Green Company was a company that served within the 41st Elite Corps of the Galactic Republic's clone army[2] during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, the 41st Elite Corps was tasked with the transportation of Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray to the planet Coruscant aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tranquility.
