I've always been drawn to the look of the Galactic Marines, so landing an accessory pack from Clone Army Customs was a coup.
Originally known as the 21st Nova Corps of the 4th Sector Army, the Galactic Marines were considered one of the most elite fighting forces in the Grand Army of the Republic. This lofty status was bolstered by being commanded by Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi and having a sub-unit regiment assigned to Mace Windu.
Specializing in capturing enemy starships and planetary assault, the unit also -- unfortunately -- played a central role in Order 66. Led by Marshal Commander Bacara (CC-1138), the squad turned on and killed Ki-Adi-Mundi during the Battle of Mygeeto. Following the rise of the Galactic Empire, this crew came to be known as the Imperial Galactic Marines.
The accessory pack features a maroon helmet, which is marked by a unique visor designed to protect galactic marines from airborne threats. A cloth pauldron and kama are also included, along with a tactical backpack and a Brickarms DC-15 rifle.
Matching torso, legs, and arms in a workable color scheme was relatively easy. The end result is a formidable and distinctive soldier who is good for employment in a host of missions and reenactments.
Hoorah.
