==History==
During the War of the Ring, Howzer's squad served in the Lessu battalion and was tasked with freeing Ryloth from Separatist control. In the aftermath of the war and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Lessu battalion became part of the newly formed Stormtrooper Corps, and was ordered to remain on Ryloth and protect the native Twi'leks. In reality, this was a ruse, with the battalion's true mission being to guard an new Imperial doonium refinery and to enforce Imperial authority over the planet.Devil's Deal
Not long after the refinery went online, a squad of rogue clone commandos, Clone Force 99, infiltrated the Imperial installation and extracted Free Ryloth Movement leader Cham Syndulla and his wife from Imperial captivity. Howzer's squad, equipped with riot shields, were ordered by clone commander CT-9904 to cut off the rogue clone's escape. Alongside three ES troopers, Howzer's squad positioned themselves outside the refinery's only exit. When their commanding officer Howzer appeared to them, the squad listened as the clone captain denounced the Empire's actions on Ryloth. Convinced with their captain's speech, six clones of Howzer's squad threw down their arms and stood with him in defiance, while the remaining four remained loyal to the Empire and held them at gunpoint. CT-9904 subsequently ordered Howzer and the clones who stood with him to be arrested.Rescue on Ryloth (episode)
