Troopers who specialized in grappling were Death Watch warriors of Mandalore, identifiable by a specific symbol on their Mandalorian armor. Some Grappling Troopers departed from Death Watch with Lady Bo-Katan Kryze to fight as part of the Mandalore resistance.
Grappling Troopers were a specialized type of Mandalorian warrior serving within the ranks of Death Watch. These soldiers were equipped with whipcord launchers for combat and bore a distinctive unit insignia on their Mandalorian armor.
Grappling Troopers were in service when Death Watch established its base on Carlac. After the assault on Ming Po Town, Grappling Troopers captured Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi Padawan, and brought her back to the Death Watch camp after her true allegiance was revealed. They subsequently fought in the Battle on Carlac against Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi Padawan, Lux Bonteri, R2-D2, and several reprogrammed droids.
