## Biography

### Early Life

Samuel Adams was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia on March 18, 1961. He lived in West Virginia his entire childhood and teenage years. Samuel was raised in a family with a proud military heritage, with many veterans in his family.

After graduating high school, Adams was accepted into the United States Naval Academy. After 4 years, he graduated from the Academy in 1983 with a degree in Russian language.

During his time at the Naval Academy, he met Eliza Page. In 1983, after dating for almost a year and a half, they were married.

### US Navy Service

After graduating from the Naval Academy, Adams was commissioned as an Ensign. He quickly applied to join the SEALs. After passing the screening process, he trained for 18 months before being assigned to SEAL Team 2 in 1986.

In early 1990, after being recommended by his commanding officer and going through the qualifying tests, Adams was inducted into SEAL Team 6.

A year into his service with Team 6, Adams was deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Desert Storm, and was believed to have gone on several combat missions during the war.

### Anti-Sith Assault Team

#### Clone Wars

When the Galactic Republic arrived on Terra, the Anti-Sith Assault Team was formed in order to be able to provide quick protection for Earth against the threat of the Sith. Adams was among the 12 men chosen for the team. In their initial meeting with Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker, Adams chose a purple lightsaber, and, by the vote of the team, was elected as the ASAT team's leader.

Adams began training under Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker in the art of lightsaber combat. Adams was quickly recognized as the most talented swordsman in the team after Toshiyuki Yamazaki, and advanced quickly. Adams was privately one of Mace Windu's favorite members of the team.

##### Terran Campaign

When the Separatist attacked Earth and began the Terran campaign, Adams was stationed in New York City and given effective command of the 1st Infantry Division. Adams and the 1st, along with Captain Rex and the clones of the 501st, were stationed in the southern part of Queens to block the Separatist advance along the southern coast of Long Island.

Early in the battle, Adams was conferring with Rex on the roof of a building when Asajj Ventress sneak up behind them. Adams, telling Rex and the others with him to leave and continue the battle, ignited his lightsaber and engaged in a duel with Ventress. Their duel lasted for almost ten minutes. Their duel was briefly interrupted halfway through by the appearance of the battleships *Wisconsin* and *Iowa*. Finally, after 10 minutes, Adams was able to stop her blow and almost kick her off the roof, convincing Ventress to retreat.

After the Terran Campaign was over, Adams was promoted to the rank of Captain, following an executive order from the Terran Joint Command. At the beginning of the Terran Alliance's involvement in the Clone War, Adams was one of the members of the team which remained behind on Terra in case of another Separatist attack. Adams remained on Terra before deployment longer than any other member of the team, due in part to the birth of his first son in July 1992.

##### The Citadel

In January 1993, Adams was deployed for the first time. He traveled to Coruscant first for further training at the Jedi Temple.

On February 1, 1993, Adams was selected to help lead a strike team to rescue Jedi Master Evan Piell from the prison known as the Citadel. Adams joined Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, and several clones and members of SEAL Team 6 for the mission to the Citadel.

When they arrived on Lola Sayu, Adams realized Ahsoka Tano had snuck with them on the mission. When her master, Anakin Skywalker, grew mad at her for coming despite his orders. Adams lied to Skywalker, saying that Master Plo Koon had assigned Ahsoka to the mission at the last possible second.

Adams and the rest of the strike team were successfully able to break into the Citadel, though accidentally setting off the alarm when a clone on the team was caught in an electro mine.

The strike team made their way through the halls of the Citadel until they successfully found Master Piell. Once they freed him from his cell, they learned from him that he had only half of the coordinates for the Nexus Route, and that Captain Wilhuff Tarkin had the other half.

Adams and the rest of the team then attempted to find and free Tarkin and the other captured officers. Adams and the other SEALs successfully held off commando droids that attempted to ambush them.

Once the team found Captain Tarkin and the other captured officers, the team split into two. Adams left with Master Piell and Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as Commander Cody and a number of clones.

Adams' team quickly entered the air ducts of the Citadel in order to avoid being spotted by Separatist forces in the Citadel. However, as they attempted to make their way to a landing pad where R2-D2 would pick them up, a probe droid spotted the group. Master Piell quickly destroyed the droid. However, almost immediately, security doors began closing in the ducts, threatening to cut the group to pieces. One clone was cut in half by the closing security doors, but the rest of the team successfully made it out of the way of the closing doors.

Adams, along with Obi Wan and Piell, used their lightsabers to cut their way through the security doors. Once all the clones were freed, and the doors had been cut through, the group continued through the ducts towards the landing pad. Not seeing R2-D2, they decided to go around and come at the landing pad from the opposite direction. As they attempted to do so, the Separatist warden of the Citadel, Commander Sobeck, hacked into Obi Wan's commlink to taunt as commando droids ambushed and captured the group.

Adams, along with the rest of the group, was cuffed and lead to the control room, where Sobeck was waiting for them. Sobeck threatened Piell that if he didn't give up his half of the Nexus Route coordinates, he would begin executing his men. After Piell refused, Sobeck took a blaster and aimed it in Adams' face. Adams scoffed at him, saying he had had guns pointed in his face before, then revealed he removed his own cuffs while Sobeck was threatening Piell. Adams then grabbed Sobeck and threw him into the wall before using Sobeck's blaster to destroy all the droids in the control room. Adams then reclaimed his lightsaber and used it to free the rest of the group, and they all fled after reclaiming their weapons.

Almost immediately after leaving the control room, they encountered R2-D2 and three reprogrammed B1 battle droids under R2's command. R2 immediately led them back towards the landing pad where their stolen shuttle was ready for them.

Upon arriving at the landing pad, they discovered battle droids had arrived on the platform, and more battle droids were manning turrets overlooking the platform. The group attempted to use the reprogrammed battle droids to fool the Separatist droids and gain access to the shuttle. However, before they could, Sobeck sent a transmission to the droids on the platform alerting them to the fact that Republic-Terran team was using reprogrammed battle droids. While Adams could not hear the message, he recognized when the droids were receiving it, and immediately used his lightsaber to destroy the droid guarding the entrance to the shuttle before shifting to his assault blaster and opening fire on any droid in sight.

Adams' team quickly took cover and fought back against the battle droids on the platform. More droids arrived to reinforce the Separatists, but very shortly after, Anakin's team arrived to reinforce their comrades.

As the fight continued, Adams recognized that the turrets overlooking the platform could easily destroy the shuttle, and took two of the SEALs, Lieutenant Woods and Lieutenant Collins, to destroy the turrets. They ran to the wall and used their extension cable attachments on their assault blasters to hoist themselves up the wall.

The three then attacked the droids guarding the turrets. However, before they could reach the turrets, a commando droid manned a previously unmanned turret and attempted to fire on the shuttle. ARC trooper Echo attempted use a ray shield to protect the shuttle, but the third SEAL, Lieutenant Peterson, shoved Echo out of the way as the turret fired on the shuttle. The explosion sent Echo flying and killed Peterson.

Adams and the other two SEALs saw the explosion and Peterson lying dead on the ground, and angrily attacked the turrets, destroying them with grenade launchers. Adams and the two SEALs then raced to Peterson's side in hopes he might still be alive, but realized that he was dead. The two SEALs carried Peterson's body away from the landing zone, while Adams covered their retreat.

Once the team had reached a safe area, Adams insisted that they hold a burial for Peterson. Adams and Obi Wan built a cairn of rocks over Peterson's body, placing an American flag over the cairn. Adams, along with Collins and Woods, gathered Cody, Rex, Fives, and Echo to perform a 21 gun salute for Peterson, and Adams, using a recording device on which he already had the song recorded, played "Taps". The team then moved on in an attempt to find another escape route.

Adams and the rest of the team attempted to make their way to an extraction point given to them by the Jedi Council. However, they were soon ambushed by B1 battle droids and crab droids. R2's reprogrammed B1 droids fought back and bought the team enough time to escape.

While making their way to the extraction point, Adams, frustrated, finally got into an a very brief argument with Captain Tarkin after Tarkin again expressed disdain for the Jedi Order.

Almost immediately after this, a pack of anoobas set loose by Sobeck found the team and attacked. The team split up to set an ambush for the anoobas, while Piell and Ahsoka took care of approaching crab droids. Adams and his men helped Anakin and Obi Wan, as well as the clones, fight off the anoobas and commando droids on STAAPs. However, Piell was killed by an anooba during the battle. Adams again led a 21 gun salute, this time for the Jedi Master, and again played Taps.

When the team reached the extraction point, they were attacked by Sobeck and commando droids flying on STAAPs. Adams helped to fight off the commando droids. When Sobeck landed and attempted to kill Tarkin to prevent the Republic from getting his half of the Nexus Route coordinates, Adams came up behind him and shot him in the back of the head, killing him. and saving Tarkin.

Only a moment later, Adams' comrade, Colonel Stasevich, arrived in an LAAT, and picked up the team. The LAAT then returned to the battleship *Volgograd*, which had arrived to recover the team, and the ship jumped back to hyperspace.

After arriving back on Coruscant, Adams was taken to the Jedi Temple with the other Jedi, Tarkin, and his two remaining SEALs. There, Tarkin informed them that Chancellor Palpatine has ordered him to bring his half of the coordinates directly to him, while Ahsoka, who now had Piell's half of the coordinates, had promised Piell not to share them with anyone but the Jedi Council. Suspicious, Adams ordered Collins to send a message to the American command JSOC to let them know his suspicion about Palpatine.

##### Battle of Mon Cala

After the incident on Lola Sayu, Adams remained on Coruscant at the Jedi Temple, continuing to train and waiting for his next deployment.

In late March of 1993, Adams received orders to accompany Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme Amidala to Mon Cala in order to help the Mon Calamari and Quarren settle a dispute that had arisen after the murder of the Mon Calamari king Yos Kolina.

Upon arriving, it was clear that the Quarren, along with Separatist representative Riff Tamson, were not at all willing to accept Kolina's son, Lee-Char, as king. Adams and Skywalker, along with Amidala and the Mon Calamari Captain Ackbar, sent a warning to Master Yoda, who promised to send reinforcements.

Within hours of this conversation, during a speech being given by Lee-Char, the Quarren and Riff Tamson attacked along with Separatist aqua droids. Adams immediately joined the battle, using his M4 assault blaster to fire at the droids and Quarren.

Adams remained close by Lee-Char's side in order to protect the prince. Very soon after the battle began, Lee-Char decided to try and sneak some troops behind enemy lines, and Adams accompanied him and the others. However, falling debris from a destroyed building ruined their plan.

Soon after this, Kit Fisto and Ahsoka Tano arrived with clones and 32 men from SEAL Team 1. Adams and Ahsoka were quickly tasked with protecting Lee-Char. Almost immediately, Riff Tamson attempted to attack and kill Lee-Char. Adams blocked his path and used an HK P11 underwater pistol to fend off Tamson. Ahsoka then used a Mon Cala mini sub to get her, Adams, and Lee-Char to safety. Tamson attempted to follow, but Adams, using his fists and his P11 underwater pistol, successfully wounded Tamson and gave them enough time to escape.

After the initial battle was over, Adams accompanied the prince and Ahsoka back to the rest of the leadership. As they attempted to discuss what to do against the Quarren, Hydroid Medusas brought by Tamson began to appear in the city. Adams called in the attack submarine *USS Louisville,* which had been brought to Mon Cala at the start of the crisis, to attack the creatures. The submarine was able to kill 8 of them, but was eventually forced to retreat. At the same time, aqua droids renewed their attack. Adams, along with Kit Fisto and Skywalker, led the defenders as they fought back, but they were eventually overpowered. Adams was one of a number of individuals that were able to escape from the city and take shelter in the coral caves below the city.

Adams and the rest of the leadership attempted to contact the Jedi Temple, but their transmission was cut off before Yoda could promise that help would be coming. Adams participated in a debate about what to do next, and favored attempting to find and escape to safety on *Louisville*, but the decision was taken to attempt to escape the planet completely on the ship that brought Adams, Skywalker, and Amidala to Mon Cala. Unfortunately, the ship had been discovered by the Separatists, and was destroyed just as the team got within sight of it.

Recognizing they were trapped on Mon Cala, Anakin ordered that they split up. Adams and Ahsoka took Kit Fisto, Lee-Char, and the clones. They made their way back to the coral under the city and took shelter in a cave.

Adams attempted to contact the *Louisville*, but received no answer. Almost immediately after his call, he and the others spotted the Quarren and aqua droids leading the captured Mon Calamari and clones to a prison camp. Adams, Ahsoka, and Kit knew they had to say hidden. However, Lee-Char believed he needed to inspire his people, and showed himself while blowing a conch to signal to all the Mon Calamari he was still alive.

Adams, along with the rest of the group, immediately moved to protect the prince from aqua droids. However, at almost the same time, the Gungan Grand Army arrived on Mon Cala. With the aid of the Gungans, the Mon Calamari began to break free and fight back.

However, Separatist *Trident* class assault craft quickly arrived on the scene. The craft began to spin in the water to create whirlpools in order to disrupt the Mon Calamari and Republic forces.

As the assault craft began spinning, Tamson emerged from one of them in order to kill the Lee-Char. Adams, still keeping close to the prince, moved to block Tamson and stopped him with a punch to the stomach. Tamson tried to attack Adams, but Adams got under his guard and grabbed Tamson by the throat, attempting to strangle him.

Tamson managed to punch Adams, causing Adams to loosen his grip enough for Tamosn to pry Adams' hands off. Adams quickly ignited his lightsaber, and attempted to attack Tamson. Tamson struck Adams a strong blow, but Kit Fisto swam forward to take Adams' place.

Fisto quickly realized that the situation had turned, and ordered Ahsoka and Adams to get Lee-Char away. Adams and Ahsoka used extension cables to haul themselves to the bottom, and then escape the whirlpool being generated by the assault craft. The two then led Lee-Char back below the city to hide.

Adams led the other two carefully through and around the city, keeping out of sight. Eventually, Lee-Char proposed breaking into the prison camp in order to find Captain Ackbar and recruit him to lead a counterattack.

Adams and Ahsoka escorted the prince down to the prison camp, and the three were able to sneak into the camp. After comforting some of the Mon Calamari, and assuring them they would soon be free, Lee-Char and his two protectors were led to Ackbar. Lee-Char informed Ackbar of his plan to convince the Quarren to join them, and that when the time came, Ackbar would need to lead.

Aqua droids quickly located them, and took the prince and his two protectors into custody. The three were brought before Tamson. When Lee-Char attempted to get through to Nossor Ri, the leader of the Quarren, Tamson expressed disdain and exasperation. Adams insulted Tamson over it, and the two made several threats against the other's life. Eventually, Tamson ordered that the three be taken away, and that his forces prepare for Lee-Char's execution. Adams told Ahsoka he could get out of the cuffs he was wearing, but Ahsoka told him to wait.

Adamd and Ahsoka were brought to the site where Lee-Char was to be executed. When they brought to the site, Skywalker, Amidala, Fisto, and Jar Jar Binks were placed next to Ahsoka and Adams, who reassured them that all was going according to plan.

As Tamson's soldiers were preparing to execute Lee-Char, Nossor Ri openly turned against Tamson and rescued the prince, ordering the Quarren to attack. At this signal, Adams escaped from his binders, removed his lightsaber from inside his jacket where he had hidden it, and ignited it, using it to cut Fisto free as Ahsoka did the same with Skywalker. Adams lent his lightsaber to Fisto, switching over to his blaster pistols.

Adams led the SEALs into battle against the aqua droids. Within minutes, they received reinforcements in the form of two United States Marine Corps battalions. With the reinforcements, the Republic and Mon Cala forces quickly defeated the droids, and Lee-Char killed Tamson.

Adams remained on Mon Cala for several days after the battle ended, remaining to see the coronation of Lee-Char. Three days after the battle, Adams left Mon Cala for Coruscant.

##### Mission to Mandalore

Immediately after the Battle of Mon Cala, Adams briefly returned to Terra, where he spent the next four months. In late July, he was ordered back to the Andromeda Galaxy.

In mid August, Adams was stationed on Coruscant. On September 25, Adams accompanied Obi Wan Kenobi to a briefing with Ki Adi Mundi and Yoda, where they watched a message sent by Duchess Satine of Mandalore, informing them she had lost Mandalore and requesting Kenobi's help. Kenobi argued in favor of sending help, but Ki Adi Mundi and Yoda were reluctant to do so unless the Senate voted to do so. Adams promised he would be informing the Terran Joint Command, and that the Terran Alliance would likely take action, something that concerned Ki Adi Mundi. Adams then went to Kenobi and promised to go with him to Mandalore.

Kenobi borrowed the *Twilight* from Skywalker, and he and Adams set off for Mandalore. When they arrived on the planet, Kenobi, wearing a disguise, lured one of Darth Maul's Mandalorian warriors onto the ship, and Adams stunned him with his blaster. Adams remained on the ship while Obi Wan, wearing the warrior's armor, went to free Satine.

When Obi Wan and Satine returned, Adams laid down cover fire to hold off pursuing Mandalorians loyal to Darth Maul before following them onto the ship. However, before the ship could get away, it was hit by two rockets fired by Maul's warriors. Adams grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the ship, parachuting down to the planet's surface. A Mandalorian loyal to Maul, having seen Adams and not sure what he was, decided to investigate. Using an SR-25 marksman rifle, Adams killed the warrior and donned his armor as a disguise.

Adams flew back up to the landing pad. There, he met Bo-Katan Kryze and some of her warriors, and allied with them. Kryze led Adams and her warriors through the city, landing near the prison. When some of Maul's warriors brought Kenobi to the prison, Adams killed three of them with his SR-25, and Kryze killed the last two.

Adams, Kryze, and the loyalist Mandalorians freed Kenobi from his bonds, and, after giving Kenobi a jetpack to use, led him back towards the shipping docks. Once they reached the docks, they found both factions of Mandalorians fighting. Adams and Kenobi joined the fight on the side of the loyalists until and loyalist ship arrived and took them off the planet and back to Coruscant.

Upon reaching Coruscant, Adams contacted Terran Joint Command. The TJC immediately ordered Adams to lead a team of men from SEAL Team 6 and the Spetsnaz to Mandalore in an attempt to bring down Maul. However, they found Maul dead and both factions of Mandalorians scattered. The team successfully captured dozens of suits of Mandalorian armor from dead Mandalorians, and brought the armor back to Terra. These suits of armor would later be fixed up and used to equip the new Terran special ops unit known as the Zulu Force.

##### Jedi Temple Bombing

At the time of the Jedi Temple bombing, Adams was on his way back to the galaxy from Terra. Originally, his orders had been to travel to Cato Neimoidia to support the battle there, but was redirected to Coruscant to take the place of his fellow ASAT commando, Colonel Tyler Hall, who had been recalled to Terra due to a family emergency.

Adams was present at the funeral for the Jedi who had been killed in the bombing, and was the only member of the ASAT team able to be present for the funeral. Immediately following the funeral, Adams took part in a conversation with the now Admiral Tarkin, centered around the fate of the bombing culprit, Letta Turmond, and the role of the Jedi in the war. While agreeing with Tarkin on some points, the conversation again set them at odds, and increased Adams' suspicions of Chancellor Palpatine, which had continued to grow since the rescue mission on Lola Sayu, months earlier.

Adams, Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano were soon called up to a briefing on the progress of Kenobi's campaign. During the briefing, Admiral Tarkin contacted the Temple, informing them that Letts Turmond had requested the presence of Ahsoka. Although confused, Ahsoka agreed to go, and Adams decided to go with her.

Upon reaching the Republic military prison, Ahsoka was admitted to the cell bank while Adams remained at the entrance. After a clone heard him whistling the tune to the John Denver song "Take Me Home, Country Roads", Adams began singing the song at the clone's request. However, after the first chorus, an alarm began to sound from Turmond's cell.

Adams followed Commander Fox and two other clones to the cell, where Fox attempted to place Ahsoka under arrest. Acting quickly, Adams knocked out the two clones with blows to the head, then put Fox in a headlock and choked him into unconsciousness. He told Ahsoka to run, and that he would work with FBI investigators to try and find the true culprit.

Adams then faked that he had been knocked aside by Ahsoka in order to fool Fox and the other clones. Adams joined in the hunt for Ahsoka to stop her from getting away, though his real intention was to ensure she was not captured.

After Ahsoka was able to escape to the lower levels of Coruscant, Adams contacted General Dennis Reimer, informing him of the situation and his belief about what was going on, and asking that Reimer attempt to get United States Attorney General William Barr brought to Coruscant to represent Ahsoka should she be captured.

Adams then made his way to an office in a building near the Jedi Temple which was being used by the FBI team investigating the bombing. Adams conferred with the team about the evidence already gathered before taking a nap.

As soon as Adams woke from his nap, he was informed Ahsoka had been captured. Immediately, he set off for the Jedi Temple. He was present at the holo conference in which Admiral Tarkin demanded Ahsoka be expelled from the Jedi Order and be turned over to the Republic military for trial. Following the Jedi Council's decision to comply with the Senate's request, Adams privately conferred with Skywalker about how to proceed.

William Barr arrived on Coruscant shortly after, and Adams and Skywalker took him to meet Ahsoka and begin working on her defense with her. Once Barr had been introduced to Ahsoka, Adams and Skywalker left to track down Asajj Ventress, hoping to get answers from her.

Adams and Skywalker located Ventress on the lower levels of Coruscant. Skywalker drove Ventress towards Adams, who successfully stopped her by tasing her. Adams and Skywalker interrogated her, and learned her reasons for helping Ahsoka. They also learned that Ahsoka had spoken to her friend, Barriss Offee, while on the run, which caused them to be suspicious as to whether or not Offee was behind everything.

The two returned to the Jedi Temple, and Adams called in his comrades Grant Wilson, John White, and Daniel Mofaz to come to the Temple to help. Several men from SEAL Team 6 and the British SAS accompanied them to the Temple.

Adams and Anakin set up a trap for Offee. After Anakin forced Offee to reveal herself as the one behind it, he forced her out into the corridor outside her chambers, where Adams, Wilson, White, and Mofaz, along with the SEALs and SAS, cornered her. They were able to distract her, and eventually Wilson was able to keep her distracted long enough for Adams to tase her.

Adams and the three other ASAT commandos escorted Offee to the court where Ahsoka was on trial. They guarded her while she confessed, then escorted her to the Republic military prison.

After Offee was imprisoned, Adams and Wilson returned to the Temple, where they found Ahsoka right after she had decided not to return to the Order. After hearing her reasons for not returning, the two persuaded her to come to Terra with them, and to find a home on Terra. After Ahsoka agreed, the two went with her back to Terra.

Upon their arrival on Terra, Adams took Ahsoka to his family's home in Martinsburg and introduced her to his parents and younger sister, Lindsey. Adams asked his parents to allow Ahsoka to stay with them, to which his parents happily agreed. Adams remained on Terra for a week before heading back to the Andromeda Galaxy.

##### Black Hawk Down

During the period of the Battle for Anaxes, Adams was stationed on Coruscant. On February 22, 1994, Adams was alerted to a situation in which one of his teammates, Colonel Cheng Han, along with a strike team he had been leading, had been shot down on the planet of Skako Minor, and had, by necessity, been left behind on the planet. Adams, after speaking with Colonel Hall, made arrangements to meet with Senator Padme Amidala and Senator Bail Organa.

During their meeting, Adams and the two senators planned out a proposal that Amidala would make in the Senate for the Republic to launch a rescue mission. Adams followed them to the Senate building, and was able to witness the meeting, as well as the Senate voting in favor of the mission.

Adams insisted that Terran units accompany the strike force. He called Colonel Wilson, Colonel Stasevich, Colonel Peretz, and Colonel Rommel to accompany him on the mission, as well as a team of Israeli Sayeret Matkal commandos.

Adams and the other four ASAT commandos, as well as the Israelis, boarded the flagship of the task force, the *Justifiable*, and the task force immediately set off for Skako Minor.

Upon arriving at Skako Minor, Adams and the other four ASAT commandos, as well as the Israelis and a clone commando squad, were immediately sent down to the surface on an LAAT. Upon finding where Colonel Han's team was pinned down by battle droids, Adams leaped out of the gunship with the other 4 ASAT commandos, and lead them, along with Han, in destroying the remaining battle droids. After all Separatist ground forces had been destroyed, Adams led the rescue team in getting Han's team back to the task force.

After the rescue operation, Adams accompanied Han and his team to a Republic medical station, then returned to Coruscant.

##### Battle of Coruscant

Adams remained on Coruscant for the next several months, directing other members of the ASAT team on missions across the galaxy.

In mid-May Adams was deployed to lead Terran forces in the Siege of Mandalore. He made his way to Ord Cestus to rendezvous with the other forces to take part in the Siege, and there was reunited with Ahsoka Tano on May 12. Adams helped to plan their strategy, then returned to Coruscant to confer with some of his teammates, and to appoint Colonel Dennis Rommel as the de facto leader of the ASAT team while he was occupied with the Siege.

Adams was still on Coruscant when, on May 23, 1994, the Separatists launched a massive attack against Coruscant. Adams responded quickly and led men of a British Army unit against battle droids that landed on the planet. When Adams received word that Grievous had landed on the planet and was going after Palpatine, he immediately attempted to make his way to Palpatine's reported location protect the Chancellor, but arrived too late to stop Grievous from capturing the Chancellor and returning to orbit with him.

Despite the Chancellor having been taken, Adams continued to lead Terran and Republic troops on the ground against the remaining droids. At one point, clones from two legions, men from the British division, and a platoon of French troops were all under Adams' effective command.

After the Separatists retreated from Coruscant, and the last of the droids were destroyed, Adams made his way to the Senate building to wait for the Chancellor and his rescuers (Colonel Hall, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi Wan Kenobi) to return.

Upon their arrival at the Senate building, Hall met briefly with Adams, passing on to Adams a report of Palpatine's suspicious actions on board the *Invisible Hand*. Adams took note of the report and ordered Hall back to the Jedi Temple. As he attempted to board a shuttle to take him to Terran HQ on Coruscant, Adams spotted Skywalker and Senator Amidala exchanging a kiss, and deduced the truth about their secret marriage. Adams then traveled to Terran Coruscant HQ to pass on the report to the Terran Joint Command, then left Coruscant to rejoin the coalition preparing to lay siege to Mandalore.

##### Siege of Mandalore

Following his return to the coalition, Adams, along with Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan Kryze, led the combined forces in their first assault on Darth Maul's holdings by capturing the Mandalorian moon of Concordia in a battle lasting 3 days.

Following the capture of Concordia, Adams ordered that they tighten their hold over Maul's supply lines, and begin harassing attacks against Maul's outlying strongholds.

A month after the Battle of Coruscant, Adams took part via transmission in a Jedi High Council meeting in which Anakin Skywalker revealed that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had appointed him as his representative on the Jedi Council. Adams was able to calm Skywalker down when get got upset at the Council refusing to give him the rank of Jedi Master. Immediately following the meeting, he and Bo-Katan left to lead an attack on one of Maul's fortresses on Mandalore.

Over the next week, Adams led several attacks against Maul's outlying outposts. In early July, he began to lead attacks to capture the outlying cities on Mandalore, which resulted in the capture of several cities, including the city of Keldabe.

In mid July, Adams participated in another Jedi High Council meeting, this time discussing the revelation that General Grievous had been located on Utapau. Adams was able to placate Anakin when he was rejected to lead the campaign and supported Obi Wan to lead the campaign. As the meeting ended, Adams was called out by Ahsoka to deal with some of Maul's warriors that had launched an attack on their forces around the city.

Over the next few days, Adams worked with Ahsoka and Bo-Katan to plan for the final assault on Sundari, and trained with Ahsoka for a possible confrontation with Maul.

On July 24, the coalition finally launched the assault on Sundari. Adams joined the assault on Maul's forces while several Zulu Force commandos went looking for Maul himself.

Several hours into the assault, a Zulu Force commando located Maul in the palace, and Adams took Ahsoka Tano, 15 clones, and 15 American troops to the palace. Upon reaching the palace, the clones and American soldiers attacked Maul's forces protecting the entrance, while Adams and Ahsoka made their way into the palace.

Once inside the palace, Ahsoka engaged the four Mandalorian warriors loyal to Maul that were guarding the throne room. As she did got the guards out of the way, Adams made his way forward and challenged Maul. The two circled each other before Adams attacked Maul.

Adams and Maul exchanged a flurry of blows with each other, neither gaining an advantage. Maul then attempted to cut off Adams' legs, but Adams did a backhand spring to put distance between them, then charged to re-engage Maul. The two continued to fight until Adams, provoked to further anger by Maul, increased the ferocity of his attack. Soon after, Adams managed to cut Maul's saber in half, and followed it up seconds later by cutting off Maul's hand. Adams then kicked Maul onto his back, telling Maul is was over.

##### Rise of the Empire

As Adams prepared to kill Maul, the clones who had accompanied Adams to the palace stormed in and attacked Ahsoka. Adams immediately left Maul behind and attacked the clones in order to protect Ahsoka. Within seconds, he had killed all 12 of them.

Seconds later, the American soldiers, along with the three clones that did not turn on Ahsoka (Rex, Jesse, Hardcase), came into the throne room, and Adams, after hearing Rex describe what caused the clones to turn, realized what had happened. He immediately ordered a retreat from Mandalore. The group, led by Adams, left the palace and proceeded to fight their way out of Sundari, along with the rest of the American troops and the Mandalorian resistance. Once they made their way out of the city, Adams and his group escaped on a Mandalorian shuttle, while the rest of the American troops retreated to a Terran warship above the planet.

Adams remained on the ship as it began a search for surviving Jedi. However, several days after the incident on Mandalore, Adams received word to rendezvous with Colonel Rommel and Colonel Hall on Polis Massa. During this time, he received a report on Anakin Skywalker's betrayal, which he passed onto Ahsoka Tano.

When Rommel and Hall arrived on Polis Massa, Adams was present on the asteroid. When it became clear that Padme Amidala, who Hall had escorted to Polis Massa, was dying and her children had to be delivered immediately, Adams took the duty of delivering her children. Drawing on training he had received in the past, Adams delivered Luke and Leia Skywalker. Immediately after their birth, Amidala died, causing Adams to fall to the floor from sadness at her dying under his care.

Hours after the birth of the Skywalker twins, Adams took part in a meeting with Hall, Rommel, Kenobi, Yoda, Bail Organa, and Ahsoka Tano over what should be done with the Skywalker children, and discuss the path forward for the surviving Jedi. During the meeting, Adams offered to adopt Luke, but it was decided to send him to his aunt and uncle on Tatooine.

Following the meeting, Adams, along with his two teammates, Ahsoka Tano, and a number of clones made their way to the Terran Starfleet at its position near Teth, after which the Starfleet returned to Terra.

After arriving on Terra, Adams and the surviving Jedi who decided to come to Terra made their way down to Washington DC to meet with President George H W Bush, where Bush offered the surviving Jedi the chance to join and train the Terran Jedi Order, which most accepted. Bush also informed Adams he would be an honorary member of the Terran Jedi High Council. Bush then informed Adams someone was at the White House to see him. After being led to another room by First Lady Barbara Bush, Adams was reunited with his wife and son.

Over the following month, Adams remained at home with his wife and son. On August 24, Adams called for a meeting of the ASAT team. All 12 members of the team gathered together at the Terran Jedi Temple construction site in West Virginia for the first meeting of the entire team since the end of 1991, where Adams and the rest of the team swore an oath to see the Empire and Sith destroyed.

#### Intergalactic Cold War

Several weeks after the meeting of the ASAT team at the Terran Jedi Temple, Adams' wife Eliza informed him she was pregnant again. Adams was thrilled at the news he would be a father again.

Adams instituted a harsh training regiment for the ASAT team following the retreat to Terra, intending to hone the teams' skills to the absolute limit in order to prepare them for the day they would confront Vader or Palpatine again.

On April 27, 1995, Eliza went into labor and gave birth to a baby girl they named Kelly Adams. Adams fell in love with his daughter at first sight, and became very protective of her immediately.

In 1997, Adams' son Calvin came to Adams and said he wanted to be just like his dad, and begged his dad to teach him. Despite Calvin only being five at the time, Adams decided to give in. He began teaching Calvin some basic self defense techniques.

Over the following years, Adams continued to lead the ASAT team, continuing to push them harder in preparation for the eventual war with the Empire.

In 1999, Adams and Eliza welcomed their third child and second son, Andrew Adams.

In 2001, Adams was present at the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. Adams helped evacuate as many people as he could from the Pentagon before escaping himself. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, Adams tasked the ASAT team with helping the United States to track down Al-Qaeda.

In December 2001, Adams, along with Rommel and Mofaz, were present at the Battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan. When they received word Osama bin Laden was escaping, the three commandos attempted to catch him and stop his escape, but were unable to find.

Adams, along with the rest of the ASAT team, continued to assist in the War on Terror for years to follow. At the same time, he continued to train his son Calvin through his teenage years.

### Terran Alliance Special Operations Command

In 2008, at the age of 47, Adams made the decision to retire from the ASAT team due to his age. He appointed Rommel to take his place as the leader of the team, and accepted a position as the Head of Training for the Terran Alliance Special Operations Command.

Adams remained as TSOC's Head of Training for over 4 years before, in January 2013, he was appointed as the Chief of TSOC.

On September 5, 2013, Adams met with High General Dempsey, Chairman of the Terran Joint Command, who informed Adams that he would be leading an envoy to meet with the Terran Alliance in response to news of an Imperial planet-destroying superweapon.

Adams arrived on Yavin 4, the location of the rebel base on September 16, where he met his old friend Bail Organa. Once on the base, Adams and his team began a training program for Rebel soldiers, as well as advising the Alliance on ways to improve their operations.

On September 17, Adams was present for the meeting in which Jyn Erso presented her findings to the Rebel Alliance. To Adams' frustration, the leading Council was in favor of disbanding the rebellion. Adams protested, but the meeting ended without a decision.

After the meeting, Adams was present when word was received of rebels on Scarif, and went with the rebel fleet to Scarif. He was aboard the *Profundity* throughout the battle, and when Darth Vader boarded the ship in order to recapture the Death Star plans, Adams engaged Vader in a lightsaber duel to keep him from taking the plans. The duel was short, and Vader ended it by using the Force to send Adams flying into a wall and knocking him out.

Adams was taken aboard the Star Destroyer *Devastator*, and after Vader succeeded in capturing Princess Leia, Adams was taken to the Death Star. When he was taken aboard the battlestation, Adams briefly met Leia and told her who he was, but refrained from telling her that he had delivered her 19 years earlier.

Aboard the battlestation, Adams was tortured for information of the defenses and situation of the Terran Alliance, but he refused to crack.

On September 20, Adams was taken to the Death Star's command bridge, where he again met Tarkin, now a Grand Moff. Adams released himself from his cuffs and punched Tarkin in the face, telling the Imperial officer he wished he hadn't saved his life at the Citadel. Adams was then forced to watch as the Death Star destroyed Alderaan.

Not long after, Adams was rescued from his cell by his friend, Tyler Hall, along with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca the Wookiee. Adams helped the team, along with Leia, escape from the Death Star, during which he watched as Darth Vader killed Obi Wan Kenobi. Following the escape from the Death Star, Adams manned one of the laser turrets on the *Millennium Falcon* to fend off Imperial TIE fighters before they were able to escape into hyperspace.

After arriving back at Yavin 4, Adams helped to command the attack on the Death Star, and requested Terran help be sent. Adams witnessed the progress of the battle from the base at Yavin 4. Following the battle, he informed the Terran Joint Command of the outcome, and received word that a Terran task force was on the way to evacuate the Rebellion from Yavin 4.

The Terran task force arrived only a few days later. With the task force came Adams' two oldest children, Calvin and Kelly, neither of whom Adams had seen in over a year. After reuniting with his children, Adams commanded the evacuation of Yavin 4. Following the evacuation, Adams presided over a ceremony on the battleship *TAS Dreadnought* in which he awarded the Jedi Cross, the highest award within the Terran Alliance Armed Forces, to Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca for their actions in escaping from the Death Star and in the station's destruction.

Following these events, Adams returned to Terra to resume his duties as commander of TSOC.
