SF-4812 "Leaf"

#### Christophsis:

Leaf was born and raised on Kamino. He was from one of the earlier batches and first saw combat on Christophsis, where he fought Separatists as a part of Enigma Battalion. He performed decently in combat, but did not excel. He saw several of his brothers die during those bloody days, but he stayed strong and he fought for the Republic. Leaf was something of a literal enigma back then. He didn't really interact outside of the battles because he was still getting used to it all. Once the Christophsis deployment was nearing its end, Leaf withdrew back to the Battalion's Venator, the Victorious. Leaf seemed reclusive, but in reality, he just wasn't very active.

#### Harton:

Leaf did not play a major role in the Harton Campaign. He went on several side missions and fought where he was needed, but Leaf just wasn't very important yet. He fought well though, which did not go unnoticed by his higher-ups. Leaf didn't have enough experience to be promoted, but Phantom Squad was going to need a corporal, sooner or later.

#### Arka'sas:

Leaf also did not play a major role here. Leaf spent most of his time patrolling around base camp, not seeing any actual conflict. This certainly pushed his promotion back, but Phantom Squad just wasn't playing a major role at this time. This was unfortunate for Leaf, who is quite ambitious. Leaf was still a trooper, under the current Sergeant of Phantom Squad, an ARF trooper named "Bomber." This Sergeant was one of Leaf's best friends, despite their age difference. Unfortunately, Bomber's mental state was rapidly deteriorating. He had severe PTSD and it made things turn sour for Phantom Squad during the next deployment.

#### Fleet Week on Naboo:

Leaf became much more active during the events of Fleet Week. Calvara, a Separatist officer, had been harrying Enigma Battalion for quite some time. For most of the week, Leaf's comrades were partying and getting drunk, but Leaf followed protocol. In fact, he was one of the few troopers who didn't get involved in a relationship. Towards the end of Fleet Week, a terrible storm ripped through Theed, causing several troopers to go missing and others to be trapped inside. During these events, Calvara searched for a clone Sergeant, Dakota, in Theed's hangar. Instead of finding Dakota, he found a large force of clone soldiers who held him off until the Jedi could arrive. Calvara, however, was tricky and detonated the roof of the hangar. Leaf was actually here during the action and helped battle Calvara. Unfortunately, Calvara battled and captured Egathon, using him to get away and leading Enigma and Leaf to their next deployment.

#### Obrux:

On Obrux, Leaf finally found what he was looking for. Recognition. However, Obrux also made him lose one of his best friends. Bomber. Bomber went through a series of events that Leaf was unable to follow, but it involved Bomber's arrest for treason. The 596th stole Bomber away and reportedly did terrible things to him. On Obrux, Leaf was also noted for his initiative in unpacking the Victorious for the Obrux deployment. They met riots and sand monsters, but the Battalion prevailed. Leaf himself actually was commed by one Frost, who had been attacked by a vicious beast. Leaf and another trooper went out to help Frost and luckily were able to save him, but more reinforcements were needed to save the day. Leaf was actually also captured by the creature and wounded to some small extent. Leaf missed the retrieval of Egathon, but he had recovered by the time the Victorious left.

#### A Victorious Promotion:

With Bomber gone, the duty of leading Phantom Squad fell to Sergeant Geyser, a trusted friend of Bomber. Due to the fact that Phantom still had no corporal, Leaf was promoted while aboard the Victorious. His hard work and dedication had paid off. Leaf was no longer a trooper! However, this sudden joy was suppressed by the lack of Bomber. Without Bomber, things still just weren't the same.

#### The Lost Artifact on Tofaz:

Leaf was unable to attend the battle on Tofaz to find Sol Company, unfortunately. He was left on the Victorious while his brothers fought. Luckily, none of his good friends died, but it was still disconcerting to hear about the battle with the zombies.

#### Coruscant:

The Victorious went back to Coruscant again, but this time, not for an execution. The Battalion was there to check out a scientific breakthrough with the Zillo Beast. Leaf stayed on the Victorious because he had never really liked the sprawling ecumenopolis of Coruscant. However, on Coruscant, the Zillo Beast broke free and Enigma Battalion was forced to help kill it. Unfortunately, it is believed that that Zillo Beast was the last of its kind. Cloning efforts were to be made, but so far, no news has come of any success.

#### Visit to Ilum:

The Victorious soon departed Coruscant after the Zillo Beast was defeated, where General Masei and her Padawan, Egathon, travelled to the Jedi Temple. Leaf wasn't there because he figured to let Jedi be Jedi and have their business be their own.

#### The Rebels of Phatrong:

Enigma Battalion was then called in by some rebels to help fight at Phatrong. There was a heavy Separatist presence on the planet, so Enigma needed to be at full strength. Bomber was returned, although he was very, *very* different. He was stiff and formal, not at all like the old Bomber. Strangely, he also had a certain clicking noise that came from his chest when he exerted himself. It was so strange... However, it soon became apparent that Leaf and Bomber weren't friends any more. It was unfortunate for Leaf and it hurt him. Leaf had always been something of a joker, always lighthearted, but this was beginning to change. Then, Captain Evo requested for a few soldiers to come with him on a mission. Leaf went on the mission with the Captain and they travelled for some time to get to a village. It was small, but rebel reports told the group that the buildings were full of battle droids. The group blindly fired upon the village, not knowing that there were villagers inside, not droids. The group ended up slaughtering almost the entire village. Leaf then swore himself to silence for 30 days. He never broke it. When he and the others got back, Leaf started learning about engineering. He repaired a couple of old pit droids who now do most of the talking for him. The Seeds are numbered one through five and have been modified to carry small blasters. During this lull in the fighting, Bomber was sent away *again*. Bomber went missing on Ryloth and has not been found yet. Leaf's next mission was in assisting the battalion in seizing a Separatist base. The battalion succeeded thanks to some of Leaf's most impressive rocket launcher antics. His actions were noticed by the Captain of Tarantula Company, Evo himself. Leaf was soon promoted after the battle and given command of Fortune Squad. Leaf has been a dedicated squadleader and sergeant. He was also transferred to Thermite Company.
