Alpha-17, otherwise known as A-17 or simply Alpha, was an Advanced Recon Commando clone trooper, or ARC Trooper, in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army during the Clone Wars.
Biography[]
Clone Wars[]
During the fighting of the Battle of Boz Pity, Alpha was critically wounded by General Grievous himself, so much so that it was thought he'd never walk again. As hostilities wound down, Alpha, along with the supposed corpse of Asajj Ventress, was loaded onto a medical transport and sent back to Coruscant for treatment. En route, however, the Dark Jedi proved very much alive when she took control of the transport and ordered its pilots to take her into the Unknown Regions.
During this time, Alpha-17, fully healed by the Ventress, convinced her to set course for Kamino, so he can contact the Republic to what has happened in the last several days. After this, being forbidden to Jedi, but not Sith, Ventress grew strong feelings towards Alpha-17. Knowing Ventress’s crush, Alpha-17—not knowing love—avoided Asajj, and, in his V-Wing, left Ventress behind.
A new life[]
After leaving Kamino behind, Alpha-17 made a new life on Coruscant. After looking for many jobs, Alpha-17 found a place to work at Dex's Diner, and found a place to live, in 500 Republica. Over the next several months, Alpha-17 made a new life, and he broke the number one rule that no other clone would do, sought out a serum or cure that makes an average clone live a standard Human life.
Order 66, the Great Jedi Purge and the Rebellion era[]
Strangely, Alpha-17 was not affected by Order 66, because he was of the first generation of clone troopers, as second generation of clone troopers could not refuse the Order. All of the Clone Commanders that were trained by Alpha-17 turned on their Jedi Generals after destroying the Confederacy of Independent Systems' Army. Shocked by the actions at the Raid on the Jedi Temple, Alpha-17 went into hiding.
After this, the Great Jedi Purge had begun. During the new Dark Times, Alpha-17 tracked down his old Jedi General and close friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or "Ben" Kenobi, and went to his home located on Tatooine. Alpha and Obi-Wan helped the locals on some special missions, but made sure to keep their true identities a secret. Sometime later, he took up bounty hunting to earn a living and later learned of a cure to the aging process most clones suffered from. He then sought out this cure in the far reaches of space, searching for a fellow clone like himself who had the cure. This ex-clone trooper wore strange gray-colored gloves that some said was the skin of the Kaminoian scientist who created the cure.
