## Biography

### Early Life

Katana was born on Kamino during the year 32 BBY, and trained for several years to become a Republic soldier. During these years, Katana proved to be a brave and loyal soldier, following orders from his superiors and protecting his brothers at all costs. However, Katana seemed to have a sense for when orders were morally wrong.

During one training session on Kamino, Katana was ordered to leave a wounded soldier behind, however Katana disobeyed this order and stayed behind with the Trooper. Katana was scolded by his superiors for this and was forced to redo several training sessions.

### War of the Eternal Alliance

#### Kamino

Katana eventually met Alpha-02 "Spar" and Captain ARC-45 "Havoc" during one of their missions on Kamino, and joined them and the other ARCs that were on Kamino on their assignment. Katana was taken under the wing of Havoc and Major ARC-77 "Fordo", participating in several training sessions against other clones.

After the arrival of Alpha-17 and A-26 "Maze", several troopers, including the Muunilinst 10, the Alphas, several rails and several Anti-Troopers were sent to Tipoca city.

SAD soon invaded Kamino, with the Muun 10 and Alpha ARCs supporting them. With the objective to capture Lama Su and take Tipoca city, SAD and the ARCs began pushing the rails ant anti-troops, taking more ground of the city. The Muun 10 and Katana used the fighting as a diversion, and started towards Lamu Su's office. However, Lama Su activated bombs all around the city, and the Muun 10 were forced to disarm them. Havoc however pushed forward to Lama Su's office.

Helping Fordo and the Muun 10 disarm the bombs, they eventually made their way to Lama Su's office, only to find that she had killed herself before Havoc could shoot her. Havoc, feeling defeated, rejoined with the group as they disarmed the last bomb. As the rest of the ARCs took the control center, Havoc, Katana, and several others made their way to the landing pad. Once the city was taken, Republic Director of Communications Axis informed the ARCs and SAD that they would be remaining on Kamino for a short while longer. With the battle over, all troopers returned to their barracks.

#### Death Mission

The Muun 10, along with Katana were later dispatched to a facility, with orders from Axis to retrieve a cloned body from within. After infiltrating the facility, the squad made their way through a booby trapped corridor. While walking through, Havoc activated a booby trap, however Katana pushed Havoc out of the way in time for him to be hit with a dart, instead of Havoc. Katana was then decapitated by a kaminoan with a sabre, saving Havoc, however killing himself in the process.

#### Legacy

Soon after finishing the mission, the ARC's and the Muun 10 held a funeral for Katana, saluting him and honoring his death. Shortly after, Havoc painted a katana symbol on his chest piece, with "Katana" spelt in aurabesh, representing Katana.
