The 44th Division, alternatively named Rostu's Renegades, was a unit comprised of clone troopers and various other species' military members. This division fought for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. It was under the leadership of Brevet Major Nick Rostu during the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rostu took command in 21 BBY, and the division was involved in numerous engagements over the final two years of the war, such as the Battle of Ando, the Battle of Atraken, and the Battle of Bassadro.
Although his own recollections painted the division's service as disorganized and reliant on chance, the 44th Division was presented by the Republic's HoloNet News as highly capable soldiers. They were depicted as energetic and eager, rapidly deploying from planet to planet, enthusiastic to engage the Confederacy in support of the Republic's supporters.
The novel Coruscant Nights I: Jedi Twilight, released in 2008 and penned by Michael Reaves, included a reference to the 44th Division. It was the first book in the Star Wars: Coruscant Nights trilogy.
