CT-9152

## Personality Traits

CT-9152 is a trooper who cares deeply for his brother, like many clones. He cares for his commanding officers and has great respect for them, believing it is good commanders that win a war. He is a person who looks for more direct solutions for a situation but a bit obsessed with planning ahead. As the war has dragged on however, he has learned to accept that not everything can be planned for.

## Aurek Life

CT-9152, later known as "Sparkplug" was deployed to Trebuchet battalion in 21 BBY directly from Kamino, just a day before the destruction of the Malevolence. He was an Assault trooper until he was promoted to Corporal at which point he was given the role of Auto-rifleman. He had some degree of respect for 2LT "Slicer" but never got to know him much. Now he holds a deeper respect for 2LT "Tact" as he has seen him more often.

## Relationships

Sparkplug has known many troopers during his time in Trebuchet, now Vanguard, battalion but he believes himself friends with  Tact, Guts, and Drum. He also has great respect for, but is not sure about a friendship with, Mav and Crackerjack.

## Second Battle of Geonosis

CT-9152's first major battle was the second invasion of Geonosis. Unlike many he was not a veteran of the first campaign, only having been in the battalion for about a month at the time but nonetheless felt the wait of the invasion. He performed well but would never wish to go back ever again.

## Jabiim

The battle of Jabiim was a horrifying experience for all clones involved, mass casualties, friends, brothers, lost. But for Trebuchet the fight was especially brutal, taking so many casualties afterward that what was left of the battalion had to be disbanded and merged with other small forces to form Vangaurd battalion. CT-9152 was one of the survivors and will always try to avoid talks about it with anyone who wasn't there, recounting horrors isn't something he's looking to do. From what can be gathered in his logs he received some injuries while manning an E-WEB turret against nationalist forces. It also states in his log that he came "face to face" with a dark acolyte, however this is most likely an exaggeration of the actual events on the planet.

## Durge's Lance

General Grievous' operation Durge's Lance was a surprise attack against the Republic, resulting in the loss of multiple outer rim planets. Vanguard took part in the events of stopping Grievous and at one point during the operation the battalion came into close contact with a Dark Acolyte and Count Dooku. CT-9152 didn't do anything of great note during the operation beside simply surviving an encounter with 2 sith, and even General Grievous at the battle of Alderaan.

## Umbara

### First day

CS-9152 was deployed with Vanguard battalion to the dark planet of Umbara, his experiences there were less than fortunate. On the first day he suffered through an Umbaran artillery bombardment, stating in his log that they were "Three direct consecutive hits that landed at my F#!%ING FEET" however this is most likely another exaggeration of the actual events. After this, Vanguard battalion managed to capture an Umbaran airfield. On the second day another exaggeration can be seen in his notes as it states "And just today I hit a damn mine, thing sent me flying in the air and I still have my legs. That actually has me thinking, wonder how Guts is doing, his replacement is kind of a drag and I'd rather have Guts back than keep this guy."

### Second day

The second day held more action for the battalion, with Sparkplug being placed in charge of a fire-team during an assault on a hostile anti-air position. His team suffered no casualties and the assault was a resounding success.

### Third day

On the third day, Sparkplug didn't seem to do anything of note. According to his log the only major thing to happen was capturing an Umbaran prison camp and the proceeding attacks to recapture it.

### Fourth day

On the fourth and as it would turn out the last day, of the Umbaran campaign, CS-9152 was deployed as reinforcements from Vangaurds base and as such was not present for a large portion of the battle. By the end of the campaign he would say in his log that "After a fight like that, I don't think any of us want to ever go back. But I don't think any remaining Umbarans are gonna take this lying down."

## Transition to the Empire

By the time of the transition to the Galactic Empire, 'Sparkplug' had been made the Executive Officer of Aurek Company under CL-2152 1lt 'Tact'. After the events of Order 66, which CW-9152 was not present for and remained on the Phalanx, the Empire came. The transition was swift and quiet, CW-9152 had sometimes questioned why so called peacekeepers were leading soldiers so the transition to the Empire almost felt like all that happened was being given proper military commanders. After they were transferred from the IV-Phalanx to the ISD-Exactor, CW-9152 was sad to leave the Phalanx after having been through so much on it but was happy to get a change of scenery. CW-9152 reveals in his logs that he has taken part in at least one mission resulting in largely unethical practices but his log also states that "If it's what the Empire deems best who am I to question it?".
