CC-4822

CC-4822, nicknamed Ace, was a clone marshal commander in the 88th Star Corps in the Grand Army of the Republic who served under High Jedi General Camil Fon from 22 BBY to 19 BBY during the Clone Wars, the galaxy-wide conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He always followed his orderes without question, and Camil Fon later described him as a "Tough, freethinking, aggresive trooper, who does his duty to the Republic any way he can." During the war, he became friends with fellow clone commanders CC-2009 Typhuss and CC-2224 Cody.

During Order 66, Ace refused to kill his Jedi General, and protected him from his comrades who were attacking him. He and twelve other clones survived, and each went into hiding from the newly born Galactic Empire. Ace went to become a restaurant owner on Tatooine, along with fellow squad member CT-1992 Meatloaf, but in 17 BBY was drafted into the Stormtrooper Corps. When they began getting suspicious about him deserting his Corps, Ace made up a lie that he had been separated from his Unit during Order 66 and shoved onto a prisoner ship heading to Tatooine; In reality he had escaped onto an ARC-170 starfighter with Meatloaf and the squad's droid, R4-P8.

Later, during the Battle of Yavin, his Imperial Dropship Transport crashed on Yavin, and he was captured by members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, better known as the Rebel Alliance. Ace joined the Rebellion, and became the Flight Commander of Bantha Squadron, flying a heavily modified T-65 X-Wing. He led the prestigious unit in many battles, but in late 1 ABY, he quit the starfighter corps and became a General in ground troops in the Alliance. The same year he married his sweetheart, Tru Dasda on Camildrona. He later served in the New Republic and Galactic Alliance.

Training
CC-4822 was bred in 32 BBY as one of the countless clones slated to become soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic. Early in on his career, his flair of independence that always brought the prying eyes of the Kaminoans, and played a key role in his rising in the ranks to commander. His training was overseen by Jango Fett himself, and he was selected to be a potential ARC trooper candidate. He became friends with Jango and visited his apartment often, and soon became the mentor of Boba Fett, the "son" of Jango Fett.

During his training in the clone trooper cadet squad Alpha Squad, he became acquainted to his comrades, Vaux, Blaist, Jex, Able, and Harry, who began to call him "Ace" near the end of his training. He graduated in early 22 BBY, and, like all other Alpha squad members, was assigned to the 88th Star corps in the Grand Army of the Republic. When the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered Kamino, he guided him and Prime Minister Lama Su through the cloning facility of Tipoca City, knowing the city extensively. The 88th Star Corps was having it's noon meal when it and all other units were called to Geonosis, just in time to rescue the Jedi strike team.

Battle of Geonosis
In 22 BBY, when the Clone Wars broke out on the outer rim planet of Geononsis, Ace served in the ensuing battle. The 88th Star Corps were ordered to reinforce the troops on the front lines. By the time he eventually got there, the clone army was suffering heavy casualties. The 88th Star Corps and all other units were ordered to briefly retreat, but Ace held his ground, tending to severely injured troopers. He eventually was forced to retreat toward a trench, while Separatist battle droids walked right over him. He destroyed an entire squad of battle droids, but was eventually shot in the arm and cornered by OOM-13-50 and his droids, but right before he was about to be killed, advancing republic forces shot the droids, with the exception of their commander, and was sent to a medical hospital, and after that was awarded the Medal of Bravery, the highest honor for clone troopers in the Republic. After the battle, he was assigned to Jedi High General Camil Fon, who he stayed under for the rest of the war.

Battle of Cartao
In 22 BBY, the 88th Star Corps was sent to Cartao, under strict orders from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, to capture the Separatist-held Spaarti cloning facility. A force led by Kinman Doriana was sent to capture the planet. At first, the troops met little resistance, some none at all, but then the fighting turneed fierce. Ace and Camil Fon led a Regiment down the Maa'ano Valley, to destroy the Separatist base, while Doriana led the troops to the cloning facility. After Ace led the troops through the valley, they encountered a canyon, and the Separatist base was just at the other side. For two hours the men helplessly fired across the canyon, hoping to hit something, when Ace came up with an idea. He reasoned that since the walkers tracks were magnetic, and the walls of the canyon were made out of Uranium, they could use the walkers to walk on the walls of the canyon, down and up, and then when the walkers got to the other side, they would extend a makeshift bridge for the infantry to go on. The plan worked, and they captured the Separatist base. After the battle, Ace was awarded the Palpatine Cross.

Battle of Ryloth
After the battle, Ace and the 88th Star corps didn't see much action until early 21 BBY. He participated in the battles of Atraken, Hypori, and Orto Plutonia, but other than that spent most of his time playing Dejarik with Blaist or joking with Vaux and Harry in the barracks. However, when the Republic decided to recapture Ryloth, the 88th Star Corps were assigned to the invasion forces. They and the 52nd Star Corps were assigned to the Acclamator class assault transport Felucia. Almost immediately after the Felucia came out of hyperspace a lucky shot from a Confederate frigate crashed into the bridge and killed most of the command crew, including the captain. Ace bravely led his troops up the smoking bridge and was able to regain control of the ship, while the 52nd Star Corps manned the guns. The ship was able to land on Ryloth, but not before destroying three Separatist ships. After a while, the two units eventually joined the other units about to liberate the capital city, Lesssu. There he met the commander of the 52nd Star Corps, CC-2009, who would remain his friend for the rest of the war. After the battle, Ace wanted to stay to secure the planet, but was transported to Coruscant to track down Ziro the Hutt after he escaped with Cad Bane. He wouldn't stay on the planet for long; he was going to Behpour.

Battle of Behpour
His friendship with Typhuss proved to be worth it. After the battle he was contacted by his friend and Jedi general Aayla Secura about a hologram the group discovered on their mission to the planet Alzoc III. Ace delivered this information to the Jedi Council, which then decided to attack the planet. During the battle, Ace, Rex, and Cody created a diversion, while Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi sneaked into the droid factory to destroy the shield, thus allowing the main body of troops to destroy the main building, where Kul Teska was a hiding his gravitic polarization beam which he planned to use against the Republic. Anakin and his apprentice Ahsoka Tano faced Teska inside, while Ace, Cody, Rex, and Ponds brought Anakins ship the Twilight to the rendezvous point. On their way, they encountered Count Dooku, who personally forced choked Ace. He kept choking him until a distraction from a malfunction on his ship. Cody tended to Ace's wounds, while Rex and Ponds fired on Dooku. They were about to be killed when Kenobi and fellow Jedi Mace Windu arrived and injured the Count. After a short duel, Dooku eventually escaped with help from apprentice Asajj Ventress. Ace was dismayed at the loss of Count Dooku, but his spirits brightened when he and Jedi Camil Fon heard news that Skywalker had rescued Amidala and destroyed the Separatist Command Base which included the laboratory. While they was destroying the remaining battle droids, Ace found, in the rubble of a shot down Delta 7 starfighter, a small, blue astromech droid, named R4-P8. He took the droid to be repaired at a nearby droid station, and, with the droid's request, took him in. In the next few months they grew closer, and the droid would become the troopers companion for the rest of his life. After the planet had been secured, Fon was asked to substitute for Kenobi as the High Jedi General for the 212th Attack squadron, since Kenobi was ill. as a result, Fon dismissed the 88th star corps from duty until he returned. Ace had always been interested in the planet Tatooine, and he took the chance and took the 88th Star Corps on a patrol trip to the planet.

Second Battle of Geonosis
His trip to Tatooine was interrupted with news from Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi that the republic was planning a second invasion of Geonosis. Ace was quickly rushed to the Republic base at Mabonte, in the Geonosis system. Preparations for the invasion were quickly made, and the 88th star Corps and one other unit boarded the Felucia, now having become the 88th's personal transport. Once at Geonosis, Ace, R4-P8, Camil Fon, Harry, Vaux, Blaist, Ki-Adi- Mundi, and a few other clone troopers boarded a LAAT/i gunship heading to Geonosis. On the gunship, he met his old friend, Typhuss. For about ten minutes, they talked and shared stories of their adventures, before entering the Geonosian atmosphere. Once into the atmosphere, the gunship encountered heavy Geonosian fire, one hitting their main laser cannon. Typhuss informed him that the cannons were down and Ace replied by telling him to improvise. He asked how, and Ace told him to cut part of the wall out, take a blaster, and fire it. Harry remarked that Ace was always on top of things, and then Typhuss did it. He asked Typhuss to call for reinforcements, but Typhuss refused, saying that the ship needed ground cover first, and called for Commander Cody to drop the AT-TEs near their landing point. But before the gunship could even open it's landing gear, it was shot down. Ace and Typhuss escaped out of the wreckage, helping their generals out. Then Ki-Adi-Mundi ordered all troopers but Ace to be were loaded onto some AT-TE walkers to be taken to the rendezvous point. He told Ace to lead the sniper/flame trooper assault on the main Separatist base. He was equipped with only 100 troopers, two gunships and an AT-TE for the attack. He sent out a force of 20 men to distract the droids, and secretly sent the rest of the men on two pincers to encircle the base. Once encircled, Ace called for reinforcements, and eventually forced the surrender of the two remaining droid troops. He and the survivors of his group were rewarded the Medal of Bravery, plus a rest of two weeks on the planet Naboo.

Sky Battle of Quell
After his trip was finished, Alpha Squad was assigned to the Venator class Star Destroyer Skyliner to be taken to reinforce the Republic flotilla at Quell. When they arrived at the blockade, there was little time to prepare for battle before the four Confederate frigates arrived. Ace, Vaux, and Harry immediately got in to their ARC-170 starfighter, with R2-Q8 as their droid, and shot down many droid fighters. They even destroyed a small Confederate carrier. Eventually though, they were forced to land because of low fuel supply, and returned to action after refueling. Even then, after destroying 50 more droid fighters landed after being hit on the engine. Even with their tremendous help, the fleet began taking heavy losses, and eventually, Jedi General Aayla Secura's flagship Liberty was the only one remaining. Fortunately for the Republic forces, Anakin Skywalker and Wullf Yularen were due to arrive with the Resolute. After the Resolute arrived out of hyperspace. While Admiral Yularen commanded the Resolute's forces, Anakin Skywalker and some troops boarded an LAAT/i gunship to board the Liberty to meet Aayla Secura. But noticing that the Skyliner had been shot down but hadn't crashed yet, Anakin ordered a group of his gunships to make a quick stop at the ships to rescue the survivors, which included Ace and Alpha squad. Then, just as they arrived on the Liberty, the Confederates doubled their attack, hoping to down the damaged ship. The Jedi and clones made their way to the Star Destroyer's lower hold, where Anakin had ordered a Consular class cruiser docked. As Ace, Typhuss, Bly, Secura, Skywalker, Rex, Ahsoka Tano, and clone troopers Cameron, Flash, and Lucky made their way through the ship, a series of explosions tore through the star destroyer, chasing them down a corridor. Skywalker, in an attempt to save both his friends and the cruiser, sealed himself off with a set of blast doors, and held back the shockwave of the explosion with the force. As a result, he was seriously injured, but Tano was able to recover his unconscious body.

The group boarded the cruiser, and Ace and another trooper took the pilot seats. Ace believed they should call in reinforcements and to regroup, but the group prompted him to head for the Resolute. Admiral Yularen, now the lead commander on the ship since Skywalker had left, advised Secura against docking in the middle of battle, but Secura realized that Skywalker's injuries were too severe for what their tiny frigate could provide. As the ship began docking operations, it was attacked by Vulture droid fighters. When the ship was struck by their fire, the other pilot was thrown on the controls, accidentally activating the ship's hyperdrive. Bly and Ace attempted to stop it, but to no avail. Luckily, Yularen, acting quickly, had the Resolute move away from the cruiser, allowing it to engage it's hyperdrive freely and depart Quell. Despite the overwhelming odds, the cruiser, and all aboard it, survived. as it traveled through hyperspace, Bly learned that the ship was on a direct collision course with a star. As the clones desperately tried to disengage the hyperdrive, Secura ordered all the ship's power systems be shut down. They did so, bringing the ship out of hyperspace right before the star. Secura powered the ship up again, allowing it to maneuver around the star, in turn allowing Tano to slingshot the craft around it into a crash landing on the planet Maridun.

Battle of Maridun
As the wreckage of the ship burned on the planet's surface, all escaped through its emergency evacuation hatches. Ace was the only one injured in the crash, but not severely, so he helped the others escape. Once the fires burned out, the group used the wreckage as shelter. Skywalker’s condition, unfortunately continued to deteriorate, and the group realized he needed swift medical attention. Then Bly remembered that there were a few medical supplies inside the wreck of the cockpit, and the others helped to try and lift the metal. Ace, certainly not capable of working with heavy metal in his condition, was sent to find food and water near the area with Jex and R4-P8, which Ace had by now nicknamed "R4". He left his Blaster Cannon and rifle back at the wreckage, only bringing his two small blaster pistols. On his way, Ace found a carved tablet depicting a fight between a humanoid and some sort of predator. Ace thought it meant there was intelligent life on the planet, but Jex dismissed it as nothing, so they left it where it was and moved on.

After an hour or so, they reached a small village, which they discovered was of Lurmen colonists. Ace knew they were pacifists, as he had spent much time with them during a patrol trip to their home planet of Mygeeto. He expected they wouldn't take him in, but after speaking to the leader of the colonists, Tee Watt Kaa, let him stay in an old inn for a few nights, and the only condition was to not cause any violence. He agreed, and made friends with many of the colonists, one even offering him a place to stay. Ace refused, saying that he already had a place to stay and that the hut was much too small for him. He thanked the colonist though, and then went off for a good night's sleep.

The next day, when he awoke, he saw Bly, Typhuss, Secura, and Tano walking through the street next to him. He tried to get up and join him, but the inn's owner convinced him that he needed more rest. Meanwhile, the group was talking to Tee Watt Kaa about staying in the village. Secura insisted that the Jedi were peace keepers, but Kaa argued that they were a violent organization. Tano pleaded for medical aid for Skywalker, however, and Kaa made the decision to send the village healer, Wag Too. He still did not trust the Jedi though, and insisted that one of them stayed in the village. Secura volunteered, and he agreed. When Wag Too, Tano, Bly and Typhuss were leaving the village Ace and Jex joined them, causing Bly to say "How come they let you in?" Ace answered that he had a good way with words, and that he was able to hide his blaster pistols, leading Bly to the verge of furiosity. After walking for seventeen hours straight, they arrived at the wreckage just in time to see a mastiff alone attacking Rex and Skywalker. The group eventually killed the beast, but the attack made Skywalker's condition grow even worse. Bly tended to his wounds, and Wag Too was able to stabilize his health. Too declared that he was set to make a recovery, and they returned to the village. On the way, Bly was informed by Typhuss that a Confederate C-9979 landing craft was approaching the Lurmen village, which Bly immediately relayed to Secura. Kaa insisted that Secura leave the settlement, should the Confederates find her there. After they left, Kaa met with the Confederate general, Lok Durd. As he talked, Droids began ransacking the village. Skywalker, remembering that they would need a ship to get off of Maridun, suggested if the Confederates had a landing craft, they most likely had some sort of shuttle. As Skywalker and Rex plotted, Tano spotted a recon droid nearby. Ace and Rex opened fire on it, while Bly jammed its comlink. The droid fled, and the group gave chase. Secura was able to dispatch the droid, but the chase had brought them to the base of a huge tree. the group climbed the tree, and from their new point of view they could see the Confederate invaders building a large fortified outpost. Within the outpost, was, as Skywalker predicted, a Confederate shuttle. bly noted that it would be very hard to get in, as the Confederate security system seemed almost flawless. As the group continued to observe the base, Skywalker saw that the Confederates has some sort of tank-like weapon in their arsenal, and he asked Bly and Rex to investigate. As they went closer, the vehicle launched a projectile into the air. When the projectile hit the ground, it unleashed a rapidly expanding ring of fire that wiped out everything in its path. Bly and Rex attempted to outrun the blast, and Rex fired his grappling cable at a branch of the tree to escape the blast. Bly tried followed his example, but tripped on a log before he could get there. Before he could be killed by the blast, however, Secura swung down on a vine to rescue him.

The Jedi quickly realized that the Separatists target would be the Lurmen, and Skywalker devised a plan of attack: first they would destroy the communications station, steal the shuttle, and return to aid the Lurmen. When night fell, the group approached the base, and together they covertly dispatched the guards. Tano and Secura were able to enter the outpost, and then Tano opened the main doors, allowing Bly, Typhuss, Ace, Jex, and Skywalker to join them. Ace was able to shut down the communications system, and killed the repair droids that were sent to fix it, while the others found the shuttle. He got there just in time to board the ship. Just before boarding, he helped the other clones load two shield generators on the shuttle. They then flew the shuttle to the Lurmen village. Although Kaa still refused the Jedi's aid in the situation, Skywalker ordered the clones to start setting up the shield generators. In addition, the Jedi and clones began moving massive seed pods to form a makeshift barrier. When the Confederate forces were close enough to the village, Durd fired his new weapon. In response, Skywalker had the shields activated, protecting the village from the blast. Durd then ordered his droid troops to storm the village, prompting the Jedi and clones to move outside the shield generator and take on the attackers. They were able to successfully destroy the first wave of droids, but the second and third waves made it past the shield perimeter, forcing Typhuss, Bly, and Rex to retreat behind the pod barrier. Skywalker went to destroy the weapon himself, leaving Secura, Tano, and Ace free to battle the droids that were coming into the village. Unfortunately for the defenders, the droids took out both generators. Skywalker was able to destroy the weapon, however, and the Lurmen, under the leadership of Wag Too, helped the Jedi and clones round up the remaining droids. Durd was later arrested by Skywalker, and Admiral Yularen's cruisers arrived at Maridun to extract the Jedi and Clones.

Battle of the Nameless Jungle Planet
After they had been rescued from Maridun by Admiral Yularen, Ace and the 88th Star Corps were dispatched to lead an assault on a Confederate-controlled nameless jungle planet. Hours before, they were loaded into guships. Alpha Squad was all loaded into one gunship, while Able took the pilot seat. Almost Immediately after they entered the atmosphere they were attacked by twenty Confederate Vulture Droid Fighters. Ace and Harry, manning the main laser cannons, shot down the first seven fighters with ease. but the other thirteen were harder to get, as they were experienced fighters. Nevertheless, one by one was shot down, and in a matter of twenty minutes only one remained. That one however, was the best of them all, and repeatedly dodged the shots. Able, in the pilot seat, suggested to just fire randomly in the direction of the droid. Now desperate, they did so, and a lucky shot from Ace's cannon hit the droid in the wing. The droid swirled toward the ground, but not before firing a last shot at the gunship's engine. It was a direct hit, and the ship began burning up. The main part of the ship separated from the cockpit capsule, and crashed onto the ground. Alpha Squad and a few other clone troopers survived, but Able was nowhere to be seen. They kept calling his name for about ten minutes, until Blaist informed Ace of General Fon's orders to return to the forward command center. Ace proclaimed that he would return and find Able. He wouldn't see him again for over twenty years. After the battle, Able would be replaced by a rookie clone trooper, CT-1992, which the squad nicknamed Meatloaf.

At the forward command center, Ace was informed by R4-P8 that Camil Fon had left the command center to lead the rest of the 88th on a broad, steady assault on the Confederate base. Ace was to up in his ARC 170, along with R4, Harry, and Vaux, and lead the Aerial assault on Confederate forces. At first he destroyed every ship he came across. But then, he came in contact with one of the harder fighters. Ace eventually shot it down, but he was too close to the ground, and debris from the explosion destroyed two of his left S-foils. He crashed into the ground, and the others took him to a medical station. Late in the battle he had recovered and aided the 88th to destroy the main Separatist communications station. After the planet was secure, the Felucia landed and extracted the 88th from the planet.

Battle of Malastare
After the battle, Ace and the 88th Star Corps was dispatched to Malastare to battle a massive invasion force sent by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ordered the republic forces tested a prototype electromagnetic pulse weapon, called an electro proton bomb, which was designed to disable all the battle droids and enemy vehicles, while doing no harm to the Republic forces or the native Dug warriors defending the planet. The weapon had never been tested before, and Nahka Urus and Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Camil Fon feared that the bomb could cause severe damage to Malastare's ecosystem, however Dr. Sionver Boll, the scientist that created the bomb, assured them that it would not affect the planet. Ace did not believe that the bomb could severely affect the planet, but thought that possibly the bomb would disable some of the republic's vehicles, such as his own AT-TE, and the republics droids, such as R4-P8, if the bomb was detonated close to the front lines. The Chancellor urged them to test it, and finally they agreed.

After they agreed, Ace and Harry and R4 were loaded onto a BTL-B Y-Wing bomber, that was loaded with the electromagnetic bomb. They were instructed to carry the bomb to enemy territory, drop it, destroy the few Vulture droids that usually swarmed the command center, and return with their lives. Harry joked that they would be lucky to have their cockpit still flying ten kilometers from the drop point, and Ace said he didn't think it was funny. Though deep down, he knew Harry was right. This was a dangerous mission. Escorted by two ARC 170s, the Y-wing rose into the air, creaking with the weight of the bomb. when they arrived at the drop point, Ace quickly dropped the bomb. He quickly destroyed all the fighters, and turned back to the republic base. But then, one of his engines flamed out, and the other was hit by a piece of debris. It plummeted toward the ground, skidding on a makeshift republic runway. Just after he got out, the ground began sinking, taking the group with them. Ace tried to contact Camil Fon, but all communications were lost

Soon after, Mace Windu and three other clone troopers, serving as a search party, found them. Ace, along with Harry and R4, joined them. Soon, they realized the surface they were standing on was moving. It was revealed to be a creature, and the clones started firing on it, but to no avail. The beadst lifted it's head up, and the group fell down. Skywalker arrived to distract it, and the group was able to escape with a gunship. The dugs spent the rest of the day bombarding the creature, and it was soon knocked unconscious. It was arranged to be brought to Coruscant, to be studied, as Dr. Boll suggested it could be used for new clone armor. Ace eagerly agreed to this. As a result, he was one of the clones in charge of guarding it while it was being taken to Coruscant.

Zillo Beast Incident
After the men brought the creature, which had been revealed by the Dugs as a Zillo Beast, back to Coruscant, it escaped the study facility and ravaged parts of the city. Ace was among the large number of clone troopers which were trying to kill the creature. Anakin Skywalker was also trying to kill the beast, which was now attacking the Senate building. The creature apparently was smart enough to know who was trying to kill him, which was Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Soon, it captured Palpatine, Skywalker, and Naboo Senator Padme Amidala, secretly Skywalker's wife. Ace tried to defend the group by himself, particularly the Senator, as he saw she hadn't done anything to the beast, but the group slammed it's tail on the ground, just inches away from Ace's body, which forced him to retreat. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan reminded Windu to catch them when they fell, and Rex remarked that a lot of Skywalker's plans involved falling. Ace piloted a gunship, filled with Malastarian oil filled gas bombs, and dropped them on the Beast, killing it. As a reward for his bravery, he was awarded the Skywalker Cross, one of the highest awards in the Grand Army of the Republic

Advanced Recon Commando
Sometime before the Battle of Kamino, Ace was given the chance to become an Advanced Recon Commando, or ARC, trooper by ARC Commander Blitz. Ace refused, saying that he would have to leave the men he had become so attached to. He did reluctantly request the special ARC trooper experimental Phase II armor, made out of Zillo beast scales, which was fulfilled.

Battle of Rishi Moon
Sometime later, Ace, along with fellow clone marshal commanders Cody and Rex, was dispatched to inspect a Republic listening post on the Rishi Moon, manned by Domino Squad members Echo, Hevy, Fives, Cutup, and Droidbait. Ace hadn't seen them since his training on Kamino, so he was eager to meet up with them again. As their shuttle was approaching the moon, Ace called in to see if they had clearance to land. He didn't know, however, that the station had been taken over by BX-series commando droids, and had wired the "All Clear" signal to stay active, so that they would not provoke the Republic Fleet. The droid, disguised as a clone trooper, tried to stall, but Rex declared that they were landing. When they landed, they were greeted by another droid commando, also disguised as a clone trooper. Hevy, Echo, and Fives, the only survivors of the station, knowing they had to warn their fellow troopers, set of a droid attack flare. Rex and Ace noticed this, and Rex shot the droid in the head. Then they were ambushed by more droids, and one destroyed the ship. However, they made their way up to where the other three were hiding, and Rex ordered them to take off their helmets. They did so, revealing that they were not droids.

They made a plane to retake the station, and they did so. After retaking the station, Ace discovered that the Separatist had hotwired the All-Clear signal to keep the Republic unsuspecting Separatist fleet, led by General Grievous, intent on stopping the Republic's production of new clones. As droid reinforcements arrived, the clones planned to destroy the station with multiple explosives and a seventeen canisters of liquid Tibanna Gas to destroy the base, therefore unactivating the All-Clear signal and letting the Republic know of an Invasion fleet. However, after the remote control failed to operate, Hevy sacrificed himself by manually operating the remote inside of the station, destroying it. With the All-clear beacon disabled, the republic fleet arrived in the system and was able to ward off the Separatists.

Portal on Mygeeto
Later, shortly after the battle on Rishi Moon, Ace, Jex, Harry, Vaux, Blaist, and Meatloaf and another clone squadron was sent to Mygeeto to collect a series of special power crystals under direct order from Chancellor Palpatine, which, secretely, was planning to use them for the superlaser of the First Death Star. they arrived on the planet and quickly found the cave with the crystals. While the other squad stayed outside to guard the entrance of the cave, Alpha Squad went into the cave.

In the cave, Jex found the stash of crystals, only to destroy some with his blaster, and creating a time hyperspace-wormhole. Ace warned no one to get near it, but he himself trips on a rock and gets sucked in, leading the rest of the squad except Vaux to get sucked in. They all travel 21 years in the future, during the storming of the Tantive IV. Ace stared in wonder, not knowing who was the enemy. He assumed, since they were wearing white Phase II-like armor, that the white clad figures, who in reality were stormtroopers, were clone troopers, and ran toward them to find out. On the way, he passed a black-clothed sinister looking figure, which was wearing a special breathing mask. He stopped, afraid, and stood next to him until he left the room. he then ran more, only to trip another trooper. Then a laser bolt to his right hand knocked him unconscious. He woke up in the cave, being tended to by Vaux. Vaux asked what had happened. Ace told him the story up to the part when he met himself, and the said he couldn't remember anything. They made their way off planet, and informed Palpatine that they had failed to collect the crystals. Palpatine dismissed Ace, and hee said that he would send units of the 501st led by Ki-Adi-Mundi to collect the crystals.

Battle of Kamino
After the mission to Mygeeto, Ace, along Jedi Generals Kenobi, Skywalker, Fon and fellow officers Rex, Typhuss, and Cody watched a intercepted code hologram between Separatist leaders General Grievous and Commander Asajj Ventress indicacting that they were going to attack Kamino. The four clones were sent with their generals along with the rest of 501st and the 88th Star Corps to reinforce General Shaak Ti on Kamino and landed at the Military Complex of Tipoca City, Kamino's capital.

When Grievous arrived at Kamino, he brought with him a large Separatist fleet to challenge the Republic's blockade of the planet. While Skywalker led the Republic starfighters into battle against Grievous's forces, Ace joined Cody, Typhuss, Rex, Kenobi, Ti, and Lama Su in Tipoca City's command center to monitor the battle from afar. However, the spatial engagement proved to only be a diversionary assault when the debris from several Separatist cruisers that had fallen into Kamino's oceans turned out to be pieces for a set of disguised assault ships.

The crafts rose out of the seas and deployed a battle droid army led by Ventress to attack Tipoca City. As the invading droids marched through and damaged the Military Complex, Ace, Fon, and Alpha Squad, along with a platoon of cadets. Although the cadets did not believe that they could help to repel the Separatists, as their training had not yet been completed, Ace underlined the fact that it was their home that they were defending. With the droids about to reach the main power reactor at the center of the base, which, if destroyed, could destroy the entire city, Ace, Fon, and the platoon to a nearby armory to retrieve weapons so they could defend the reactor. The cadets hid in the raised retractable sleeping chambers along the corridor wall to provide extra firepower at the right moment. When a battle droid squad led by OOM-88 broke into the facility, the group immediately gunned down the initial forces at the entrance.

They were unable to drive back all of the droids, however, and they were forced to retreat into the control room, where the fight was so intense neither side could gain the upperhand. The clones quickly took up cover positions behind several crates to return the approaching droids fire, although they were now trapped at a dead end. The droids continued receiving reinforcements, and the battle came to a standstill. Soon later, however, the main battle was over, and, with the fleet defeated, clone reinforcements began pouring in through a vent in the ceiling. The droids were eventually forced to surrender, and Ace was awarded another Medal of Bravery.

Battle of Camildrona
After the Battle of Kamino, the 88th Star Corps was dispatched to the Mid Rim planet of Camildrona, which a few months earlier had been invaded by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, most notably the Commerce Guild, led by Presidente Shu Mai. A counterattack had been planned, but it was delayed because of the Third Battle of Kamino. After the battle, the invasion was delayed for a further two months, for the Republic had taken heavy losses at the battle and needed to recover.

Ace and Camil Fon, along with the 88th Star Corps, were chosen to lead the attack on the planet. After a paratrooper assault on the Capital City of Camil, Ace and Fon joined Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano, who had survived the paratrooper assault. As the Jedi pressed their assault into Separatist-held territory, Separatist General Grievous dispatched battle droid reinforcements aboard a C-9979 landing craft to his most strategic base, which was conveniently only five kilometers from the capital. To attack Grievous's troops at the source, Ace,,Fon, Skywalker, Tano, and the 88th, proceeded to attack it. With a three-part-plan- developed by Tano, the group successfully captured the base. With his most important base gone, Commander Riff Jargon, disobeying orders from Count Dooku and Grievous, began a slow evacuation of the planet. Now with republic reinforcements and the best separatist troops gone, the republic easily recaptured the planet.

Second Battle of Mon Calamari
Later, in 21 BBY, tensions between the Quarren Isolation League and the Mon Calamari escalated, and Ace, along with Rhea Company and Camil Fon, was dispatched with Senator Padmé Amidala and Jedi Anakin Skywalker to Dac. Amidala, Skywalker, and Fon were sent as representatives of the Galactic Republic, and Rhea Company was only there in case war broke out, but tensions escalated even more when the Quarren had the Confederacy of Independent Systems send their own representative, Commander Riff Tamson.

The negotiations failed, and soon a full-scale battle erupted at the capital of Dac Coral City. After merely entertaining the notion of diplomacy, the Quarren—aided by Separatist military might—launched a surprise attack on the Mon Calamari, which took place in the Capital. In response to the aggressive actions of the Quarren, the Jedi Council dispatched an armed force of clone SCUBA troopers, led by General Kit Fisto and Commander Ahsoka Tano.

Despite the addition of clone troopers and the assistance of Gungan warriors, Tamson proved to be an efficient commander who specialized in aquatic warfare. With the defeat and enslavement of the Mon Calamari, the surviving Jedi officers and Republic soldiers, including Ace, were taken as prisoners of the Separatists.

Later, Ahsoka Tano and the desposed Mon Calamari monarch prince Lee-Char arrived at the prison camp where Ace was being held, and they attempted to rally the people in the camps. However, they were captured, and brought before Riff Tamson. While this was taking place, Ace devised an escape plan with Quarren High Guard Tekkes Rosson, who had been instructed by Nossor Ri, the leader of the Quarren who had betrayed the Seperatists after learning their true intentions, to let the people of the camp escape. As Lee-Char was about to be executed, he was saved by Ri, and, with what Ace called "The perfect timing in the universe", the prisoners arrived, freed the prince, and then set out for the liberation of the rest of the planet. Ace took place in the liberation of Coral City, and was responsible for liberating the entire downtown area

In 19 BBY, Ace and Camil Fon, his general, were assigned to help aide anther unit destroy a Separatist base on Brodo Asogi. They were in the midst of the battle when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine transmitted Order 66 across the galaxy. The 57 Star Corps, the unit that had been sent along with them on the planet, began firing at their Jedi General. Inspired by this, other troopers from their unit began firing at Fon. Ace was shocked at this, and began firing his Z-6 Rotary Cannon in defense of the Jedi. Ace, Fon, and a few other clone troopers took down the entire legion, and then went their separate ways. Ace said goodbye to Fon, and then, he returned to Coruscant.

After Order 66, Ace deserted the army and tried to have a peaceful life on Tatooine as a restaurant owner. But in 17 BBY, he was drafted into the Stormtrooper Corps. He was unsupportive of the Empire, and when the broke out, he became a spy of the. In 3 ABY, he deserted the Corps, and became a Rebel sniper. After the war ended, he returned to the Corps, but this time under the New Republic.

In 67 ABY, Ace retired and flew to Tatooine to restart his restaurant business. He eventually made it a major restaurant chain, which spread from Kamino to Coruscant. However, when he arrived in Mos Eisley, he met his old friend, Camil Fon. They became partners in the business, and Ace married Fon's sister the following year. He had two children, Vaux and Blaist, named after two of his friends who fought in the Clone Wars.

Armor and Gear
Soon after he finished his training on Kamino he began customizing his armor, and wore several different versions. Early in the Clone Wars, he wore a set of Phase One armor with a visor, antennas,, a jetpack, a small floodlight, a built in pack for grenades, and blue stripes. Later in the war, he was known to have worn three different sets of Phase Two armor, both customized in revolutionary ways. He was also known to have worn the first variant of stormtrooper armor. Ace was also known for having several weapons. On all of his body armor, he had a holders for his two DC-17 hand blaster, but was also famous for using a DC-15A blaster rifles, and a Z-6 Rotary Cannon, which he christened "Blasty". In the Empire he had an E-11 Blastech Standard Sidearm, Blasty, and his old two DC-17 hand blasters; and in the Rebel Alliance's service a DH-17 blaster pistol, Blasty, and two DL-44 heavy blaster pistols.
