During the Clone Wars, many brave Clone Troopers died in the heat of battle, fighting to protect the Republic from the onslaught of the separatist forces. Troopers were killed everywhere from space battles, to gritty land battles, and even in the depths of ocean worlds. But what did the Republic do with their dead Clone Troopers? Lets find out…

For Clone troopers who died in Land battles, there were two options.

If time permitted and the battle allowed for it, Troopers would be given the chance to bury their clone brothers in graves at the site of the battle, giving one final chance to remember the Fallen Clones and their sacrifice. Clone Troopers who died in land battles were also sometimes cremated at the site of the battle of burial was not a possibility.

The other option for Troopers who died in large land battles was that their bodies would simply be left on the battlefield for days or weeks following the conflict, in cases where recovery was simply not possible because of the intensity of attacks by the Separatists. In these cases, the Republic usually returned to the battlefields where the dead Clone troopers laid once the battle had ended, to recover their bodies. Unfortunately this wasn’t always possible, leaving many dead clone troopers scattered across the battlefields of the galaxy, serving as a haunting reminder of the true cost of the Clone Wars.
