230th Battalion

The two hundred and thirtieth (230th)battalion was lead by clone major 1223/1993, 'Josh', and clone commander 1224/1996, also known as Drake. It was formed in 16 ADK, on the planet of Kamino. The battalion was made up of 625 clone troopers, though because of several violent and dangerous assignments, the battalion lost most of its' fourth company shorty after the battle of Dor.

History
The clone troopers of the 230th were clones of the bounty hunter and former Mandalore, Boba Fett. Trained in combat by Mandalorian instructors, they, like all other clones, were seen to be superior soldiers, with ingrained training, allowing them to react faster, and more efficiently in combat situations.

The battalion fought in the opening battle of the Confederacy-Republic war, on the rocky, mountainous planet of Dor, in 20 ADK. Clone commander 1224/1996, was severely injured when his gunship was hit by a Dorian fighter. The 230th still managed to rally and drive the droids back, taking their objective, a large bunker, that contained Dorian weapons, and battle plans. Later, both cc-1224/1996 and cm-1223/1993 would state that the mission had been a pointless waste of life.

During the battle of Imeddis, where Droid Confederacy forces had invaded and begun executing politicians and civilians that disagreed with the confederacy taking over their homeworld. Unfortunately, their Mandalorian general, either incompetent or overconfident, ordered the battalion into situations where they were bound to lose soldiers. As a result, the entire fourth company of the battalion to be wiped out, along with the general. Commander Drake commented on this several times after the battle, and grew to mistrust non-clones.
