Category:74th Brigade

The 74th Brigade, informally known as the Rough Soldiers, was a unit formed in 22 BBY by General Murge Tallav shortly after the Clone Wars began. Consisting of clone troopers and non-clones, the brigade was made up different specialized units such as snipers, grenadiers and jetpack troopers. Troops in this unit were identified by the dark brown markings plus the armor plating the non-clones wore.

HistoryEdit
In 22 BBY, when the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and Separatists, Murge Tallav, seeking to make himself a name joined the Grand Army and formed his unit called the 74th Brigade, consisting of clones and non-clones. Though there was skecptism as to the "mixed" group of getting along, both clones and non-clones soon learned to appreciate one another as the fighting raged on to other worlds. Due to their arrogance and pride, influenced by General Tallav's leadership, the brigade earned the name, the "Rough Soldiers". While Tallav's troops didn't like his approach to leadership, a large section greatly admired his boldness and charisma.

However, fortunes would change for the Rough Soldiers, as of 21 BBY, the second year of the war, 90% of the brigade were killed when the Separatists launched Base Delta Zero (BDZ). Tallav was among the dead when it occurred, and as a result, the 189th Brigade was disbanded, and its surviving members left the Grand Army to pursue peaceful lives.
