ARF-3359

"All my life I've been told that I'm a soldier. I've been told that a good soldier follows orders. I've come to realize that a good soldier doesn't mean a good person, and I'd rather be a good person than a good soldier." - CT-3359 to ARC-22ARF-3359, also known as "Longshot" to his fellow clones, was a trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic. Born on Kamino the same as all other Jango Fett clones, CT-3359 was a part of the 501st Legion's Trebuchet Battalion. He served as a part of Aurek Company first seeing action at the battle of Mimban. 3359 was shown to be a loyal and dedicated soldier, but as the war dragged on he began to have doubts about his orders, even going as far as to refuse orders that he felt were morally bankrupt
== Biography ==
Part of the latter batches of clone troopers sent to fight in the Clone Wars. He is distinct in that he was one of the first clones to undergo a process known as "flash training", a process in which memories of another clone were implanted into a new rookie clone in a attempt to make training far faster. Due to being one of the first clones to undergo such a procedure 3359 would occasionally have small "Blank outs" were he would have trouble remembering basic tactics that he believed himself to have been taught. As his time in Trebuchet went on however he began to have these episodes less and less, perhaps due to now having real combat experience supplement the flash training.
== Mimban Campaign ==
Longshot's first taste if combat came during the Republics campaign on the planet of Mimban. Longshot arrived the night after the rest of Trebuchet had secured a base of operations known as Fort Cresh. After arriving on the planet he was greeted by the then Captain of Besh company, Captain 3182 'Crackerjack'. After being greeted by the Captain, both he and Longshot were alerted to a incoming separatist attack on the base, to which Crackerjack simply remarked that it sounded as if he was needed on the front line. Longshot quickly rushed through the mud of the reserve trenches, getting to the front lines and aiding in repelling the droid attack alongside his brothers, and getting his first taste of combat.
=== Meeting Stec ===
It was in the trenches of Mimban where Longshot met the arc trooper Alpha-22, who went by the name of Stec. Longshot quickly developed a admiration for Stec, seeing him as a mentor and someone to look up too. During Longshots first morning watch on Mimban, Stec had joined him in the bunker where Longshot was manning a E-Web. as the two silently kept watch, occasionally making the odd comment here and there they came under the fire of a droid sniper from no man's land, Stec unable to get a shot on the droid quickly slid Longshot his Westar which Longshot grabbed and used to quickly dispatch of the sniper, an act that would earn him his name.

During the Mission Longshot was gravely wounded when the squad encountered two Dark Acolytes, during the ordeal his lung ended up collapsing and he barely survived, After taking heavy casualties Longshot and the rest of the men were ordered to return to the main hangar while Stec dealt with the acolytes, after slaying both of them Longshot and the others climbed into a AT-AT and used it to escape the ship by dropping out of the moon pool, where they were picked up by a LAAT-C.
== Republic Civil War ==
One of Longshots greatest challenges would come when he and his men were placed under Admiral Talbet. Longshot and the rest of Trebuchet were sent to the magma planet of Deltiv. He and the others had been ordered to execute all civilian personnel inside a Magma Processing Facility. Longshot refused to do so, and so he along with a few others attempted to stop the mission and arrest the leaders, claiming that by following the orders they were committing treason. Longshot and the other rebellious troopers were quickly overpowered and detained for their refusal and set to be executed once they were brought back on board the Phalanx. After others onboard found out however, they quickly rebelled, especially once it had been discovered that Admiral Talbet had falsified his orders to kill the civilians. A battle quickly erupted in which Longshot and the other rebels quickly took control of the ship. During the fighting Longshot ended up encountering flame trooper CT-9438, also known as Pyro, Longshot, enraged from when he saw Pyro gleefully burning civilians on the surface of Deltiv, quickly fired at him, emptying his DC-15A into Pyro's head and torso. After the battle Longshot expressed no remorse for what he did, insisting that pyro was a rabid animal that needed to be put down
