Journey of the 100th legion

New Paint Job

Arc arrived on Kamino with what was left of his legion. The troopers once there all went about to different areas. No squad was left intact...every squad was gone or severely hurt. Arc was now having to pull freshly trained troops that had just graduated to refill his ranks. Jetter was placed in charge of finding suitable pilots while Arc looked over everything else.

With the number of troopers in demand across the galaxy, Arc could only afford to rebuild half his legion. While there he bumped into a couple of troopers who were painting their armor. It was none other then the 501st legion or the boys in blue as some called them. Their armor was clean which meant these were fresh troopers going to join the 501st as they finished up the hunt for Poggle the Lesser.

Jetter had managed to rebuild the Air Force to about 45% of its original force. It would have to do since pilots were in even higher demand for republic forces. Arc went to a supply room and found where all the dye was being kept. He grabbed a bunch of a blue color that didn't match the 501st but was a more lighter blue like a sky.

Arc sat in the supply room and removed his helmet. His hair was cut short since it made it easier to maintain and it was also a browner color compared to most who had a black hair style. Arc grabbed a brush and opened up one of the canisters of dye. He grabbed his helmet and began to paint some blue markings that kind of curved from the top of his visor down past the side and back up towards the bottom on both sides. Next he colored the fin on his helmet with the same blue. He left his rangefinder alone since it didn't seem right to color it. He also colored the side of his helmet where he could attach a range finder or macrobinaculars to them.

After he had his helmet done he took of his chest and back piece. He took the dye and colored each of the straps and then proceeded to color the the top of the pieces till the formed a point about half way down his chest and upper back. He also colored the sides of his chest and back pieces and the color stuck out a little in the front and back.

Next were his arm pieces. He took his shoulder pads and the piece below it off on each arm. He painted the upper halves of the shoulder pads along with the base for the shoulder antenna. Next he colored the lower halves of the piece of arm guards below the shoulder pads.

Next was his leg armor. This was a bit simpler out of it all because all he did was a paint half of his thigh all the way around and his knee protection.

When all was said and done, Arc was now looking at his new suit with all its marking on it. He still had a decent amount of dye left over but he didn't want the rest of his boys to get that quite yet. He signaled for Jetter to join him and he waited outside the supply room for him. Arc was standing out in most of his gear when Jetter walked up. All he was missing was his newly painted helmet but Jetter was about to see it.

"You signaled for me captain?" Jetter asked.

"Yes, as you can see I've painted my armor. I think I want you to do the same." Arc explained.

"So I can paint my armor how ever I want?" Jetter asked.

"Yep and while your in there can you get my helmet?" Arc asked.

Jetter walked in and grabbed Arc helmet and handed it to Arc.

"Meet me in the barracks when your done." Arc said.

"Will do." Jetter replied.

Arc turned and left and made his way to the barracks where he found most of his squad. All that was missing was Bronze. Arc tried to contact him but to little luck.

"He hasn't answered anything at all today." Scout said.

"Bring him here." Arc ordered.

"Yes captain." Scout replied as he ran off to go get Bronze.
