- Ben Yoakido ordering his men during the Battle of Coruscant

Ben Yoakido was a Correlia born Human Male who spent his young adult life trying to fit in. After being almost shunned from his old life, Ben fled Correlia and headed to Coruscant and served as a Republic Commanding Officer. He also took part in the years of the Clone Wars. Ben was present during the Battle of Coruscant and took high command in an attempt to knock out the Invisible Hand's shields. Eventually, after Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi took out the shields and landed in the hangar. Although he was onboard when the Invisible Hand was nearly destroyed, he was in one of the escape pods that Grievous launched and followed the cyborg to Utapau. There, he alerted Chancellor Palpatine the location of Grievous and the Separatist Council. After returning to Coruscant, he was to fly Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar to the Chancellor's Office because Palpatine was the true Sith Lord and cause of the Clone Wars. However, the attempt failed thanks to Anakin, who was now Palpatine's new apprentice Darth Vader. During the fight, Ben rescued Mace Windu, who was betrayed by Skywalker, had his right hand cut off, and was nearly shocked to death by Palpatine's Force lightning. He then met up with Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto, who were minorally injured. Agen Kolar, however, was dead. The Jedi were label enemies of the new Galactic Empire and Palpatine ended the Clone Wars, labeling himself Emperor. Ben was expected to serve the Empire, but secretly joined the militia of Rahm Kota and spied on the Empire. He then helped form the Rebel Alliance and served in the years to come.
