Verd was an individual who served in the Grand Army of the Republic with the military rank of commander during the Clone Wars.[1] In 19 BBY,[2] during the final days of the war, Jedi General Plo Koon led the Republic's 442nd Siege Battalion against the Separatist Alliance's forces on the Neimoidian colony Cato Neimoidia.[1]
During the battle, Commander Verd directed the 442nd's companies to besiege the Separatist base at an arena in the city Tarko-se using the battalion's AT-RT walkers and Infantry Support Platforms. With aerial support from Squad Seven and Plo Koon, the Republic forces were eventually able to gain control of the planet from Separatist Alliance General Baik Raaorn and his forces.[1]
