CT - 0876, aka Loop was a clone trooper originally assigned to the 91st Recon Corps, but last minute was transferred to the 104th Wolfpack Battalion. He was named after an incident during training where he lead his squad in a circle during a training sim, looping them back around to where they started. For reasons mostly unknown, Loop had an obsession with obtaining as much money as possible. Always claiming situations as "profitable" and calculating incredibly elaborate ways to scam people.

## Kamino

Loop stood out from most of the other clones and was quickly promoted to Corporal. After CC - 3636 "Woffle" became indisposed, Loop stepped forward asked to be the Acting Battalion Commander of the 104th. With approval from Mace Windu, the change in command was put in place, and Loop was tasked with leading the 104th during the defense of Kamino.

During the battle itself, Loop commanded the 104th's flagship venator, known as the Triumphant. After the rest of the GAR fleet advanced to meet the CIS, Loop held his ship back for AUREK, the exfil squad on the surface, to return with the wounded. Not seeing any action this far back, he grabbed some of his finest brothers from both the 104th and the 21st and began boarding the CIS ships.

Crammed in one LAAT, flanked by 2 Z-95s for escort, the boarding squad barreled into the CIS fleet and essentially crashed into the hangar of a Providence-Class Dreadnought. The team made quick work of the ships still within the hangar before a large squad of droids entered. Unknown to him at the time, the CIS had mounted an Anti-Air Turret within the hangars of their ships. This turret made quick work of the teams exit plan, so they decided to take the whole ship. After a less than easy fight to the bridge, him and CC - 1138 "Bacara" of the 21st made use of every tool the CIS has left for them. Loop ordered his team to take control of the ships guns and point them at the surrounding ships, meanwhile CT - 1671 Howitzer called in a secondary landing team to rescue them. With the nose of the Providence pointed at a Lucrehulk, Bacara punched the engines to full and the team made a mad dash back down to the hangar bay.

On the LAAT, Loop ordered a resupply at the Triumphant, before they would go back out and take another ship. As the team got on board they received the full description of everything that had been transpiring down on the surface of Kamino. Discouraged but not yet defeated, the boarding team was about to head out once again before CIS fleet had completely retreated.

## ARC Trooper

After his step down from the role of Acting Battalion Commander, Loop was awarded the rank of Captain by his Jedi General Plo Koon, and made it his mission to become and ARC Trooper. That feat proved all to easy as his repertoire already exceeded what was necessary. Messing around with his new brother in the so called "ARC Gang", him and a small group discussed the potential of using a substance they deemed the "Bacta Gusher" to strip the wealthiest person in the galaxy of their money. This plan never went anywhere but the group had fun that night nonetheless.

### Falling out

In a disagreement, Loop was stripped of his rank as an ARC Trooper, and chose to never return. He kept wearing the armor given to him out of spite, and also because it was better than the normal clone armor he had before.

## L&D Brewery co.

Sometime during his career, after his promotion to Major in the 104th, Loop devised and idiotic scheme to turn profit. On board the Triumphant, existed a farm, only capable of small harvests of a plant that the battalion dubbed "Space Wheat". Due to a leak in the ships reactor exhaust mixing with the Space Wheat, and a incident known simply to the 104th as "The Blue", Loop took it upon himself to properly "dispose" of the remaining Space Wheat. Using the cockpit of an A-Wing, he began fermenting the Space Wheat into a type of alcohol. This would later go on to be classified as Moonshine, but Loop would never refer to it as that.

The first batch of this exotic, top shelf liquor named "Jawa Tears" was a raging success, and Loop began work on the second batch. In a strong arm deal, Loop and his fellow 104th member CT - 0898 "Dire" officially created the L&D Brewery co. The second batch, dubbed "Jawa Tears Deluxe", selling just as well, if not better due to its increased price than the normal Jawa Tears.

### Trouble on Coruscant

Having the highest population out of all the GAR planets, Loop set it his goal to set up a small empire of liquor on Coruscant. It would be purely for the benefit of 104th, is what Loop would say when people questioned him. Really he didn't know at the time what he would spend the money on.

It started off small, of course. Mainly just passersby on the streets who he quickly swindled credits out of. Though eventually the fun would come to an end. Word reached the Guard that a clone was selling moonshine, and an investigation quickly ensued. Loop found himself on the second floor of the Dealer's Den when the Coruscant Guard came bursting through the front doors. Grabbing his pack filled with "samplers" and ditching the Rodian lone sharks, Loop jumped out of a nearby window and booked it down an alley way.

The constant clanking of bottles coming from his backpack was less than helpful, so he took it and flung the pack onto one of the nearby roof tops. Sprinting as fast as he could now to lose the Guard, Loop hit a dead end, and tried his best to explain to his brothers what exactly was going on.

### Imprisonment

After being arrest, Loop was barely even tried. Being a clone, even with his rank of Major, he had stepped far enough outside what was permitted for a soldier owned by the Republic. Put into a medium-security prison on Coruscant, Loop would be sentence to execution 3 weeks after arriving.
