Lieutenant CT-0929 "Arrowhead"

"*I'm not asking you to do this for some Senators in some far-off planet. I'm*

*asking you to do this for your brothers, who are standing right here. Look*

*around you. Those people are the ones who will stand next to you, fight next*

*to you, and they will die for you. Don't let them down."*

Lieutenant Arrowhead (CT-0929) Was a human clone of Jango Fett.

He served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars,

and was promoted from Sergeant to Lieutenant after the Battle of Geonosis.

**Biography**

CT-0929 was bred as a soldier on Kamino, and trained as a soldier in the Grand Army of the Republic.

He got the nickname Arrowhead from his fellow clones teasing him about his interest in ancient artifacts and weapons.The leaders of the army saw leadership potential in him, and before leaving Kamino he was a Sergeant in the 457th Legion.

**Battle of Geonosis and promotion**

Upon arriving at Geonosis, his nine-trooper squad was assigned to make an incursion into the catacombs of Geonosis and eliminate enemy fighters before takeoff. His squad planted thermal detonators on the fighters and attempted to leave the room. However, the Geonosian pilots entered the room as the clones tried to leave. Two of his squadron were killed when the Geonosians opened fire, while the rest took cover behind supply crates. He contacted the rest of the army for assistance, but all other Clones were in action, and could not help. Moving towards the exit, staying under cover, he and his squad made a move to break out. It was repulsed by the Geonosians, and he lost two more troopers. With the Clones pinned down, some Geonosians attempted to enter the fighters for takeoff. Arrowhead detonated the thermal detonators and took cover. The explosion killed all of the Geonosians, and destroyed the fighters. Arrowhead and his squad left the catacombs, and Arrowhead was promoted to Lieutenant for his actions, making him the commander of forty Clones.

**Ryloth**

Arrowhead soon made friends with another Clone Lieutenant, Typhoon. The two were assigned together under the command of Captain Tripwire. Their first assignment together was on the planet Ryloth. After the Separatist fleet was destroyed, the Gunships were sent down. Arrowhead and Typhoon were sent to meet up with each other's forces, and then move through a heavily guarded canyon, take out a droid fort, and rendezvous with Tripwire's other forces. However, things quickly went awry. Arrowhead's gunships were intercepted, and all were shot down, leaving the remaining Clones to evacuate. Attempting to communicate with his pilot, Arrowhead got no response. Opening the doors to the cockpit, he found both pilots dead. Ordering his troops to jump or jet out of the stricken ship, he waited until they were all gone before leaping himself. Upon landing, he found that he only had twenty-one men surviving. Typhoon's forces did not do much better, with twenty-six surviving troops. Linking up, the Cones surveyed the fort. It was a wall, stretching from one side of the canyon to the other. It was filled with repeating blasters and heavy cannons, but the biggest guns were stationed on three towers rising above the rest of the fort, with large amounts of anti-air as well. There was one other way through the canyon, a cave system rigged with traps and ambushes. Arrowhead and Typhoon had managed to land two AT-TE's for the assault. Typhoon, however, had a solution. He suggested using the Gunship doors as parapets to cover the advancing Clones, while the AT-TE's and Jump Troopers provided cover for them. Arrowhead agreed. It was their best shot. They moved forward, with AT-TE's helping shield their troops. The Separatist fire was devastating, and they lost fourteen troops in the attack. They did, however, reach the base of the wall, and Jump Troopers, led by Arrowhead, took the towers, while Typhoon's troops used ascension cables to climb the wall. Turning the massive guns on the fort, Arrowhead's troops managed to eliminate the Repeating Blaster positions, securing Typhoon's advance. The fort fell quickly, but it cost both squads dearly. Of the eighty-two troops that set out, thirty-one remained.

They met up with Tripwire's forces soon after, and moved on an airfield. Radioing to the Venators overhead, they called in an orbital bombardment to eliminate Separatist droids. After eliminating forward positions, the Cruisers stopped firing. There were citizens being held captive at the airfield. It would have to be taken by troops. Arrowhead met up with Sergeant Cob's squadron, and divided his and Cob's Jump Troopers to attack. Flying above the defenses, the Jump troopers released droid poppers, and flew down to mop up. As the Clones celebrated the capture of the base, Cob was shot in the back by previously hidden Droidekas, which wreaked havoc on the Clones. Arrowhead Used the last of his jetpack fuel to propel him upwards, roll behind the Droidekas, and roll droid poppers through their shields. With the news of the capture of the Capital of Ryloth, Arrowhead's squadron harassed evacuating droids.

**Capture on Teth**

Arrowhead then went with two troopers, Dice and Jaws, to reconnoiter Teth, where the Separatists had newly established a base. They were, however, caught, and Jaws was killed in a firefight with Commando Droids. Arrowhead and Dice were brought to the base, converted monastery, and placed in a closet, as the new base had no prison cells. However, the back wall was thin, and the Clones broke through. Behind the wall was the arsenal, and they reclaimed their armor, weapons, and jetpacks. They also took two boxes of thermal detonators, which they placed throughout the base before leaving. As they left, they exited through the bridge leading out if the monastery. The Separatists had placed a large number of droids here, and the Clones took cover. Droid tanks fired on the bridge, which fell. Both Clones attempted to rocket away, but Dice's jetpack was shot, leaving Arrowhead to hold him up. Realizing that Arrowhead's jetpack could not hold them both, Dice let go of him, falling.

*Arrowhead-"I'm not letting you go."*

*Dice-(before falling) "I'm sorry commander, but you can't hold both of us. This is my duty."*

As Dice fell, he activated the thermal detonators, and fell into the inferno. Arrowhead returned to headquarters with the information that he had.

**Cato Nemodia**

Arrowhead and the 457th Legion were sent to other battles, including Cato Nemodia and Anaxes. On Cato Nemodia he led the troopers under his command on an ambush on Separatist forces crossing a bridge. While his troopers planted explosives, Arrowhead and other Clones equipped with Jetpacks led a diversionary assault on the Separatists on the bridge. The bridge was destroyed and the mission succeeded.

On the way back to the rest of the 457th, Arrowhead and his troopers found Captain Tripwire attempting to escort a wounded Captain Telephone off of the battlefield. Arrowhead and his Clones landed and covered for Tripwire, who successfully escorted Telephone away from the battlefield. Arrowhead was shot twice in the process, and was out of action for a month.

**Anaxes**

Arrowhead-*"Advance"*

Clone-*"But sir! They outnumber us three to one!"*

Arrowhead-*"Good. More for us to kill."*

When the 457th was deployed to Anaxes, Arrowhead was tasked with dislodging Separatist troops from a durasteel factory, which was critical to Republic efforts on Anaxes. However, some of the droids were diverted to stop a Republic raid on a comm station. Moving inside the factory, Arrowhead split his troops to flank a group of Commando droids that held out in the control room. The first group attempted an attack from the East side, but was repulsed. Their objective was successful, because the droids had moved troops to the East side of the room. Arrowhead then ordered his troops on the West side to attack, and led his jump troopers through the roof of the factory, capturing the control room. From there they searched through the comm records, and found that a large number of droids were heading to their current position. With some Clones wounded and unable to travel, Arrowhead decided to stage a defense with the remaining thirty-two troops under his command. He decided to stage an ambush as the droids entered the factory. When the droids came, they found an empty room. As they fanned out into the corridors to search, Arrowhead sprung his trap, and the smaller groups of droids were ambushed by Clones hiding in ventilator shafts. The Tactical Droid leading the assault decided to gas the entire facility, forcing the Clones to the roof to be dealt with by Vulture Droids. His ploy worked, and the Clones were driven to the roof. As droids came up through the hatches, they were destroyed one by one. Vulture Droids arrived to deal with the Clones, but Arrowhead and his remaining Jump Troopers flew up to the level of the droids, disabling or hacking them. One of Arrowhead's troopers flew a hacked Vulture Droid into the control room, destroying it and the remaining droids. The victory was short lived, however, as Wat Tambor, having survived an assassination attempt, led his droids to recapture the factory. Heavily outnumbered, Republic Gunships finally arrived, taking Arrowhead and his beleaguered troops to safety.

Wounded in the fighting, Arrowhead was sent back to Kamino for replacing of his forearm, nearly blown off during the retreat. In Kamino, he overheard two Kaminoans discussing Clone Biochips. Curious, he stole data files from Lama Su, the Kaminoan Prime Minister, that confirmed his fears about the biochips. He then secretly removed his before being sent back to the battlefront.

**Lothal and Order 66**

In the Outer Rim Sieges Arrowhead and many others of the 457th were deployed to Lothal, where the Separatists had fortified as a refuge for their leaders if the war went badly. Tactical droid TX-89 "Hydra" was sent to oversee construction of ion cannons and anti-air defenses. When Arrowhead and his troops arrived in an Acclimator-class assault ship, the Comet. The only ion cannon ready on Lothal opened fire. The Gunships and fighters were quickly deployed before the Comet was hit and all power failed. As the Gunships and fighters entered the atmosphere, Vulture Droids intercepted them. Nearly one-third of the Gunships were lost. Arrowhead and his Jump Troopers spotted their first objective, a factory churning out B-2 Super Battle Droids. The factory opened fire on the Jump Troopers, but the anti-air guns were meant to target fighters, and were not quick enough to hit the Jump Troopers, who managed to destroy them. Arrowhead and his troops forced the Droids back into the factory, where the droids prepared a formidable defense. Arrowhead, however, called in a Y-Wing squadron to destroy the factory, with the anti-air disabled. The factory was destroyed.

Next, the Jump Troopers were sent to disable the Ion cannons, which by the time the Clones arrived, had three operational. Arrowhead and his troops eliminated the sentries and planted explosives on the Ion cannons. Before they destroyed the cannons, a fleet of Separatist ships arrived to rendezvous with Hydra and his forces. Arrowhead, seeing an opportunity, hijacked the cannons and opened fire on the Separatist fleet, eliminating two ships. The fleet returned fire, and Arrowhead and his Clones hid in a transport to avoid the blasts. However, the transport was brought up to the flagship, the Massacre, with all other transports on Lothal, which the Separatist were evacuating. With the Clones aboard, the fleet jumped into hyperspace, and after several jumps, arrived at Coruscant, where the Separatists were attacking. Joining forces with ARF Trooper Bandit's troops, which also stowed away, and headed for the bridge of the ship. They found it empty, and set the ship for self-destruct. However, Hydra had found the Clones, and sprung a trap on them, surrounding them on the bridge. Arrowhead sent a message through his helmet, telling the other Clones to use their boots magnetic grips on the floor. Then he threw a chair at the bridge window, sucking Hydra's forces into space. Hydra, however, activated the atmospheric seal on the window, and engaged Arrowhead in single combat. In the middle of the battle, the Massacre's engines were hit, and it began to fall towards Coruscant. With the self-destruct clock ticking down, Arrowhead managed to electrocute Hydra, shutting him down. His and Bandit's troops took the escape pods, and flew to a nearby Republic Cruiser. They met up with Jedi general Jacen Vicrul, and Clone Captains Telephone and Tripwire. They watched the Spearatist retreat from Coruscant. Before the Cruiser was deployed, however, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine initiated Order 66. Bandit and other Clones fired on Jacen Vicrul, hitting his lightsaber. Arrowhead fired at Bandit, hitting him in the chest and killing him instantly. However, He, Tripwire, and Telephone were outnumbered, and retreated. While Arrowhead covered their exit in the escape pods, Telephone, Tripwire, and Jacen left the ship. Arrowhead managed to reach the hanger, and hid himself from the Clones hunting him amid a group of Jump Troopers. He then stole a shuttle and left the Cruiser.

**Rendezvous on Nal Hutta**

Arrowhead arrived on Nal Hutta, where he lived as a gun-for hire for two months. With the members of the 457th who removed their Inhibitor Chips scattered across the Galaxy, Arrowhead paid for access to Borga the Hutt's communication tower, and sent a message to the other members of the 457th on a secret frequency, saying that they needed to meet up on Nal Hutta. The others, including Tripwire, Telephone, and Jacen, met up on Nal Hutta, where they pooled their credits to buy a ship. They bought a hanger and decided to form a smuggling crew.
