ARC-8619/19

""Being an ARC Trooper is tough. You have to protect your brothers and show them what it means to be free. We have a duty to them when the war is finished.""

- Alpha-19 "Jace" upon becoming an Advanced Recon Commando. ARC-8619/19, once CT-8619 and commonly known as "Jace", was an ARC Trooper during the threat known as the Clone Wars. The clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, he was a member of both the 30th Assault Legion, led by Jedi Generals Callista Brightrazor and Jacius Railus, and served briefly under ARC trooper Alpha-13 "Ember" and the 3rd Legion. As a trooper, Jace fought in many key battles during the course of the war. Upon the formation of the 30th on Kamino, Jace joined Ghost Squad in the 30th Assault Legion's Havoc Company. He grew close to his brothers, most notably CT-3681 "Canar", and participated alongside Fox Squad and General Jacius throughout the early months of fighting. Before the Battle of Illum, Clone Commander Trigg would have Jace reassigned to Fox Squad after the details of his heroic deeds upon the battlefield.

Halfway into the war, shortly after he had recovered and achieved his rank, Jace put himself once again in harms way to protect his sergeant, Racer, from taking a blast from a shrapnel grenade thrown by commando droids. Recognized as a hero that day, by allowing Racer to fire a rocket at a key Seperatist hillside base, A-13 Ember gave Jace the honorary rank of ARC Trooper. Becoming Alpha-19, he was introduced to many elite clones that fought alongside the 3rd, and fought some of the bloodiest, destructive battles during the Outer Rim Seiges. Soon, he would sacrifice himself trying to protect his commanding officer during the initiation of the Purge. He was remembered as a hero, not only for saving his commander's life, but his selfless service
