Sergeant Oh-Seven

"You scared shiny?"

"Yes sir. Is that bad?"

"No, courage is doing what you're afraid to do. Thee can be no courage unless you are scared. Remember: success isn't final; failure isn't fatal it is the courage to continue that counts. Keep your fears to yourself kid, but share your courage with others."

-Oh-Seven talking to the newest member of Eta Squad ETA-39 "Spear"

Beginning
RC-1507, ETA-07, or "Oh-Seven" as he was nicknamed was one of may clones born to be commandos. His independent tendencies always seemed to amaze the kaminoans. Because of this he was assigned as a sergeant and was to lead Eta Squad. Like the other commandos he was trained by Walon Vau, a harsh and temperamental instructor. Though some felt he was a cruel and harsh teacher (Atin Skirata) Oh-Seven highly respected him and made it known to Vau later on. Eta squad worked closely with Omega Squad and Delta Squad as well as ARC-3497 "Tucker" and was a good friend of Marshal Commander Hitch and his 495th Marine legion.

Geonosis
As most commandos did Eta first saw action on Geonosis. At the time the members were as follows: Sergeant Oh-Seven (ETA-07) leader of Eta, RC Horn (ETA-93) XO of Eta, RC Flash (ETA-11) demo expert of Eta, RC Blade (ETA-56) sniper of Eta. Their job was the destruction of a Geonosian weapons factory. After they were to escape into the catacombs. Though the plan failed when the Geonosians collapsed the tunnels and they were forced to fight their way out.

Felucia
Felucia was probably the worst for Eta Squad. Setback after setback until one fateful night. They were camped near a CIS outpost when 3 Acklays charged out of the jungle. Blade killed one with a single shot to the eye. Oh-Seven and Horn killed another. As Flash attacked the 3rd acklay it attacked Blade and mortally wounded him. Blade jammed his virbroblade into the acklays throat and it let go of him and retreated. He died 2 minutes later. Eta Squad never forgot Blade nor did those who served with him. Tales of his courage spread throughout the military and his legacy inspired other commandos to find courage.

More coming later....
