Aqua

Aqua is a clone in Rico's Brigade. He has light blue Phase I ARC trooper armor. He is somewhat of a legend in Rico's Brigade known for holding his ground near a water fountain protecting Senator Padme Amidala during a CIS invasion of Naboo, hence his name Aqua, Water Fountain Boi to all you memesters out there.

## Pre-Rico's Brigade Civil War

Prior to the Rico's Brigade Civil War (RBCW), Aqua was Commander Rico's personal messenger after Phantom's promotion to captain. Aqua informed Rico that he was unable to get a hold of Senator Bail Organa on any of the established communication channels. He was told by Rico to keep trying and if there wasn't anything within a couple of days to send over an investigation party.

## Rico's Brigade Civil War

Aqua was approached by Badger with the purpose of Racket wanting to have a meeting with Officers that Badger knew notoriously took risks. Aqua attended the meeting with Badger, Crypt and two other unknown clone officers. Aqua was there for the entire meeting and pointed out that if they went ahead with Racket's plan that it would be treasonous with Racket replying "It would only be treasonous if we failed...", which made Aqua very uncomfortable in being in the room with the others. Aqua was dumbfounded by what they were going to do and left the meeting with haste knowing what he had to do.

Aqua went immediately to Rico whom he caught talking to himself, but the Commander played it off saying that sometimes getting his thoughts into the air helped him develop them. Aqua then said that Rico might need to be using that strategy very soon and then informed him about what Racket, Badger, Crypt and the others were planning. Aqua then said that he was on Rico's side since he was telling him this but he could understand several of the points that Racket brought up.

A short time after Clocker was mortally wounded and Badger was captured, Aqua walked in on Rico in the medical bay watching over Clocker and informed him that Phantom with the rest of Ghost Unit was in orbit of Kashyyyk. He continued saying that Kashyyyk was essentially lost with only Tuff and Kipper's stronghold remaining. He went on saying that Tuff got off the planet and was planning with Phantom. He continued by saying that since the stronghold was quite a distance away from a proper landing zone that the plan was to have Ghost Unit land a distance away and fight their way to Kipper's location and that they just needed Rico's go ahead to do so. Aqua was told that Tuff, Phantom, and Ghost Unit had the go ahead that no unnecessary officers were to be involved in the ground assault with the exceptions of Phantom, Eugene, and Whipper which were to join the extraction force and Tuff was to be on the bridge of the ship micro managing units. A day or two later he interrupted a conversation between Rico and 55 saying that he should go and see Clocker. Clocker later then interrupted Rico's moments of self thought to say he was sorry about Clocker and that almost all the leaders had arrived but they were still waiting for some officers to arrive from their respective positions. He was told that it was no rush ant to make sure they all got there safely. He continued with, "Additionally sir, it appears that Racket's attack on Coruscant will be happening shortly." He was then told by Rico to send a message to Racket saying 'Good Luck.' Later the following day he attended a meeting with the rest of the high ranking officers where they were all told by Rico that the RBCW would be ending today and for them and their men to all take the next day or two off in memory of Clocker before telling them tat if the Empire attacked that they should resist but that they wouldn't be doing any attacks themselves.

## Post-Rico's Brigade Civil War

Around the end of the Civil War Aqua was present at a gathering where every person of importance from Rico's Brigade was in attendance. However it was interrupted by Echo who came warning them that the Empire was coming with a new super weapon.

A few weeks later Aqua was called in by Rico for a special assignment, since Rico wanted Aqua back in the game. Rico tasked Aqua with leading a special squad to rescue Delta Squad. The squad he was to lead was Sub Squad which was made up of the best soldiers from each legion. Rico then listed off the names of each member of the squad, Mapes, Nano, Red-Eye, Intee, and Quarantine; to Aqua. Aqua accepted to role and said he's start planning for the Op immediately. A day or two later he ran into Commander Wolffe and Captain Rex by chance where they conversed for a bit before Aqua had to leave to meet his new squad it was during this meeting that he also found out that Mental had been captured.

Later he met his squad where he thanked all 5 troopers for leaving their respective legions for this op. It was also now that he explained to them who they would be rescuing. He told them that he had spies on the lookout trying to find which cell the prisoners where being held in and that the moment they found out they'd be going in.

A few days after Commander Cody and Commander Fox's captures Aqua and Sub Squad were given the green light to go in and rescue the prisoners who were still in the prison. Aqua then told his squad that should all go to plan that there will be no casualties but if things hit the fan and men start dropping that they'll have to leave the wounded behind since they won't have the time to drag the injured to safety.

Upon arrival at the prison facility Aqua had Sub Squad wait outside while he snuck in he had studied the layout of the prison and learnt the guard rotations by heart. Aqua managed to quickly and quietly make his way through the prison to the cell by using air-ducts and cleared hallways. He and the prisoners were ready to leave but Aqua knew getting in alone was hard enough but getting everyone out would be damn near impossible and he was afraid bodies would fall. Everything was going well at first for Aqua except for Sub Squad being wiped out to a single man. However Aqua's luck wouldn't last; just as the group as Whipper was hit and mortally wounded. They quickly cleared the rest of the prison and Aqua going against his own words took the time to get Whipper to the LAAT gunship that they used to escape.

Upon Aqua's return to base he reported to Rico for debriefing where he informed Rico about Sub Squad's near complete annihilation and Whipper's mortal injuries which put him in critical condition. Rico saying that Ghost Unit would want to say goodbye to one of their commanders and the fact that Ghost unit was now priority number 1 meant that Aqua volunteered to run point and take Rico's personal unit to extract the besieged Ghost Unit so that they could say goodbye to Whipper.

Aqua and his men regrouped with the remnant of Ghost unit and helped repel another assault by Grand Moff Tarkin's forces however during the battle Aqua was knocked down by an explosion from an Imperial ATST and was wounded but the forces he brought helped win the day.

At Whipper's funeral, Aqua felt a longing for action and asked Rico if he could join Ghost Squad to which Rico said yes.

Sometime later, Aqua was dispatched with the rest of Ghost Unit to try and find the location of the prison where Commander Racket, Admiral Roman, and the Vagabond. The battle went poorly and the retreat was called due to most of the units on the field being wiped out, however Aqua made it out with fellow Ghost unit Leaders, Phantom and Eugene. The following day he was stood beside Phantom as he gave a speech to the rest of Ghost Unit to raise moral which worked.

Afterwards Aqua was temporarily reassigned to keep an eye on Rico while Doctor Shlethan and the clone Medic Lucky tried to figure out what was wrong but Rico escaped while Aqua was taking a nap and getting a bite to eat.

At this time Aqua is still with Ghost Unit and is awaiting assignments.
