Journey of the 100th legion

Bug's paradise

The creation of the clone army was held secret for many years. The 100th legion wasn't even thought of. The clones had been ordered to prepare for battle as dozens of acclamator assault cruisers had lowered into orbit. LAAT gunships descended down on the cities of Kamino and began loading the men onto them. Every gunship was loaded with a squad of men that had a sergeant and either a lieutenant, captain, or commander on board as well. One gunship had a small green figure that would eventually come to be known as general Yoda.

The gunship carried us up into the acclamators and we waited. The acclamators jumped into hyperspace towards our destination...Geonosis. This would be the first battle any of us would fight...and the last for many of us.

Our fleet jumped into hyperspace and emerged above a giant brown planet. What littler defenses were in the atmosphere were quickly destroyed. The acclamators began to descended on the planet.

Troopers poured out and began to fire as waves of droids rushed out to meet us. As droid vehicles began to fire, LAATs that had been modified began to land our AT-TEs into the battle.

We spent years training but nothing prepared us for this. The surviving Jedi from the arena were flown in and took command of us. The Jedi weren't prepared to lead an army and we weren't ready to have the Jedi take over.

They took command and charged us out across an open area. Along side us were 10,000 clone commandos. Little did we know nearly half of the commandos would be killed along with many standard troopers. Many of our vehicles would be destroyed by hail fire droids along with many LAATs. A single LAAT carrying Jedi general Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker along side senator Padme Almidla with a few troopers.

Their goal was to capture count Dooku and hopefully bring the war to a quick end. The rest of the Jedi and clones continued to fight the droids army as they were finishing their launch calculations. We deployed our SPHA-T artillery cannons and fired at any of the giant balls that began to rise out of the ground.

The battle was over within a couple of hours. Casualties were high for both sides. The commando unit was depleted by about 50 percent and the rest of the army had taken a major hit. A handful of Jedi had survived the battle from the arena and amongst that handful an even smaller amount survived the battle.

The bugs retreated into their hives that led into the ground. Small squads were sent down after them but none had survived so far. A handful of officer figures were pulled from the ground and sent back to Kamino to receive new orders. Many were being assigned to forming new units and being placed under Jedi commands.

A single captain was left to command a brigade in sectors 4 and 5. His ct number was 1274 but would later be known as Arc. Arc continued to send small squads to watch over the geonosians hive entrance as ordered but he constantly had squads disappear and worry was spreading through the brigade. Occasionally a squad would bring back a prisoner or two but without a way to understand the bugs, they served no purpose to being held prisoner.

After a few months Arc was recalled to Kamino to receive new orders. A newer clone sergeant came in to replace him. Little did Arc know that every trooper on this planet would be killed or capture in the next few days. The corvette that had carried the sergeant also now carried Arc to Kamino. The corvette landed and Arc walked off to find the Jedi Shaak Ti and a couple of bounty hunters talking as they walked to the corvette.

"Captain Arc. A pleasure to meet you." Shaak Ti said in a calming manner.

"Pleasure is mine general." Arc replied.

"Arc. I'd like you to meet the two new bounty hunters that will be in charge of overseeing the training of future clone troopers." Shaak Ti said.

The two bounty hunters stepped up. One was a male Siniteen. The other was a male Arcona.
