Mereel Skirata Mereel Skirata , formerly known as Null - 7 or N - 7 and better known as Mereel , was a lieutenant and one of six Null - class Advanced Recon Commando s created for use in the Grand Army of the Republic . He was named after former Mandalore Jaster Mereel , Jango Fett ' s mentor . Biography . Early Life . At the chronological age of two , he and his fellow Nulls were brought before the Kaminoan scientist Orun Wa , bounty hunter Jango Fett , and Sergeant Kal Skirata for review . When the Kaminoans attempted to terminate the Nulls , he snatched Skirata ' s holdout blaster and tossed it to his brother Null - 11 , nicknamed Ordo , who leveled it at Orun Wa . Skirata managed to get the weapon back , and received command of the Nulls as he was the only one who could control them . After that situation , Kal Skirata brought the Nulls up as sons . Clone Wars . Mereel and the other Null - class ARCs , though they worked for the GAR , Grand Army of the Republic , were constantly hunting for clues as to the location of the Kaminoan scientist Ko Sai so they and Kal Skirata could find out how to stop the clones ' accelerated aging . Mereel participated in the black op in 21 BBY , led by Skirata , to destroy the Separatist terrorist cells operating on Coruscant along with his brother Ordo , Walon Vau , Delta Squad , Omega Squad , Etain Tur - Mukan , and Bardan Jusik . A few months later , he participated in an unauthorized mission to Kamino . Disguised as a normal clone trooper , he accessed the Tipoca City computer mainframe for any information on Ko Sai . Although he didn ' t find any , he did succeed in downloading part of a secret conversation between Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Prime Minister Lama Su , that revealed that secret cloning facilities had been set up on Coruscant and that the Republic wasn ' t planning to order any future batches of clones from Kamino . As the search for Ko Sai intensified , Mereel´s single - minded patience paid off and led to the capture of the Kaminoan scientist . Not having happy memories of her , Mereel reintroduced himself to Ko Sai with his nerf prod , causing Kal Skirata to worry that Mereel would lose control . Of all the Nulls , Mereel had been the most carefree and charming , and it was because of these traits that Kal choose him for this delicate part of the mission . Later , Mereel would work with Etain to make Ko Sai create a cure for the clones ' accelerated aging , while becoming a journeyman expert himself in genetics . When Ko Sai finally came to the end of her rope and hung herself , Mereel gathered his brothers to " prepare " the body for shipping . Mereel´s trademark smile , an indication he didn´t have a care in the galaxy , never faltered . Post - Clone Wars . Mereel would later desert with the rest of the Nulls shortly after Order 66 was issued , and would start anew with his brothers on Mandalore . When Kal nearly broke down after seeing Tallisibeth Enwandung - Esterhazy ( nicknamed Scout ) , because of her looking similar to Etain , Mereel helped Kal back inside of their home . Mereel also managed to get along with Kina Ha , the Kaminoan Jedi which was amazing as he hated all Kaminoans . Like the other Nulls , Mereel was disgusted with the release of the virus FG36 by the Empire on Gibad , and plans with them to hide in the water reservoir or the fuel tank of Nyreen Vollen ' s ship , Cornucopia to avoid Imperial inspection once they retrieve Darman Skirata and Niner Skirata from Coruscant . Personality and traits . Mereel was the most “ charming , entertaining , and sociable ” of the Nulls , and was relatively well adjusted to life outside Kamino . A ladies ' man , his romances tended to be minor and brief . Thanks to his influence , Corr also behaved in this manner . Mereel was able to easily cope in most social situations . At one time he “ held court ” in the Coruscant Security Force Staff and Social club , entertaining commandos and CSF officers alike by reciting swear words in other languages . He reacted to many situations in a calmer manner than his brother , Ordo , and had a good sense of humor , often joking around or making witty remarks . Mereel was frequently described as a “ daredevil lunatic ” , a trait that often caused his " father " and brothers occasional anxiety . He sought out thrills , purposely skating on thin ice in everything from negotiations with techs to piloting and rapid - roping . Kal noticed that Mereel seemed to feel the need to take risks and excel in order to edge out of Ordo ' s shadow . He also shared many traits with his Null brothers . He had a peckish appetite , and a sweet tooth , which Skirata theorized might be due to his maturation , and the metabolic need to fuel his rapid aging . Due to the Kamioans genetic tinkering , Mereel and the other Nulls had very intense loyalties - either they would die for you , or you would end up dead . Like his brothers , Mereel was loyal only to Kal Skirata , and his family . The Kaminoans changed the Null ' s genes so that Mereel and his brothers had perfect memories . This often came in handy during Mereel ' s work , allowing him to memorize codes , manuals , and other information . These abilities eventually lead to his specialization in slicing and genetics . However , the same genetic tinkering , paired with his brutal childhood lead Mereel and the other Nulls to possess a fierce , resounding hatred of Kaminoans . Mereel enjoyed piloting " Gi ' ka " , a Wave Chaser submersible bought on Doruuma . He favored Merr - Sonn heavy weapons ; his weapons of choice were the Z - 6 rotary blaster cannon and the Reciprocating quad blaster .
