**Backstory:**

*Data File access.*

**Data Entry 00-00-01.**

Born as CT-8579, the trooper has been assigned has been assigned to the 501st Legion and will serve under General Skywalker.  His training was rather standard for any of his brothers, he showed above average marks for heavy weaponry and was drawn to such weapons but aside from that he has not stood out in too much.  I must say I cannot expect much from this trooper, he will serve as needed but I see no necessity to recommend him for any higher postings or ranks prior to the opening of the war.

**Data Entry 00-00-20: "Zillo Beast Incident. Keep an eye on this."**

An interesting development has occurred regarding this Trooper.  He has begun to show something of growth.  There was an occurrence on Corusaunt where the recently captured Zillo Beast escaped from captivity and began to assault the Senate Building.  CT-8579 loaded into an LAAT to assist in its capture with multiple clone troopers.  For context, he has also grown closer to CT-8155 and CT-8625, named Saint and Grizz. Special rockets loaded with a type of toxic gas were provided to take down the creature and as 8155 began to slide out of the LAAT, struck by the beast he attached himself to the LAAT and retrieved him, not only hanging onto the other clone but managing to launch a gas filled rocket into the creatures mouth.  He may be something to watch.  He has since been promoted to Corporal.

**Data entry 00-00-23: "Increased brutality?"**

The Third Fleet has deployed to Geonosis and CT-8579 seems to have shown complete brutality and an increased melee skill he did not posses at the end of his training…I hear he cut a Geonosian’s wings off and threw him off a wall…

**Data entry 00-12-67 "The Second Battle of Geonosis."**

The Second Battle of Geonosis has proven to be an exponential ground of growth for the trooper.  Shortly after entry -23 he requested and was transferred into the Galactic Marines under the command of CT-4569 Ghoul.  He is now among the ranks of Devil Dog Company, First Platoon, Breakpoint Squad.  Receiving on planet training as an MP he put said abilities to extreme use and brought a necessary order to the Third Fleet Join base having detained multiple troublemakers and even the odd defector.  While in this new stage of training he was under the tutorage of 4569 as well as Alpha ARC-67 “Scar” and his skills began to excel far beyond expected of him.  He crossed paths with a multitude of dangerous enemies and seemed to take each hit in stride, even facing a strange blob like creature that ***[information redacted].***

He fought alongside Breakpoint with seemingly renewed vigor and tenacity that sometimes bordered on barbaric, and yet he handled his MP work with intelligence and a growing sense of patience.  I have been permitted to share information regarding his CO’s, Ghoul and Scar.  Both of them showed increased signs of mental decay and instability, shown not only in brutal training tactics that resulted in the injury of several Breakpoint members (8579 included) as well as increased behavior that would later be deemed defective.  Alpha ARC 67 eventually broke from the base in a personal walker and it resulted in a large manhunt that brought in member(s) of the [Redacted].  Instead of attempting to aid or even staying out of the way 8579 took his CO’s personal LAAT and aided in his capture, showing some resolve as he lead Breakpoint in surrounding the Alpha ARC. He also has gone through considerable injury and somehow come out completely without the aid of Jedi healing. During one skirmish he was stabbed through the gut with a vibro sword. Not only did he survive, but he pulled the sword out of his stomach and killed the experimental droid unit that attacked him.

He was also freely testified against Jedi General Akira in her trial and that of 8625, incriminating them.  It is something to note that he did not withhold information despite being close to the accused parties.  This level of loyalty and resolve is rare to find, even amongst clones.  It may perhaps be too early to tell but I do consider recommending him for the ARC program.

**Data entry 00-99-00: "Loyalty and Ingenuity."**

It has been some time since the last composite entry but CT-8579 has continued to reach new heights. Even recently on the planet of Kelo-3 the now Sergeant was involved in the takedown of a rouge mercenary, his information has proved her totally and undeniably guilty. Also interestingly he seems to have taken the husk of a droid from the dunes of Geonosis and reprogrammed it into being a Republic aligned Battledroid... this ingenuity is something to keep track of. His loyalty has again been tested as one of his other long time friends, CT-8155 defected and was hunted down by specialized republic forces. He was carefully watched as he was close to the investigation but he showed no sign of deviance or regression, in fact he seemed remarkably unchanged and willingly submited any information he had. It seemed like a calculated decision on his part. He has been cleared for the ARC program.

**Data entry 02-77-12**
The trooper has grown in rank again and officially holds the title of Officer, with it he has left 1st Platoon behind and fashioned his own unit titled the Crusaders. A crude name, but accurate. His actions and the actions his platoon have taken under his command have saved the lives of many across the galaxy in a short amount of time, having moved on from Kelo-3 to fight on planets such as Delei-Dintu and Vultec Prime. Not only has he proven to be a deadly combatant but also a capable leader. The Crusaders seem to take on the brunt of enemy opposition and manage to come out with a victory every time. Not a single retreat has been recounted as of yet.

**Data entry 01-88-00:**

Participation and victory in the Delin-Dintu Campaign

**Data entry 01-89-08: "The First Battle of Kamino"**

**Data entry 02-88-19: Vultec Prime**

**Data entry 02-89-21 : "Deleian Alliance Campaign-Where is he?"**

**Data entry 03-11-11: "Felucia Reinforcement Campaign: Total Absence."**

The LT has been increasingly absent and in this case entirely disappeared. His unit powerd on well without him under the directive of lieutenant Sentinel. Where did he go? His absence is marked as excused.

**Data entry 24-90-00. "Jabim and growing maturity."**

I must admit that I am perplexed on how we missed the potential and prowess of this clone. He seems to have grown far more on his own time post training than he ever did under the trainers of Kamino. He posses a drive unlike what I have ever seen. I left this out of my last reports but he has seemingly grown an attachment to ARC-3600 "Phantom". The two originally met on Geonosis as Marines but I thought little of it as 3600 soon transferred to the Star Corp. They grow closer and closer and unlike Hindsight's previous friendships, this one has not ended with the others defection. In fact he's matured a great deal. Prior to deployment on Geonosis he went out with friends and was reprimanded by an NCO [SGT. Mute, add in link when made.] Since then he hasn't had a single violation and has cut himself from distractions like troopers tend to have, allowing him and his Platoon to sky rocket up the notable units.

His sheer tenacity and endurance has been passed down to his men. The Joint Jabim Campaign he and his men were down in the trenches defending it. Many of the survivors recount that a red and black ARC, yes he has passed his ARC trials, was the sole reason they survived. The trench nearly collapsed during a thunderous storm as the droids pressed the attack, leading to many deaths and injuries. Against the storm, clone infantry recounted the "roaring" of marines like an organic second wave of thunder. The crusaders seemed to beat back the droids with sheer will power that disguised insightful forethought and tactical awareness as the Marine used explosives to disrupt the droids charge and secured anyone along the trench that went down. By the time the droids reached the lines of the clone defenders they were nearly decimated and soon were as Hindsight launched his scouts in a blitz of the enemy on BARC Speeders and AT-RT's, leaving no droid survivors, the clone lines lived to fight on.

**Data entry 78-00-79.**

The commander has continued to grow throughout his work. He has climbed the ranks like I have never seen and has established himself as an inspiring leader who has seen victory after victory. Some time after his reaching senior CO status he took on the duty of Chief of Security for the entire third fleet, a title I'm not sure a clone has held before. He has handled a multitude of investigations, and incidents with all manner of threats, internal as much as external. Many of these are labelled as classified, not the gap between these summary entries. His men seem emboldened by his lead, not quite the friendly and guiding hand one might find in the 501st, but the steeled and determined excellence that Commander Bacara holds in such high esteem. He seems to not hold any distractions in his way and despite all the horrors he hasn't seen a drop in effectiveness. War fatigue seemingly has no affect on him, I am beginning to wonder if he is enjoying the fight. I have removed all doubt of his prowess from my mind, how fascinating that his skill and leadership capabilities came not from his original training but instead from his own means. Recently he has been promoted to Regimental Commander.
