Biography[]
Early life[]
Snipe after the mission to Veltar
Snipe was born on the Republic Wild Space world of Kamino, being one of the millions of clones of the Mandalorian Bounty hunter Jango Fett. Snipe's early life was spent training and preparing for the day he would have to go to war. He aced all of the tests and simulations, and was part of the clone commander program, clones who were trained as commanders and received training from Jango himself. Snipe was a clever tactician, and most clones that were good with tactics became clone officers. They were usually seen on the bridges of Venators and other ships, and wore gray uniforms. Though they sometimes wore clone commander armor, most officers stayed out of combat, and since Snipe was also skilled out in the field, he was made a major, a rank slightly higher than commander. He would spend half of his time at a command center in front of a holo table of the battle, and half his time out fighting droids. He and several other majors got extra training, and got assigned their own squads. Snipe got a squad called Alpha Zero Squadron. Clones of that squadron had light blue markings on their armor, and specialized in utilizing jetpacks, so Snipe colored his armor light blueish and got a jetpack. He and his squad were sent out on their first mission to a world near Kamino, called Veltar, where a militia, supported by the Confederacy of Independent Systems arose and took over the planet's major cities.
Mission to Veltar[]
Battle at the Imperious City outskirts
Shoot anything that moves.
—Snipe giving orders to his men upon entering the Central Imperious Palace
The planet Veltar in the Wild Space region, located near Kamino, was an important Republic planet covered in grassy plains several rocky mountain ranges. Veltar's citizens heard allot about the Republic losing planets in the Outer Rim Territories, specifically those close to the Wild Space region that Veltar was at. Half of the government decided that the Republic probably wouldn't defend the planet if the Confederacy attacked, because all of their troops would be needed to defend Kamino. Half of the planet's populace rebelled and started a militia. They didn't attack at first, and waited. An emergency meeting was held at the capitol, and most of the security defense forces were moved there for security. The Militia attacked, and conquered several major cities and spaceports in several hours. Most fell before they could call reinforcements. A small CIS fleet was sent to support the rebel occupation.
Finally, the capitol contacted the Republic for help, and Snipe and his men, along with several other large squadrons attacked. The troops were sent down in gunships to the planet surface. Large task forces were landed at major cities, while smaller groups easily took villages in the country sides. Snipe and Alpha Zero Squadron was part of the large attack force sent to help the capitol. At the moment the news of the Republic fleet reached the Militia's Command Center, the commanders ordered the troops circling the capitol to move in. Security forces were holding out well, but rebel troops were moved out of near by cities to help the attack force. Snipe and his men landed at the city center and moved down the city streets to the outskirts, where clone troopers engaged the Militia forces. Soon, a CIS fleet entered the system and attacked the Republic fleet, so they were unable to send down reinforcements. Snipe and the squad were almost to the outskirts when they heard that the Central Palace had been taken, and it was near their position. They moved down towards the palace, and most of the rebel troops left to attacked the rest of the Republic forces, so only a few guards were left inside the building. They moved inside, and took out a small force of guards at the entry room. They proceeded down the corridors where several important leaders were being held. The squad then split up, one half took out the rest of the guards in the palace, and the other, that Snipe was part of, attacked the guards who were guarding the leaders. Snipe and his men broke in, and guards were taken by surprise. They overcame the rebels in a matter of seconds. After freeing them, Snipe and the Alpha Zero Squadron moved on down the city got them back to the government building to the other planetary leaders and officials. By that time, the planet was taken back and the CIS fleet was destroyed. A distress signal came to them from a planet in the Outer Rim called Felucia.
Assault on Felucia[]
The battle on Felucia
After the planet Veltar in Wild Space was taken back from the Veltar Militia, a meeting was held at the newly set up Republic base. Shortly before it began, a distress call from a planet in the Outer Rim, Felucia, was picked up. Earlier, a squadron of clones was sent to the planet to eliminate the droids, but they underestimated their numbers and were all killed. Their commander was able to send out a distress signal before he was killed.
Snipe and the Alpha Zero Squadron were put on board a Venator and blasted into hyperspace to Felucia. Once there, a large task force, including Snipe and his men, was dropped off at the former Republic Command Post, which had been destroyed, but the droids thought it was worthless. Once there, they set up camp and rebuilt much of what was destroyed, and a convoy of AT-TEs and AT-OTs, along with a contingent of troopers, left towards the base. Alpha Zero Squadron also went to the droid base, and soon, a large battle erupted. As the two armies clashed, they were battling in close quarters, being only a couple feet away from each other, and so it was a slaughter. It was a matter of who had more men. Eventually, most of the droids turned around and headed inside, but a few stragglers were left out and tried to hold off the clones. Snipe killed a few of them, and him and his squad used their jetpacks to get up to the walls. There, they were reinforced by AT-TE fire, which had blown up the parts of the wall around them, destroying the droids. The Alpha Zeros fought their way through the remaining droids, and reached the controls for the 15-foot wide metal doors at the front of the base. The gates opened and clones rushed in, and took the droids by surprise. The enemy general managed to escape with several squadrons of super battle droids by the time they reached the command center.
After finishing off several droids, they spread out through the woods to search for a squadron of clones who were supposed to come around the sides and attack the side walls, but were missing. After a long search, they spotted a Trandoshan ship leaving the planet. They managed to get a tracking beacon onto it, and quickly followed it, as it went into hyperspace. The rest of the Republic fleet followed it to Trandosha, the Trandoshan home planet.
Attack on Trandosha[]
The planet of Trandosha, located by Kashyyyk in the Outer Rim, was the home of the Trandoshan species. They were bounty hunters, but intelligence reports say that they sided with the CIS a lot. On Felucia, a small squad of clones that was sent there with a larger task force was taken prisoner by the Trandoshans. The Trandoshans had an honor ritual where they kidnap people and bring them to and island, and send younglings to finish them off. The more powerful the being who they killed is, the more honor they receive.
A task force of Snipe, Rex, Cody, Fox, Jedi Master Plo Koon, and Jedi Master Yoda were sent to Trandosha to get back a squadron of clones that were taken prisoner. The squad carried secret information in their helmets. As the attack force landed on the island, they were attacked by a large group of Trandoshans on speeders, and most of their walkers were destroyed. They were forced to split up. Fox, Snipe, Cody, and a large squadron of clones went one way, and the two Jedi Masters, Rex and the remaining clones went another way. Snipe and his force was attacked, and they were pinned down in a narrow valley and were forced to fight the Trandoshans on the ground, but also the ones in the air on speeders. After most of their force was killed, the clones were found, well the ones that weren't killed, and they came and picked up Snipe and his men on gunships, and left to a new front.
Conquest of Khorm[]
Snipe and Fisto on Khorm
All right men, today we're in for a snowball fight.
—Snipe briefing his squad
Khorm was a cold snow covered world at the edge of the galaxy. If there was a bright point in the galaxy, Khorm was the farthest from it. Khorm was good for one thing, however. There was a labyrinth of caves inside the planet. The caves are covered in special power crystals that can power all of the droids in and entire sector. The caves were enough to catch the CIS's attention. General Grevious sent an enormous force of droids there, to patrol the whole planet. The Republic Intelligence also caught sight of this, and reported it to the Jedi, who sent an attack force there. There were a few entrances to the caves on the surface of the planet. The ground generals had put up large bases at each entrance, and the perimeter of five miles around the base was patrolled and monitored. The CIS admirals put up a large blockade around the planet.
Finally, the Republic troops landed, after breaking through the large blockade. They drilled down from where they landed to get to the caves, because due to the size of them, most of the tunnels were unguarded and unexplored. After breaking in, the followed a drilling sound from the droids' machinery. They destroyed several digging and drilling equipment without the commanders in the caves finding out. Afterwards, they tried to get to one of the bases, but were found by a patrol, and were reported to the nearest CIS base by one of the droids.
Meanwhile, in orbit, a large fleet attacked the blockade, and the generals and admirals onboard figured that it would take half of the Grand Army of the Republic to destroy everything on the planet, so the attack force was needed to evacuate for the Republic armada to be able to bombard the planet. The bombs would destroy everything on the surface, and the impact would cause the caves to collapse. The flagship sent a signal to Kit Fisto, the Jedi Master in charge of the assault with Snipe. Fisto ordered the troops to retreat, and they got to the gunships, and flew up. The CIS fleet was still in orbit, and allot of the gunships were destroyed, but Fisto and Snipe made it through the blockade and back to the Republic fleet.
Loss at Vassek[]
Snipe on Vassek with his troops
During the Clone Wars, General Grevious was at many battles that the CIS took part in. He needed a place to take a break and fix up his body. Grevious made a small private base, guarded by Magna Guards on the misty planet of Vassek in the Outer Rim. Vassek was an ancient planet, and once had civilization on it, but the population left after all of the natural resources were used up. The planet was covered in rocks, and all of the settlements were lost to time. A strong mist covered the planet, and was visible from space. It was the perfect place. Barely anyone visited the planet, except for historians and scientists, and even that was rare. Grevious thought it was perfect, and made a base there. After losing a battle in the Minos Cluster, he returned to the base, but carrying an important object, called the Orb of Time. It could see in the future, and tell you anything you want t know. Clone Intelligence found out where his base was and sent in a force of clones, including Snipe.
The attack force landed near the base, and two troopers were left to guard the gunship. After leaving, they made their way into the fortress, and proceeded down the corridors, but were being watched by Grevious by the cameras. They faced several obstacles, such as a lava pit, which killed a quarter of their troops, and a giant creature called Igor, who killed half of their men. Snipe, and the remaining members of the Alpha Zero Squadron found their way to Grevious's room, but were attacked by the Magna-Guards, so he got away. Snipe and his men managed to retrieve the Orb, and destroy the base.
Battle of Unidentified Planet[]
CIS fighters over the planet during the battle
Sometime during the Clone Wars, while the Republic was distracted with the Outer RIm Sieges, the CIS decided to take the chance, and make a foot hold in the Expansion Region, which led to the Core Worlds. A large CIS armada was sent to an unidentified planet to establish a base. Republic Intelligence had found out, and sent a fleet to intercept the forces before they could land. Shortly after the Separatist forces arrived, they sent down as many transports as the could. The Republic arrived just then, and destroyed most of the transports, but a few made it down. While the Republic Navy engaged the CIS armada, the Republic sent down clone troopers, and among them was the Alpha Zero Squadron. The landed and fought for an hour when they found the droids, who were backed up by Tri-fighters, but the CIS was defeated.
Battle of Ord Cestus[]
Ord Cestus was a minor planet in the Outer Rim, near the edge of Hutt Space. Ord Cestus had a secret, however. It has hidden underground factories that produces weapons, walkers, and warships. The had a system of underground factories. They all linked to the central command center, which was main way of getting in. The central command center also had a shut down switch. The factories were poorly guarded, and the Republic trusted that no one would find out the secret of it. After a battle in the Expansion Region, the CIS changed it's tactics and aimed straight for the Core Worlds, where Ord Cestus was located. After the CIS got there (after a series of hyperspace jumps), they unloaded the troops which headed to the factory entrance, and destroyed turrets and other defenses on their way.
Meanwhile, Snipe and his men were sent in to stop the attack force, along with the 212th Attack Battalion. They fought the droids once the reached them, and many droids and clones got killed. After several hours of battling, the droids retreated, and were finished off later on. After the battle, Snipe was given command of his own Venator, the Dauntless.
Blockade of Kamino[]
The Dauntless at the head of the defensive blockade at Kamino
General Grevious's Intelligence had found out the location of Kamino and decided to attack. The Jedi have also heard about it, and sent in additional ships to reinforce the blockade already there, and the Dauntless was one of those ships. When Grevious's ships came in and attacked the Dauntless was in the second lines of defensive ships. Most of the ones on the front line were destroyed, so the Snipe ordered them to push in, with the Dauntless leading the way. Due to the other cruisers around it, the Dauntless took minor damage by the time the battle was over.
Water Battle of Aqualis[]
SCUBA Commander: “Are the gunships ready?”
— The SCUBA trooper Commander and Snipe before battle
Snipe: “Yes, but hopefully we won't have to use them.”
The Water Battle of Aqualis took place on the Republic controlled water covered world of Aqualis. Count Dooku decided to make a series of bases and factories under water in Aqualis's oceans. He had amounted a large assault force of water vehicles and Aqua droids. After landing the troops, they headed for the only Republic outpost on the world. Snipe happened to be there when the attack happened, and was aboard a Republic destroyer, leading a fleet of Republic frigates. When the droids attacked, he was taken bay surprise and most of the frigates were destroyed, and the droids took a few casualties. Snipe and an Unidentified SCUBA Trooper Commander commander managed to escape to the base in a light scout ship after the destroyer was blown up.
At the base, the prepared the defenses and got ready for the full onslaught of the CIS forces. Snipe and the SCUBA commander knew they didn't have enough troops to hold out, and their communications were blocked. After getting the gunships ready for their retreat, they went up to the front of the base with the troops to look out for the approaching CIS droids. Once they came, the first line of Republic cruisers at the front of the base was destroyed, and the clones opened fire. The droids on the top of the CIS destroyers and troops transports were killed, but the ones inside were unharmed due to the thick coating of metal on the outside. The fired the canyons, blowing up most of the troops, and the rest of the clones pulled back to the back of the base. The droids attacked, and the clones were defeated. Snipe and the commander managed to escape on a gunship with a squad of clones.
Ariel Battle of Quell[]
CIS Missile Platforms over Quell
After the loss of the aquatic Outer Rim world of Aqualis, the CIS prepared to attack a planet called Quell. The planet was covered in cities, and the CIS planned to destroy them to show how weak the Republic was. They sent in a fleet of missile platforms, but Snipe and the Alpha Zeros, along with several other clones and a fleet of Venators, including the Dauntless, were sent in to help the local security force and stop them.
As the fleet came out of hyperspace, they were under heavy fire. The Venators released starfighers, and most of the fleet separated and split up. Snipe and his men were wearing jet packs, and flew from platform to platform, destroying them. Space marines were also let out, and were destroying the platforms. After destroying two, Snipe and the squad captured one and used it to destroy several others.
Meanwhile, another CIS fleet of frigates exited hyperspace to help stop Republic forces. They fought for hours, and finally what remained of the CIS troops landed on the surface of Quell. Snipe and the rest of the clones were sent down to the planet surface to finish them off.
Ground Battle of Quell[]
After the brutal ariel battle over the planet Quell, the CIS armada was defeated and what remained of it landed on the surface of the planet. Several Venators, including the Dauntless, were sent to land and drop off troopers and walkers. When they got near the CIS ships, the droids had set up AA guns and opened fire on the Venators. The Dauntless and the Pioneer were the two closest, and took heavy damage. They had to send down the troops by gunships and dropships. Several gunships of troops, including Snipe, were sent down to take out the CIS forces. After landing, they formed a circle and let the droids come to them. Several hours passed, and the CIS lost most of it' troops, and so the clones set off to destroy the AA guns. They were practically unguarded. Afterwards, the Venators came in and bombarded the landed CIS ships. After the battle, Snipe and his men were aboard the Dauntless, and had picked up a distress signal from the planet Ragmar V.
Battle of Ragmar V[]
Capture of North Village[]
The 78th Combat Support Legion, led by Fire, attack the village
Fire: “The CIS supporters have taken several important cities, and had control of them for two months. We launched several assaults, but they just broght more casualties. What do you suggest we do?”
— Snipe and Commander Fire shortly after landing.
Snipe: “. . . Sorry, what? I wasn't listening.”
Snipe told about the distress signal to the admiral, who ordered the Dauntless and the Pioneer to go to Ragmar V. They sped into hyperspace. After exiting hyperspace, they saw a small CIS fleet fighting against a large Republic armada. The Dauntless and Pioneer landed, and began to send out troops. Snipe met up with the commander of the 78th Combat Support Legion, clone commander Fire. Fire informed him that the Ragmar rebels had taken over several villages and cities and held them for months. They tried several assaults on the towns, but that just gave them more casualties. Snipe made a battle plan where him and his squad come around the side of the village, and Fire and his legion attack from the front, and Alpha Zeros sneak inside the village while the rebels are distracted with Fire's men. They put the plan to action.
As Fire and Snipe neared the village and split up, they were under heavy fire from rebels on the ground and on roof tops. Fire and his men returned fire and distracted the rebels. Meanwhile, Snipe and the Alpha Zero squad snuck inside form behind the village. They made their way around the buildings and silenced the guards on the streets. After making their way to where Fire and his men were fighting, they climbed the roof tops and killed the Ragmar rebels. After finishing off the stragglers, Dauntless sent down dropships carrying AT-TEs for support. Fire and Snipe and the rest of the clones then made their way to the capital city.
Street Shoot-out[]
The Rebels are almost defeated. The last of them are at Killer Cantina.
—Snipe to Fire during the battle
Fire and Snipe managed to free a medium sized village on Ragmar V from the Ragmar rebels, and then they moved on to the capitol. They fought several rebels on the way their, who were guarding the roads, and none of them managed to warn the ones at the capitol. After reaching the capitol, a large battle began. Snipe and the other clones had to split up and get to the city center. Snipe and the Alpha Zero Squadron ran into several survivors of the clone unit who perviously tried to take the capitol, the 704th Legion, including their commander, CC-9653. The 704th members went to the City Center with the Alpha Zeros. After a huge battle in central square, they were victorious. Snipe and his squad went up to the Dauntless, and Fire and his legion flew up to his Venator-class Star Destroyer, Soulless Seven, and bombarded the rest of the Rebel towns.
Resistance on Alzoc[]
After all of the droids on Alzoc III were wiped out by Commander Gree, Commander Typhuss, and several Jedi, the CIS left the planet. But later on, the Separatists returned because of a new discovery made by miners. Alzoc was rich with metal that was like the skin of the Zillo Beast; it couldn't be killed by blasters or lightsabers. Snipe was there when the CIS attacked, and fought off the droids, who sent a small attack force, expecting hardly any troops to be there.
Battle of Xion[]
The Republic forces near the outskirts of the city
We have to take this position. The 212th Attack Battalion, 52nd Star Corps, 501st Legion, and 78th Combat Support Legion have battered at this position, taken high casualties, and were forced to retreat.
—CO-4322 to Snipe and the rest of the clones
After the resistance on Alzoc, the Alpha Zeros get sent to the planet of Xion in the Colonies. The planet had a large city on it, that was covered and protected by an extremely powerful force field, operated from inside the city. The clone garrison guarding the city had their shield off, hearing that the CIS forces were no where near the Colonies, and were taken by surprise. The city was quickly taken over by the CIS in the first year of the war. They sent multiple units to try to take it back. The 212th Attack Battalion hammered at it for months, but took to many casualties and retreated. The 52nd Star Corps got close to getting in, but were forced to abandon siege when a defenseless planet near Xion got attacked. The 501st Legion came too late after the 52nd left, so the CIS had time to restock supplies, and fix up their shields and vehicles, so the 501st only fought for a couple days and then moved on to a different planet. The 78th Combat Support Legion landed, and managed to reach the outskirts of the city, near the shield generator building, but a sudden attack of several legions of droids pushed them back, and they camped a few miles away, took over near by cities, and left. Meanwhile, Republic High Command was getting to discouraged by the failures and decided to send in one last group, the Alpha Zero squadron and the 25th Armor Support Wing.
After landing, the Alpha Zeros and the 25th moved up towards the city. Half of the attack force was taken in by guinships, even though the CIS had several AA batteries implanted throughout the city. The CIS learned of the attack and sent out several droid legions to intercept the attack force. The two armies clashed on land, while meanwhile half of the gunships got taken down. The ones that made it through landed near the shield generator building. Snipe and the 25th commander, Clone Officer CO-4322, attacked the droids head on with their troops. After several hours of intense and brutal close up blaster and hand to hand combat, the droid ranks were decimated. The clones rushed the shield generator building with the gunship attack force, and destroyed the shields. After they contacted Republic High Command, they immediately sent in several other clone legions, such as the 52nd and 212th. After several hours of street fights, the other legions arrived and took over from there. All of the Alpha Zeros, and most of the 25th retreated to the newly set up Republic base. It was put up just in case if the CIS managed to somehow retake the city after the Republic recaptured it. Snipe and the other commander were sent off to different worlds afterwards.
Defense of Anaxes[]
Snipe in his ARC armor giving orders to a couple of cadets
You two stay and defend this place with your lives.
—Snipe to two clone cadets during the battle
Anaxes was a world near Coruscant in the Core Worlds. Prior to the Clone Wars, it was a Republic military stronghold and training center, and during the Clone Wars, many non-clone soldiers and clones were trained there. The CIS thought once the most important defensive world to Coruscant would fall, then they would have a clear passage to the capitol. The CIS amassed a large fleet and ground attack force and sent it to Anaxes. Meanwhile, Snipe had received temporary ARC trooper armor, and was stationed there with his squad for defense and help in training the soldiers. After training several squadrons, Snipe went up to the hangar bay to begin training a Clone Marine squadron in space combat, when a red alarm sounded. The CIS had attacked.
All starfighters on the surface had been sent up to the orbit to help the Republic fleet against the CIS armada. During the battle, one of the most important defensive positions was the hangar bay, so Snipe, several other clones, and clone cadets stayed there to take out the incoming droids. They came in hordes and killed all of troops in the first few minutes, but due to their clumsiness most of the droid force was eliminated and the hangar was safe. The remaining hangar defense clones left the hangar, and found that most of the droids were already beaten back. Snipe and his squad were transferred to another world after the battle.
Order 66[]
While on patrol of the recently conquered Felucian lands for any remaining droids, Snipe and his men received Order 66, the order that brands Jedi as traitors. Snipe executed the Jedi that were with him, and headed back to the base, packed up the troops, and departed to Coruscant.
Galactic Empire[]
Snipe's years during the Galactic Empire are unknown, but it is known that him and his squadron received some kind of life potion that increases one's life span, because he is alive and part of the New Galactic Empire in 11 ABY, when most other Fett clones were dead.
New Galactic Empire[]
His years during the time of the New Republic, Galactic Alliance, and the Confederation of Free Planets was unknown. But around 11 ABY/12 ABY an organization called the New Galactic Empire came to power and seized control of the Galaxy. All of the military units form the past government, the CFP, were made part of the New Galactic Empire, so it is presumed that him and the rest of the Alpha Zero Squadron was part of the CFP earlier.
Purge[]
Snipe in his ARC trooper armor
After the second Order 66 had been given, all of the Empire's forces had been informed that the Jedi were traitors again, and slaughtered most of them, but some arose in the Aparo Sector, where a new Jedi Temple had been made. CC-2009, commander of the 52nd Star Corps, and CC-1010, and Snipe and the Alpha Zeros were sent in to destroy the temple, as well as eliminate any Jedi resistance. After several hours of battle, the Empire took several casualties, but managed to destroy the temple and strike a heavy blow to what remained of the former Jedi Order. Afterwards, he became a member of the Advanced Recon Commandos.
Azkaban[]
After the assault on the Temple, Snipe, Typhuss, and Fox went to the prison planet of Azkaban to take back the prison because the guards rebelled and called the Remnant and the Jedi. After a long battle, Snipe and the others had to retreat so that the Star Destroyers could bombard the planet.
Battle for Coruscant[]
After Azkaban, all of the Jedi forces attacked Coruscant. There was a long and intense battle. Fox and the other commanders battled with the Remnant, Wookiees, Jedi, and Alsakans around the city. After a long battle, the enemy forces were defeated. All of the rebellions were destroyed, but afterwards, the Alpha Zeta Insectoids of the Alpha Zeta Republic from the Zeta galaxy attacked.
Seswenna[]
Afterwards, Snipe, Typhuss, Fox, Draco Malfoy and their troops went to the jungle planet of Seswenna. They donned Kashyyyk trooper armor since the planet was covered in jungles and forests. They were to destroy an Insectoid base there. After landing, they set up camp and Snipe, Typhuss, Malfoy, and some clones left the camp to attack the enemy base. Fox, Captain TK-422, and some other clones were left to watch over the camp. After a few minutes of battle, the troops destroyed the base and left back to the camp where the Insectoids have attacked. After defeating them, the clones left the planet.
Assault on Malfoy Manor[]
Snipe and the others were later sent to Malfoy Manor, a large palace used by the Malfoy family on Chandrila. It was attacked by the Insectoids, and Snipe and the others went there to take it back. Imperial Captain Draco Malfoy betrayed the Empire and was actually part of the Malfoy Cartel. The battle was a lose for the Empire.
Second Assault on Malfoy Manor[]
The Second Assault on Malfoy Manor was the second attempt the Empire underwent to take back the Manor. It almost worked out, but failed.
Coruscant[]
After Typhuss, and Advanced Recon Commandos Ben and Jim snuck on board the Cartel's flagship, they went to Coruscant. When they got there, Snipe and his men went on board to rescue Typhuss and the other two, but ended up getting in a fight with Malfoy and his assassin wife, Pansy Parkinson. He was killed by Parkinson when she shot him in the back.
Skills and Abilities[]
Snipe was a great fighter, but was also skilled behind a holomap of the battlefield in a command center. He was great at tactics, and was honored by many officers. Snipe even made a holovid on death trooper (which he invented) tactics. One admiral hated him though, out of jealousy. Once, during the Bombardment of Hoth, Admiral Argog challenged Snipe to a contest. The Admiral wanted to send his troops in all through the front of the CIS base, and Snipe thought some should go in the front, and some should go around and flank the droids. Argog's way failed, and all of the attacking forces were killed. When Snipe tried his way, it worked a lot better, and most droids were destroyed by the attack.
Armor[]
Standard[]
Snipe uses standard Phase I clone trooper armor, but equipped with a jet pack and range finder, as well as custom paintings. Sometimes, Snipe has a backpack instead of a jet pack. He also had ARC trooper armor.
ARC[]
Snipe got to use an experimental Phase II Advanced Recon Commando armor when he was on Anaxes, and later after the attack on the New Jedi Temple. He used it during the battle, but after leaving Anaxes, he received his old armor and had given up the ARC trooper armor. After the attack on the New Jedi Temple, he got ARC armor to keep, and switched it with the standard armor every couple battles.
