Welcome to Rico's Brigade Wiki, where you can learn everything of this universe made by the Youtuber, DaleyTactics, who his fans just call Daley.

Rico's Brigade is a fan-film series/Mod let's play created by YouTuber DaleyTactics, with new episodes produced in seasons and released weekly. It takes place in a universe closely resembling, but distinct from (especially after the events of *Revenge of the Sith*) the *Star Wars* franchise created by George Lucas and currently owned by the Walt Disney Company. The series is made using the *Galaxy at War* mod to the video game *Men Of War: Assault Squad* which allows Star Wars characters, vehicles, weapons, locations and more to be inserted into the World War 2 real-time-tatics/strategy game. Photographs and clips from the official films and footage from other video games such as *Star Wars: Battlefront* and *Empire at War* have also been used in cinematics.

Each episode begins with a cinematic/cutscene that shows the characters, continues the established story, and introduces the battle of the episode. The rest of the episode is screencapture footage of a battle between two or more of the factions modded into the game. Though some episodes focus on smaller engagements, the majority include hundreds of combatants. The mod allows Daley to take control of any soldier or vehicle he wants, and even add and subtract soldiers and scenery, and Daley does allow himself to regularly command the heroic forces, he usually refrains from interfering unless necessary to continue the battle; a main draw of the series is the ability to see large scale battles between mostly AI-controlled soldiers, with no outcome certain. But whatever outcome does occur, including the antagonist faction winning or main characters being wounded or dying, will impact the story going forwards. Similar to a Let's Play, during battle segments of episodes, Daley will provide voice-over, recorded with the footage of the battle, both describing what is going on and often making jokes. Because the battles are uncertain, the length of episodes varies from under 20 minutes to over 40.

*Rico's Brigade* takes place in a universe that combines elements and characters from *Star Wars* canon, *Star Wars* Legends, and original, fan-fiction elements imagined by Daley. It follows the titular character of Rico, a clone of bounty hunter Jango Fett, created among billions to fight for the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, following the deaths of Rico's entire squad, known as Daley Squad, Rico began investigating the breeding of his clone "brothers" and soon discovered the terrible truth: Each clone was implanted with a bio-technological chip in their brain that, when activated in an event known as "Order 66," would cause them to both kill anyone resembling a Jedi, and become mindlessly loyal to their superiors.

Though Rico did not know it yet, the clone army was not created to defend the Republic, but to serve as the assassins and enforcers of Sheev "Darth Sidious" Palpatine, the current Chancellor of the Republic and secretly a lord of the Sith, a group dedicated to the destruction of the Republic and its guardians, the Jedi Order. Because of Palpatine, Rico's every attempt to warn his superiors of the obvious plot was foiled. Giving up, Rico instead used his natural charisma and intelligence to amass a following of roughly 1 billion open-minded clone commanders and their soldiers, and get them stationed in the Vergesso Asteroid Field, where they would have no contact with the rest of the galaxy, and could wait out whatever doom was quickly approaching the Republic.

At the end of the "Clone Wars," Order 66 was executed, the entire Jedi Order branded traitors and massacred to a few fugitive survivors, and Palpatine declared himself emperor of the Republic, now the Galactic Empire. The reorganized regime quickly instituted fascist, xenophobic, and militaristic policy, and expanded from the galactic core outward, instituting permanent military rule on all planets initially in the Republic, and annexing almost all formerly independent worlds. Though the Empire promised peace and prosperity to worlds ravaged by the Clone Wars, the populace soon found this a lie as many non-human species were enslaved, taxes skyrocketed to pay for the Empire's massive war machine, and draconian laws were instituted despite the Empire's own widespread corruption and incompetence. Pockets of resistance sprung up, but due to the Empire's massive military, initially of clones, now of regular recruits and conscripts in similar armor known as "Stormtroopers," no rebel group was able to gain any sort of foothold. But roughly two years after Order 66, a new hope emerged from the far corners of the galaxy; the military force known as Rico's Brigade.

As of September, 2021, Rico's Brigade has finished its 5th season, the shortest season yet, with only 7 episodes. If you are a fan please use the provided links to Like, Comment, and Subscribe to DaleyTactics.
