==History==
===Battle of Zygnost===
In the early stages of the Clone Wars, Clone Commander CC-7427 "Rayvis" led Alpha Company, a company of clone troopers within the 401st Legion, to the planet Zygnost to escort Senator Ladan Duran on a diplomatic meeting with the Far Tech Alliance. After rumors spread of President Meeko Shrike conspiring with Head of State Count Dooku, Duran sought out Shrike to ensure his allegiance to the Galactic Republic. However, Shrike revealed that he in fact aligned with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and as Duran sent the clone troopers to apprehend him, the members of the Zygnostian Guard opened fire on the Republic forces. Shrike escaped to his office in the Zygnost Capitol, where he met with Dooku to discuss the Far Tech Alliance defecting from the Republic.
As the Battle of Zygnost commenced, Dooku brought his personal flotilla to blockade Zygnost and the Republic sent Jedi General Del Morrigan's task force to break through the blockade and support the company. The Zygnostian guards were aided by the Separatist Droid Army and managed to push back the clone troopers, until Morrigan and Jedi Commander Kenan Verso arrived. Verso was assigned with escorting Duran to safety, while Morrigan led the clones to fight through the waves of battle droids and guards defending the Capitol. When they made it to the Capitol, Morrigan and Verso stormed into Shrike's office to confront Dooku, but they were defeated in a duel, and therefore, Dooku and Shrike made their escape aboard Dooku's solar sailer. Following the Republic's defeat, Morrigan regrouped with Alpha Company to assess the damage before withdrawing back to Coruscant.
