Alpha 144

"A quote is just a saying, but a treasure is great brightess and knowledge,"

-Alpha 144 Dogma-

Alpha-144 nicknamed "Dogma" or simply "Blarthfire" was the name of a Force-sensitive Alpha-class ARC Trooper who lived during the Clone Wars. Despite his 'sneaky' actions, he was a great soldier. He had been born from the DNA of Jango Fett on 32 BBY and trained from birth. His whole training squad was also Force-sensitive, and the last one, Alpha-148, nicknamed 'Lady', had her gender altered even further, making her the only female clone of Jango Fett.

Later during the Clone Wars he participated in many battles, survivng them. He had been a great clone trooper and later Alpha-class ARC Trooper. When Order 66 was executed, Dogma was targeted by his own men because he was Force-sensitive and by this time was using two lightsabers, one he had stolen from a Sith on the planet Savek, and a second he created himself while on the planet Ilum. He survived Order 66 and went into hiding on Tatooine with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. In 0 BBY, he decided to join the Rebel Alliance, where he would meet up with the other two survivng members of his squad, Alpha-146, nicknamed "Scream", and Lady. Together the three became partners during the war againest the Galactic Empire.

Life on Kamino
CT-144, was born from the DNA of Jango Fett on 32 BBY. He was not supposed to be Force-sensitive, but a crazy Kaminoan by the name of Taun We added a Force sensitive DNA to him and five other clones who would later become his training squad. He then altered the gender of the last one to make this clone the one female clone of Jango Fett. The Prime Minister of Kamino, Lama Su, was so furious at Taun We that he ordered the Kaminoan executed for messing with the DNA of six clones. This execution would later haunt the six Force-sensitive clones for years.

Speaking of Force-sensitive, little did anyone know that there was a clone born on 33 BBY and had been Force-sensitive. His name had been Boomdodger. Boomdodger trained with the Cuy'val Dar along with the rest of his squad, Dodge Squad.

The Main Test (23 BBY)
It was a dark day on Kamino, and one of Dogma's squad members, Alpha-143 "Monster" had just discovered his Force-sensitivity. He had told the other members of his squad, named "Jedi Squad" for their Force-sensitivity, but they did not believe him. Then slowly, one by one, the other members had discovered they were Force-sensitive. Dogma was the last of his squad that was still unaware of his Force sensitivity.

Then, it all changed. During a test with the rest of Jedi Squad, Dogma accidently Force-pushed a Kaminoan who stumbled onto the course, thinking he was a droid. The Kaminoan then fell to his death after the Force push. After that, he had gotten a severe talking to by Lama Su, but he was able to avoid punishment because Dogma used a mind trick on him. He then revealed what he did to the other Jedi Squad members, who finally understood that they were all Force-sensitive, and wondered if they were any other such clones.

Soon, it was time for the final test before Jedi Squad could become ARC troopers. So all of the Jedi Squad members, Monster, Dogma, Alpha-145, nicknamed "Blaster" because of his expertise with all types of blasters, Alpha-146, nicknamed "Scream" because he always screamed at Jango Fett whenever Jedi Squad trained with him, Alpha-147, nicknamed "Lion" because of his unusally high endurance rate, and Alpha-148, nicknamed "Lady" because of her gender, went onto the training course to begin the final test. However, this course was different from the Citadel Challenge. It was a course specifically made for Jedi Squad. Instead of droids, the enemies for the challenge are visions of the presumed-dead Sith Lord Darth Maul.

When Jedi Squad saw the visions of Darth Maul, they could hardly believe their eyes. They wondered if these Darth Mauls were visions or reality. In any case, they drew out their lightsabers (Jedi Squad had been practicing lightsaber combat ever since they had discovered their Force-sensitivity, after deciding to hone their Force skills rather than let them go to waste) and began fighting the visions.

Blaster had explained that the visions had been too hard to beat. These visions were especially hard for him because he started lightsaber combat training later than the others.

Dogma said he knew but they had no choice, they had to pass or go to maintainence duties or die. Slowly, Jedi Squad defeated the visions one by one. Everytime they would defeat a vision, another would appear before them. Each vision was more powerful than the last one. Finally, one last vision of Maul appeared before them. This one was much more powerful than any other vision Jedi Squad had fought. It stood around fifty feet tall, and had eight blades instead of the usual two blades like all the other visions had. Its horns were the size of a Rakghoul, and Jedi Squad was only the size of the vision's feet. By this time, Jedi Squad was very tired from fighting all the visions of Darth Maul. At last, after an hour of fighting the vision, the "Giant Vision", as Jedi Squad called it, fell to the ground, defeated, and Jedi Squad suffered NO casualties during the test. Jango Fett, who was watching the test, said he was very impressed with Jedi Squad, and officially made them ARC Troopers, the most elite clones in the Republic Army. At this time, Lama Su ordered all ARCs to go into stasis tanks until they were required, but Jedi Squad was able to escape this "terrible act" as they called it, by using a mind trick on Lama Su.

Monster, using his Force-mind trick on Lama Su said that they will not be put in stasis tanks. Dogma, Blaster, Scream, Lion, and Lady together also waved their hands around Lama Su.

Then Lama Su said they would not be put in stasis tanks. Jedi Squad was mostly relieved that they would not suffer the same fate as their fellow ARCs, but also wondered when the first battle in the Clone Wars was going to start. In the meantime, however, Jedi Squad decided to continue practicing the ways of the Jedi Order. However, Monster was getting more and more corrupt as each day passed, and by this time was on the verge of falling to the Dark Side of the Force. Dogma however, decided to try using two sabers at once. He began practicing the form of Jar'Kai using two training sabers he randomly found in Jedi Squad's barracks. Blaster was still learning the basics of lightsaber combat, even though he had already constructed his own lightsaber. Scream was begining to practice "Force Scream", which often disturbed the other members of Jedi Squad as well as other clones. Lion decided to try the Vaapad lightsaber dueling form, which made him go close to the Dark Side of the Force just like Monster, and Lady was practicing her natural beauty on her fellow clones so she could try to seduce anyone who was her enemy.

Death Of A Friend (22 BBY)
It was a dark day on Kamino, and Jedi Squad was about to head out to Geonosis with Jedi Master Yoda. Little did they know, two of them would die, and one would defect to the Seperatists. All the troopers under their commands were boarding LAAT Gunships, which, in turn, were heading for Acclamator-class Assualt Ships. Since their final test, Master Yoda had named Jedi Squad the first ever ARC generals. Monster lead the 404th Regiment, Dogma lead the 666th Legion, which he took on as his apprentices, Blaster lead the 223rd Heavy Weapons Corps, which specialized in using heavy weapons. Scream lead Screaming Battalion, which was part of Dogma's 666th Legion, Lion lead the 335th Attack Legion, and Lady lead the 508th Regiment, using her natural beauty to put disobedient clones back into line. They would become six out of nine known clone generals, the other three being known as Atton, Shock, and Scar.

Suddenly, the engines on the gunship that was carrying Blaster failed. The Pilot, CP-4444 "All Fours" said to Blaster that they were going to crash into the water, and Blaster said there was nothing they could do about it since the engines failed. Slowly, all the parts of Blaster's gunship begin to fall off and crash into the ocean, until only the body of the gunship remained. With one final crash, what was left of Blaster's gunship sank into the ocean of Kamino, with the rest of Jedi Squad watching helplessly. Jedi Squad was sad about the loss of their squad mate, but they knew they had to go on. Monster was so angry about Blaster's death that he made plans for himself and his regiment to defect to the seperatists after the first battle of the Clone Wars. Blaster's Corps were dissolved, and its members were transferred to the commands of the rest of the force-sensitive ARCs. So, Jedi Squad said farewell to Blaster and boarded a gunship which took them to the Acclamator-class ship Relentless.

Battle Of Geonosis (22 BBY)
On the Relentless, Monster, Dogma, Scream, Lion, and Lady were all briefed on their parts of the battle by their advisor, CT-481 "Advisor" He explained to them their parts of the battle: Monster and his regiment would confront Count Dooku, the leader of the Seperatists, personally. Lion and his legion were to clear the Geonosian catacombs of any droids and Geonosians, and Dogma, Scream, Lady, and their men were to participate on the frontlines, preventing any Core Ships from escaping. Monster saw the chance to confront the count as a chance for him and his regiment to defect, but he was wise enough to reveal their plan to no one, not even the Jedi.

Dogma called his four subordinate commanders, CC-1114 "Oreo", CC-9846 "Gear", CC-3472 "Tiger", and CC-5124 "Ando", to the hangar of the Relentless, and briefed them on the battle and their part in it. Once the commanders had all heard the plan, they gathered all the men in the 666th Legion, and set off for the surface. They didn't rescue the remaining Jedi and Senator Padme' Amidala from the Petranaki Arena because they had already been rescued when the 666th Legion got onto the surface of Geonosis.

Dogma, Scream and Lady, and their men, participated on the frontlines of Geonosis during the battle, destroying any droids they encountered in the process. Dogma was right near Mace Windu when the core ships began taking off. He, Scream, Lady, and Windu ordered the SPHA tanks, as well as any avaliable troopers, to take the core ships down, and they succeded in taking at least one down, but most of the droid army was able to escape.

Suddenly, Dogma, Scream, and Lady got an incoming transmission. It was from Lion. He said there is something other than Geonosians and droids in the catacombs, and that his men were taking heavy casualties from this mysterious thing. Then, Lion was beheaded by what appeared to be a cyborg wielding a lightsaber. They were sad to see Lion die and his Legion completely eradicated, with the cyborg leaving no survivors, but they knew they had other things to do in the battle, so they decided not to pursue this mysterious cyborg. This cyborg would be revealed to the Republic on the planet Hypori later in the war, being none other than General Grievous.

Meanwhile, Monster and his regiment confronted Count Dooku in his personal hangar as he was about to leave Geonosis in his solar sailer. They said they were growing discontent with the Republic, and, instead of fighting him like advisor said, they asked him if they could join his Seperatist movement. Dooku said yes, and ordered them to board a core ship with part of the droid army so they could prepare their next move. But, a squad of Monster's men, a squad lead by sergeant CT-00-2654 "Snipe", a sergeant who was in Blaster's Corps before Blaster's death, did not like the idea of defecting to the Seperatists, so Monster and Dooku simply struck them down with no problem at all, and so the remaining traitorous troopers departed Geonosis without the knowledge of anyone in the Republic except Dogma, Scream, and Lady. The Battle Of Geonosis was a victory for the Republic that day, but for the remaining three members of Jedi Squad, this was dampened with the deaths of Blaster and Lion, and the defection of Monster and his regiment to the Seperatists.

Once they got back to the Relentless, Dogma, Scream, and Lady were told by Advisor that they would be given their own fleets because they were generals. Dogma would lead the Cruise Fleet, which included the Relentless, Scream would lead the Thruster Fleet (He had been promoted to full ARC General after the battle), and Lady would lead the General's Fleet. Each of them would also be given their own Admiral to help command their fleets with. Dogma would get Admiral Talon Vastmatter, Scream would get Admiral Connor Jones, and Lady would get Admiral Jem Sunspeed.

Rescue On Hypori (22 BBY)
It was minutes after the Battle of Muunilist, and Dogma, having been called there with Jedi Master Voolviff Monn to provide reinforcements for republic troops lead by General Kenobi and Commander Skywalker (at that time, he was apprentice to General Kenobi), was celebrating their victory on Muunilist. Just then, a fellow ARC Trooper wearing red ARC Trooper armor came up to him. Dogma knew the name of this ARC Trooper. He was known as ARC-77, also known as "Fordo". Fordo said that he needed him for an emergency. He proceeded to explain what that was. It turned out that the Republic forces on the planet Hypori needed evacuation, as they were only a few of them left, according to a transmission from there by Jedi Master Daakman Barrek. Dogma accepted this mission, so he got on blue ARC gear, which Fordo told him to wear just for this mission, met up with the other ARCs recruited for the mission, got on a gunship, and off they went to Hypori. Dogma became accquianted with a few of the other ARCs during the trip to Hypori. Some of the fellow ARCs he met were Alpha-130 "Cold", Alpha-132 "Marl", Alpha-141 "Colt", and ARC-92 "Dev ".

Soon, the gunship carrying the ARC troopers arrived on Hypori. Fordo told the pilot of the gunship, Scream, to open the doors, which he did. As the ARCs got ready, Dogma decided to look out the door to see the situation. He could not believe his eyes. It looked like B2 Super Battle Droids had circled around the ruins of an Acclamator-class Assault Ship. Dogma told this to Fordo, who said that maybe the Jedi were in the ruins. Just then, the pilot said to Fordo that they were approaching the droid perimeter, and they were undetected. Fordo told Scream to gun it, which he did so with pleasure.

When the ARC Troopers got off the gunship, named the Gun Dark, Fordo scanned for lifeforms. there were three. One in the rubble, another in the rafters, and one near their position. Colt took the one in the rubble. Marl took the one in the rafters. Dogma was one of several ARC troopers that followed Fordo to the last lifeform. When they reached the location of this lifeform, they saw general Ki-Adi-Mundi being beaten down by Grievous. Grievous was just about to finish off Mundi when he noticed Dogma and the rest of the ARCs. Immediately the ARCs opened fire on Grievous, to which he evaded all their shots with reflexes only a machine could have. Then, he got down and began killing the ARCs. He killed four of them before Fordo called for backup. Dogma feared it would never come, but come it did.

The backup turned out to be the Gun Dark, and it landed right in front of Grievous. Grievous and the pilot of the Gun Dark, who was none other than Scream, stared at eachother for a few moments before Scream and all the ARCs except Dogma opened fire on Grievous. Dogma activated his training lightsabers, and began to engage the cyborg in lightsaber combat before Grievous escaped from Dogma, overwhelmed with blaster fire from the Gun Dark and the ARCs. Mundi told them to shoot him down, which they did, but he escaped afterwards.

General Mundi wanted to pursue the general, but Fordo told him they couldn't. The survivors would die, and they did not have time. So the survivors got on the Gun Dark, where Colt and Marl, along with the survivors they found, Jedi Generals Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti, who were already on, and left the ruins and departed Hypori. As they left, Grievous told them to run, and they had only prolonged the inevitable. Little did they know, there was a fourth jedi survivor they had forgotten about. His name was Jedi Master K'Kruk. He had engaged Grievous before the ARC Troopers arrived to rescue them, but had been slashed at the stomach by the cyborg general. He had entered a healing trance, which slowed his heart rate to barely noticable levels, which is why they missed him and left him for dead. Eventually, K'Kruk managed to get off of Hypori and rejoin the fight againest the Seperatists, and Dogma would eventually seek him out to learn the healing trance. After the rescue, the Jedi Council gave Dogma the choice on what color his ARC gear would have. Dogma chose his favorite color, yellow. Scream was also given the choice, and he settled on blue, while Lady, who had been given that choice earlier, chose her ARC gear to have the color red in it.

Space Battle Over Christophsis (21 BBY)
The comlink beeped as Dogma was about to leave his barracks on Coruscant. He had not participated in a battle since the Rescue On Hypori, and he was looking for a fight. He answered the beeping to see what or who was contacting him. It was Admiral Vastmatter who was contacting him. He said that General Obi-Wan Kenobi needed help with his and General Anakin Skywalker's plan to retake Christophsis, a crystal-like planet that had been captured by the Seperatists. Dogma accepted this mission, so he got on his armor, got Commander Oreo and his battalion, Striker Battalion, to come along with him, and off they went aboard the Relentless to Christophsis.

When the Cruise Fleet arrived at Christophsis, they were told by Kenobi that Anakin had used a prototype Stealth Ship to destroy the enemy commander, the infamous Admiral Trench, but he could use their help in destroying the remmants of Trench's fleet. Dogma said he could help, and Kenobi allowed him to be in the



space battle. He got into his personal Jedi starfighter, and set out to destroy the fleet remmants along with the space squadron he commanded during the battle, Fighter Squadron. During the battle, Dogma used his personal Jedi starfighter, while the rest of Fighter Squadron used the new Y-Wing Bombers. With their leader gone, Trench's fleet was in complete disarray, which Fighter Squadron used to their advantage. They focused on the command ship, as its missles were causing casualties for some of the other squadrons helping to break the blockade.

Eventually, the remmants of Trench's fleet were in full retreat, so Dogma and Fighter Squadron went to Kenobi's flagship, the Negotiator. Dogma asked if Fighter Squadron could become part of the Cruise Fleet. The members of Fighter Squadron agreed with him. They said that Dogma was an excellent leader. So Kenobi's admiral, Admiral Wullf Yularen, put Fighter Squadron as part of the Cruise Fleet, and made Dogma the leader of the squadron.

Battle on the Surface (21 BBY)
After the breaking of the blockade, Dogma, Commander Oreo, and Striker Battalion landed on the surface of Christophsis. They were amazed by how beautiful the planet looked despite the destruction brought upon it by the Seperatists. It had large skyscrapers with lots of crystals in it. In fact, the whole place looked like it was made entirely from crystals. Even the ground of Christophsis was made from crystals. These crystals were crucial to the war effort, so it was important not to lose this battle.

Traitor In The Midst
Dogma soon met up with Generals Kenobi and Skywalker, who told him that Sergeant Slick and his platoon had found a suitable site to ambush the droid army lead by General Whorm Loathsom. This site was two crystal-like towers called the North and South Towers. Dogma was with most of the forces in the South Tower, while Commander Oreo, along with a platoon of Striker Battalion, General Skywalker, and Captain CT-7567 'Rex', were in the North Tower. However, just when Slick and General Kenobi's clone commander, CC-2224 'Cody' returned from a scouting mission, that the droid army came to them, split up, and went into the South Tower, ambushing the troopers in that tower, including Dogma.

Kenobi ordered the mission to be aborted because of the ambush. Skywalker asked Kenobi what was going on. Kenobi responded that they were cut off, and the droids were onto them. Dogma and what was left of the Republic forces in the South Tower were getting overwhelmed by the droids when General Skywalker, Captain Rex, Commander Oreo, the platoon of Striker Battalion, and five men serving under Rex, arrived in the South Tower, having used cables to get there from the North Tower. Oreo told Dogma that a gunship piloted by clone pilot Hawk is on its way to extract them, and that they must get to the top of the South Tower inorder to be extracted. When what was left of the Republic forces made it to the top of the South Tower, they were once again ambushed by the droids, who had followed them to the top, being lead by Tactical Droid TJ-55. They fought until Hawk came with the gunship, then, after trooper Gus ripped off TJ-55's head, left the South Tower and went back to the Republic base.

Finding Out The Traitor
At the Republic base, Cody, Rex, and Dogma examined TJ-55's head by accessing its memory banks to find out how the droids knew their plan. All that it revealed to them was the possibility that there was a traitor in their ranks before it got fried beyond repair. Just then, generals Kenobi and Skywalker arrived at the room where Cody, Rex, and Dogma had been examining TJ-55's head. The three clones told the Jedi what they had discovered, and said to them that there was a possibility of there being a traitor in this base. The Jedi chose to investigate by going to the Seperatist base nearby, hoping to find out who knew their plan, while the clones would stay behind and find out if the traitor really was in the ranks of the clones.

After the Jedi left, Cody noticed that someone had left his comlink on. He deduced that someone had been listening to everything they said. Just then, Rex noticed a clone crouched in the hallway. Dogma saw the clone too. He thought that this was the clone who had been eavesdropping on them during their conversation with the Jedi. The clone noticed the trio and ran. Rex, Cody, and Dogma gave chase until the clone went into another hallway. Cody said that he would follow him, and that Rex and Dogma take the west corridor. At the end of the corridor, Rex and Dogma noticed a shadow of a clone. They guessed that this was the shadow of the clone who had listened to their conversation. So, Rex got out his blaster, and Dogma activated his training lightsabers that he used until the Mission to Savek, and prepared to take down the clone, only to find out the shadow turned out to be that of Cody's. They concluded that the clone must have gone into the mess hall. They went in, only to find out there were lots of clones.

When the three clones went back to the command center, they decided that the traitor was one of their brothers, but they didn't know which one. Luckily for them, general Skywalker's astromech droid R2-D2 was in the room as well. So Rex, Cody, and Dogma called on R2 to search for any sign regarding a traitor. After some hard work, R2 found a weak frequenty pattern, the result from the traitor contacting the Seperatist leader, Asajj Ventress, every few days. What was interesting was that the pattern was coming from only one terminal in the whole base: the barracks of clone sergeant Slick and his men. Immediately, the three clones deduced that one of Slick's men was the traitor, so they decided to go to the barracks and question all of Slick's men.

Twenty minutes later, Dogma, Rex, and Cody were talking to Slick about the fact that one of his men was a traitor. At this moment, all of Slick's men, clones by the names of Jester, Punch, Sketch, Gus, and Chopper, arrived at the barracks, having been called there by Cody. Although Slick said he would like to have a few minutes with his men first, the three commanding officers proceeded to question his men anyway. What was revealed to them was that Jester was cleaning his weapon, Punch and Sketch were in the mess hall, and Gus was in the infirmary, proving his alibi. The last one, Chopper, claimed that he was in the mess hall, until Sketch said that Chopper came a lot later, after everyone else. They then asked Chopper where he was before he went to the mess hall. Chopper replied with nowhere, just walking around. Then however, Chopper was forced to reveal the truth. He had been taking battle droid fingers from the battlefield, which was illegal due to war protocol, and had been making them into a necklace at the south exit, feeling like they owed him. Slick then scolded Chopper for first lying about where he was, then taking forbidden items from the battlefield, making the clones think Chopper was a traitor, to which he denied. He then got into his sergeant's face, saying that while he was hiding at the south exit, every other clone turned right, towards the barracks and the mess, while he turned left, towards the command center. Then, Slick accidently revealed that he knew the Jedi were gone, resulting in him being confronted by Cody, Rex, Dogma, the newly arrived Commander Oreo, and his own men.

Apprehending Slick
Slick was forced to act. He punched Cody, Oreo, and Chopper before fleeing the barracks, setting the charges to the weapons depot in the process. The two commanders, the captain, and the ARC general chased after him, leaving Slick's men in shock that their leader betrayed every one of them. They eventually tracked Slick to the weapons depot, where the gunships, the large AT-TE walkers, and most of the small AT-RT walkers were. They had something by the gunships, which Cody thought was Slick. But when the quartet got there, they only discovered explosives that were about to detonate, presumably planted there by Slick. They got out of the way just as the explosives detonated, taking out the weapons depot in the process. The four clones wondered how would they be able to find Slick, until Gus came to them, telling them that Slick went into the command center. They told Gus and the other clones to put the base on lockdown, while they went into the command center to apprehend Slick.

When they arrived at the command center, they did not see Slick. So, they decided to act out a scene while talking to eachother on pretending they were Slick. They then noticed that Slick was hiding in the vents. So they acted out the scene in order to bait him out of the vents. Cody and Dogma pretended that they would stay to get the power back up, having pretended that Slick turned off the power, and taking the ammo out of Cody's blaster in the process, while Rex and Oreo pretended to go to the south exit. Slick took the bait, as he went out of the vents, grabbed Cody's blaster, and aimed it at his and Dogma's heads, only for Cody to tell him that it was empty. At that moment, Rex and Oreo reentered the room, their blasters aimed at Slick's head. After a brief exchange of words, Rex, Dogma, Oreo, and Cody all engaged Slick in hand to hand combat. Slick deprived Rex, Oreo, and Cody of their blasters and Dogma of his lightsabers. As they were all veteran troopers, they were evenly matched in fighting skills. Eventually however, Slick was knocked out by Cody. While Slick was knocked out, Rex put Slick in cuffs, while Dogma retrieved his training lightsabers and Rex's, Oreo's, and Cody's blasters.

When Slick awoke again, he saw that the four clones who had apprehended him were taking him to the brig, saying that freedom, which he wanted so bad, was gonna have to wait. About this time, the Jedi returned, having engaged Ventress herself. They were displeased at the fact that it was Slick who was the traitor. Slick replied by verbally abusing Kenobi and Skywalker for what he believed was 'making the clones their slaves.' He just wanted something more. Dogma replied that all he had to do to get it was put the rest of his brothers all at risk, and that he betrayed every one of them. Two troopers escorted the traitorous sergeant to his cell, while Oreo, Dogma, Rex, and Cody briefed them on what happened while they were gone, and that the only things they were able to salvage from the weapons depot were the heavy cannons. Kenobi and Skywalker replied that it was good news, because there were about a thousand battle droids on their way here. The four clones decided to prepare for battle, and they set off to construct defenses and gather all their remaining men.

The Actual Battle and the New Padawan
The Battle of Christophsis had been raging for hours. Thr first wave had been defeated, but the second wave, lead by general Whorm Loathsom, was on its way. The Jedi had sent the supply ship back for supplies and reinforcements, as the 501st Legion, the 212th Attack Battalion, and Striker Battalion were sustaining moderate casualties. While Anakin, Rex, and a squad of the 501st were preparing to ambush the huge spider droids that were in the wave, Obi-Wan, Cody, Dogma and Oreo were engaging the droids to keep them occupied. Eventually, the second wave of the droid army was forced to retreat, deciding to set up their deflector shields because of the sustained barrage of fire from the Republic's heavy cannons. The Jedi and troopers were given a rest before the next wave of droids came when a shuttle came to the surface. Obi-Wan thought that this shuttle contained reinforcements, but it turned out to not be the case.

When the ship landed in front of the jedi and Dogma, it opened its doors. It did not contain reinforcements as the jedi had hoped. Instead, it contained a very young jedi, around 13-14 years of age. Her clothes looked like they were made for battle, and she was a togruta. After a brief holochat with Master Yoda, during which the signal was jammed by the droids, she introduced herself. Her name was Ahsoka Tano, and she was assigned to Master Skywalker to be his padawan, not Kenobi as Skywalker first thought. Skywalker continued to think that there must have been some mistake, as it was Kenobi who wanted a padawan. Ahsoka however, made it clear. She was assigned to Anakin Skywalker and he was to supervise her jedi training.

Mission to Asation (20 BBY)
Dogma was in his barracks on Coruscant when General Kenobi called him. He said he was to go to the Gree planet Asation. Apparently a long thought to be dead group of renegade Sith lords, called the Dread Masters, had recently found a way to open something the Gree called a Hypergate, and that creatures were emerging from the hypergate and causing terror on Asation. The transmission was then cut off, but Dogma accepted the mission. He called up Oreo and the 10th Platoon, a division of Striker Battalion, Briefed them on the mission, and off they went in the Thunderclap to Asation.

When Dogma and the 10th Platoon arrived on Asation, they were fully briefed on what was happening by Administer General Lalat'k of the Gree Enclave and clone commander CC-8369 "Heigor", the leader of the republic forces on Asation. When Dogma asked what was a hypergate, Lalat'k explained. A hypergate linked two points in the galaxy through a rift in hyperspace. In this case, something hostile was on the other side. The Gree believed that something, one of their former enemies, had returned because of the Dread Masters. Heigor then said that Dogma, Oreo, and the 10th Platoon were the Republic's last hope in eliminating this threat, as six of his best squads had already been killed by six-armed beasts he didn't have a name for.

Armor and Equipment
Dogma's phase one armor consisted of a white and gray helmet with yellow stripes, a yellow pauldron, a yellow Kama, and yellow armor. Later, during the first half of the war, Dogma added some white lights to his gauntlets and boots. This made these parts of his armor look like they had some bling in them. When the phase two armor was issued to the clone Troopers and ARC Troopers, Dogma changed his ARC armor color to all black with a black helmet that had a white skull pattern around its visor.

Personality and Traits
Dogma was a loyal ARC Trooper, willing to do and use anything to achieve victory. He had faith that the Republic would win the war until Order 66 was executed. At that time, he lost his faith and had so low confidence in himself that he thought the new Galactic Empire would last forever.

Out of all the members of the 666th Legion, Dogma trusted no other member than his commander, CC-1114, nicknamed "Oreo". The two became an unbeatable team, to the point where Dogma trained Oreo in lightsaber combat. This brotherly relationship ended when Oreo was killed by Savage Opress during the Skirmish On Florrum in 20 BBY. While Dogma recieved a new commander, CC-9952 "Cole" afterwards, he never got over the loss of Oreo.

Besides being the leader of the 666th Legion, Dogma also practiced lightsaber combat in his spare time, often dueling against friends and members of the Jedi Council. He originally used two training lightsabers with green blades, but after his mission on Savek, during which his training sabers were destroyed, he took a lightsaber from the sith he defeated on that planet and began using it. He used only that saber until he participated in a Battle on Ilum in the year 21 BBY. During that battle, Dogma went into a cave on that planet and created a second lightsaber. This one was painted brown and had a curved back to it, much like the lightsaber of Count Dooku. This lightsaber also had a red crystal in it, as does the sith saber he has. He used these sabers with their red crystals in them until after the Skirmish on Florrum. At that time, he changed the crystals in his sabers to blue crystals to honor the memory of the fallen Oreo.

As for what forms of lightsaber combat he was a master in, Dogma was a master of all seven forms of lightsaber combat, including the rarely seen Vaapad form, but he specialized in a combining of forms VI and I. He was also a master of many force powers, including Force Push, Force Pull, Force Choke, and Force Speed.

Dogma was also a good teacher, as he was able to train Oreo in lightsaber combat, and taught students at Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order the ways of the Jedi. Though he was rough in his teaching methods, the

result from being trained by Jango Fett, he was also helpful, willing to help any Padawan, civilian, or trooper in need. Dogma owned many ships during his time in the GAR and the Rebel alliance. These included a yellow Y-wing Bomber, a yellow Jedi starfighter, and a V-19 Torrent Fighter. However, his favorite was a Rendili Hyperworks BT-7 ship he called "Thunderclap". This ship was at least 3,000 years old when he found it, abandoned, in a field on Saleucami in 21 BBY. Dogma used this ship for the rest of the war all the way through his time in the New Jedi Order.

Unlike most clones, Dogma had his own astromech droid. Her name was R2-KT or as he called her "Katie". Dogma adopted Katie between the Mission to Asation and the Discovery on Belsavis after she had lost her previous master, Jedi Master Pong Krell, who had died in the Battle of Umbara. Katie was always loyal to Dogma, even after he was betrayed by his own brothers. By the year 44 ABY, Katie was still alive, and was still loyal to Dogma.
