Alpha-72, named Mav meaning "Will" in Mando'a, is an Advanced Recon Commando Captain serving the Grand Army of the Republic and later Stormtrooper Corps and Vanguard Battalion in the latter half of the Clone Wars. Originally assigned to the Special Operations Brigade under Echo Company, Mav served two tours of duty, meeting the Director of Special Forces Arligan Zey during his second tour. Believing in the execution of orders and mission objectives, Mav is by-the-books and necessarily optimistic towards his odds of survival as an ARC Trooper.

Mav was deployed on Kamino for the first time as all other ARC Troopers, seeing action against the impending Separatist Invasion, and defending Tipoca City against the Confederacy at all costs.

### Under the Special Operations Brigade

Mav served two tours of duty with the Special Operations Brigade as a Lieutenant, routinely under Captain White and his fellow Lieutenant and best friend, Narit. Having over 100 completed missions on record in only just the first year of the war, White's Squad was one of the most effective units in the Grand Army. It was only until a fateful mission to Ciutric that got Mav and the squad captured. Ending with White's death, Mav's interrogation and the murder of Narit for Mav's withholding of information.

Mav only survived due to the efforts of a Republic strike team sent in to rescue White's Team after going silent for 2 weeks, after breaking into the compound, the team found the remains of the squad in the brig and escorted Mav safely off Ciutric to a Republic Medical Station located in the Ryndellia System. Which he stayed healing there for 3 months. He was saved by Trebuchet Battalion and Commander Anakin Skywalker when General Grievous of the Confederacy launched a strike on the Ryndellia Medical Station with his flagship, the Malevolence.

### Transfer to Vanguard Battalion

His wounds and healing was not the end of his service in the Grand Army, however. After being transferred away from the Special Operations Brigade and promoted to Captain as well as receiving several commendations, Mav was placed in the 501st Legion's Vanguard Battalion operating on the Venator-class Star Destroyer *"Phalanx."* Assuming command of the unit's Kandosii Squad. Mav took a liking to the unit, picking and choosing several of its members at a later time. He led effectively and held remorse for his team.

### Project Burning Sky

Mav was first deployed with Vanguard Battalion to Genassa, with orders to raid a Research Facility backed by a light garrison of Separatist Troops. Getting shot down and going under the cover of the snow. Mav and Crackerjack, Captain of Vanguard Battalion's Besh Company, stumbled upon an entire Separatist Project codenamed "Burning Sky." Employing experimental separatist artillery that could act as anti-air and anti-armor. Much of the Project's schematics were recovered and safely extracted back to Republic Intelligence.
