General Information Body Paragraph:

The 501st Clone Legion was a battalion in the Grand Army of the Republic under the command of General Skywalker, consisting of highly skilled and dedicated Clone Troopers. During the era of the Galactic Empire, this battalion would be renamed to the 501st Stormtrooper Legion and nicknamed “Vader’s First”.

During the Galactic Republic, the legion was led by clone Captain CT-7567 aka “Rex”, and General Skywalker as well as his Padawan, Commander Tano. This battalion was known for its unconventional tactics, swift attacks and excellence in battle, as well as an undying loyalty to the Republic. The 501st took part in many battles within the war, some notable ones including; The Battle of Umbara, Second Battle of Geonosis, The Battle of Malastare and the Siege of Christophsis. 

The legion would continue to exist till the end of the Empire where it would be Darth Vader’s personal regiment where he would send them on specialized missions.

History/Background Body Paragraph:
The 501st Legion was formed during the beginning of the Clone Wars after the Grand Army of the Republic was formed by the Senate of the Galactic Republic. The 501st was created as a specialized group of troopers who were among some of the best soldiers in the army.

From the battle of Geonosis all the way to the fall of the Empire, only the bravest, most dedicated and highly skilled could become part of the Legion as a way to carry on the tradition and high stature that they brought.
Many Serparatist did what they could to counter them such as the B2 Super Battle Droid and other variants, however due to their unconventional use of warfare, they were always one step ahead of the Separatist Alliance. 

Additional Information Body Paragraph 

Some notable members of the 501st include; Captain Rex, Arc Troopers Fives, Echo, Tup, Clone Trooper Dogma, and Lt. Jesse.

All of these members fought for the Republic and many of them died. Troopers who survived the war were assimilated into the Galactic Empire, however Captain Rex removed his inhibitor chip as Order 66 was happening and therefore did not serve the Empire. Unfortunately Fives, Tup, and Jesse would not survive the war and would die in different ways that could have been prevented. Dogma was placed in Republic prison after executing General Pong Krell in an attempt to save his fellow Clone Troopers after Krell fell to the dark side.
