Mort Mort was a Human male , a clone of Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett . During the Clone Wars , Mort served as a clone commando in the Republic ' s Grand Army , but following a betrayal by his commanding officer and a period of brutal experimentation , ended up a drunkard on the planet Talus . Biography . Serving the Republic . Mort was born on the planet Kamino , one of the many clone troopers grown as part of the Republic ' s clone army . He was trained as a clone commando , joining with three other troopers to form an elite squad adept at covert infiltration and the destruction of enemy targets . During a mission to Kashyyyk , Mort and his squad were ordered to destroy an enemy command bunker deep within enemy territory , a task they ' d had experience with in the past . The mission was an initial success ; the bunker was destroyed and the squad moved to the extraction point . They were attacked by enemy forces , and although the commandos could deal with the opposition and still reach the extraction zone in time , they decided to call ahead to notify command of their situation . Fighting off dozens of pursuing enemies , Mort and his team approached the extraction zone only to watch as their LAAT / i gunship took off without them . Their commander , a non - clone officer by the name of Morkov , had decided not to risk the carrier for a group of what he saw as expendable soldiers . Stranded on Kashyyyk . Left behind on the arboreal planet , Mort and his comrades attempted to rendezvous with the remaining troops on Kashyyyk . Unfortunately , they were deep within the dense forest , which made the trek nearly impossible . Over the following weeks , Mort would experience the deaths of his three clone brothers to wildlife , lingering enemies , and the planet ' s harsh forces of nature . For months , possibly even years — Mort lost track of the time — he survived in the jungles of Kashyyyk until one day he was forced to fight for food with one of the planet ' s animal inhabitants and lost his arm . Believing his injury fatal as he bled out on the forest floor , Mort laid down on his back and prepared himself for death . Lab animal . As he lay dying , Mort was found by a research team led by Doctor Ortoz . His life was saved , but at a cost . Replacing Mort ' s lost arm with a prosthetic replacement , Ortoz saw the clone as a source of incredible potential and began to conduct a series of gruesome experiments on him . Eventually , Mort regained enough of his strength to put a permanent end to the experiments , likely killing Ortoz in the process . After , he managed to sneak aboard a freighter and made his way to Dearic , the capital city of the planet Talus , where he would frequent the local cantina and drown his horrible memories in alcoholic beverages . Vengeance . Mort hated Morkov for what he had done , and more than anything wanted to see his former commander dead . He once tried to track down Morkov and kill him to avenge both himself and his fallen brothers , but learned that Morkov had risen to become a high - ranking officer within the Galactic Empire , which had come to power while he was on Kashyyyk . Realizing any attempt at revenge would be futile , he gave up his quest and turned . However , one day Mort met an individual at the Dearic Cantina who showed an interest in Mort ' s life story . The spacer sympathized with Mort upon hearing his tale , and agreed to help him get revenge on Morkov . Now retired from Imperial service , Morkov had become an illegal arms dealer , selling smuggled Imperial weapons to the highest bidder , and operating out of the trade city Keren on the planet Naboo . After meeting with Morkov and acquiring evidence of his illicit activities , the individual met with Mort again who suggested the information be taken to those the spacer was loyal to . Not long after , the spacer returned to the Dearic Cantina with word of Morkov ' s death . Mort was touched by the trouble the stranger went to for him and as a reward and means of thanking this individual , Mort gave him his old , unneeded combat armor . With his one true goal left in life now accomplished , Mort asked his new friend to come see him again someday , to let him know that he was doing all right ; Mort also expressed his intention to cut back on his drinking and , as he put it , " straighten himself out . " Personality and traits . A loyal soldier during his time in service to the Republic , Mort became bitter and distant toward the galaxy as a whole following his abandonment on Kashyyyk and his time under Dr . Ortoz ' s harsh experimentation . Looking to alcohol for solace , Mort would waste his days away drinking at the Dearic Cantina . He never forgot the pain of losing the other members of his commando squad : his brothers , and the only family he ' d had as a clone . Because Mort and his team had been lost on Kashyyyk and presumed dead during the formation of the Galactic Empire , he would never don the armor of the stormtroopers or join the Empire ' s army . Mort feared that the Empire would most likely see him as a deserter and move to end his life if they ever became aware of his survival . Cybernetic implants . Due to the actions of Doctor Ortoz , Mort had a cybernetic left arm replacing the one he lost to predator on Kashyyyk . He also possessed an unknown number of other cybernetic replacements that continued to keep him alive and appearing youthful in 1 ABY , despite being close to 60 - years - old biologically , due to the accelerated aging present in all clone troopers . Mort despised the cybernetics , and expressed his belief that he would have been better off dying without them when questioned . Behind the scenes . Mort was a " non - player character , " or " NPC , " in the game " Star Wars Galaxies " in the Dearic Cantina on Talus , with whom the player has to speak to in order to receive a quest , part of the Clone Wars Relics series . When the player first converses with Mort , he will recount his story to the player . He was added to the game with the second expansion , " Rage of the Wookiees " , in 2005 . His quests are part of the Clone Relics quest series which was used by the game designers to incorporate elements from " " ( Katarn armor , ARC - 170 starfighter , etc . ) and " " into the game . The player ' s affiliation affected the coloration of the Katarn armor Mort would give to them : if the player was a Rebel , they would receive the Mark IV armor ( white with red stripes ) ; if neutral , the Mark V armor ( white with blue stripes ) ; and if Imperial , the Mark VI armor ( black with green stripes ) . Some fans speculate that Mort is actually the commando RC - 1207 — " Sev " of Delta Squad from " " — due to the similarities in their stories , such as their shared history as Republic commandos and their abandonment on Kashyyyk .
