Atin Skirata RC - 3222 , also known as Atin ( pronounced / ah - TEEN / ) , the Mando ' a word for " persistent " , or " stubborn " , was a clone commando in the Galactic Republic ' s Omega Squad during the Clone Wars . He was trained by Sergeant Walon Vau . Biography . Training . During his training , Atin gained several scars from battle . These were partly due to the regular training , but also for another reason : Walon Vau . Vau was a ruthless training sergeant , making his soldiers fight each other , or fight him . Vau made Atin choose after he lost his first squad , who were killed in training while trying to rescue him . Atin did not want to fight his brother clones , and instead opted to fight Vau . Vau nearly killed Atin with a Mandalorian saber . Vau ' s training was brutal , and Kal Skirata saw him as a sadist . He went on to join Prudii Squad . Loss of his squad . He was a former member of Prudii Squad , whose other members died at the Battle of Geonosis , leaving him to be reassigned . To get Atin out of his survivor ' s guilt after his squadmates died , Vau took his knife to the clone , leaving a scar that stretched from his right eye to the left side of his chin , distinguishing him from his fellow clones . Atin soon after became part of the newly formed Omega Squad , along with three other clones who had lost the rest of their squads , Darman , Fi and Niner . Mission to Qiilura . Three months after the Battle of Geonosis , he accompanied Omega Squad on a mission to the world of Qiilura . He helped in the capture of the Separatist scientist , Doctor Ovolot Qail Uthan , and also in the defeat of the Separatist forces there , who were under the command of Ghez Hokan . During the mission , he was injured by Hurati . Galactic City Spaceport Hostage Siege . A month later , Atin participated in the Galactic City spaceport hostage siege and helped to take out the Korun nai terrorists . Mission to Coruscant . During the Mission to the Corellian - Perlemian Intersection , Atin and the rest of Omega Squad captured some terrorists connected to a terror cell on Coruscant . They were assigned with Delta Squad and Kal Skirata to destroy the terrorist network and during the mission , Atin met up again with Walon Vau . Sev , a member of Delta Squad who had also trained under Vau , tried to protect Vau and had uneasy feelings towards Atin at first , but Kal Skirata made them cooperate . After the mission was over , Atin got his chance . He engaged Vau in nothing but a black bodysuit and with no weapons except a standard - issue commando vibroblade . They fought until Atin was in a position to kill Vau , but before Atin could deal the killing blow , Bardan Jusik burst in , separated them both with the Force , and ordered Atin to stand down . During the course of the Coruscant mission , Atin became romantically involved with a Twi ' lek waitress named Laseema . Mission to Olanet . About 65 days after the Coruscant mission , Atin accompanied the Null - class ARC trooper Prudii on a mission to the droid factory on Olanet . Atin had volunteered to do this , while the rest of Omega Squad were resting on Coruscant for a few days , so that he could learn Prudii ' s technique of infiltrating droid factories and making them produce substandard droids that could be defeated more easily . The mission was successful , but while they were there , Atin began to question the official Republic Intelligence figures for the strength of the Separatist Droid Army . They claimed that there were quadrillions of droids , but on Olanet , Atin could only see evidence for just a few hundred million . They were extracted from Olanet by a TIV , which under Prudii ' s orders detoured and attacked a Separatist droid transport near to Cato Neimoidia . This was an action that Atin thought was a bit crazy , because the droids were probably of a spiked batch , but Prudii explained that if they stopped taking shots at Separatists at whatever chance they had , then the Separatists may realize that the Republic had sabotaged their droids . Afterward they headed to an RV point near Drall in the Corellian system , to meet up with Kal Skirata , who had recently returned from a mission on Kamino . Atin was glad to see him again . Mission to Gaftikar . A week later , Atin was sent with Omega Squad to the world of Gaftikar , to aide the Null - class ARC trooper , A ' den in training the local Gaftikari resistance forces . They were transported there aboard the " Core Conveyor " , along with the 2nd Airborne Company of the 212th Attack Battalion . The clones of the Airborne Company showed a dislike to Omega Squad , because of their Mandalorian heritage . Atin asked them why they had a problem with this and found out that the Airborne Company had fought against the Mandalorian Protectors , resulting in many casualties . Atin found this whole incident disconcerting , as it was the first case he found of clone troopers disliking other clone troopers , despite the fact that he was already aware of the heated rivalry between the Nulls and the Alpha - class ARC troopers . Afterward , he tried to take his mind off the incident , by reading a letter that Laseema had sent him . Atin and the rest of Omega Squad were dropped onto Gaftikar from the air , wearing Clone paratrooper wings that they had fitted onto their armor and they were soon found by A ' den , who showed them the location of the rebel ' s camp . The job of training the local Marit resistance fighters had originally fallen to Sull , but he had gone MIA . The Marits got on well with all the clones , including Atin . When they offered him some of their stew , A ' den told him " " not to ask " " about it and he happily tucked in . However , he then learned that the Marits had a custom of eating their dead and that the stew contained the grandmother of one of the lizards , something that prompted Atin to throw up . Fi made a number of jokes about this . Afterward , he accompanied Darman on a reconnaissance mission into Gaftikar ' s capital city , Eyat , where they spotted Sull . They followed him back to his apartment and when they confronted him , things turned violent and Sull fired on them and hit Atin in the groin with his knee , but Atin succeeded in getting a vibroblade to the ARC ' s throat . They took him back to the camp , where they handed him over to A ' den . Sull was convinced that the Republic wanted to kill him , something that was confirmed when two Covert Ops clone trooper s attacked Darman , in the mistaken belief that he was Sull . Darman killed the troopers and Atin dug a grave for them , to give them a Mandalorian - style funeral . A few days later , he participated in the Battle of Gaftikar along with the rest of Omega Squad , who were ordered to identify comm stations on the planet , to target them for V - 19 Torrent starfighters to destroy . Afterward , they went to take out the Gaftikar HoloNet relay center . Atin climbed onto the roof to disable the satellite relay up - link , but the building suddenly exploded , causing him to break his ankle . Fi didn ' t come out so well and went into a coma , so Atin stood watch by his bacta tank aboard the " Leveler " , because he had bad memories from being in bacta , so he wanted to be there to comfort Fi in case he came around . Corr . The " Leveler " took them back to Coruscant and Atin accompanied Darman and Niner to the Arca Company Barracks , to meet up with Corr , who would be taking Fi ' s place in Omega Squad . Corr was a bit nervous , but Atin said he knew how he felt , as he had been one of Walon Vau ' s trainees and had had to get used to being with Skirata ' s trainees in Omega Squad . Venku Skirata . Atin met Kal again on Coruscant a few months later and was introduced by him to the newly born Venku Skirata . Kal took the opportunity to officially adopt all of Omega Squad into Clan Skirata , with Atin becoming Atin Skirata . Mission to Haurgab . Atin and the rest of Omega were sent to Haurgab to assassinate a Separatist leader . Atin and Omega succeeded but soon become over run by hostiles and got trapped in a sand storm . They are eventually rescued by a LAAT / i . Marriage . During the Battle of Coruscant , Atin feared he would not make it home and married Laseema . Skills . He was well - versed in communication and technology , as well as a small amount of demolitions , though most of such operations were left to Darman , Omega Squad ' s expert on that subject . Equipment . Atin discovered the Katarn Armor ' s weakness to Verpine Shatter Guns the hard way , and wound up in a fair amount of pain from it , although it did not seriously injure him . Personality and traits . Atin was recognizable for his large scar on his face , which was still healing during Omega ' s Mission to Qiilura . He was moderately humorous , but mostly his humor consisted of replying to Fi ' s jokes . He would go dead serious in combat however , much like all Republic Commandos .
