The 65th Legion, was formed during the Clone Wars and was known for the distinctive red pattern to their armor. This legion of Stormtroopers served as the defensive force on Imperial Center for the protection of the Palace, and was the forerunner of the Emperor's Royal Guard. During the Battle of Coruscant this legion was all but wiped out. It was reformed under Emperor Valak's reign, and served for many years aboard the HIMS Inquisitor. They are now based on Coruscant.
