Koorivar Fusiliers

The Koorivar Fusiliers were soldiers under the employment of the Corporate Alliance that formed one of the organic components of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' combined military forces during the Clone Wars. Their primary job was to guard Alliance facilities from Sabotage and Industrial espionage.

The unit consisted primarily of Koorivar. Members were distinguished by red head-armor, rib-armor, black metal boots, a hole for the horn on the forehead armor, and metal gloves. Their primary weapons were Koorivar-manufactured blasters. Passel Argente, the leader of the Corporate Alliance, took four or five of these as escorts. They were excellent warriors who only fought with their weapons when commanded. During the Clone Wars, Argente appointed Oro Dassyne as a general of the Fusiliers. General Grievous also sometimes used these troopers in specific battle strategies during the Outer Rim Sieges.

Koorivar Fusiliers were deployed to the Mid Rim world of Moorja during the Clone Wars, fighting alongside Neimoidian Gunnery Battalions and Gossam Commandos. Due to Moorja’s frequent ion storms, droid forces were unusable, prompting the Confederacy to rely on organic infantry. The Fusiliers operated in the planet’s agricultural zones, which also provided sustenance for the troops, reducing logistical costs. They also participated in the battle of Bomis Koori IV, under General Oro Dassyne.
