514th Pathfinders Regiment

The 514th Pathfinders Regiment was a clone trooper regiment in the Grand Army of the Republic. The 514th was formed before the First Battle of Geonosis and trained on Kamino before the Clone Wars broke out. It was initially under the 41st Legion, before its reorganization near the end of the war. The first mission of the 514th was to locate and prevent Techno Union Hardcell transports from leaving Geonosis with experimental weapons.

The then ARC Captain Phalanx led his troopers against the Droid Armies of the Separatist Alliance. Following the battle, Phalanx was promoted to ARC Commander. The primary goal of the 514th is to clear the way for main invasion forces and find paths that were lightly defended, as well as expose flanks. The 514th rarely had armored support and relied heavily on infantry squads. Often utilized were engineers, who had high explosive packs to clear obstacles. Many specialists were within the 514th's ranks.

At some point during the war, some of the members of the 514th Pathfinders Regiment were drafted into the 514th Response Division under Commander Tarque, when facing the Droid Armies on the planet Borbie.

When the Rathian-Republic war erupted on the planet Rathia, Phalanx and a majority of the 514th landed at the cliffs of Point High Hym on the mainland of Zormanis, and were tasked with finding and eliminating heavy coastal defense guns capable of reaching the other beach landings.
