78th Clone Legion Side Mod by 666rulerofclones explains in his readme this Clone Legion was added to expand the Elite Clone Trooper Side Mod. This is mostly a black and white Clone Legion which was made to replace the stock Republic units. I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR MAKING THIS SIDE MOD. ALL CREDIT GOES TO 666RULEROFCLONES ALONG WITH ANYONE HE CREDITED IN THE README.
DESCRIPTION IS FROM THE README:
This is an expansion of my earlier Elite Clone Trooper mod. I got a suggestion to create a custom legion out of it, so here it is! The Republic Elite 78th Recon Legion. This mod uses the same models but the troopers were re-skinned. one thing you will notice is a 78 Logo on the trooper's shoulders. The logo is the Wisconsin State highway logo, in case if it looks familiar. This mod also has changed spaceships and vehicles in addition to weapons and infantry. Again, all episode 3 troopers (except the Jet Trooper), have Kamas//skirts. EMP Grenades were added back in. The Arc Caster was also added, and I improved the Shotgun and it is fun to use! The chaingun, same as last time, operates on limited ammo, but no longer over-heats. I added recoil to all ground weapons except the rocket launcher. These are the new weapon setups:
CLONE TROOPER: Blaster Rifle, Blaster Pistol, EMP Grenade, Thermal Detonator
HEAVY TROOPER: Rocket Launcher, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Time Bomb
CLONE SHARPSHOOTER: Sniper Rifle, Blaster Pistol, EMP Grenade, Recon Droid
CLONE ENGINEER: DN Bolt Caster, Fusion Cutter, Mines, Power-ups
CLONE COMMANDER: Chaingun, Commando Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Rally, Recon Droid
JET TROOPER: Blast Cannon, Commando Pistol, Wrist Rocket, Detpack
CLONE PILOT: Commando Pistol, Fusion Cutter, EMP Grenade, Time Bomb
CLONE MARINE: Blast Cannon, Commando Pistol, Wrist Rocket, Detpack
I also modded the fighters and added the Y-wing, plus the gunships are back!
Y-wing: two positions: PILOT; laser cannons and torpedoes, and GUNNER, laser cannons
Arc-170: three positions: PILOT; laser cannons and particle cannons; CO-PILOT; proton bombs; and GUNNER: laser cannons
V-wing: one position: PILOT; laser cannons and particle cannons
LA-AT Gunship: four positions; PILOT: laser cannons and missiles; CO-PILOT; remote rockets, LEFT GUNNER; beam cannon, RIGHT GUNNER; beam cannon.
The Y-wing replaces the Jedi Fighter, and the V-wing is alot faster (WARNING: can get hard to control sometimes!)
This mod is really well balanced out i think. it is very similar to my Elite Clone Trooper mod.
There are a few other things, but ill leave them as surprises.

BUGS:
Arc-170 first-person is buggy, you cant see the ship
There is a black square that is present in the troopers stomach at times that has got me stumped.
