187th Battalion

The 187th Battalion was a Grand Army of the Republic infantry battalion of clone troopers that served under the command of Jedi General Mace Windu during the galaxy-spanning Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Windu led the troopers of the 187th during the Battle of Anaxes, an engagement of the Outer Rim Sieges in 19 BBY, during which the Republic's forces sought to defend the vital Anaxes shipyards from the Confederacy or otherwise risk compromising their entire reserve fleet.

The battalion defended the planet Anaxes alongside members of the 212th Attack Battalion, the 501st Legion, and Clone Force 99. The unit was equipped with standard Phase II clone trooper armor with maroon markings. Ultimately, the Republic emerged victorious in the defense of Anaxes. The battalion shared its numerical designation with another unit led by Windu: the elite 187th Legion.
