The 501st Legion, often referred to as the "501st," is a fictional elite unit from the Star Wars universe, known for its high combat effectiveness and loyalty. While specific numbers vary across different media, it is typically depicted as comprising thousands of clone troopers, with a strong emphasis on specialized training and leadership. The 501st is renowned for its participation in key battles during the Clone Wars and later, under Darth Vader, during the Great Jedi Purge. Its strength lies not only in numbers but also in the skill and dedication of its soldiers.

It also gave a total of 4,230 men in the standard cohorts and 800 men in the 1st cohort. The entire legion had 5,120 infantrymen. T
