine Coersica (born 479 ABY)) was imprisoned in the Military Prisoner Wing of the Prison Cells on Coruscant from his capture in 522 ABY during the Battle of Quermia, until a prisoner exchange in 525 ABY for Commander Victory (who was captured during the Battle of Touroscant as the only Republic survivor of the battle), as well as the bounty hunter Evco Dornio (who was frozen in carbonite by the Flare Empire in 395 ABY following his defeat after a failed bounty on Taanab in which the Flare Empire's 2nd in command the Sith Lord Fork apprehended him.*
** Admiral Ofal Solaris von Forliul (496 ABY - 543 ABY) was imprisoned in the Military Prisoner Wing of the Prison Cells on Coruscant from his capture in 522 ABY during the Battle of Quermia, until his rescue from prison in 528 ABY. **
***Captain Electrode was the leader of the Electric Company; a company in the 212th Attack Battalion whose armor had yellow stripes on top of their orange shoulder pads, and across their chest (only one stripe is at each one of these spots). Electrode himself accessorized his armor a little bit more, wearing a Kama with DC-17 Blasters in holsters on the Kama. He also had a visor [that looks like Commanders Cody, Fox (in Phase II) and Doom's] and a rangefinder on his helmet.***





**BTW, the Massacre was when the eight Jedi were slaughtered by Darth Terix in their prison cells, and the Duel was when Pol Jor, and Dnulgreb Illek II were killed during lightsaber duels.**
