Waxer's platoon

Waxer's platoon was a platoon commanded by Clone Lieutenant Waxer in 20 BBY during the Battle of Umbara amidst the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic.

During the Grand Army of the Republic's campaign on the Expansion Regions world of Umbara, Waxer's platoon received information from Jedi General Pong Krell that the Umbarans had destroyed a clone unit and were disguised with their armor and equipment. However, the exact same information had been given to Clone Captain Rex of the 501st Legion.The resulting battle resulted in heavy casualties for both sides, until it was realized that both forces were actually clones. Although they had at this point lost their platoon leader, the platoon, along with the surviving element of the 501st, combined to apprehend General Krell for treason.
