Company 9

Company 9 or C9 was an independent unit of clone troopers led by nine ARC troopers including Commander Aurek during the Imperial Period. C9 comprised of veterans of the Clone Wars that refused to become part of the Imperial Military, knowing that clones would be eventually phased out by organic recruits and conscripts. The clones of Company 9, however, opted to avoid associating with the Empire whatsoever and instead decided to continue their duty of eradicating the Separatists by attacking numerous Separatist holdouts. Company 9 also operated an Arquitens-class light cruiser and starfighter squadrons composed of ARC-170s and BTL Y-wings, which they used to destroy several Lucrehulk-class battleships across the Outer Rim. The unit's more elite troopers were deployed on commando missions to eliminate former Separatist generals and admirals, which included a failed assassination attempt on General Atticus Farstar.
