Life on Kamino
Rex was born and cloned on the water world of Kamino, where he was trained and befriended by many of his fellow brothers. One of his most beloved friends was CT-4443, Brion Graulshrieker, who was in his squad with him on Kamino. Rex and his squad was subjected to physical and mental training on the standard "Citadel Challenge." Him and his squadmates worked together as a team and accomplished the challenge with ease...earning their squad name, The War Hawks, for completing the course with exceptional time. The nickname War Hawks was a result of their desisive speed and timing, like the dreaded hawk.

Apon testing day, Rex and his team completed the course with ease, just as if they were taking the practice test, which impressed the captain watching the test, which is the famed Captain Rex, immidietly after graduation, Captain Rex wanted the War Hawks to join his famed 501st Legion.

Instead of being moved right onto the front lines of the battle, Rex's squad was sent to help the commando squad Delta Squad to find and capture the Separatist Geonosian commander, Sun Fac. After Delta Squad "took care" of Sun Fac, Rex's squad was moved to take out a major droid factory. The Republic's plan was to send in troops, and take out several Droid Factories simultaneously, which would indeed help the Republic take over this planet. After the mission was over, Rex was promoted to sergeant, along with his friend Brion. The War Hawks were soon able to rest, knowing their first missions were completed.

"Well, that mission wasn't so hard, was it boys?"- Rex Bacta

Rex's squad and a platoon of clone troopers were sent to capture, or destroy the base.

Battle of Umbara
Rex's squad, outfitted with new, upgraded armor, was sent, along with the rest of the 501st, to Umbara, the Shadow World. It was the most horrific battle the 501st have ever experiensed.

Rex was promoted to Captain after the battle, for his bravery and heroics that he shown during the siege. His leadership was one of the key elements in taking the Airfield. Rex and his men were able to rest in the newly captured base, where they knew they had to return to battle soon. Later in the battle to take the planet, the CIS sent a droid landing craft down to support the enemy Umbaran forces, so the Republic quickly acted.

Amror and Equipment
Rex has a wide veriety of weapons and gear, he even tryed on a few Jedi robes once and a while. Rex's most favored armor is his own custom design. His most favored blaster is the EE-3 Carbon Blaster Rifle, who has all the same power and hit as a DC-17 clone blaster rifle would. While on a mission to Nal Hutta, Rex and his squad was ambushed by a gang of bounty hunters. The bounty hunters were no match, so Rex took it apon himself to claim one of the bounty hunter's blasters as one of his own. Rex still uses a standard DC-15A clone blaster from time to time, and sometimes prefers his DC-16 clone blaster pistols when it comes to quick combat. Rex always has an itchy trigger finger, and loves to blast some clankers when the time comes.

Behind the Scenes
Rex has been in many battles, and has seen many things. One that he most remembers is his scar on the side of his face. The origins of this scar is a story to be told. Rex was defending a Republic Base on Yavin 4 when it was attacked by commando droids. Rex and his men fought valiantly, and still defended the base. But a few droids got in, and one attacked Rex and cut out his eye with a saber knive. Rex suffered extreme paon and suffering when he had to get a new electronic eye. It looks almost identical to his other eye, and works just as fine, but Rex still has the scar of where the commando droid cut him. Rex saw it as a lesson of digilance, to always be ready for a droid to strike. Rex will always be reminded of that aweful truth.

"I see this scar as a lesson, never underestimate a droid"- Rex Bacta
