A Siege Battalion Trooper is a minifigure that is based on a division of clone troopers from the Star Wars movies with the same name. It was released in 2005 as part of the Revenge of the Sith line., although these troopers were never actually seen in the movie at all. They are basically Clone Trooper in Phase II armor with green markings. This minifigure makes an appearance in two of the three Lego star wars video games.

[edit] Description and Accessories
The Siege Battalion Trooper's appearance is based of that of a clone trooper from Episode III in phase two armor, with green markings. His torso is colored to resemble white battle armor, he has white arms, white and black legs, black hands, and a only black minifigure head. He comes with an exclusive phase II clone helmet. It contains an almost T shaped visor, which is black and empty and two filtration holes. The trooper has green markings above the helmet and on the torso.
A blaster with a transparent blue stud at the end of it.

[edit] Sets
The Siege Battalion Trooper is exclusive to the set 7260 Wookiee Catamaran, which was released in 2005 as part of the Revenge of the Sith line. Two Siege Battalion Troopers were included, each with a blaster. They came with a swamp speeder.
[edit] Video Game Appearances
Siege Battalion troopers appeared in Lego Star Wars: The Video Game and later Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. They appeared in both games in the same level, which is Invasion of Kashyyk. In the level you play as Yoda, Chewbacca and Tarful, and Order 66 has been initiated. Therefore, the Siege Battalion troops turn against Yoda and his wookie pact. IN the level, these troopers serve as the most seen enemies, along with Battle Droids. These clones can be later bought from the in-game store and played as. Although the Siege Battalion Troopers look exactly identical to their in-game counterpoints, in-game, they are named "Clone Trooper (Ep.III)(Swamp)".
[edit] Swamp Trooper Controversy
It has been noted that the Siege Battalion Troopers act as a replacement of the Swamp Troopers seen in Star Wars: Episode III, especially in the video game. In the movies, the Swamp Troopers battled on Kashyyk under the command of Luminara and Yoda. In the Lego sets and video games, Siege Battalion troopers battle on Kashyyk and serve under the command of Luminara and Yoda. A swamp trooper minifigure has been created, but completely underused. Why Lego has used Siege Battalion Troopers rather than Swamp Troopers in not know, although it is possible that the sets were created before the final version of the movie, that the troopers were not shown to lego for secretive reasons, or that Lego wished to have a certain degree of creativity and originality.
