**Trebuchet Battalion,** officially named the "52nd Attack Battalion"  is a Grand Army of the Republic battalion under the 501st Legion, and of the famed Task Group Dorn within the Open Circle Fleet. Under the leadership of Commander Pandora and General Ramt'ii, the Battalion consists of highly flexible personnel, organized into 4 different military companies, Aurek, Besh, Cresh, and Zerek, and possibly other armed forces, usually those with previous Special Ops experience. Trebuchet Battalion is the leading attack force for many military engagements by 501st Legion, right behind Torrent Company led by Captain Rex.

## Battle of Geonosis

### Zero Hour.

Trebuchet Battalion's beginnings all started during the Battle of Geonosis and onset of the intergalactic Clone Wars. Organized under the 501st Legion, Trebuchet was deployed on Geonosis with orders of taking ground and establishing a safe landing zone for further Republic forces to make their way on ground. Trebuchet succeeded despite the casualties taken, and established "Point Cattle." A safe landing zone for Republic forces to meet supply ships and reinforcements.

### Prolonged Bloodshed.

With their directives, Trebuchet Battalion were ordered to destroy the *"Hadiss."* a Separatist Core Ship preparing to take off and destroy over half of the Republic Starfleet in orbit. Trebuchet moved in with ferocity, angered from their previous engagement and engaged Geonosians and Separatist Battle Droids head on. Blowing them to smithereens and breaking them apart. After clearing the way, SPHAs were activated and it destroyed the *Hadiss* just as it was taking off, creating a large sandstorm in the wake of its destruction.

## Battle of Kamino

With information gathered from the Jedi spy network, word came to the Republic that the Separatists were planning an all out invasion on Kamino, largely regarded as the Clone homeworld. With the cloning facilities under threat the 501st Legion & elements of the 212th Attack Battalion were immediately recalled from Operations in the Outer-Rim. Having knowledge of the attack prior, Trebuchet had ample time to prepare a solid defense & did so efficiently before the first Confederate transports landed across Tipoca City. Regardless, Trebuchet's troops were outmanned & outgunned by the Separatist Battle Droids that stormed the landing platforms. Fighting tooth & nail, Aurek Company's infantry was cut off & backed into the facilities fighting in close-quarters with some Clone Troops even going hand-to-hand with the Battle Droids.

After Trebuchet regrouped, they were boxed in alongside a handful of Mandalorian instructors & medical personnel inside the Clone DNA Chambers. The Separatists blasted through the doors & heavy fighting began with the 501st being pushed to the limit. With the fighting intense and the outlook bleak, Trebuchet managed to only pull through due to the arrival of the ARC Troopers released from Kamino's cryo bays.
