I must redress an injustice done to the valiant members of Republic Commando squad "Ion Team," led by the specialist known as "Climber."

I left them off the 2005 Top Ten Clones list from the StarWars.com Best of 2005 article, and I regret that oversight.

Why are they special? I can't spoil too much for those that haven't yet read the wonderful "Dark Lord" by Jim Luceno, but suffice to say Ion Team deserves a mention for their honorable and touching sacrifice.

I salute you, guys.
