"They told us that we were made to serve the Republic and to give our lives if so... On Umbara Captain Rex made me realize that we are more than just mindless soldiers that our purpose was more than being just a soldier.."

- CT-6893

CT-6893, nicknamed Brando, was a clone trooper during the Clone Wars and was part of Hellfire sqaud his sqaud members where Jan Templar, Falco, Kilso, Vak and Sev. Brando later during the war became a Company Sergeant in Torrent Company a unit of the famed 501st Legion in the Grand Army of the Republic, a First Lieutenant in his service in the Galactic Empire and a Captain in the Rebel Alliance corps and later Renegade Sqaudron. Brando served under the command of Captain Rex and General Skywalker and was a loyal tough, agressive trooper although the loyalty to his brothers and his commanders was a constant conflict in himself during the near end of the Clone Wars. After the Galactic Civil War he was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). He had a strong friendship with Captain Rex. Brando was highly respected among the members of Torrent Company due to having his sqaud survive the First Battle Of Geonosis and the Battle of Jabiim. Brando met Padawan Ashoka Tano aboard the Resolute and became friends. After the Clone Wars he then had a loyal but distrespectful relationship with his fellow non-clone Imperial Commanders but half of the Commanders failed to live to tell the tale. Brando was accused of being a Imperial Spy by General Kota soon after the General soon found out Brando and his sqaud where clones but with the help of Captain Juno Eclipse and Kota saw reason. Brando and his squad where picked to assist X2 to search the Galaxy to find X1.

Early life
Brando was a quiet cadet during his time on Kamino he was rough and enthusiastic when it came to the practical training sessions being hosted by Jedi Clone X2 and X1 who knew that Brando and his squad where ready to see the fighting and saw a little bit of themselves in Brando's squad. At the beginning of their training practice unknowingly Jango Fett the bounty hunter who gave his DNA to be cloned was watching their performance. The practice ended with Hellfire squad failing, Jango spoke to them afterwards and he offered to train them till they needed to retake the test. When they took part in the test they succeed with Jango Fett personally giving them their graduation medals.

Career
Brando had been promoted to Corporal on the Battle of Geonosis after destroying a small Separatist droid foundry and crushing a whole hive of Geonosians and was promoted to Clone Sergeant on the Battle of Felucia for destroying a Separatist communications post during the mid of the Clone Wars and was a Lieutenant in the Galactic Empire and after leaving the Empire he joined the Rebel Alliance and was a 2nd Lieutenant but in Renegade Squadron was promoted to Captain.

First Battle of Geonosis
Brando was sent to Geonosis to rescue the Jedi in the Arena although the rescue was a success but they lost one trooper during the operation which who was one of Brando's closest brothers. As they flew down to the battle to drop off Mace Windu Brando was taken to the foward Command post along wih Master Yoda. Minutes later Brando and his sqaud where needed on a high vaule target capture mission, their target was Count Dooku. Padme Amidala saw to that she was the one to capture Count Dooku as well so she voluntereed to come along. Once they got there Count Dooku had already fled the building with Brando, Padme and his sqaud trying to shoot his starship down but to only have him still fleeing Geonosis. Later the 501st where mopping up droid forces on Geonosis lead by Mace Windu. While the battle commenced the 501st where reaching a small droid foundry as they where heading towards it Brando's friend Sharp was dragged down to the catacombs by a Geonosian worker. Brando and his sqaud where following the screams of his brother through the catacombs killing Geonosian troops in his path. Until the screams stopped he was just a room away, he blew the door and found Sharp dead. His chest plate filled with slashes and stab holes. Brando set detonaters and blew the foundry and it sunk to the ground. From then on Brando could never get Sharp's screams out of his head.

Battle of Jabiim
During the battle of Jabiim the 501st where sent to Jabiim and suffered heavy losses. Brando and Alpha during the battle saved a crew of clone troopers from the wreckage of a LA-AT Gunship. As they where heavily out numbered Alpha formed a two team strike force to rescue the survivors. Team One would cover Team Two while they got the survivors out of the wreckage. While they where saving the crew the enemey force where surrounding Alphas strike treams. As Alpha called a plea for LA-AT air support Brando was shot in the shoulder but still carried on the fight. Once the LA-AT Gunships came to assit the two teams secured the survivors on the gunships. Near the end of the battle Brando was constantly in close quater combat with the Jabiim soldiers mowing down 45 Jabiim soldiers while trying to the reach the extraction. Brando could hear the screams of fellow 501st troopers being torn apart by the Jabiim forces. He attempted to jump of the gunship to rescue them but he felt the grip of Padawan Anikan Skywalker pulling him onto the evac ship.

RAS Prosecutor
Torrent Company where stationed on the RAS Prosecutor for two weeks to assist with preventing Separatist forces from reaching Corellian space. However Trandoshan forces attacked the ship. Brando and his squad barely survived the attack. When the squad witnessed executions of Clone troopers Brando planned to rescue clone troopers throughout the ship. Under the floor in the ship Hellfire managed to build a small base and a medical camp from the medical bay. They managed to save 29 clone troopers during the battle.

First Battle of Kamino
Brando and his squad where holding off battle droids trying to land in one of Tropicas main hangers. When Brando saw that it would be a defeat an ARC Trooper squad called "Night Fury" helped Brando and his squad defeat the droids in the hangar. And Brando witnessed the deaths of young clone cadets which haunts him still.

Second Battle of Kamino
""Mandorlorian Protecters?? Ha! more like Madorlorian Rankweeds!!""

- Brando to Sev during the attack on the Republic Garrison

Brando and his squad where also part of the Clone Garrison that foiled the Separatist and Mandolorian invasion how ever Templar was injured during the battle. Brando could not beleive his eyes when he witnessed a fellow clone named spar working with the CIS. Before Brando could confirm what he saw he was attacked by a Mandolorian Protector Commander who in the end Brando killed. Hellfire squad along with the other clone troopers in that garrison foiled a plan to destroy the cloning facility on Kamino, they where congratulated among the high leaders of the Republic.

Third Battle of Kamino
""If the Seps are coming back again to Kamino they better bring their best droids to crush the 501st!""

- Brando to Fives and Echo during their land on Kamino

The 501st where sent back to Kamino which meant Brando and his squad would be back to defend the planet. Brando and his sqaud held of a squadron of aqua droids with the help of a single ARC trooper and jedi Shaak Ti. When the battle was reaching its end Brando ran to the aid of General Skywalker and thankfully to Brando's efforts he was able to steal the DNA container which was earlier stolen by Separatist Assassin Asajj Ventress. Hellfire squad was congratulated by the high leaders of Republic for single highhandedly saving the Republic and its cloning facilities for a second time.

Battle of Christophsis
Brando was part of the 501st force on Christophsis and held off the Seperatists first attack at the crippled Republic force camp. While fighting off the driod forces Brandos sqaudmate Templar was injured from an explosion and broke his leg. After gaining a friend from the 212th Attack Battion a Clone Private named Colt ordered his squad mates Kup and Dareen to extract Templar while the rest gave cover fire. After the costly battle the Seperatist launched a second attack but with a deflector shield which could withstand the force of heavy cannons General Skywalker and his Padawan Ashoka Tano sneaked behind enemey lines to destroy the deflector shield. While the Clones defended the heavy cannons Brando was in close quater combat with a Super Battle Droid which was choking Brando and was ready to blast him in the chest but General Obi-Wan Kenobi sliced the droids arm and Brandos skin was saved. Brando, Colt and their sqauds held off the opposing force and the Jedi destroyed the shield which gave the Heavy cannons a chance to destroy most of the enemy force so the rest of the clone trooper infantry can mop up the remaining droid forces.

Battle of Teth
""All this for a hutt?""

- Brando to Sev on Teth

Brando and the 501st forces where sent to Teth to rescue Jabba's son in the monastary. Once they landed they climbed up the clif and to meet the droid resistance. Torrent Company was lost on the way up. Once they secured the monastary General Skywalker and Padawan Tano found Jabba's son. As they made contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi the CIS made their second attack Brando held off the temple but soon found himself and six other clones prisoner. Captain Rex broke free of his capture followed by Brando, Jan Templar they held off the droids at the downed AT-AT and survived until the 212th reinforcements came.

Battle of Orto Plutonia
""Whoa thats a lot of angry natives!""

- Brando

A Republic outpost on Orto Plutonia was no longer operational. The 501st where sent in to investigate to find that the Republic troopers where killed. A droid outpost was also attacked by the same forces that attacked the Republic outpost which they found out was a race native to the planet named the Taltz. Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi met the leader of the Taltz and issued a meeting between Chairman Chi Cho which ended up the with the Taltz declaring war. Brando and Templar along with a platoon of troopers where order to protect the chairman. Brando, Templar and Captain Rex where the last of the survivors.

Battle on Naboo
""No no no! some of the virus got in here! we didn't close the door fast enough!""

- Brando

When Senator Padmé Amidala and Representative Jar Jar Binks were captured while searching for a secret Separatist lab on Naboo, they find out that the Labs scientist Dr.Nuvo was creating the return of the Blue Shadow virus.The 501st where sent to stop Dr. Nuvo Vindi from releasing the deadly Blue Shadow Virus. Unfortunately, Vindi's assistant droid took one of the virus containers and put it into a bomb. The droid detonated the bomb, which quickly spread the virus throughout the bunker. Anakin and Obi-wan were outside with the scientist when the virus was released, so to save the republic forces trapped in the bunker, they went in search of an antidote on Iego. The virus almost killed everyone inside, including Rex, Ahsoka, Padmé, and Brandos squad but fortunately the antidote was found in time, and all infected were cured.

Battle of Ryloth
The 501st where sent to liberate a city on Ryloth. Brando and his sqaud where sent out on patrols to mop up outposts of Droid forces left on that sector of Ryloth.

Evacuating on Felucia
212th and 501st forces being lead by Both General Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Skywalker where at some point during a battle on Felucia where surrounded by CIS forces. The 104th Battalion being lead by General Plo Koon and Commander Wolfee rescued the surrounded forces.

Deavron
A bounty hunter by the name of Cad Bane stole a Jedi Holocron and was being guarded by a Separatist fleet. Captain Rexc assembled half of Brando's sqaud to get back the holocron and was to either capture Cad Bane or kill him. Brando and the other members along with the mission fought there way to the evacuation point when the mission went downhill. Brando's close brother Denal was killed by the bounty hunter and Brando realized this when the bounty hunter was leaking blood on to the Republic cruiser which he infiltrated aboard when Brando was in pursuit of Cad Bane he was in rage after the death of Denal but with Captain Rex's help he was able to let it his anger go.

The Zilo Beast of Malastare
""Rex grab my hand!!!" "Arrgh!""

- Brando reaching his hand out to Rex

The CIS planned a invasion of Malastare which prevented the Republic from gaining important fuel for its army. The Republic sent out its forces to fight the CIS forces. During this battle the men of the 501st where ordered to hold out until the Republic could test their new military experiment a EMP bomb which would win the battle over the large CIS force. When the Y-wing bombers dropped the EMP onto the CIS army it exploded and a EMP shock destroyed the droids along with setting every Separatist and Republic technology fried. Minutes later a large sinkhole erupted which dragged down a large number of clone and AT-AT infantry down. The battle was won but the Republic sent teams to rescue the fallen troopers. They soon discovered that a Zilo beast was to emerge from the sinkhole. The Malastare Military dropped fuel bombs to kill the creature but with very little success. The beast emerged causing destruction but with Anakin Skywalker they where able to tazer the Zilo beast causing it to be unconscious. They took the beast back to Coruscant where it escaped Republic custody and was killed. Brando and his squad watched the beast die from their quarters.

Second Battle of Geonosis
""I was part of the first battle... i lost a brother named Sharp i went down and killed everyone single one of the those bugs!""

- Brando

The Republic where sent back to Geonosis because of Poggle overseeing a droid foundry being built. The 501st where back to oversee the fall of Geonosis a second time. the 212th, Nova and the 501st where meant to form up on the specific location but the Seperatists saw through the plan and only the 212th made it to landing point rain. General Skywalker leading the 501st and Master Ki- Mundi lead the Nova battalion.Both battalions where scattered. The 501st managed to take out a turrent wall and the Nova Corps took out a hive both forces taking heavy losses. They regrouped at point rain to see the 212th largely outnumbered and on the brink of being overrun but thanks to the air support the 212th survived. All three battalions pushed to take out a communications post. In the aftermath the 212th and Nova Corps where replaced by the 41st elite to finish the job. Both the 501st and 41st Elite pushed towards the factory. Brando was having painful memories of Sharp and other Clone troopers that where killed in the battle and the first battle. Brando and his squad met a 41st Elite squad named Wildfire there squad leader was named Derak. Derak met Brando and his sqaud after Templar was having trouble trying to fix and turret. However Derak was a weapons specialist and fixed the turret. Ashoka Tano and Barris Offee where on a mission to take out the factory without being detected. The stealth side of the mission failed so they resort to taking the factory down with them hoping to save millions of lives from being murdered at the hands of the droid foundry. Both squads saw the end of the droid factory. And was there to see Ashoka and Barris freed from the wreckage.

Mandalorian Affairs
""Redeye? report? Mixer come in!. "Captain Rex, Mixer and Redeye aren't reporting from their search, you need to come down here.""

- Brando

The Mandalorian Death Watch, a terrorist splinter group allied with the Confederacy, later emerged in opposition to Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore. The pacifistic New Mandalorians. With Kryze's life in danger, Brando was assigned with Skywalker, Kenobi, Rex and Cody to escort Kryze to Coruscant, where she intended to reinstate her people's position of neutrality before the Galactic Senate. Rex, Cody, Skywalker, and Hellfire and Chain ring squad met with Kenobi who had started an investigation into false rumors that Kryze had joined the Confederacy. En route to the Republic capital, Skywalker and Kenobi gathered their troops in the cargo hold for a briefing. The Jedi told the clones to stay vigilant for the Death Watch, which would stop at nothing to assassinate Kryze before she reached Coruscant. Rex and Cody sent their men to begin their rounds of the cargo bay, patrolling for any signs of danger, while Skywalker and Kenobi left to meet with Kryze. Brando reported to Rex that Redeye and Mixer have not reported. Rex called in Skywalker to assist and as they searched they found assassin droids on board. They found one and destroyed while the other retreated. The dead droid spawned small droids to attack the clones anmd Skywalker. a clone private named Evo was killed by the small assassins. The group defeated the small droids and continued to search for the remaining droids. Until the CIS staged an attack and Super battle droids boarded the Croyonet. A traitor had kidnapped Satine Kryze and threated to blow up the Croyonet but Anakin Skywalker impaled him with his lightsabre and Satine was safe to go before the Galactic Senate.

Frontline on Felucia
Having become a foothold of Separatist strength since the beginning of the Clone Wars, Felucia was engulfed in conflict for a second time on account of being situated near the valuable hyperlane known as the Perlemian Trade Route. The 501st went with Skywalker and Tano to repel the Confederacy from Felucia, leading a clone trooper division of AT-TE walkers into the heart of enemy territory. They encountered squads of battle droids as they went but gained much ground, eventually joining forces with Plo Koon and Commander Wolffe to capture a Confederate outpost, to which General Grievous was sending reinforcements to fortify his hold on the system. Before the main assault Torrent Company where heading in by Gunship but to be shot down by CIS artillery. Hellfire squad was close to a Separatist communications post and proceeded to destroy it. Using the environment to their advantage they took the base with nature and their weaponry. The destruction of the base cased General Greivous to lose contact with most of his forces on Felucia. When Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano rescued Hellfire Captain Rex promoted them to Company Sergeants and earned the right to bare Torrent Company markings.

As night fell, the Jedi and clones moved their forces to a ridge overlooking the outpost just as a C-9979 landing craft arrived with the droid reinforcements. Koon decided on a three-pronged assault plan to secure the outpost while Koon and Wolffe attacked the base's left flank, Tano would breach the rear entrance with troops from Wolffe's Wolfpack a squad within the Grand Army's 104th Battalion Skywalker and Rex, meanwhile, would spearhead the frontal assault on the station. Once Skywalker's Felucian scouts had found them a secure way to the path leading to the outpost, Rex positioned half of Hellfire a midst the dense foliage on one side of the path, while Skywalker did the same along the other side with the other half of Hellfire. With all of their forces in place, Koon had their AT-TE walkers deliver long-range fire at the outpost from the ridge. The cannonades baited tactical droid commander TZ-33's droid defenders out of the front entrance, and Skywalker and Rex began their attack once several DSD1 dwarf spider droids had been lured out into the jungle. Rex and Skywalker cut through the battle droids and joined Koon in capturing the base's command center, eliminating TZ-33. Although the enemy station had been secured, Tano was nowhere to be found—unbeknownst to her comrades, Trandoshan hunters had captured her for hunt on the moon Wasskah. Rex and his team received orders to return to Coruscant the next morning. As they prepared to leave Felucia, Skywalker had Rex and his men search the conquered outpost and the surrounding area for Tano several times, to no avail. With gunships waiting for them, Skywalker was forced to call off the search, hoping that Republic forces or spies in the Confederacy would locate his Padawan. Tano was later rescued from Wasskah and safely returned to the Jedi Temple.

The Shadow of Umbara
""Fives.. if what you say is true then i believe you but to say that Krell send us off to kill our own brothers! that's a bit out of hand!" "Brando he just ordered us to kill our brothers can you not see that?" "But our duty?" "Our duty as soldiers Brando is to do what's right... he is not a Jedi nor our General he has committed treason and forced you to kill your own brothers.. are with us" "Sir, yes sir!""

- Fives convincing Brando about the acts of treason Pong Krell had committed before the arrest on Umbara

As the Confederacy strengthened its control of vital but isolated supply routes throughout the galaxy, a major point of contention became the planet Umbara the Umbaran people had recently driven from the Republic and were arming the Confederacy with their extremely advanced military weaponry. The Republic responded to Umbara's defection by sending a full invasion force from the Grand Army to secure the strategic Umbara system, which was located in the Expansion Region's remote Ghost Nebula. As part of the numerous units dispatched to Umbara, Rex and the 501st Legion joined Skywalker and Kenobi's 212th Attack Battalion aboard one of the Republic fleet's lead Acclamator-class transports. After Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee breached the Separatist blockade of Umbara, Skywalker and Kenobi's assault ship moved in on the Shadow World so named because the Ghost Nebula eternally shrouded it in night. While their troops prepared to land on Umbara, Skywalker and Kenobi held a briefing in the hangar bay with Rex, Commander Cody, and other troopers to outline the plan for capturing the capital city. Jedi Generals Saesee Tiin and Pong Krell would be supporting Kenobi and Cody's battle group in their southward attack on the Umbaran capital, while Skywalker, Rex, and the 501st Legion were tasked with intercepting enemy reinforcements to the north of the city. Opposing the Republic forces would be the heavily armed Umbaran Soldiers of the Umbaran militia. Brandos squad where given orders to destroy Umbaran Artillery that where firing rounds into the sky bring down their LAAT Gunships and their mortar rounds on the ground troops. They completed their objective killing Umbaran Soldiers on the way. Brando learned the his old friend ARC trooper Fives would be assisting in the battlefield. When the 501st secured a trench line forward the the capital the Umbarans where ready to attack but first sent a Millicreep droid to pick some other 501st troopers. While Hellfire stood their ground fending of the attackers Captain Rex noticed an opening on the south ridge they could fall back and Rex would call in an airstrike on the Umbarans positions. When they fell back Brando met up with a Rookie trooper he had met a month beforce named Sling who was a AT-RT driver. When the 501st where recovering from the attack General Krell told General Skywalker that he was ordered to inform General Skywalker to go back to Coruscant on urgent matters and that General would take over for the time being.

Krell a hard leader who strictly observed protocol dismissed his words as mere flattery and made it clear that his command style was of a much different temperament than that of Skywalker. Despite recognizing that Krell would be difficult to work with, Rex readied his men to move out with their new general for the capital. Rather than sticking with Skywalker's original plan for a myriad of surgical strikes, Krell opted to pit the entirety of the 501st platoons against the city's defenses in a full frontal assault a plan that Rex saw as misguided, as it would surely engender high casualties. Despite Rex's concerns that they did not know the extent of the Umbaran defenses, Krell refused to let his orders be questioned and ordered the captain to lead the 501st toward the capital, explicitly instructing him to continue marching regardless of Umbaran resistance. Rex reluctantly obeyed Krell's directives and led the 501st platoons and AT-RT walkers on the route to the city, while Krell remained behind to command them from a distance. Sev, Kilso, Jan, Tup and Fives saw the plan as reckless, but though Rex acknowledged that he, too, disagreed with Krell's strategy, he focused his men on staying alert on the battlefield. They soon encountered mines that had been planted along the road, and Ringo and Oz died in the detonations. While everyone else laid low, Rex had Fives execute a sensor sweep of the road ahead to root out any more waiting mines.

There where more explosions followed by a Umbaran ambush. More troopers where killed Rex ordered his men to maintain their position on the road. As the Umbarans surrounded them Brando along with Fives where forced to use hand to hand combat with Brando killing six with his blaster and two with hand to hand combat. Rex ordered a retreat and with the rest of the platoon stationed with Krell gave cover fire to the the survivors and Rexs small unit. After the Umbarans retreated Krell went off at Rex for disobeying his orders. Fives stood by Rex but with Krells lightsaber he was forced to stand down. Rex Confronted Krell telling him that his troopers was one of his main priorities and that their safety was imported. Soon after Krell left Rex and his troopers the Umbarans attacked them again but while the 501st stood their ground they held off their attackers.

Krell decided that they would besiege the airbase in another full forward assault, as they had without success against the capital's defenses. As Rex pointed out, the narrow ravine would force them into single squads,which would make them easy targets for enemy fire. Although Rex recommended that they look for a more secure route, Krell decreed that they did not have time to do so because Kenobi was urgently depending on their success. Despite again disagreeing, Rex heeded his orders. While 501st Sergeant CC-1119, nicknamed "Appo," remained with Krell, Rex gathered his men at the bottom of the cliff and organized them into two divisions, one that he would personally lead and another that Fives and Hardcase would oversee. Many of the troops including Jesse, Kix, Tup, and Fives objected to Krell's tactics, and though Rex tried to defend Krell's recklessness by citing Skywalker's similar traits, Fives remained opposed to their interim general's decisions. Taking Fives aside, Rex tried to convince his comrade to ease the others' minds. When Fives argued that Krell's plan was too costly and not worth following, Rex reminded him that their duty was to follow orders, even if that meant sacrificing their lives for victory.

Rex led his men into the canyon, and after stopping to survey the airbase's defenses one last time with Hardcase and Fives, he split the 501st squads into the two groups. While Rex and his team marched along the outskirts of the canyon, Fives took his division through the other side of the gorge. Brando. Jan,Sev and Vak where with Fives. Kilso, Templar and Falco where with Rexs group. Fives's detachment was the first to meet Umbaran resistance in the form of an Impeding Assault Tank, a deadly crawler tank that burrowed out of the ground to ambush them. As several of the ray-shielded tanks surrounded them, Fives requested rocket launcher support from Rex, who sent one of his men forward with an RPS-6 launcher. Two of Slings squad members named Hill and Vip"r where killed. Vip'r was killed in an explosion when he was retreating along with the rest of the unit and Hills was shot by a blaster on the tank which Sev witnesses. When another Impeding Assault Tank injured that soldier, Kix tended to the fallen trooper while Hardcase took up the rocket launcher. By firing a missile directly into the cockpit of one of the tanks, Hardcase set off a chain reaction that blew apart the vehicle. There were still four more Impending Assault Tanks to counter, however, and Rex ordered his men to regroup and take cover from the mechanical monstrosities. With only a few seconds' lead over the tanks, Rex had his troops plant thermal detonators along the ravine corridor through which the tanks were advancing. The soldiers then retreated into the bottleneck, luring the crawlers into the booby-trapped passage.

Once the tanks had fallen into their trap, Rex detonated the explosives, and he was blown into the air from the resulting explosion that consumed the four tanks. He and his men continued on in a single group, making their way through the seared wreckage of the tanks, one of which was still active. At Rex's word, Hardcase blasted its cockpit apart with a missile, and Rex made quick work of its Umbaran pilot. The clones also cut through several banshees that had been picking at some of their slain comrades, though Rex had to order Kix to leave behind the fallen and move on. As they neared the airbase, Rex and his men halted when they felt the ground shudder from doubtlessly more Umbaran forces. Sure enough, when Rex surveyed the area ahead with electrobinoculars, he saw that a far more deadly threat had been unleashed upon them titanic six-legged juggernauts known as Umbaran mobile heavy cannons, each fitted with a powerful electromagnetic plasma cannon. He hurriedly ordered his men to fall back as the mobile heavy cannons opened fire, but the 501st platoons suffered severe casualties. Despite soliciting reinforcements from Krell, Rex was told that the rest of the 501st was guarding the entrance to the gorge so that his men could press forward to the airbase. During the danger Sling was blown from his walker and fell into a deadly mutated spike. Brando ran off to Sling with Sev close behind. Brando saved him and took him back to Kix.

Forced to obey Krell's direct order to stand his ground against the cannons, Rex mobilized his men, directing Kix to keep the wounded as quiet as possible Kix ordered Brando to help him get the wounded and left the squad to defend and keep the wounded quiet. Although Fives and Jesse objected to Krell's head-on plan, neither of them had any ideas for an alternative strategy, so they fell in line with Rex in spite of their misgivings. Their RPS-6 launchers proved ineffective against the mobile cannons' armor, and the 501st troops continued to endure egregious losses. In the tumult, Kix called out for help with getting the wounded to safety, and Rex helped him carry Brando who was injured by the falling tank. He was carried to cover in nearby vegetation. When Kix made to rescue more of the wounded and resented Rex's orders for the contrary, Rex told Kix that he needed to survive the current crisis to be able to administer aid later. Although Tup was losing hope that they would be able to hold out, Rex, surveying the airbase once more, had an idea about how to destroy the juggernauts. He sent Fives and Hardcase to commandeer two of the base's Umbaran starfighters, which would provide some much-needed air support.Brando was ordered to guard the wounded while Kix fixed them up. Krell was infuriated when he learned of Rex's alternative plan and ordered him to continue his frontal strike under threat of being relieved of duty. Rex did so with the intention of distracting the Umbarans long enough for Fives and Hardcase to complete their stealth incursion, placing his trust in them.As Fives and Hardcase went to hijack the Umbaran aircraft Brando noticed an Umbaran scout in the vegetation. Brando went after to him and killed him. Brando saw a platoon of Umbarans heading towards their wounded. Brando stole some high explosive grenades from the dead Umbaran and used against the platoon and shot down the survivors.

Hardcase and Fives succeed their mission and as they flew to help Rex and the rest of the platoon Brando saw them flying over and attacking the Umbaran juggernauts. They soon later headed for the airfield and Fives had found a underground bunker that was under the airbase and Rex had ordered Brando and his squad to take the bunker and use the Umbaran mobile tanks to taker out the Umbaran artillery. Brando throughout the campaign had seen twice a Umbaran Commander and again saw him in the bunker. Through out the bunker Umbarans where killed and they found the mobile tanks and used them against the artillery. The Umbaran Commander had retreated into the command tower and Brando chased him down to killing four Umbaran troopers defending the Commander. Brando and the Commander where in hand to hand combat and the Commander tryed to kill Brando with a knife but Brando used his blaster to shove it up against his chin and pulled the trigger.After that the rest of the 501st took the airbase.

Against the Krell
"Brando... give.. give this to my girl on Ryloth..... her name is... is Shar'ee" "No Sling stay with me Sling please don't go! " "Tell her that her i care for her......." "

Brando at Slings side as he dies with Fives, Kix and Rex watching over

The 501st Legion established a staging area at the Umbaran airbase, making use of its barracks and attempting to crack the Umbaran starfighter access codes so that they could be converted for Republic use. However, the capture of the base had come at high casualties, further sowing mistrust with Krell's leadership within the 501st ranks. Furthermore, Krell and Rex soon discovered from Kenobi that the seizure of the airbase had not, ultimately, severed the capital's supply lines as they had hoped. Brando was at Slings deathbed and Sling had given Brando a Holopad and a necklace carved with a Madolorian peace and love symbol in brown and white. As they rested at the base Fives, Hardcase and Jesse had committed a brave act and treason Hardcase had died during the mission and had hit Brandos squad, Rex,Fives,and Jesse hard. General Krell had ordered that Jesse and Fives would be executed. Brando, Sev and Kilso where part of the execution squad. Dogma lead the execution.Although Fives before was shot was able to convince the execution squad along with the Clone troopers witnessing the execution that they where doing the wrong thing murdering brothers and that there not just mindless droids and if something they thought was wrong they should stand up to it. Dogma attempted to carry on the execution but no one would follow him.

Krell called Rex and Dogma back to the command tower, where they faced his extreme displeasure at their disobedience. Rex stood up to Krell a second time, meeting his threats for retribution with stoic determination of his own. Their standoff was interrupted by an incoming transmission from trooper Waxer of Cody's 212th Attack Battalion who, like Rex, was a veteran of the Battle of Ryloth and the Second Battle of Geonosis. Rex was unaware that the message had been forged. Waxer alleged that the Umbarans had ambushed a clone platoon and had pilfered weapons and armor, warning that they could be gearing up for a devastating attack. Postponing Jesse and Fives's punishment and ordering them back to confinement, Krell had Rex mobilize his men to preempt the Umbarans with a preliminary strike, making a point to warn the clones not to be confused by the enemies' armor. Rex then set off with Tup, Dogma, and a forward platoon into the brier fens of the forest.Rex lead the platoon into the forest and soon they 212th Battalion platoon who where as well told that the Umbarans took Clone armor and weapons fired at Rex and his men. Brando stood his ground so did the other troopers. Brando killed twelve clones and until he was about to fire at his old close brother Colt Rex grabbed Colt and took his helmet off and showed both 212th and 501st soldiers that they where killing each other. After the battle Rex rounded up all the survivors and headed to the tower and tryed to arrest Krell. they stormed into the control room and surrounded Krell, training their blasters on him. Rex informed Krell that he was being relieved of duty and demanded his surrender, though Krell responded by proclaiming the clones' inferiority and releasing a massive Force pulse against his would-be captors. Krell activated his double-bladed lightsabers and used them to great effect, cutting through many of the soldiers in a matter of moments; Rex narrowly avoided being hit by a corpse that Krell kicked in his direction. Refusing to let Rex and the clone troopers undermine him, Krell broke out of the command tower, smashing through the viewing window and forcing his way through the troops who confronted him below. By the time Rex made it to ground level with Jesse, Fives, and the others, Krell had escaped into the forest, leaving behind a long trail of carnage. Before they could pursue, Rex and his comrades were challenged by Dogma, who tried to retain his loyalties to his general, proclaiming that all of the clones were traitors.Rex and Tup convinced him to drop the blaster he dropped it and two troopers arrested him.Rex led the remainder of his men into the jungle after Krell, splitting them into groups to search for their rogue general. After a while, Rex checked with the other squads to see if anyone had found any sign of Krell. One of the other units had encountered him, and Fives spotted them up ahead all of them fell to Krell's blades. Approaching Rex and his squad, Krell jumped into the trees and used the Force to magnify his voice, taunting the clone troopers and their loyalty to him. Krell then revealed himself and attacked, dealing a great number of losses. While Rex tried to hold the line with Fives and their diminishing troops, he was contacted via comlink by Tup, who had a plan to defeat Krell that required the general being lured toward him. Rex observed Tup's request to trust him and ordered everyone to circle around Krell and lead him in Tup's direction. They soon saw Tup's idea: to maneuver Krell into the waiting tentacles of a ravenous vixus, a threat that even the Jedi Master did not expect to encounter.The troopers moved in for the kill but where forced pushed back. Krell cut himslef lose but to only get stunned by Tup. Krell was executed by Tup and Brando was in doubt about everything but Rex told him that they where not mindless droids that they were men.

The Zygerrian Slave Empire
"Am i alright alright??" "Yeah yeah buddy your doing fine" "Is Rex here" "Am i gonna make it" "Yeah Brando you'll make it"

Kix fixing up Brando with Rex by their side

Following the Confederacy's invasion of the Togrutan artisan colony of Kiros a peaceful society that had, up until that point, avoided being ensnared. The Jedi High Council sent a Grand Army detachment led by Skywalker, Tano, and Kenobi to liberate the world. Troops from Rex's 501st Legion and Cody's 212th Attack Battalion were assigned to the joint task force, which arrived at Kiros aboard a Republic Navy fleet ten rotations after the Separatists' arrival. Rex served as one of the officers aboard Skywalker's new flagship, a Venator-class Star Destroyer that had replaced the Resolute, which had fallen at the previous Battle of Sullust. Rex discovered that there were no Separatist craft in the system from the earlier invasion force, and on Kenobi's order he moved their Star Destroyer into position for deployment. The Republic troops transferred to an Acclamator-class transport, whereupon they departed for the surface with AT-TE and AT-RT walkers aboard LAAT/i gunships. Upon landing in the capital city, Skywalker and Kenobi elected to patrol the city for Separatist activity on BARC speeders. Rex manned the sidecar of Kenobi's speeder while Tano rode with Skywalker, with other speeder-mounted 501st troopers falling into line behind them as they proceeded through the city streets.When Kenobi moved into the building a bomb was detonated killing some troopers and injuring Colt and Brando. Brando was attended by Skywalker later by Kix and Rex. Brando was in the Medical Bay in a dizzy state.

Battle for Ringo Vinda
"''Tup are you alright?? Rex let me in there!!" "Brando this is being sorted out but you-" "But General!" "Brando go back to your post i understand how you feel but its under control i assure you" "Just make sure he's okay General". "We will".''
 * —Brando trying to see Tup but Skywalker stops him

When the Republic set its sights on seizing the planet Ringo Vinda, Rex helped Skywalker lead the 501st infantry that was assigned to the campaign. The Republic and Separatist forces clashed for control of the orbital space station that encircled the entire world, eventually becoming based out of opposite sections of the facility. Rex and his comrades became locked in combat with the Separatist battle group for at least five rotations but it was not until the arrival of reinforcements under the command of twin Jedi Generals Tiplee and Tiplar that they began to make headway toward breaking the ongoing stalemate. As part of their renewed offensive, Rex and Skywalker led the 501st in pressing through one of the station's hallways, while Tiplee and Tiplar's men concentrated on repulsing the droid forces in an adjacent passage. Once they had reached a communications center, Rex and Skywalker regrouped with the twin Jedi Generals and claimed the facility for their own use. They next set their sights on a command center up ahead, out of which the Separatist commander, Admiral Trench, was operating.Brando and his squad destroyed a Platoon of droids allowing Tiplee and Tiplars men to attack the last of the droids. The Jedi initiated phase two of their battle strategy: while Tiplar and Tiplee would each lead their men to Trench's command post via the outer two of three passageways, Rex and Skywalker would oversee a 501st advance through the middle corridor. Upon learning from Tiplee and Tiplar's clone officer, Commander Doom, that his men were severely depleted, Skywalker transferred Fives, Tup, and Helfire squad from the 501st to Doom and Tiplar's squad. With that, Rex joined Skywalker in spearheading the 501st's push, blasting through a number of B1 battle droids in the central passage. The hallway eventually opened into a large room in front of Trench's post, and Rex and the others were faced with DSD1 dwarf spider droids and super battle droid rocket troopers.As they made progress toward Trench's position, Tup in a trance-like state executed Tiplar at point-blank range. Tup's shocking exploit, combined with the appearance of a squad of droidekas, crumbled the Republic's advance, and Skywalker ordered a full retreat, with Fives taking Tup into custody. Once Rex and the others had fallen back to the communications center, they welded shut the blast doors to cut off the pursuant battle droids, then turned to the perplexing matter of Tup.

Brando try ed to attend to Tup but General Skywalker told Brando that not now was a good time to see Tup as he was in a bad state. As Tiplee force grabbed Tup Brando aimed his blaster at her if she was to kill not caring about the consequences if he killed her. But she let go and let Rex and Skywalker continue their investigation. Brando with the permission of Rex allowed Brando to come with him to Kamino to help Tup. During the Medical examination Brando was able to hear the results and conversations spoke about Tup. When Brando had heard the death of Fives by Rex Brando could no longer serve the 501st but Rex told Brando that his brothers need him and that he can carry the memory of Tup, Fives and many other fallen comrades through the new generation of Clones in the 501st.

Seizure of Scipio
When the Confederacy invaded the planet Scipio, the headquarters of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, the Republic Senate authorized a mercy mission to secure the banks and prevent Count Dooku from wresting control of the entire galactic economy. Skywalker was appointed as the general in charge of the Republic fleet, joined by Rex and their men from the 501st. One of their primary objectives was to rescue Padmé Amidala, who had been on-world to recognize the inauguration of the Banking Clan's new leader, Rush Clovis, but had been trapped when the Separatists invaded and obliterated her Coruscant Guard security garrison. After their three-cruiser fleet reached the Scipio system, Rex, Skywalker, and their troops launched from Skywalker's flagship in a squadron of LAAT gunships. En route to bypass the Separatist blockade, Rex used a datapad to review initial scans of the city that housed the Banking Clan's Main Vault and concluded that Amidala was there, still alive. Lieutenant Hawk and other pilots, flying clone Z-95 starfighters, provided escort for Rex and the others to blast through the enemy droid starfighters and enter Scipio's atmosphere. Dooku thereafter withdrew his Confederate flotilla from the planet, abandoning his remaining droid forces stationed at the Main Vault. Rex and Skywalker arrive at the Main Vault. Upon arrival at one of the Main Vault's landing platforms, Rex stormed out of the gunship with Skywalker and their men and opened fire on the squads of Separatist troops in the vicinity, including droid commandos, B2 super battle droids, and Vulture droids in walking mode. Rex and Skywalker soon found what remained of Amidala's felled security garrison, including the corpse of the officer in charge of the detachment, Clone Commander Thorn, buried under several super battle droids. In the ensuing lightfight, Rex and his men accepted the task of occupying the droid infantry on the landing platform and also provided covering fire for Skywalker, who pressed past the enemy forces and into the city to retrieve Amidala on his own. Skywalker reached Clovis's office and freed Amidala from Separatist custody there, but after a careening Vulture droid crashed into the spire atop of which the office was situated, Clovis sacrificed himself so that Skywalker could pull Amidala to safety. Following the Republic's triumphant seizure of Scipio, the remnants of the Banking Clan leadership blamed the late Clovis for the incident and conceded command of the banks to the Office of the Supreme Chancellor, transferring full economic power to Palpatine.

The last Battles of the Clone Wars
The war was coming to and end.. we knew it, we knew it in our bones

After Captain Rex was no longer in command of the 501st Clone trooper Appo took his place as Commander Appo who oversaw the final battles for the 501st of the Clone Wars and the early activities in the Galactic Empire but after Appo was killed at the Battle of Kashyyk Commander Vill took over.

Battle of Mygeeto
Conflict on Mygeeto went on for two years until Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declared Mygeeto part of a "Triad of Evil", three planets which formed Separatist bastions. Along with Felucia and Saleucami, Mygeeto was singled out as a prime target whose fall would help end the conflict. The unit fought the Separatist Droid Army in extended urban fighting amid the ultramodern towers of a major Mygeetan city. A second unit of the Grand Army involved in the battle were elements of the 501st Legion, who were sent on a special mission from the Chancellor himself without the knowledge of the Jedi. The 501st, according to Mundi's Knowledge, were dispatched to Mygeeto to destroy an energy collector which powered Separatist facilities in the area. However the true intent of the mission was to secure the Separatist power generator, and to acquire the ancient Mygeetan crystal powering it. The crystal was an experimental power source that the Chancellor required for a top-secret tributary laser-stream project codenamed "Hammertong". Who without Mundi's eye on the troopers the 501st got it back to Palpatine without error.

Battle of Coruscant
The Separatist forces have invaded Coruscant through space and had made its way into the cities of Coruscant. The 501st infantry units along with many other ground based legions where in training to pilot a ARC-170 if they where ever needed in space combat. Brando and his squad where ordered by Master Ferroda to destroy a Trade Confederation ship that was preventing his forces to land on the planets surface. Later through the battle Brando was ordered to hold off the battles droids and not destroy the the ship utill their old Teacher X2 arrived to use the ground cannon against the CIS ground forces. Once X2 had landed Brando and his squad paved a way for X2. Once X2 had completed his mission he granted farwell to Brando as he made off to the escape pod so Brando and his squad could destroy the cruiser.
