The 501st Legion was a legion of elite trained Clone Troopers during the Clone Wars, led by Anakin Skywalker, Commander Appo, and Captain Rex in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. They were originally the best known legion of troopers in the war until the evil Emperor Palpatine issued Order 66, the latter being a command for the Clones Troopers to view the Jedi as traitors to the Republic that needed to be executed, which would followed by the Troopers executing the Jedi. The command was programmed in an inhibitor chip that was instilled in every Clone, in order to forcibly compel them to obey the command without question. The 501st, along with all other clone troopers instantly betrayed the Jedi on command, executed every last one of them except for Skywalker, who became Darth Vader and the squad's permanent general, Yoda, and Obi-Wan, who both went into hiding.
After the Clone Wars the legion was renamed "Vader's Fist" and fought for the Galactic Empire in many battles. Being clone soldiers, they lacked moral thoughts and committed many war crimes. The deaths of Palpatine and Vader, the latter redeeming himself as Anakin Skywalker, led to the fragmentation of the legion until it was reformed by the Imperial Remnant.
