Hez's squad

Made up of at least three clone troopers and led by Clone Sergeant Hez, the squad was an infantry unit in the 501st Legion's Torrent Company.

At least four members of the squad, including Hez, deployed with Torrent Company of the 501st Legion to the Outer Rim planet Teth, in a mission to rescue Jabba Desilijic Tiure's son, Rotta, from Confederacy of Independent Systems captivity in 22 BBY. Hez's squad, along with the rest of Torrent Company, engaged with Confederacy forces and began scaling the walls of the monastery where the Huttlet was being held, led by two AT-TE walkers. Torrent Company sustained heavy casualties during the inital assault, including one of the walkers, but successfully reached the monestary. Sortly after the ascent, Torrent Company once again came under attack from vulture droids strafing runs and numerous battle droids, which inflicted heavy casualties, including the remaining AT-TE walker.

As the battle progressed, the troopers of Torrent Company were forced to trap themselves within the monastery, as waves of Separatist battle droids relentlessly assaulted their position. While Jedi General Anakin Skywalker evacuated with the Huttlet, the squad, along with the survivors of Torrent Company, prepared a desperate defense against the Confederacy, laying explosives and tripwires. The droids breached the monastery doors shortly after, and engaged with the clone forces inside. Although the men of Torrent Company had prepared a well-laid trap, the battle droids overwhelmed and killed the clones inside, including Hez and his squad.

Hez's squad first appeared in the novelization of the 2008 film Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The novelization was written by Karen Traviss and published the same year.
