Legend

this was the designation of a group of clone commandos assigned to the Open Circle Armada, during the height of the Clone Wars. Squad Seven was originally formed by Alpha-17, and was led by Commander Cody and Odd Ball, and served under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. During the mission to Cato Neimoidia, Squad Seven was dispatched to capture Nute Gunray, a mission that they failed to accomplish when Gunray escaped just ahead of them. Many members of the squad were injured or killed in the attempt, and they were forced to regroup quickly in order to pursue Gunray to Charros IV. The squad regrouped for the First Battle of Coruscant, returning to the capital with the two Jedi in order to assist in liberating Chancellor Palpatine. The clones of Squad Seven were chose first for their ability to pilot the ARC-170 starfighter, but they were equally able to handle ground-based missions.
