Andrew Butlerz



"Today we fight for more than the republic, today we fight for all our brothers back home. Understood." - Captain Rex (CT-7567)

"I want you troopers to remember—we're shoulder-to-shoulder on those front lines. Brothers! And sometimes we may quarrel, but no matter what, we are united. Rule one: we fight together." ― ARC Commander Colt

-Andrew Butlerz-

This page is based off a character on Clone Wars Adventures.

Andrew Butlerz, known as ARC-5150 was a Delta-Class ARC Commander/Commando in the Grand Army Of The Republic, during the Clone Wars and so forth. He also served on both factions during the Galactic Civil War

Andrew was a general of the 501st Legion and Larcon Legion, which were both the most Elite squads there were. He later created his own squad called "Shadow Tech Legion." He also joined "Survivors Of The Siege" for a brief time. Then he later rejoined "Larcon Legion" for the rest of his career. He (along with the legions) fought many difficult, dangerous, and most excruciating battles to victory.

Andrew also had a special ability: he looked like he was about 24 when he was not. It was just how he was born he aged until he hit about 24 the stopped aging all together.

Early Life
"You are a clone and a solider in the Republic army!" -Colonel Meebur Gascon

CT-5150 nicknamed "Andrew" was born 32 BBY on Kamino. But he was a rare case, he was not a clone but a normal human! However, he was treated and trained the same as the rest of the clones and troopers. As a young ARC trooper cadet Andrew was trained by Jango Fett as well as Alpha-17.

At the age of 5 years old, Andrew was assigned to his training squad (one that he will be in for the rest of his training). The squads name was "Alpha Squad" and there were a total of 5 members in it. There was CT-5012 Rex, "the smart one", CT-5243 Jek, the weapon specialtist, CT-5043 Spammer, the sniper, and CT-5302 Gamma, the demolitions specialist, and then there was CT-5150 Andrew, the leader of the squad.

-10 Years Later-
"Here we go guys, lets hope we pass." -Andrew (CT-5150) to Alpha Squad

The cadets of "Alpha Squad" now all are 15 years of age, are attempting to complete the training combat test "The Citadel." Above the arena, observing the cadets were Jedi Master Shaak Ti, ARC Troopers Colt, Havoc, and Blitz. They were all very impressed with how "Alpha Squad" did on the training course. So they all "graduated" their training and were sent to the front lines.

They all stayed together as "Alpha Squad" but the only difference was they were an elite team within the 501st legion and served in their first real battle which was "The First Battle of Geonosis."

The First Battle Of Geonosis
"So what's the mission sir?" "We're going to help reinforce our new Jedi Generals on Geonosis." -Andrew (CT-5150) to Captain Rex (CT-7567)

Andrew and Alpha Squad are getting their orders from Captain Rex. Their Mission- To destroy all underground droid factories. "Sir Yes Sir!" They all say to Captain Rex. Now with their orders, they fly in gunships to help aid the Jedi in the Patranaki Arena. They fly their new generals to the battleground and help assist them until they were needed to complete their mission. They helped with the fighting for about an hour then, they got the all clear to complete their mission.

Alpha squad is now heading to complete their mission objectives which are- to destroy the last of the underground droid factories. They head to their first target. They enter through the doorway into the geonosian catacombs. Hundreds of geonosians are sleeping in the hallways of the catacombs, so using their stealth training, Alpha Squad was able to bypass all the geonosians.

They then headed to the reactors of the factory and set about 50 thermal detonators set to blow 8 minutes after they are set. In result, Alpha squad gets the heck out of there not caring if they wake any geonosians. They did this about 4 more times. Then, as a result all factories are destroyed and the battle of geonosis is won for the republic. And as a result the "Clone Wars" began.

Also Andrew was promoted to ARC Commander/Commando (which means his CT number was redesignated from CT-5150 to ARC-5150) for his valiant work on Geonosis.

The Early Start Of The Clone Wars
"Begun the clone war has" - Yoda Once the clone wars began he was reassigned to the squad "Larcon Legion" which he served for the next 2 years but he still stayed in Alpha squad within the 501st. The first battle he ever had with Larcon Legion was "The Battle Of Muunilist." The next battle he had with the 501st and Alpha Squad was "The Battle Of Christopshis."

The Battle Of Muunilist
"ARC Troopers, you have been selected for this task because you are the best, the elite. You all know what you to do. The success of your mission is our key to a swift victory. When you get into position send word as planned then I will join you." - Obi-Wan Kenobi to ARC Troopers

Aboard a Republic Acclamator-Assault Ship, Andrew's ARC trooper squad within Larcon Legion was assigned to help ARC Captain Fordo with his mission during Battle of Muunilist. They took a shuttle to Fordo's ship and met with him to discuss their mission. They had a brief meeting with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Now that their fleet has reached the surface of Muunilist every trooper boards gunships to goes down to the planet.

The ARC troopers gunship however has special markings and modifications. They fly in with the rest of the gunships but General Kenobi gives them the orders to begin with their mission. Their gunship is flying through the city trying get to their objective point, but then they are shot out of the air by a rocket fired by a battle droid. They end up crashing in one of the streets about 2 miles from their objective point. Most of the troopers survive, they lost their 2 pilots and 1 soldier. They exit the crash and burned gunship. Then, all of a sudden they are sniped by battle droids. The ARC troopers own and destroyed all the snipers via rocket launcher

s and lost 1 soldier in the battle. They start walking to their objective point. About 1 and 1 1/2 miles in they are ambushed by a AAT. They fight it for about 5 minutes before one ARC trooper sneaks behind it, blast through it and destroys the AAT.



Now they are on top of a building and can see their objective point- A large enemy tower with a giant blast cannon. Then, Fordo informs General Kenobi of their status and position, and he tells them to move on to the next phase of the mission. They walk down back to the streets only to encounter a squad of super and regular battle droids. They fight them off and start to head to the enemy tower. They approach the bottom of it and throw ascension cables to lift them up to the top. They encounter another squad of battle droids when they get to the top. Then they get on the cannon and put about 30 explosives on it. Then set more ascension cables to get to the very top of the tower. They climb up while the cannon blows up below them. When they reach the top they see the rest of the gunships and republic troops thus concluding their mission.

Then, Andrew with the rest of Larcon Legion on the planet returned to their cruiser to go to their next battle.

The Battle Of Christopshis
"What's our plan of attack sir?", "Follow me."

-Captain Rex (CT-7567) and Anakin Skywalker

Andrew, Alpha Squad and the members of the 501st legion are called to Christopshis from an impending Separatist attack.

The Battle of Christophsis took place at the planet Christophsis in 22 BBY, seven weeks into the Clone Wars. Responding to a plea for help from the world's inhabitants, the Galactic Republic and the Jedi High Council dispatched Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and Admiral Wullf Yularen with a clone trooper contingent which was the 501st legion (which included Andrew and Alpha Squad) and the 212th Attack Battalion from the Grand Army of the Republic to liberate Christophsis. After penetrating Confederate Admiral Trench's massive naval blockade of the planet and delivering supplies to Senator Bail Prestor Organa's refugee camp on the surface via an experimental stealth ship, the Republic forces attempted to ambush the Confederate battle droid army from two towers in one of the plazas of the capital city, Crystal City. Acting on information from one of its spies, Clone Sergeant Slick, the Separatists foiled the Republic's attack. Despite the turn of events, the Jedi and clones managed to escape and retreated back to their base.

-Looking For A Traitor-
Alerted to the possibility of a spy amongst their men, Skywalker and Kenobi went to search for more information behind enemy lines while Clone Commander CC-2224 and Clone Captain CT-7567—nicknamed "Cody" and "Rex," respectively—stayed at the base to root out the agent. Upon arriving at the Confederacy base, Skywalker and Kenobi confronted the Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress and discovered the presence of an invasion force in far greater strength than they had originally believed. Back at the Republic base, Slick was revealed to be the spy and sabotaged the Republic's weapons depot, destroying most of the Republic's supplies, before being apprehended by Rex, Andrew, and Cody.

-The Final Battle-
Raising the stakes with its full strength, the main body of Confederate troops launched an assault on the Republic forces. After several days, the Separatists were forced to retreat. When Loathsom mounted a second assault, his forces' advance was halted by the Republic's heavy cannons, and he and his droids pulled back to their base to set up a deflector shield to counter the Republic's artillery. Yularen and the Republic fleet were driven away from Christophsis by the renewed Separatist blockade of the planet, but Skywalker's newly assigned Jedi Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, was able to land on the world. Loathsom and the Confederacy mounted yet another assault, this time advancing behind their shield, which effectively negated the clone artillery. While Kenobi, Rex, the 501st Legion, Alpha Squad, and the 212th Attack Battalion defended the heavy cannons, Skywalker and Tano proceeded to sabotage the Confederacy's shield generator. After Kenobi pretended to surrender to Loathsom to gain time for his comrades to complete their mission, Skywalker and Tano were able to eliminate the shield. Yularen returned to the system with Jedi Grand Master Yoda and a fortified fleet and broke through the Separatist blockade, driving the enemy armada away from Christophsis. In addition, the Republic's renewed artillery usage proved instrumental in annihilating the Separatists in Crystal City. Kenobi captured Loathsom, and the Republic emerged victorious and landed further reinforcements to secure the victory.

The Battle Of Teth
"Teth? That's wildspace, the droids aren't even in that sector." -Anakin Skywalker to Yoda

-Intial Assault-
Andrew, Alpha Squad and the 501st did not get a break after the Battle Of Christophsis. They had to immediately help Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his new apprentice Ahsoka Tano, to rescue Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta.

They took a Acclamator-Assault ship to the planets surface. When they reached the atmosphere they took gunships to the monastery. Unable to land at the Teth monastery because of the presence of battle droids guarding it, Skywalker's and Tano's forces were deployed in the jungle below and commenced a vertical assault up the cliff holding the monastery using two AT-TE walkers.

After Skywalker and Tano had defeated the droids and retrieved the Huttlet, Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress led several more Confederate units on a renewed assault of the monastery, and the Republic forces were forced to barricade themselves inside the stronghold. The two Jedi along with the help of Andrew and Alpha Squad went to find a secondary exit to escape the monastery, hoping to find medical support for the Huttlet, while Clone Captain CT-7567, nicknamed "Rex," stayed to command Torrent Company.

-Assisting The Jedi-
Andrew and Alpha Squad went along with Anakin and Ahsoka to help them find a second exit of the monastery. With the help of Anakins astromech R2-D2, they found a hangar. They headed there and when they did they called for a gunship. Once the gunship arrived, Andrew and Alpha Squad managed to get in when a Vulture droid came and shot the gunship off the hangar leaving Anakin and Ahsoka.

-Almost Dying-
The gunship crashed but luckily everyone survived. When they got everyone out of the wreckage, Andrew tried to reach Captain Rex via comlink. Unfortunately, Captain Rex and 5 others were captured by the squad of battle droids. When General Kenobi's forces came to the planet, Andrew called for a gunship and were they picked up by Commander Cody and then headed back to the monastery to assist Captain Rex. When they got there Rex was in a firefight with the battle droids. Cody, Andrew and Alpha Squad landed and destroyed the rest of the droids thereby finishing the battle.

Andrew was called away for another battle shortly after.

The Battle Of Ryloth
"The Twi'leks on that planet can't wait forever, Master. The longer the Techno Union keeps control of Ryloth, the more difficult it'll be to free them." "I agree. We don't have much time." ―Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu

-Assistig Kenobi's Forces-


Andrew and his newly formed "Omega Squad" within Larcon Legion were called to aid on Ryloth. After receiving pleas for assistance from Ryloth's senator, Orn Free Taa, the Jedi High Council dispatched Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, to eliminate the Separatist blockade and make way for clone trooper forces from the Grand Army of the Republic to land on and liberate Ryloth. Despite heavy losses to their fleet, Skywalker and Tano were able to break the blockade, allowing Republic troop transports—commanded by High Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu—to safely enter the Ryloth system. Once Kenobi, Clone Commander CC-2224, Andrew and Omega Squad, and the Republic unit Ghost Company had destroyed Nabat's proton cannons, Windu was able to land with his transports.

-Assisting Windu's Forces-
Omega squad later helped to retake Lessu. Mace Windu, Clone Commander CC-6454, nicknamed "Ponds", Omega Squad and Lightning Squadron suffered losses in a battle with Separatist tanks en route to retake Lessu, leading Windu to enlist the help of Sham Syndulla and his freedom fighters. After Tambor began a firebombing campaign of the Twi'lek villages, Syndulla finally set aside his previous quarrels with Taa and joined forces with Windu and the Republic. Once Windu and ARF troopers Razor and Stak were able to activate Lessu's plasma bridge, the only access to the city, the combined forces of Omega Squad, Lightning Squadron and freedom fighters entered the city and routed the Confederacy in what became known as the Battle of Lessu. Tambor's own tactical droid, TA-175, escaped with the Emir's shuttle and left him stranded, and Windu was able to capture Tambor. Thus concluding the battle for Ryloth.

The Second Battle Of Geonosis
"I can not beleive we are back here again." "It is unfortunate, the resistance from the native Geonosians were stonger than we anticipated." - Obi-Wan Kenobi to Ki-Audi Mundi

-Landing At Point Rain-
Andrew, Alpha squad and the 501st were called to take Geonosis- again. The Republic's capital ships descended upon Geonosis and began to disgorge squadrons of BTL-B Y-wing starfighters, LAAT/i gunships, and LAAT carriers ferrying All Terrain Tactical Enforcers to the surface in heavy numbers. While Clone Captain Breaker and a Jedi Knight led the Y-wing starfighter squadrons in repelling groups of Geonosian Nantex-class territorial defense starfighters, Kenobi's assault force was the first to take flight, with Kenobi leading the way in his gunship. Kenobi and his gunships were met with heavy resistance from Geonosian J-1 semi-autonomous proton cannons and LR1K sonic cannon emplacements below, as well as the Nantex-class starfighters from above, but they were able to push through with covering fire from the Republic Y-wing starfighters, which also targeted the Separatist gunners on the ground. With Kenobi's forces underway, Skywalker's detachment—including Rex, Andrew, Alpha squad and Tano—departed shortly afterward, followed by the assault group led by Mundi and Jet from Yularen's flagship, the Resolute. Once all three strike forces had launched, Yularen recalled his fighter squadrons to the Republic's command ship for new orders. The gunship carrying Skywalker, Tano, Andrew, and Rex was one of the first to be shot down, but the group managed to break free from the wreckage and use the fallen craft as cover from the nearby Geonosian gunners and blaster cannons. Mundi, meanwhile, ordered Cody to land the AT-TE walkers shortly before Mundi's own gunship fell to heavy fire as well.



The Republic gunships are ravaged by Geonosian gunners while attempting to land. Cody landed with his men and AT-TE walkers to be greeted by incoming Nantex-class fighters. Although Cody advised Kenobi not to land because of the danger posed by the Separatist fighters, Kenobi and his gunship were forced down when the craft was targeted by the Geonosians. The gunship hit the surface and skidded across the ground before coming to a stop, leaving only Kenobi and trooper Trapper alive. An injured Mundi and Jet pulled themselves out of the remains of their gunship, which was just one of many to have been shot down in the area. Jet reported that Kenobi's forces had been the only ones to reach the landing zone, while Skywalker's AT-TE walkers had been decimated in his ongoing firefight with the Geonosians; Jet noted that Skywalker would continue to press on to the rendezvous point to meet with Kenobi. Mundi ordered the injured men among his own special ops forces to be loaded onto the AT-TE walkers with the objective of pressing on to make for a nearby bridge and join the rest of the troops at the rendezvous site.

Elsewhere, while overseeing the battle against the Geonosians in the area alongside Skywalker and Tano, Rex contacted Cody to request reinforcements for Skywalker but found that Kenobi would be unable to give support, as Kenobi's gunship had been shot down. Left on their own, Skywalker and Tano provided cover for Rex, Andrew and the rest of their troops to rush the Separatist blaster cannons.

Skywalker, Tano, Rex, Andrew, and their men arrived at the heavily entrenched fortress and were forced to take cover from the assailing B1 battle droids and B2 super battle droids high above. With the large amounts of incoming laser barrages, Skywalker and Tano each took a backpack filled with thermal detonators and ran toward the adjacent cliff, using grappling hooks to scale the face in order to set their charges to topple the wall. With the rest of the troops continuing to exchange fire with the battle droids, Rex and Andrew joined Skywalker and Tano on the top of the barrier, helping them to sever a pair of droidekas that were soon deployed from hatches along the barrier. Once Skywalker and Tano had tossed their primed detonator–full backpacks into the hatches, they, Andrew and Rex jumped off the wall shortly before it exploded. The Jedi used the Force to slow their fall and that of Rex and Andrew before landing and employing the same method to hold back the rubble. With the wall destroyed, Skywalker, Tano, and their forces pressed toward Point Rain. Skywalker, Tano, Rex, Andrew and their squad, who were making their way to Point Rain, happened upon the clifftop cave where Mundi's forces were just finishing off the smoldering Geonosians. Joining forces with Mundi, Skywalker contacted Yularen to request air support for the push to Point Rain, where Kenobi was in dire need of assistance. Having spent the time reallocating resources since Jet's previous request, Yularen dispatched an available Y-wing squadron to Point Rain to reinforce Kenobi's depleted strike force, which had become separated from the Republic's main forces. Commanding the small fighter contingent, Captain Breaker and his Jedi Knight compatriot led the Y-wing bombers through small arms fire from the Geonosians' LR1K and proton cannons and Armored Assault Tanks. After cutting through the Separatist ground artillery, the Y-wing squadron proceeded to Point Rain, where Kenobi and Cody were suffering numerous casualties at the hands of the Geonosians; the warrior insurgents had surrounded the Republic's staging area and were initiating flying attacks from the sky and speeder assaults on the ground. With his men pushed on all sides, Kenobi prepared to take up arms alongside his men in what he believed would be a final stand against the Geonosians. Then, Skywalker, Tano, and Mundi arrive to reinforce Kenobi's depleted strike force at Point Rain. At that moment, the Y-wing bombers arrived at Point Rain, dropping their munitions on the advancing Separatist tanks and halting the Geonosians' advance. With the rest of his troops pressing on, Kenobi was greeted by the arrival of Skywalker, Tano, Mundi, and their strike teams.

The Jedi regrouped and convened with their clone officers on the task still at hand: destroying the factories' shield generator at the Ray Shield Fortress, as the Geonosians were now finally in retreat. It was decided that Skywalker would lead a small squad into the shield and jam the Geonosians' scanners, rendering them unable to target the incoming AT-TE walkers. Once the walkers had taken out the shield generator, Mundi would then bring in the rest of the troops with the gunships. With little time to spare, the Republic forces quickly moved into position; after everything was ready, Skywalker and Tano initiated their attack, charging through the shield with their men. Though pressed with heavy fire from the Geonosians, the Jedi and clones pushed through the fortress's defenses and took cover in an outcrop close to the generator. From there, the team threw EMP grenades at the proton and LR1K cannons, temporarily disabling the Separatist guns.

Unopposed by the enemy's heavy fire, Cody led the AT-TE walkers in their march through the shield, and the walkers concentrated their fire on the shield generator and its artillery stations. As the shield was deactivated, Mundi, Rex, Andrew and their gunships landed with additional clone reinforcements to secure the Geonosian facility. All of the Geonosians at the Ray Shield Fortress were forced to surrender, and the injured Kenobi and Mundi returned to the fleet with the rest of the wounded for treatment. Left in charge of the Republic forces, Skywalker set out for Poggle the Lesser's primary droid foundry with Tano, Rex, Andrew and their assault force.

-Receiving Reinforcements-
As Poggle's primary droid foundry neared completion, Skywalker's forces formed a staging area a short way from the only bridge that crossed the deep canyon isolating the heavily fortified installation. Anticipating stiff Geonosian resistance, Republic commanders dispatched Luminara Unduli and her Padawan, Barriss Offee, with reinforcements for Skywalker's assault. Leading the way in their gunship, Unduli, Offee, and Clone Commander CC-1004, nicknamed "Gree," arrived at the Republic's staging area with more troops and gunships, and Unduli and Offee met with Skywalker and Tano to finalize a plan for the impending attack on the droid foundry. Although Skywalker had been preparing for a direct assault on the factory via the bridge, Unduli proposed an alternative plan that would minimize their casualties: using the catacombs under the facility, a team could infiltrate the building and plant explosives at its main reactor, thus effectively destroying the foundry from the inside. As Unduli had already had her Padawan memorize all 200 of the labyrinth's internal junctions, the mission to infiltrate the droid factory fell to Tano and Offee. Skywalker and Unduli, meanwhile, would launch a forward assault on the facility's main entrance to distract Poggle and allow the Padawans to complete their assignment. With their strategy in place, the Jedi set their plan into motion, synchronizing chronometers so that the Padawans' progress could be monitored.

-Assisting The Padawans-
Geonosians mount a defense of the primary droid foundry. While Tano and Offee with Andrew and Alpha squad began to descend the chasm in front of the droid factory to reach the entry point to the catacombs at the bottom of the canyon, Skywalker, Unduli, Rex, and Gree mobilized their men and marched their troops and AT-TE walkers toward the bridge parade-style. Despite their risky lack of cover, Skywalker and Unduli intended to make their frontal assault tempting enough to draw the factory's droid defenders into a fight. With ten garrisons of new droids ready, Poggle and TX-21 took the bait and deployed a large army of B1 and B2 battle droids to defend the foundry. As Skywalker and Unduli led their men to charge the droids, they found themselves confronted by groups of flying Geonosians launching a surprise attack from several spires behind them, and they were caught in a crossfire. In the canyon, Tano, Offee and Andrew made it to the other side of the trough, where Offee cut a hole in the canyon wall and opened the entrance to the catacombs. The two Padawans and five troopers made their way through the dense labyrinth and through a room of sleeping Geonosian warriors, unaware that they were being followed by a Geonosian whom they had accidentally awoken.

Skywalker and Unduli continued to cut through the opposing battle droids, and trooper Buzz used a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon to take out the airborne Geonosian insurgents. With the appearance of several droideka squads, Rex sent trooper Draa forward with a rocket launcher, and Draa quickly destroyed the droids. Trooper Boil, meanwhile, piloted an All Terrain Recon Transport against the Geonosians. The Geonosians' advance forces were further depleted by heavy fire from the Republic's AT-TE walkers. In response, Poggle authorized TX-21 to send out twenty units of their newly developed super tanks. The ray shielded vehicles were deployed from the foundry, and despite the Republic forces' attempt to halt the tanks' advance with AV-7 Antivehicle Cannons manned by clone tank gunners, Skywalker, Unduli, and their men were unable to stop the shielded tanks' approach.

In the meantime, Tano, Offee, Andrew and Alpha squad arrived at the primary foundry's control room and planted their thermal detonator charges around the large main generator. Learning of the two Jedi and five trooper's presence from the Geonosian spy, Poggle and TX-21 personally took a squad of Geonosian warriors and a super tank to greet the intruders. After activating their explosives, the Padawans' escape was cut short by the arrival of the Geonosian archduke and his super tank. Outside the foundry, Skywalker and Unduli learned from their chronometer readings that Tano and Offee had placed and activated the bombs. Immediately thereafter, the Separatist tanks released a barrage of rockets that annihilated the Republic's artillery line and AT-TE walkers, dealing heavy casualties. While the Geonosians and their super tank kept Tano and Offee occupied in the control room, other Geonosian warriors collected the primed explosives from around the reactor. Poggle entrusted TX-21 and his troops to thwart the Jedi's plan while he departed.

Tano, Offee, Andrew and Alpha squad are intercepted by TX-21 and a Geonosian squad at the foundry's reactor. After destroying TX-21 with an explosive charge but barely putting a scratch on the super tank, Tano made to retrieve the bombs from the Geonosians, jumping and hanging onto two of the flying warriors before they could escape from the Padawans. However, the Geonosians knocked Tano against the reactor, temporarily rendering her unconscious. Forced to defend the fallen Tano from the super tank's laser fire, Offee was unable to prevent the Geonosians from escaping into a hatch with the primed bombs however, Andrew and Alpha squad chased after them. Meanwhile, Skywalker and Unduli ordered Rex, Gree, and their men to fall back in order to lure the tanks onto the bridge, which the two Jedi Generals intended to collapse to eliminate the tanks. The clones' retreat baited the tanks onto the pass, and Skywalker and Unduli swung hand-over-hand under the bridge and across its underbelly, planting explosives at key points along its length. Reaching the other side of the bridge, Skywalker and Unduli detonated the charges, destroying the span and sending the tanks into the abyss below.

Even with the arrival of evacuation ships, Skywalker refused to leave without his Padawan, who was unresponsive to his transmissions. The two Jedi Generals' refusal to retreat forced them to face more B1 battle droids from Poggle's foundry. Inside the control room, Offee cut her way into the super tank and disabled its battle droid operators, commandeering the vehicle and saving Tano from being killed by the vehicle's cannon. A revived Tano joined Offee inside the tank, where the pair contemplated their dilemma: without the bombs, they would be unable to destroy the foundry and complete their crucial mission. Tano and Offee chose to instead use the super tank to fire at the generator, despite knowing that they would be unable to escape the subsequent explosion. Once Tano had relayed that decision to Skywalker and Unduli, who were battling the droids outside, she and Offee opened fire on the reactor, causing a massive chain of explosions to bring the foundry down. Unable to help their Padawans, a dismayed Skywalker and Unduli took cover as their droid adversaries were crushed by the debris from the collapsing droid foundry. After the dust had settled and the smoke had cleared, Skywalker desperately tried to contact Tano with his comlink, to no avail. Determined to rescue the buried Padawans from under the layers of rubble, Skywalker ordered the Republic's LAAT carriers to begin lifting the debris to search for Tano and Offee.

Trapped with Offee in the super tank deep below the surface with a limited supply of air, Tano used a power cell to boost her communicator's reception and signal Skywalker to their position. Skywalker, Unduli, and a squad of clones quickly proceeded to the indicated area, and with time running out, Skywalker and Unduli used the Force to levitate the heavy debris away from the Padawans' super tank. The freed Tano and Offee emerged from the wreckage, coughing and grimy but alive, and were reunited with their Masters. Following their success and ordeal in destroying the foundry, Tano and Offee were sent back to the fleet for some much-needed rest and accompanied a convoy of LAAT/i gunships ferrying the Republic's wounded troops back for treatment.

Andrew and Alpha squad was later found by where they had entered the catacombs with the two padawan's. They were rescued by the gunships. Andrew later headed back to his cruiser to leave for a very important mission.

The Second Battle Of Kamino
"This is our home, this is our war!" -Clone Trooper Echo (CT-21-0408) to cadets

"Look around we're one and the same, same heart, same blood. Your training is in your blood. And my blood is boiling for a fight!" -Clone Trooper Fives (CT-27-5555, later redesignated as ARC-5555) to cadets



To draw the Republic and the Jedi Order into their plan, the Confederacy allowed Republic forces to intercept an encoded transmission of Grievous and Ventress discussing their impending assault on Kamino. The communiqué was received aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Resolute, the flagship of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and the 501st Legion of clone troopers (along with alpha squad), who were hosting High General Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard their Star Destroyer. After their crew decrypted the transmission's audio, Skywalker and Kenobi learned of the Separatists' targeting of Kamino, and their respective clone officers, Clone Captain Rex (CT-7567), Arc Commander/Commando Andrew (ARC-5150) and Marshal Commander Cody (CC-2224), were adamant about aiding the defense of their homeworld. Skywalker and Kenobi resolved to return to Kamino with the 501st Legion to notify the Republic defenses of the imminent attack and to provide extra protection against Grievous's battle group. Once they had transferred their troops to an Acclamator I-class assault ship, Skywalker and Kenobi proceeded to Tipoca City with the 501st Legion, while Admiral Wullf Yularen took the Resolute to join the nine other Venator-class Star Destroyers in the Republic's blockade of Kamino. Upon their arrival in Tipoca City, Skywalker and Kenobi met with Prime Minister Lama Su of Kamino and High General Shaak Ti, a Jedi Master who had been stationed on Kamino as the Jedi General in charge of clone trooper training.

Kenobi and Skywalker meet with Shaak Ti and Lama Su while the 501st Legion disembarks. Upon learning of the impending invasion, Su could not believe that the Separatists would risk pitting themselves against the fortified blockade of the world, though all of them took the threat seriously and made preparations to defend Tipoca City. Skywalker's and Kenobi's troops from the 501st Legion disembarked from the Acclamator-class transport, and ARC-5150, CT-7567 and CC-2224—nicknamed "Andrew," "Rex" and "Cody," respectively—took their men directly to the Military Complex, which was being prepared for the attack. In addition, the Republic's starfighter squadrons were mobilized to mount an air strike against a Separatist attack. Meanwhile in deep space, Grievous made his own final preparations for the assault, commanding his fleet of three Recusant-class light destroyers and ten Munificent-class star frigates from his command ship, a Providence-class carrier/destroyer. The re-entry capsules containing the landing force of battle droids and pieces of Trident-class assault ships were affixed to the main hulls of the Munificent-class star frigates as planned. The Separatists planned to attack Tipoca City first.

-Tipoca City-
Grievous's frigates endure extensive damage to deploy the disguised re-entry capsules. Emerging from hyperspace, Grievous's invasion fleet entered the Kamino system. Aided by the T-series tactical droid TV-94B, Grievous deployed his armada in attack formation Echo-3, with his Recusant-class light destroyers spearheading the assault. As the enemy fleet began its offensive, the ten Venator-class Star Destroyers of the Republic blockade held their position and returned the heavy turbolaser fire, supplemented by a pair of Arquitens-class light cruisers as well as Skywalker's and Kenobi's Acclamator-class transport. Commanding the Republic fleet with clone naval officers from the bridge of the Resolute, Admiral Yularen was intrigued by Grievous's head-on assault, as such a move was odd for the Confederate general, and included the anomaly in a report to the command at Tipoca City. The update was received by Kenobi, Ti, Su, and Andrew, Cody and Rex, who were overseeing the battle from the Military Complex's command center. As the Separatist armada pressed its attack, Cody had the Republic fleet shore up on defenses, while Ti—who had expected a larger invasion fleet—issued the order for the Republic's air strike. Kenobi meanwhile pondered why Grievous had forgone the element of surprise in favor of a direct approach for the attack.

Responding to Ti's command, Skywalker led the Republic's starfighter squadrons-including his own personal group, Shadow Squadron, with clone pilot Broadside among them—from Tipoca City into space aboard his Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor. Taking up position at the head of Shadow Squadron, Skywalker led groups of BTL-B Y-wing starfighters and ARC-170 starfighters against Grievous's opposing fleet, which responded by launching Vulture droid starfighters to combat the Republic squadrons. At the same time, V-19 Torrent starfighters were marshaled in the defense of the Republic blockade from Separatist Hyena-class bombers. Skywalker worked with another Jedi Knight, who was also flying a Delta-7B interceptor, to prevent the enemy ships from reaching the surface of Kamino. The two Jedi Knights spearheaded the assault on the frigates and destroyers of the Separatist armada, which quickly began to take heavy losses. The damage was intentional, however, as it allowed the re-entry capsules to detach from the frigates while giving credence to their cover as debris. To the Republic, it simply appeared that Grievous was sacrificing the frigates to protect his command ship. Grievous joined his aqua droids and B1 battle droids in the re-entry capsules and fell from orbit, through the atmosphere of Kamino, and straight into the waters surrounding Tipoca City, where they were received by Ventress.

Clone troopers defend Tipoca City from Separatist aqua droids and assault ships. As the Trident-class assault ships moved into position to deploy their battle droid troops, Tipoca City was put on alert, and clone troopers rushed to defend the Military Complex. Clone Commander Colt was placed in charge of his fellow elite Advanced Recon Commandos who were assigned to the defense of Tipoca City,and they took up position within the Military Complex. While the defense of Tipoca City's main hangar was being organized, ARC Commander Havoc sent 501st troopers CT-21-0408 and CT-27-5555, respectively nicknamed "Echo" and "Fives," to take up sniper positions on the bridge connecting the hangar deck to the cloning factories. Another of the Advanced Recon Commandos joined his clone brethren in fortifying the main hangar just as several Trident-class assault ships clambered onto the facility. The assault ships rammed their drill-spikes into the walls of the hangar's roof, penetrating the building to deploy their battle-ready aqua droids. A furious firefight ensued in the hangar, with the clones attempting to hold out against the seemingly never-ending line of aqua droids. Having arrived in one of the assault ships, Grievous personally led the assault on the clones, ordering his troops to spare none of the Republic troopers.

Several Advanced Recon Commandos, including ARC Commanders Havoc and Blitz, oversaw the defense of the main hangar against Grievous's invading troops. Maintenance clone 99 helped resupply the clones with DC-15A blaster rifles, though he was forced to abandon his post as the casualties around him mounted, particularly as Havoc fell to enemy blaster fire. Besieged by the Trident-class assault ships, Tipoca City began to take heavy damage, with a large amount of its factories' cloning chambers breaking apart as explosions gripped the city. While Grievous pushed further into the Military Complex, Ventress led her aqua droids against clone troopers on the city's outer decks, with the Confederate assault.

Across the Military Complex, young clone cadets were ushered to safety while their older brethren held out against the invading battle droids. Echo and Fives fought on their own battlefront, defending the bridge from squads of aqua droids. 99 arrived to supply them with more ammunition, at which point Fives inquired if there was a better vantage point in the area. At that moment, four B1 battle droids ambushed them, but Fives summarily tossed one of 99's thermal detonators at their attackers. What were thought to be more droids approaching through the smoke turned out to be five clone cadets who had been separated from their group en route to the barracks. Fives and Echo decided to escort them there, with 99 leading them on a shortcut through the city.

Fives, Echo, and 99 reached the barracks with their group of clone cadets, where Arc-Commander/Commando Andrew. Captain Rex and Commander Cody arrived to rally the young cadets to defend their homeworld. Fives and Echo also encouraged them to take up arms to protect their home. 99 brought Rex and Cody to the nearby armory to equip the cadets with weaponry for a defense of the barracks. The three of them returned with enough DC-15S blasters for the cadets, whom Rex positioned in the barracks' retractable sleeping chambers so that they could surprise the droids from behind. They were just in time, as Grievous arrived with his detachment of B1 battle droids and aqua droids. While the droids pressed into the barracks and began a firefight with Andrew, Rex, Cody, and their men.

While the Jedi were pursuing the Separatist agents out of Tipoca City, Andrew, Rex, Cody, Fives, and Echo mounted a defense of the barracks from the invading battle droids. The clones took up positions behind several crates to return the droids' blaster fire, with 99 supplying Andrew, Rex and Cody with thermal detonators to launch at the droids. Once the droids had passed the cadets' hiding spots in the sleeping chambers, Rex commed the cadets to open fire on the droids, effectively surrounding the droids and locking them in a crossfire. Cody soon used up their supply of thermal detonators, at which point 99 opted to restock their explosives from the armory. As 99 abandoned his cover behind the crates, much to his fellow clones' alarm, one of the droids' blaster shots caught him in the leg. Desperate to protect their injured comrade, Echo and Fives increased their blaster fire, with Fives forgoing his cover to eliminate the droids with his heavy blaster rifle. Yet 99 took two more shots, this time fatal, to his back. The battle left no time for the clones to mourn their fallen comrade, as Cody received word from Ti that the rest of the droids throughout the city had been pushed back to the main hangar. Ti entered the fray in the hangar, joining the Republic troops in battling the remaining groups of aqua droids.

In the main hangar, Ti and her men continued to cut through the trapped droids, with the clones using blasters, Z-6 rotary blaster cannons, and RPS-6 rocket launchers to annihilate the remaining assault ships. Once their hold on the hangar wall was compromised, the drill ships tumbled into the ocean below. On the outside platforms, ARC Commander Blitz led a squad of Advanced Recon Force troopers to target an assault ship that was about to penetrate a city wall with its drill-spike. Blitz had one of his troopers fire a rocket at the craft, causing it to crash onto a platform below. The remaining Separatist forces in Tipoca City were routed, resulting in a Republic victory.

Echo and Fives were promoted to ARC troopers shortly following the battle. Andrew was also given a "Medal of Honor" for his hard work protecting Kamino. After, Andrew was called away to assist on another battle.

The Battle of Umbara
Andrew, Alpha Squad and his newly formed "Shadow Tech Legion" were sent to retake the planet of Umbara.

After smashing though the Separatist blockade, the Republic fleet enters Umbara's atmosphere. Spearheaded by Z-95 Headhunters, Republic forces launched a blitz attack on the Separatist blockade fortifying Umbara. After quickly punching a hole through Separatist defenses, the Republic forces consolidated for a ground assault on the Umbaran capital. While Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi, Pong Krell, and Saesee Tiin took command over the southern front, Anakin Skywalker and the 501st Legion were given control over the northern front with the intention of flanking Separatist reinforcements and neutralizing the local Umbaran militia. Upon reaching the atmosphere, the ground forces were deployed in a squadron of gunships guarded by a wing of Headhunters.

A large number of AT-RT scout walkers were deployed from the gunships, and they charged the Umbaran militia, clearing the way for the clone infantry to land. The Umbarans employed tanks which utilized electric current-based weaponry; however, the scout walker's agility allowed them to easily outmaneuver several of the tanks and take them out from the side. Skywalker and his men touched down after a rough landing, losing at least one gunship to surface fire. The attack force proceeded onward to claim a ridge to the north that was viable as a potential staging area for Republic forces. The clone forces charged straight into the Umbaran's frontlines, forcing the enemy militia to fall back. However, the clones encountered a bizarre form of Umbaran fauna: a carnivorous, tentacled creature known as the vixus. The creature grasped several clones with its tentacular appendages and dragged them into its gaping maw. ARC trooper 5555 nicknamed "Fives" who was in the grasp of the creature, tricked it into swallowing a thermal detonator, destroying the monster from the inside.

Skywalker, Andrew and Rex lead the 501st's charge on Umbara. After securing the landing zone, the clone forces entrenched themselves on the ridge. As they rested, the Umbaran insurgents regrouped themselves for an ambush on the clone camp; by distracting the tired clones with millicreep assassin droids, the Umbarans circled around the camp and attacked the clones from the rear. In response, General Skywalker authorized a carpet bombing of the ridge, and ordered his men to fall back to the south, losing at least one AT-RT walker in the process. Upon reaching the fallback zone, two BTL-B Y-wing starfighters led by Commander Odd Ball carpet bombed the ridge, wiping out the last of the Umbaran resistance in the area. As the clone forces regrouped for the imminent attack on the Umbaran capital city, General Pong Krell arrived, relaying an order from the Jedi Council requesting Skywalker's return to Coruscant, an order which apparently originated from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Skywalker reluctantly followed the order, leaving Krell to lead the 501st in the interim. Krell then ordered his men to march on the capital.

Along the way, they were attacked by a pair of Banshees, which Krell killed so that the battalion could resume marching onwards. When Krell and the 501st reached the outskirts of the Capital, Krell ordered the troops to launch a full frontal assault instead of using preemptive surprise attacks. Captain CT-7567 nicknamed "Rex" complied with the order and then led his troopers and AT-RTs onto the main road to assault the capital. As the 501st marched along the road, they ran into a minefield, killing troopers Oz and Ringo. ARC trooper Fives was able to find more mines and a way through them. The 501st were soon ambushed by the Umbaran militia, but held their ground, although they were too exposed to hold out for long. Captain Rex then ordered the 501st to retreat in order to gain a better fighting position. They were then able to rejoin Krell and the rest of the 501st. Together they were able to repel the Umbarans. After that, Krell criticized Captain Rex for giving up the road. Rex and Fives were able to convince the general that they did what was best for their men. After Krell gives Rex a dubious compliment, the Umbarans launch a counterattack on the 501st.

-Taking The Airfield-
Captain Rex and the 501st hold the line. Krell and the 501st continued to hold their positions despite the relentless attacks of the Umbaran militia from both ground and air. The 501st could not break through to support General Kenobi's battalion. Kenobi then contacted Krell, ordering him to take out an airbase being used as a supply base for the capital. The 501st regrouped and proceeded to the airbase. When the 501st got within distance of the airbase, Rex suggested that they try and scout for another way in. Krell, knowing the urgency of Kenobi's situation, ordered the captain to take the battalion through a gorge single file. Rex's men started to criticize Krell's orders and tactics knowing that their casualties would be high but he was able to convince them to go through with it. As he started the attack, Rex divided his men into three groups, with Fives, Hardcase and himself being in charge of these groups. As the 501st made their way through the gorge, they were attacked by caterpillar tanks which they subdued with their rocket launchers and thermal detonators. The 501st then resumed their advance towards the airbase before being forced to retreat by enemy fire from spider cannons. Krell then ordered Rex to push the attack; his men tried using rocket launchers on the spider cannons, but to no avail. Rex then ordered Fives, Andrew and Hardcase to acquire a couple of Umbaran starfighters and use them against the tanks. However, Krell ordered Rex to launch a full-scale attack. Rex and his men then continued to hold their ground against the tanks. The three troopers passed the sensor fence surrounding the airbase by climbing a tree. After Fives, Andrew and Hardcase made it over, Fives blew up the tree to distract the Umbarans. Fives, Andrew and Hardcase were then able to get into a couple of starfighters and successfully destroyed the tanks, with Krell gazed upon the destruction with a love of war, contrary to Jedi ideals. Krell then sent clone sergeant CC-1119, nicknamed Appo, and the rest of the battalion in to take the airbase. The 501st was successful in taking the airbase. The battalion then rounded up the prisoners and held the base before moving on to aid Kenobi in taking the capital.

-Attack On The Supply Ship-
Fives and Rex argue over whether or not General Krell's orders should be obeyed. After Krell and the 501st conquered the airbase for the Republic, the Umbarans then stepped up their attacks, trying to retake their airbase. The Jedi made sure that all security measures were reconfigured and that the battalion stayed on alert to anything, while ARC trooper Fives worked on examining the Umbaran starfighters. Krell was then contacted by Kenobi, who congratulated him on taking the airbase, though the latter wanted to wait until the battle was over to celebrate. Kenobi then informed Krell that his battalion was being pushed away from the capital by long-range missiles and that the capital was being resupplied by a Separatist supply ship within orbit, guarded heavily by the Separatist armada—which outnumbered the Republic vessels. Krell, however, stated that they would have to take the capital regardless of these missiles and said that he would meet Kenobi and his battalion at the rendezvous point. Kenobi's transmission was then lost. Krell then ordered Rex to ready the battalion to move out in 12 hours to advance on the capital; the captain then asked Krell if he should try and get a message through to Kenobi to coordinate their attack in light of the recent threat. Krell knew, however, that like himself and his battalion, Kenobi had his hands full and asserted that they needed to throw everything they have at the capital. Rex told Krell that they would be walking into a blast zone, but the Jedi disagreed and ordered him to prepare his troops.

After Rex briefed his troops, ARC trooper Fives told Rex that they have broken the Umbaran access codes and that they can use the captured starfighters to infiltrate the supply ship and destroy it, thus cutting off supplies to the capital. Rex told Krell of this plan, but Krell does not wish to waste men on this plan knowing they will need everyone to help take the capital. Despite Krell's orders, Fives decided to go through with the mission despite the risk of court-martial so he, ARC-5150 nicknamed "Andrew," Hardcase, and CT-5597 nicknamed "Jesse" then go into a hangar and train themselves at flying the captured starfighters, but Hardcase was having trouble at flying the craft. Krell was soon informed of this. Fives told Krell that it's just a safety drill, but Krell however does not believe it. After Hardcase accidentally shoots the hangar door apart, Krell comes down. Hardcase then figures out how to fly the starfighter. When Krell demands to know what happened, Fives and Hardcase tell him that it was an enemy booby trap and that they were lucky they got in control before the starfighter went haywire. Krell then orders the starfighters to be locked down, despite Hardcase's objections. After Krell left, Andrew, Jesse and Hardcase volunteered to fly with Fives, regardless of the consequences. Fives told them his plan knowing how when General Skywalker was a kid, blew up a ship by hitting its reactors from the inside. Rex was then conducting a perimeter sweep when Fives, Andrew, Jesse and Hardcase tell him that they intend to go through with their plan. Rex reluctantly gives them permission to do so, but tells them that if they get caught, he won't be able to help them.

Fives, Andrew, Jesse and Hardcase then commandeered the captured starfighters and made their way into orbit towards the supply ship. When they got there, they were in the middle of a space battle between the Republic and Separatist fleets. When Krell found out about this, Rex told him that it's merely a reconnaissance mission. Meanwhile, the rogue troopers then make their way through the battle towards the supply ship. The battle droids then saw that the fighter pilots were clones and the tactical droid in charged was informed of this. When the droids start closing the doors, Hardcase shot them but damages his fighter. The tactical droid then ordered the defenses to increase and the reactor's ray shields to be activated. Just when the rogue troopers make their shot on the reactors,the ray shields come up. The rogue clones then came under ground fire from the droids. Hardcase then leaves his fighter and takes one of his missile pods into the reactor room and tells Fives and Jesse to get out. Just as Fives, Andrew and Jesse leave, Hardcase rams the missile pod into the reactors, thus destroying the supply ship. After Fives, Andrew and Jesse land they were taken to see Krell. Though Krell knows it was a brave act, they disobeyed his orders. Rex tried to take the blame for this mission, but Fives insisted that it was his idea. Krell told Fives, Andrew and Jesse that they will be court-martialed and executed.

-"Execution"-
"Let me be clear about the punishment for the treason committed by ARC trooper 5555, ARC Trooper 5150 and CT-5597: they will be court marshaled, they will be found guilty, and they will be executed. Make no mistake. For crossing me, you will pay the price." ―Jedi General Pong Krell

The execution squad lines up to execute Andrew, Jesse and Fives. After the event in which Fives, Andrew, Jesse, and Hardcase (Who sacrificed himself to destroy the supply ship) disobeyed Krell's orders, Rex tried to talk Krell out of court-martialing Fives, Andrew, and Jesse and tells him there is no need and that the troops feel Krell is putting their lives in danger needlessly. Krell only replied that the the court-martial is needed to show the clones who is in charge. After a short lived talk, Krell decides that the execution of Fives, Andrew, and Jesse will be more effective than court-martialing them. He ordered Rex to prepare a squad for execution. Shocked, Rex tried again to reason with the general, only to be yelled at. Doing as he is told, Rex retrieved Fives, Andrew, and Jesse from their prison cells. Rex told them that he tried to reason with Krell with no success.

He and the other troopers set them up along the wall of the airbase. Dogma, the leader of the execution, asked Fives, Andrew, and Jesse if they would like to be blindfolded—with no response, Dogma took it as a no. As the execution team prepared to fire, Fives stopped them and said that what they are about to do is wrong and that they should not listen to Krell's order for execution. The troops begun to wonder if Fives is right, but not caring at all, Dogma ordered them to fire. The troopers fired but avoid hitting Fives, Andrew, and Jesse. Dogma begins to question why the troopers didn't kill Fives, Andrew, and Jesse, only for Rex to step in and tell him that their actions in destroying the supply ship was heroic and that if all clone troopers in the 501st legion were rewarded with execution for heroic actions, then one day they would all face a similar fate. The troopers then untie the three clones. Up in the tower, Krell was furious to hear that the clones didn't killed Fives, Andrew and Jesse and reprimanded Rex for it. Soon an incoming message came through and a clone trooper reported that the Umbarans have stepped up their defenses and have recently ambushed a clone platoon and seizing clone armor and weapons and have disguised themselves as clone troopers. Krell puts the execution on hold and orders Rex and his men to prepare to march on the capital and reminds him to tell his men that the enemy has now disguised themselves as clone troopers.

-Killing Our Own Brothers-
Soon after, Rex prepared to lead the forward platoon through the briar fens of the Umbaran wilderness. He warned them to stay alert, since the Umbarans may use the captured Republic supplies to create confusion. When Rex and the rest of his men came under fire from the disguised Umbarans, the troops then set up their mortars and open fire on the enemy. The firefight between both sides continued, with Krell watching with contempt, till Rex discovered that the "disguised" Umbarans were actually clones. Rex then ordered his men to stop firing, telling them to take off their helmets to see that they were all clones. Both sides revealed themselves to be clones. Rex then found the 212th battalion platoon leader, Waxer who was mortally wounded in the firefight. Rex asked Waxer who gave the order to attack them who told Rex that Krell told his platoon that the Umbarans had stolen clone armor. Waxer then cries before he died. Soon after this Rex then rounded his men and the remnants of Waxer's platoon. Rex tells them that they are going to arrest Krell for treason against the Republic. Rex then tells them that if anyone did not wish to do this, to step out of the line. All of Rex's men stepped forward to arrest Krell.

-The Death Of Pong Krell-
Rex leads the 501st and the 212th in an attempt to arrest General Krell. Rex and the 501st, along with the remainder of Waxer's platoon prepare themselves to arrest Krell. Along the way, Rex frees Fives, Andrew, and Jesse from their imprisonment and gives them back their armor and weapons. Rex and his men then go to the control tower to confront Krell. Rex then states that General Krell is relieved of his command, but Krell tells Rex that he and his men are committing mutiny. Krell then admits he did tell his men to kill each other. Just as the clones close in on him, Krell subdued them, killing some them with his double bladed lightsabers and then escaped into the jungle, demonstrating a new-found passion for the dark-side and for violence. Rex ordered his men to go into the jungle and find him. Dogma, remaining loyal to Krell, tries to stop his brothers, calling them traitors. After Rex convinced him to stand down, Dogma was taken to the brig. When Rex and the rest of his troops marched in the thick of the briar fen, Krell subdued one of the squads. Krell, using the force, taunted Rex and his men, saying that he has been using them all along, laughing at them. Tup then had Rex lure the corrupt Jedi Master over to him. When Tup managed to lure Krell's attention from the rest of the clones, the general then runs into a vixus. Although Krell was able to free himself from the vixus's grasp, he was stunned by Tup, and the troops placed a pair of binders on his hands and was taken into custody.

When Rex questioned Krell about his actions, he admitted that he has turned traitor and tells Rex that he foresees that the Jedi will lose the war, and that a New Order will arise, and that in exchange for betraying the Republic, he will become Count Dooku's new apprentice. This surprises Dogma, since he was one of Krell's most loyal troopers. Rex then discovers that Krell had sabotaged the airbase's communications and that General Kenobi's battalion had long since taken the capital. Unfortunately the Umbaran forces are on their way to retake the airbase. Captain Rex then orders the troops to prepare for a full scale attack. When Fives warns Rex that if Krell is freed, he would undermine the Republic's foothold. So Rex decides to execute the fallen general. Rex, Andrew and Fives then go down to the brig and let Dogma out. Rex then tells Krell to face the wall and get down on his knees. Krell taunts Rex that he's afraid to pull the trigger. Just when Krell finished his last taunt, Dogma took one of Fives's pistols and shot Krell for betraying every one of his men. Rex then got word that Kenobi's battalion have all sectors secured and that the enemy has been defeated, marking the end of the invasion on Umbara.



-Aftermath-
With Umbara secured, the Republic was able to retake the Separatist stronghold. However, Rex didn't feel like celebrating and instead wondered what was the point of the war and what would happened to the soldiers when it ends. The fall of Krell near the end of the battle demonstrated that Jedi could fall to the dark side if they fall to despair with the way the war was going.

Following the battle, Andrew then dismantled "Shadow Tech Legion" and rejoins "Larcon Legion" and reformed "Omega Squad."

Reporting To The Jedi Council
"This is not the work of a Sith Lord or a Jedi…but a reckless, impulsive animal." ―Obi-Wan Kenobi

During the time when Savage Opress first started attacking planets, many Jedi were killed. So Andrew and Alpha Squad were sent by the Jedi Council to investigate the mysterious reports and rumors about a new assassin (which was Savage Opress).

-The Investigation-
"Oh...my...god!" -Andrew upon seeing all the destruction

When Andrew and Alpha Squad landed on the planet, all they saw from their shuttle was bases burning, tons of dead clones and two dead Jedi.

Mission To The Space Station Orbiting Korriban
"I swear, I had no idea what was in those crates, I'm innocent!." "You were smuggling sith artifacts Captain." "Fine, Fine, just give me back my ship!" - Jedi Master Kao Cen Darach and Smuggler Nico Okarr

Andrew was assigned to a space station orbiting Korriban. He had managed intercepted a smuggler who attempted to "sneak" some sith artifacts of the old republic off world. Right before they could take him to the brig some CIS and Sith came out of hyperspace and attacked the station.

-The Attack Aboard The Station-
"Sir, the station is being attacked we have to warn the republic! But our ships can't outrun those fighters!" "Well, guess who has the fasted ship in the sector?" -Andrew and the Smuggler

As Andrew, a trooper and the two Jedi escorted the smuggler to the detention center aboard the station one of the Jedi sensed something coming. Everyone looked out the stations viewports only to find CIS and Sith ships coming out of hyperspace. The enemy ships launched all their fighters causing major damage to the station. Andrew and the Jedi realized that they needed to contact the republic and had to leave the planet. However, Andrew pointed out that all their ships couldn't outrun the enemy fighters, the smuggler offered to take his very fast and upgraded cargo ship. So they start heading to his ship on the stations hanger.

Soon after droids and the sith troopers began to board. The Jedi went and attacked the incoming sith troops. Andrew and the trooper attempted to hold of the enemy that was attacking from behind but were knocked down by some rocket droidekas, killing the other trooper in the process. Seeing that the Andrew needed some help, the smuggler went and helped them using his two upgraded blaster pistols.

After Andrew and the smuggler destroyed the eemy they went to the hanger where the Jedi were. When they want inside more enemy infantry started to follow them, so Andrew and the smuggler fought back then when they got in the blastdoors Andrew shot the controls so the enemy couldn't get in the hanger. Now for a second without fighting the smuggler realized that his ship was damaged.

Right that second a sith interceptor landed in the hanger. Two Sith Lords walked out and were prepared to fight the two Jedi. The Jedi master ordered Andrew and the smuggler to board and prepare the ship for takeoff. Then the Jedi and sith had a epic duel. After a couple minutes the ship was ready for takeoff. The Jedi apprentice was told to board and leave her master alone to hold off the sith. The female Jedi obeyed and headed for the ship before throwing her lightsaber to her master.

They took off and bumped the sith interceptor badly damaging it. They were pursued by many enemy fighters. Andrew and the Jedi were told to man the AA guns within the ship to hold off the fighters while the hyperdrive was being prepared. Soon after blasting through a sith cruiser they jumped to light speed escaping to Coruscant.

The Jedi master was killed while fighting the sith but not before fatally injuring one sith.

The Battle Of Coruscant
"An attack on Coruscant seemed unthinkable. So when the CIS struck at the heart of the Republic, few were prepared. For X1 and I, it was just another chance to prove ourselves in battle." ―Clone trooper X2

The sith, Darth Sidious, Count Dooku along with General Grievous planned an attack to "capture" chancellor palpatine.

Andrew,"Omega" Squad, and Larcon Legion happened to be in orbit of Coruscant when the separatists launched their attack. Andrews cruisers were being hit hard by confederacy dreadnoughts. In an a attempt to escape down to the planet, Andrew and his cruiser evacuated to gunships and shuttles and blasted off seconds before their cruiser was blown to pieces. While heading down to the planets surface they receive a distress call from an old friend, ARC Captain Fordo.

-Reuniting With An Old Friend-
"Distress call: 0-8-4-5-72 this is Captain Fordo. Does anyone copy?" "This is ARC-5150 "Andrew", I copy you old friend." -Andrew replying to Fordo's distress call

Andrews gunships land close to Fordo's position but will have to get to him on foot. Andrew contacts Fordo via comlink saying that their coming to help. After contacting Fordo, Andrew got all of his men together then started heading to Fordo's position. Andrew and his men were attacked by a squad of battle droids, super battle droids and droidekas. Luckily, Andrew and his men were prepared for any kind of attack. Andrew called his demolitionist "Doom" who threw about a handful of grenades and fired a free rockets at the droids, destroying all of them. Andrews latest rookie "Jared" was shocked by "Dooms" actions.

-Jared: "Woah! They call you "doom" for a reason."

-Andrew: "Yea, seriously. Glad I ain't a seppie right now."

-Doom: "Yup."

Andrew and his men press on. Now they reach a surrounded Fordo. Andrew and his men see him surrounded and bring the heat. Within seconds were all the droids destroyed. Andrew and Fordo greet.

-Andrew: "Glad we got here when we did."

-Fordo: "Yea me to."

-Andrew: "It's been a long time since we have seen each other."

-Fordo: "Yes it has hasn't it."

Both Andrew and Fordo get a beep from their comlinks. Fordo has to leave to help a squad of clones in the city. Andrew has to report immediately to orbit to help in the space battle with the 501st. A starfighter lands for Andrew nearby. Andrew then commands his men of Larcon Legion to assist Fordo however they can while he is gone. He then jumps in his starfighter and heads for orbit.

-The Space Battle-
"This is where the fun begins." -Anakin Skywalker

The Andrew and the 501st Legion was immediately given mission objectives to board their starfighters in a Venator-class Star Destroyer's hangar and head out to counter the Separatist fighters, engaging them in fierce dogfights. Their goal was to clear a path for Skywalker and Kenobi. The pilots proceeded to destroy a number of Vulture droids and a Munificent-class star frigate, as well as the shields and communications array of a Providence-class carrier/destroyer. Several 501st fighters then landed in the enemy cruiser hangar, exited their vehicles, and manually blew up the inner engine cooling tanks and auto turret defense system. Jumping back into their fighters, the pilots circled the Providence cruiser, destroying its bridge.

Andrew then aided Skywalker and Kenobi along with the help of force-sensitive clone trooper X2. Andrew and X2 were able to destroy a separatist cruiser blocking Grievous's flagship "The Invisible Hand" clearing a path for Skywalker and Kenobi to board the cruiser and rescue the chancellor. Thereby concluding the Battle of Coruscant.

Andrews next mission was about to make a big impact on history.

Operation: Knightfall (Order 66)
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire was… was how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight back to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word." ―An extract from the Journal of the 501st

Andrew and the 501st legion were assigned to Lord Vader to eliminate Order 66- which means the Jedi Order.

The clones charged into the Jedi Temple foyer to meet with heavy resistance from Jedi and Temple Security Force personnel, eventually clearing the High Council Chamber of resistance. They were then ordered to pacify the library and defend holobook shelves from Jedi that were trying to destroy them until a content download could be performed to capture the confidential Jedi information and Sith secrets. After that information was taken, the clones fought to acquire a holocron detailing Sith and Jedi knowledge from the Archives, delivering the device to an awaiting Low Altitude Assault Transport for carriage away from the battle. On Vader's front, a Zabrak Jedi activated a ray shield defense system and hid in a shield-protected room during the carnage. Once Vader had disabled the shields and killed the alien, he and a group of clones were ambushed by a band of Jedi Snipers in a hall. At a clone's suggestion, Vader toppled a large statue to crush the warriors and used a chunk to break his way into a study hall, where his party eliminated several Jedi students and a number of Jedi brutes. When Jedi interceptors were launched in an attempt to cut down the clone force, Vader commandeered an anti-aircraft gun to shoot them down, making his way to the communication center at the summit of the Jedi Council Spire once he had finished off the last ship. He altered and broadcast a beacon ordering all Jedi to return to the Jedi Temple on the High Council's authority because the war was over, leading any who heeded the call to their death at the hands of the clones.

-Secret Mission-
"Commander, I need you to raid the Jedi vault and steal the holocrons. And kill any Jedi that get in your way." "As you wish Lord Vader." -A fallen Anakin Skywalker to Andrew

Andrew and Alpha Squad were secretly assigned a mission by Lord Vader. Their mission- to raid the Jedi vault and take the holocrons and they were to eliminate any Jedi in their path.

They headed for the vault right away but it would take them a while for they were at the other end of the huge temple. All troopers were armed with a force-pike, electrostaff, a Dc-15s rifle and a backpack (to carry all the holocrons). They were quickly engaged by temple security and Jedi but thanks to their skilled training they had no problems dealing with them.

After about an hour of killing and walking, they finally make it to a rather secure Vault. Luckily, they had a demolition specialist to blow up the vault door. They marched in the vault only to find two Jedi brutes guarding the holocrons. They killed them both shortly, took the holocrons and headed to the temple hanger where a Low Altitude Assault Transport was waiting for them. They were picked up and were taken to their cruiser in orbit.

-Aftermath-
"Not even the Younglings survived." "Killed not by clones, this Padawan, but by a lightsaber, he was." "Who? Who could have done this?" ―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, upon finding a group of murdered Jedi hopefuls in the Temple

The Jedi Temple was in flames. As the fires burned through the night, the citizens of Galactic City watched in shock as the symbol of the Jedi was engulfed in flames. A Senatorial body called the Senate Emergency Response declared martial law on Coruscant, locked down the Temple Precinct, and closed the surrounding skylanes, redirecting all traffic away from the district. Coruscant Rescue Ops were forbidden from extinguishing the fires cremating the Temple, and any ship attempting to approach the Temple was assumed to be doing so with treasonous intent. The Coruscant Security Force joined the clones in tracking down fleeing Jedi, and CSF officers assisted when the 501st engaged a group of Jedi trying to escape the Temple via the Shinarcan Bridge Extension.

The clones began to count the dead once the Temple was pacified. Jedi Yoland Fee and Master Ali-Alann had been killed by clone troopers. Jedi Knight Olana Chion was presumed to have died that night, though her body was never properly identified. In addition to the Jedi casualties, the entire security force of Jedi Knights had been killed, as well as most of the Temple Security Force and Temple Caretakers present during Operation: Knightfall.

Before the fires had been doused, an emergency Galactic Senate meeting was called by Palpatine the day after the raid on the Temple. During the assembly, he informed the senators of the Jedi's attempt to usurp control of the galaxy and the night's events, producing secretly recorded audio footage from his arrest as evidence that the Jedi had tried to depose the Republic's Head of State without a warrant. He also told them of the Temple's pacification and the clones' efforts across the galaxy to wipe out the organization in the wake of that realization. To fully sway his audience to his cause, Palpatine delivered a speech claiming the Jedi had orchestrated the entirety of the Clone Wars to weaken the Republic so that they could take over the galaxy. Palpatine announced that to prevent another such attempt, the Galactic Republic would be dissolved and then reformed as a unified body under his sole, absolute authority, the Galactic Empire.

The End Of The Republic, The Start Of The Empire
"The clone troopers, now proudly bearing the honorable rank of Imperial stormtroopers, have tackled the dangerous work of fighting our enemies on the front lines. Many have died in their devotion to the Empire. Imperial citizens would do well to remember their example." ―Emperor Palpatine during the Declaration of a New Order

Andrew along with the entire Army of Clone Troopers of the Republic were reorganized into Imperial Stormtroopers of the Empire. During the galaxy's transition from democracy to despotism, the stormtroopers retained the Phase II battle armor they customized with unit colors and markings during the Clone Wars. But the alterations that the New Order introduced soon affected the Empire's shock troopers, particularly their armor and weapons. Prior to the creation of stormtrooper armor, the Empire brought an end to the Republic tradition of unit markings and armor customization. Stormtroopers restored their clone armor to a blank white condition, thus emphasizing the Empire's preference for uniformity and obedience in contrast to individuality and creativity. Although in some cases some troopers were able to customize their armor with special markings and colors.

Mission To Tatooine

Mission To Kashyyyk
"Lord Vader, we were ambushed upon arrival, but I have the situation well in—" "I have no interest in your failures, Commander. I am here on a mission of my own." ―Darth Vader chokes the 501st's Imperial Commander

In his first mission with the newly formed 501st Stormtrooper legion, Andrew and the 501st was assigned to Kashyyk to once again assist Darth Vader find and kill a rouge Jedi. Andrew was on the bridge of their new Imperial Star Destroyers discussing with his Commander and Lord Vader about their mission- Find the rouge Jedi and kill him, and kill and native that come in our way.

Andrew and the 501st board gunships and take them to the surface. Lord Vader took a shuttle down a little bit after they left. There was stiff resistance from the native wookies. Many men fell to their deaths. Andrew was trying to complete their mission but trying to save his comrades at the same time. When Lord Vader landed, the Commander met him but vader nearly force choked him to death. Vader then commanded the troopes to follow and assist him.

-Assisting Lord Vader....Again-
"Commander, Follow me." "Yes Lord Vader." -Lord Vader to the Commander

To Be Announced.

The Start Of The Rebellion
"The historical records will claim that the Rebel Alliance was born on Corellia. That is a documented fact, but the truth is this: the Rebel Alliance was born in the Scarl system… aboard Darth Vader`s personal starship, the Executor." ―PROXY

-Early History-
Years before the formation of the Rebel Alliance, Darth Vader discovered a young Human child named Galen Marek during an attack on Kashyyyk. Marek's father and mother, Kento and Mallie Marek, were both trained members of the Jedi Order. Thus, he possessed an incredibly powerful connection to the Force. Realizing the boy's potential was too great to discard, Vader abducted Marek and indoctrinated him into the ways of the Sith as a secret apprentice. As time passed, Marek developed into a highly efficient Sith assassin, known only to a select few by the codename Starkiller.

In 2 BBY, Darth Vader commanded Starkiller to search the galaxy for various rebels and dissidents who opposed the Galactic Empire. He was then required to unite them into a single rebellion that would plunge the Empire into a state of civil war. Vader reasoned that an insurrection created the best opportunity to assassinate the Emperor, especially because his attention would be focused primarily on destroying the rebels. Hence, the apprentice embarked on his mission in earnest, and eventually brought Jedi Master Rahm Kota and Bail Organa into the fold after earning their trust. Through Organa, Starkiller also made contact with the fugitives Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis. Organa's adopted daughter, Princess Leia Organa also pledged her support to the nascent rebellion while still serving as her father's successor in the Imperial Senate.

-The Birth Of The Rebellion-
"We agree that the time for diplomacy and politics has passed. It is now time for action… therefore let this be an official declaration of rebellion! Today, we all vow to change the galaxy, and one day the galaxy will indeed be free!" ―Bail Organa

Starkiller's fellow subversives were initially resistant to the notion of open rebellion. They felt that the galaxy had to be shown one way or another that the Empire was vulnerable. In accordance with Darth Vader's counsel, Starkiller destroyed an Imperial shipyard that orbited Raxus Prime. As a single Star Destroyer moved to intercept him, the apprentice used the Force to rip the massive vessel from the sky, causing it to crash on the surface below. The symbolic victory had the desired effect as Vader predicted. Starkiller and the senators rendezvoused on Corellia where they ceremoniously proclaimed the birth of the Rebellion, as well as their intentions to restore liberty to the galaxy.

However, Starkiller had been betrayed by the Dark Lord of the Sith. The true purpose of his mission was to gather the Emperor's enemies in a single location so that Imperial troops could arrest them all at once. Darth Vader revealed the truth to his shocked apprentice: he never intended to overthrow the Emperor with Starkiller at his side. After leaving his former assassin for dead, Vader transported the Rebel leaders to the incomplete Death Star where Emperor Palpatine awaited their arrival. Yet Starkiller survived and ultimately renounced his Sith persona, thus resuming the use of his birth name "Galen Marek," recovered from repressed memories of his past.

Marek infiltrated the battlestation and single-handedly slew countless Imperial soldiers before defeating his former Master in a lightsaber duel. With Darth Vader severely damaged and at the apprentice's mercy, Emperor Palpatine urged Marek to assume the mantle of a true Sith Lord by killing Vader in cold blood. Though briefly tempted to pursue his lifelong goal once more, Marek chose to rescue the Rebel leaders by attacking the Emperor. The Rebels escaped with their lives, but Marek was forced to sacrifice his own in order to provide them with enough time to flee the Death Star in the Rogue Shadow.

In the aftermath of Galen Marek's demise, the Rebel leaders reconvened on Kashyyyk where they held a meeting in their fallen leader's childhood home. The Alliance to Restore the Republic was officially realized. At Leia Organa's behest, the Rebels chose to honor the secret apprentice's memory by basing their organization's emblem on the Marek family crest, effectively turning it into a symbol of hope that many beings rallied around during the subsequent Galactic Civil War.

-Disappearance Of The Death Star Plans-
"Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you." ―Darth Vader to Princess Leia Organa

The Star Destroyer Devastator (carring andrew and the 501st aboard) chases down the Tantive IV. The Rebel Alliance operated an efficient and widespread intelligence network of Bothan spies. Through this network, the Alliance learned of the construction of the Death Star, an extremely powerful space station capable of annihilating planets with its superlaser.

The hunt was on for means to destroy this fearsome weapon. All resources were poured into the effort; if such a weapon was unleashed upon the galaxy, it would spell certain doom for the Alliance. Construction of the Death Star had thus far taken many years; supervised by Tarkin, the project had hit many standstills, some of which included a shortage of labor, which was alleviated through the Subjugation of Geonosis. Soon after, a riot erupted aboard the Death Star, led by Rebel prisoners. They managed to steal a technical readout of the battle station; while many of the rioters were killed, some were able to escape to bring the readout to the proper authorities.

Combined with another set of plans acquired by Kyle Katarn, and the set retrieved during the Battle of Toprawa, the Alliance was able to conceive a full technical readout of the Death Star that could be analyzed for weaknesses. The complete plans were beamed to the Tantive IV under Leia Organa's care from Polis Massa, which was under attack by Vader, Andrew and the 501st Legion as they followed up on the riot on the Death Star, having pursued the rebels in an attempt to reclaim the Death Star data. The attack turned up empty for the Empire, despite wiping out the Alliance base and eliminating all resistance. The Signal branch of Imperial Intelligence's Analysis Bureau discovered that the plans had been sent to the Tantive IV by analyzing the un-shielded ELEL (Extremely Low Energy Level) transmissions. This allowed Vader to track the Tantive IV to Tatooine.

Hoping to enlist the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leia Organa rushed towards Tatooine with the plans in hand; however, Vader was able to catch up and captured the Tantive IV in a short space battle. As Vader's forces entered her ship, Leia Organa made a last desperate gamble and hid the plans of the Death Star aboard the astromech droid R2-D2. R2-D2, along with C-3PO, a protocol droid on the ship, used an escape pod to travel to Tatooine, where they were purchased from the Jawa scavengers who found them by Owen Lars, uncle of Luke Skywalker.

Skywalker soon discovered a portion of the message in R2-D2 and became interested. However, R2-D2, operating under programming included with the plans, escaped and tried to find Obi-Wan Kenobi. Skywalker, who conveniently met up with Kenobi in the Dune Sea, tracked him down. R2-D2 then played back for them Leia Organa's desperate plea for help. The two discovered that Imperial stormtroopers had attacked the Jawas who had sold them the two droids in a search for the plans. Luke returned to his home to find his aunt and uncle slaughtered at Imperial hands. He then accompanied Kenobi to Mos Eisley, where, after evading Imperial troops, the two negotiated with smuggler Han Solo and his first mate Chewbacca to take them and the plans to Alderaan aboard the Millennium Falcon.

Leia Organa was transferred to the Death Star by Vader and interrogated for the location of the Alliance's hidden base. Leia refused to yield to torture, but was forced into a difficult position when Tarkin threatened to destroy Alderaan, her homeworld, if she did not reveal the base's location. Fearing the loss of Alderaan, but understanding she could not betray her allies on Yavin 4, Leia lied to Tarkin and declared that the base was on distant Dantooine, isolated from the galaxy at-large. A smirking Tarkin, confident in his victory, continued with the operation to destroy Alderaan regardless, stating that Dantooine was "far too remote for an effective demonstration." Thus, Alderaan was destroyed by a single blast from the Death Star, an event that killed billions of sentients and sealed the fate of the Empire.

Tarkin still had matters with the Rebel base; a scout team was sent to Dantooine to ascertain whether or not there was indeed a base there. Meanwhile, the Millennium Falcon arrived in-system, carrying Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and R2-D2, who still had the Death Star's technical readouts. Trapped aboard the Death Star due to the massive array of tractor beams, Luke sought to rescue Leia while Obi-Wan went alone to disable the tractor beam generator and confront Darth Vader.

Tarkin ordered Leia's execution when he learned of her deceit; however, before the order could be carried through, she was rescued by Luke. A daring escape through the Death Star's corridors commenced. As they made it to the hangar to escape aboard the Falcon, a concerned Luke watched as Obi-Wan Kenobi faced off against his former apprentice, Darth Vader. With a knowing smile, Obi-Wan purposefully let down his guard and allowed himself to be cut down by Vader's lightsaber, immediately becoming one with the Force as his physical form disappeared.

-Battle Of Yavin-
Princess Leia: "Some day you'll learn that it's people and not things that decide history." Han Solo: "Better teach that to the Empire, first." Luke Skywalker: "That's the whole idea, Han." ―Conversation before the Battle of Yavin

-The Attack On The Death Star-
The Millennium Falcon escaped soon after, pursued by several TIE Fighters but ultimately allowed to escape by Tarkin, as he hoped that the Falcon would lead straight to the Rebel's hidden base. His plan proved effective; with a homing beacon secured aboard the ship, the Empire learned that the rebels were hiding on Yavin 4. After sending a platoon of Stormtroopers to the moon to confirm Rebel activity, all courses were set to the Yavin system to destroy the Alliance.

In the Great Temple, the technical readouts were analyzed and an attack plan was conceived by Jan Dodonna. With the Death Star looming overhead and entering into range to unleash its superlaser, Rebel ships took off in a desperate attempt to destroy the behemoth battle station. The plan called for cutting across the Death Star's equatorial trench and following it down to a small thermal exhaust port, where a single proton torpedo would be able to reach the Death Star's main reactor and set off a chain reaction, should it hit. In an intense battle, Rebel pilots attempted to stave off Imperial starfighters while attack runs were made against the exhaust port. Tarkin, underestimating the Alliance's chances, refused to send out more than a squadron of starfighters to deal with the Rebel problem; he ignored Chief Moradmin Bast's warnings of a threat to the exhaust port and continued with his descent upon Yavin IV.

As Rebel pilots continued to be destroyed one-by-one by Darth Vader and other Imperial pilots, Luke Skywalker, Biggs Darklighter, and Wedge Antilles made one last run against the trench. Vader killed Biggs and forced Wedge to retreat, and was moments away from shooting down his son, Luke, before Han Solo entered the fight with the Millennium Falcon. Solo managed to drive Vader out of the battle, giving Luke one shot at the thermal port. The attack succeeded, and moments later the Death Star exploded, taking with it millions of Imperial lives. Yavin 4, and the Alliance, was saved. Andrew and half of the 501st however survived since they boarded a star destroyer moments before the Death Stars destruction.

This pivotal moment secured Luke Skywalker's journey towards being a Jedi Knight, and marked a major turning point in the galactic war against the Empire. From then on, the Empire no longer took the Rebellion for granted; Palpatine issued directives to drastically increase the size of the military, expanding the armed forces to unprecedented levels to counter the threat of the Alliance and growing dissent across the galaxy.

-After Yavin-
The Battle of Yavin gave the Rebel Alliance credibility as a legitimate military threat to the Empire. However, the Rebel commanders knew that their celebrations would be short-lived. Because of the destruction of the Death Star, the Empire would focus all of its military might into destroying the Rebels. The Alliance began to evacuate the planet—complicated by an Imperial blockade.

-Capture Of Yavin base-
"By the time we landed on Yavin, whatever shock we'd felt at the destruction of the Death Star had been replaced by anger. For months we'd treated the Rebellion like a disobedient child, only to be repaid for our tolerance with treachery on an unimaginable scale. Frankly, I don't remember much of the fighting. I guess we won." ―Entry from the Journal of the 501st

Preparations were made immediately for a full-scale evacuation of Yavin base and relocation to another secure hideout. Jan Dodonna supervised evacuation efforts as a blockade was established around the system, led by Darth Vader and his newly minted Star Dreadnought, Executor. Andrew and the 501st Legion descended upon the planet with elements of the Imperial Army and began a siege of the Alliance temple and headquarters; during a series of skirmishes that lasted some time, many Alliance commanders and personnel were killed and Dodonna himself was captured, and presumed killed by the surviving Alliance personnel who managed to escape through the Imperial blockade. During the siege, Luke Skywalker, and other Rebel pilots, were successful in slipping through the blockade to perform covert missions and attempt to find a suitable planet to relocate from Yavin. One such mission took Luke to Fondor where he was able to see the final stages of the Executor's construction before its departure to Yavin; a subsequent mission saw Luke stumbling upon Hoth after an accident with a comet, which he reported back to Alliance Command as the perfect spot to relocate after Yavin was evacuated.

In order to help evacuation efforts, Ackbar led a fleet of Rebel cruisers in a diversionary assault on the nearby Vallusk Cluster; the assault was a success, with a significant portion of the Imperial fleet diverting its resources to dealing with Ackbar. However, the assault showed to Mon Mothma and other Alliance commanders the need for a stronger and unified fleet. Ackbar was promoted to Supreme Commander of the Rebel Fleet and military, and efforts were made to increase the size of the standard military.

Yavin 4 was fully subjugated by the Empire; survivors of the Rebel base dispersed, with most relocating to Hoth. The war continued.

The Battle Of Hoth
"No one ever complained about the cold on Hoth. We never felt it. Even though we were blinded by blizzards, we could see the final end of the Rebellion in our blaster sights. Was it only a mirage? Perhaps; but on that day, on that planet, our blood ran hot with dreams of victory, melting the ice that stood in our way." -An entry in the journal of the 501st

After tracking the rebels to the ice planet of Hoth via probe droids Andrew, Alpha Squad, the 501st, and the Empire fleet went to Hoth to hopefully destroy the rebels once and for all.

When the Imperial fleet came out of hyperspace in orbit over hoth, Lord Vader gave Andrew, Alpha Squad, and the 501st a special mission to complete before joining the main assault. Their mission- To Sneak into the rebel base and spy on their plans.

-Their Mission-
To Be Announced.

Leaving The Empire
To Be Announced.

Designing And Creating Spartan Armor
Once Andrew left the Empire he had no armor or weapons or really anything. So, he decided to create his own type of armor and weapons that he had been designing over the years. He had named it - Spartan Armor.

In his early designs, the armor was plain but equipped with many capabilities such as, night vision, heat signature locators, comms in both helmet and wrists, a built-in shield, a armor-lockup (which makes the armor impenetrable for a short time) and even a built-in jetpack.

Becoming A Jedi
"Well done on your success Andrew." "Thank you Master Skywalker." "I can sense that you are very strong with the force, would you maybe want to help me rebuild the Jedi order and temple? I can train you to be a Jedi also, if you want." "That would be an honor Luke thank you." "Your welcome." -Andrew and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker

After the Empire and the Galactic Civil War ended, Andrew was praised for his help in defeating the Empire and received a high award in the Rebel Alliance.

He was later thanked by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. When Luke met Andrew face to face for the first time he realized that Andrew was force-sensitive. So Luke asked Andrew to join and help him rebuild the Jedi Order and become a Jedi himself. Andrew accepted his offer and traveled to Coruscant with Luke to rebuild the destroyed Jedi Temple, the same one Andrew had attacked during Order 66.

❤Finding Love❤
"Hey, I'm Andrew" "Hi, I'm Jaina" "It's nice to meet you Jaina, guess we'll be seeing each other alot if your my "wingman" huh?" "Guess so" -Andrew and Jaina

-Meeting Jaina Solo-
Month's after joining the Rebellion and assigned to Rouge Squadron, Andrew met a fellow Rouge Squadron member named Jaina Solo. She was his "wingman" so they were together ALOT. She was also the only other Jedi in the squadron. After a couple months, Andrew began to have a crush on her but never told anyone (as did Jaina). Eventually they expressed their feelings and began to date each other.

-Dating Jaina-
To Be Announced.

-Her Family-
Andrew had to really impress her parents, who were the famous Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo. He also had to be careful of her twin brother Jacen since he was a somewhat protective brother (however that changed when he became Darth Caedus 2 months later). Andrew never had the chance to meet her younger brother Anakin since he had died a year before.

Larcon Legion
"We're the first and last to stand and fight!" -Leshaak Larcon

He has made many friends along the way. Mostly the generals, but he has made a lot of friends from that squad.

-History In Larcon Legion-
Andrew was one of the first to join Larcon Legion (Although when he joined it was named Zillo Squad) which was in 21.1 BBY along with Galen Neeligroam, Sara Joe, Kyp Durk, Rex Gwieldfighters, and the leader, Leshaak Larcon (Although when he joined Zillo squad, Leshaak was named Sig Larcon).

He started as a trooper (of course) and worked his way up to the rank of General and held it for about 2 years. Then in 20.1 BBY he left to create his squad "Shadow Tech Legion." About a year later in 20.7 BBY, he came back and (since he was there before) he was immediately promoted to a commander. He held the rank of commander for about 6 months then was promoted back to a General. He has held that rank ever since.

-August 10, 2013-
August 10, 2013 (20.8 BBY) was a very dark day for the first legion Lan Phaseripper was hacked by Chaz Wolf and half the squad was deleted and many fights grew and were produced because of this. Leshaak, seeing that the fighing would continue, decided to delete the legion. He hoped that would be a fresh start and would bring in many new clones and Jedi! Many members from the first legion followed Leshaak's new squad but others either joined another or quit squads completely.

The new and improved Larcon Legion began wonderfully and peacefully once again under the rule of Leshaak Larcon. In turn, everyone had to work their ranks back up, so today Andrew is a commander trying to get his rank as a general back.

-Clone Trooper Armor-
He is usually equipped with a Dc-15A Blaster Rifle, a Dc-15S Blaster, and a Dc-17m Rifle (with attachments). Andrew had many armors probably about 30 different armors, for any and every obstacle a mission can have. For normal assignments he usually wore his custom/modified red ARC trooper armor or commando armor (depending on mission). When he did assigments for the 501st Legion, he usually wore his custom/modified Blue ARC trooper or commando armor (depending on mission).

-Stormtrooper Armor-
When Andrew first received his stormtrooper armor he had just a plain white stormtrooper but with the normal 501st markings on it. But when his commanding officer died Andrew took his basically sandtrooper armor with 501st markings and a blue pauldron.

He was equipped with an E-11 Blaster rifle, a DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle, and imperial blaster pistol.

-Jedi Gear-
Once Andrew became a Jedi, he had robes like that of the old republic. He carried two lightsabers. One was a light green color and the other was a silver-like blue color.



-Sith Gear-
To Be Announced.

-Rebel Spartan Armor-
To Be Announced.

-Bounty Hunter Armor-
When Andrew went on a secret bounty hunter mission he used a special type of armor. Andrew used a custom, old republic-style armor. He was equipped with two heavy pistols.
