RC-1221

RC-1221, or Delta-21, was one of the first clone Commando Assassin. He was located in Delta squad 6 of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Delta-21 became known as "Adenn", which means merciless in Mando'a, because of his merciless habit when it battle. During the first year of Adenn's life the first five hundred clones from Project:FC were born.

Birth of an Assassin
Delta-21 started life out in a pod of three other brothers including himself, RC-1145, RC-1082, and RC-1124, who would become the leader of the group. His brothers and himself were raised by a male Kaminoan by the name of Shuae Basi until the year 30 BBY.

During this time 21 was taught to cooperate with his brothers in order to acheive the ultimate objective, but still he was only a child. He would finally forget this training, but always cooperated with his brothers. He formed special bond with his brother 82 during this time and they became very close. At the beginning of the year 29 BBY, 21 and his brothers were handed over to Dearh Nue, a very expereinced trainer.

Nue took pride in training squads and soon would became very proud of 21. During their first two years, Nue did not push them as much as he would later on in their life, but they still were expected to excel greatly. In the year 27 BBY, Nue decided to test the Commandos' progress with a battle facing them with shock blasters.

So one by one they faced each other but 21 did not face his brothers. Instead he chose to face his master, not the first or the last too try to bring Nue down. Nue was hoping 21 would give him a hard fight, but he never expected for the Commando to beat him. A few minutes into the fight Nue found himself to be lying on his back on the ground looking up at his student. 21 helped his master up and looked at him for approval, however, Nue knew 21 didn't need the approval for he could see the clone's pride shining through his eyes.

Shortly after Nue discovered the reason his student was able to brind him down so quickly. 21 had hit his spinal cord in an exact spot so many times that it made his spine shut down. For a student to have the knoweledge on how to bring someone own and the potenial to do it amazed Nue. A few months later Nue took 21 before the Elder Kaminoans and suggested that the Commando be given Advanced Training. "Great is the wisdom this child's mind holds, but greater is the knowledge allowing him to proceed in it."

After the meeting Nue began giving his student Advanced Training preparing him for what was to come. Just before the end of 26 BBY, 21 was placed in a stimulation room with what he though was a brotheren clone trooper. What Nue had done was taken a Commando unit 3 years older than 21 and placed him in trooper uniform to see how good the Commando actually was.

It only took 21 four minutes before once agian he stood over his opponent. Afterwards Nue decided to test 21's sword skills and so he entered the room with his student once agian. He gave his student a vibrosword and decided to make it an unfair fight, so he himself received two vibroswords and yet it did not intimidate 21 to quit. 21 faced his master and while doing so broke Nue's left leg and the left side of his colarbone. Nue was then unable to train 21 and his brothers and so the squad was placed under another trainer.

Vau's, Names, Armor
Shortly after Nue's injuries in the year 25 BBY, Delta Squad 6 was placed under the trainer Walon Vau who was also training Delta Squad 12. Vau was a great trainer and expected great things from his students. Delta squad 6 and 12 were pushed into becoming the best of the best of the best and they would soon earn the title. While watching Delta Squad 12 train 21 noticed RC-1207.

He watched him as he fought agianist his brothers and exceled greatly. 21 also noticed that Vau admired all his students but took a greater pride in both 07 and RC-1138 who fought like Mandolorian warriors. 21 was eager to gain approval with his new master and so when the time came for them to face each other one by one he defeated them.

Upon coming face to face with 38 in battle, 21 noticed his fighting style and took it into heart. He quickly learned it just by watching 38, but never really knew what form it was. Vau, however, quickly noticed 21's ability to teach himself and found great favor in the Commando. During a droid training stimulation in late 25 BBY, Vau noticed 21's fighting style to match both 07's and 38's, but he was much more aggresive and merciless.

Thus, Vau nicknamed his student RC-1221 Adenn, which stood for merciless in Mando'a. Vau eventually gave nicknames to most of his students, but some preferred their designation. Finally the day came in early 23 BBY when the Commando's received their armor.

Delta Squad 12's armor was placed as: The leader RC-1138, now known as Boss, was given orange armor with white backgrounds which meant being the leader he was now a Commando Paramount. RC-1140, now known as Fixer, was given green armor with very little white making him a Commando Hunter. RC-1262, now known as Scorch, was given gray and yellow armor making him a Commando Grenadier. Finally, RC-1207, now known as Sev, was given all white armor with no destictive markings making him a Commando Assassin.

Delta Squad 6's armor was placed as: The leader RC-1124, now Jate the mando'a word for "good", recieved gold and white armor and being the leader he became a Commando Fortune. RC-1145, now Prudii the Mando'a word for "Shadow", received black armor making him now a Commando Shadow Stalker. RC-1082, now Verd, the Mando'a word for warrior, recieved armor much like RC-1140 making him a Commando Hunter also. Then RC-1221, now Adenn, received his white armor like RC-1207.

Mission to L'week
After 07 and 21 received their armor they boarded a gunship and headed for the planet L'week, a savage planet home to the humanoid dinosaurs known as Ssi-Ruuks. The two Commandos were not to call for evac until they had both slain a Ssi-Ruuk and painted their armor with it's blood. Two days before the Commandos left Vau wrote in his journal. "RC-1221, now my student Adenn, and RC-1207, now my student Sev, have both been given the rank of Commando Assassin. In two days they will depart to L'week to slay a Ssi-Ruuk. Each will have to take his own and then paint his armor. I have no fear that they won't return, I only fear that after they leave the Ssi-Ruuk will be an extict creature."
