A-60 **"Stec"** was an Alpha-class ARC who fought in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. A clone of the Human male bounty hunter Jango Fett that was born in 32 BBY, Stec—along with the rest of the one hundred ARC troopers in the Alpha-class—was personally trained by the Jango Fett. He served in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army during the Clone Wars, which launched in 22 BBY. Throughout the war, he participated in the Battle of Muunilinst and the Battle of Hypori along with the rest of the Muunilinst 10, where the ARC Troopers were sent to rescue the surviving Jedi Knights from General Grievous. After Hypori Stec would go on to be a full time member of the Muunilinst 10, accompanying them to Endor, The Wheel, 50 Moons of the Winding Bridge, Naboo where he obtained the Jaig Eyes, Olanet, and Bunduki. He has a heavy interest in heavy weaponry and his preferred strategy is to blast a hole in things but has shown stealth capabilities.

## Biography

"*I am Stec ...and this [grabs Z-6 Rotary Cannon] is my weapon. [lays both hands covetously on said weapon] She weighs sixteen kilograms and fires two hundred focused, high-energy particle-beams at nine-thousand nine hundred and sixty bolts per minute before recharging. [looks intently at cadet] It costs five thousand five hundred credits... to mow down a CIS army*"
―Stec talking about the Z-6 Rotary Blaster cannon
### Kamino

In the year 32 BBY, the Kaminoans began building a clone army for the Republic. Stec was one of the 100 Alpha-class Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos created from the genome of his clone template and bounty hunter Jango Fett. In addition to the flash training, in which all soldiers received a basic lesson on the development of their military abilities, Fett subjected Stec and the Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos to separate training into ideal special mission groups, capable of operating solely behind enemy lines due to their unique abilities. Because of their lack of obedience, the ARC generation after Jango Fett's departure from Kamino was transferred to stasis and only reactivated two months after the beginning of the Clone Wars during the Battle of Kamino. Stec was integrated as a sergeant in the command operations of the Grand Army of the Republic.

### Muunilinst

Stec was one of the selected ARCs for a taskforce sent behind enemy lines on Muunilinst, led by ARC Captain Fordo. Stec was shot down alongside the rest of the team. Stec was able to blast away many enemies as well as stay silent as they scaled the AA Gun and placed the charges, blowing the AA gun to shreds and allowing a forward advance from the GAR. Stec would also accompany Fordo into the same room as Durge and would assist Fordo in attacking Durge to no avail due to Durge's unique biology. After the defeat of Durge thanks to General Kenobi, Fordo and Stec as well as the rest of the Muunilinst 10 would have a more important task to do.

### Hypori

Following the Battle of Muunilinst, ARC captain Fordo was given the task of carrying out an emergency rescue operation on the planet Hypori to evacuate a group of Jedi who were under attack by forces led by General Grievous, the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies. Stec was part of this task force, and carried a Z-6 rotary blaster, a heavy weapon for infantry support during missions with specific tactical requirements.

In the approach of their LAAT/i gunship to the wreck of the *Acclamator*-class assault ship where the Jedi were, the soldiers prepared their equipment for the upcoming deployment. When the gunship reached the inside of the destroyed assault ship, Stec and the rest of the Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos gathered behind Fordo. While two of the ARC Troopers were searching for the signs of life that Fordo had discovered in the ruins, Fordo ordered the other clone troopers to fan out. In the location where he had localized two other life signs, the soldiers witnessed a lightsaber duel between Grievous and the last standing Jedi, Ki-Adi-Mundi. When Grievous attempted to finish off the Jedi Master, he noticed the approaching clones, who immediately opened fire on him. Grievous was initially forced to flee further into the wreck in order to escape the ongoing firing of the clones, but eventually attacked the clones, cutting down four of them with his lightsabers. Fordo then called in the gunship for fire support. While Grievous retreated from the gunship's bombardment, Fordo ordered a retreat to ensure the survival of the three rescued Jedi; Shaak Ti, Aayla Secura, and Ki-Adi-Mundi. In the process, Stec sat down at the edge of the passenger cabin in order to be able to hold back Grievous after the Jedi were loaded onto the gunship. All three Jedi and the clones escaped and survived.

### Endor

Shortly after Hypori, Stec and the Muunilinst 10 would be called to Endor to assist the GAR in their offensive against the CIS, thought Stec was unaware that his trainer, Jango Fett, was the one in charge of a group of bounty hunters on Endor. Stec spent most of his time in space waiting for the right signal. When an explosion rocked the ship he was one he went out to investigate, figuring out the cause. Stec and the Muunilinst 10 were then called into the Muunilinst 10 LAAT and were sent down to the surface where they engaged Fett and the bounty hunters. Stec uses his Z-6 Rotary Cannon to create a form of overwhelming firepower as well as fit into the gears of the Muunilinst 10, due to the Muunilinst 10's professional and skill, they were able to handle the bounty hunters and eventually retreat with the necessary people.

### Kamino

Not much is known about Stec on Kamino but he was in the hangar when the explosion from a Rhydonium filled LAAT happened and was out of commission for a while but quickly rejoined the Muunilinst 10 as a reserve member for the time being.

### The Wheel

Stec would then rejoin the Muunilinst 10 to The Wheel for a vacation, but that was quickly shut down by an encounter with the leader of Krosha Morze, Taravara. Stec would use his heavy weapons knowledge alongside the LAAT's onboard missiles to knock Taravara out of balance and keep him at bay as they moved to rescue Darin. Stec would then accompany the 10 to a system in the Hapes system looking for a fountain of youth that was turned out to be fake, which caused a lot of outcry, Stec then became a full fledged member of the Muunilinst 10 and would assist time to time in getting the info for the 50 Moons of the Winding Bridge.

### 50 Moons of the Winding Bridge

The Muunilinst 10 would be assigned to accompany Thrawn and a small fleet beyond the galaxy towards a supposed resource planet. Stec would be one of the few people to cross the galactic barrier surrounding the galaxy. Stec played a small role but was the one who eventually came down and provided assistance when the betrayal of the Trickster known as Not Hawk was revealed and when Not Hawk and Omega had a giant fight which destroyed 2 moons. Albeit the LAAT was destroyed first, but repaired by the Trickster and used to escort Omega out of the danger zone. Stec would then return to the galaxy and stay at Arca when Atris assumed position of the Director of Special Forces, and where major reforms happened, putting Stec in the 07 Battalion under Commander Epsilon, Stec would start as a sergeant but shortly became Lieutenant.

### Naboo

During the Naboo blackout, Stec joined Epsilon's small group to Naboo to figure out the cause of the problem. On Naboo, Stec was quickly placed under the influence of the Queen and would turn on Epsilon who resisted the effects due to a shard of Marka Ragnos in him. Stec would continue to serve the fascist Naboo but would be free of the effects thanks to a younger Axis. After returning to Coruscant and talking to Palpatine, Stec was awarded the Jaig Eyes, but this made Stec feel less, as he didn't deserve the eyes and he knew this.

### Olanet

Stec would be assigned to assist with a sabotage mission on Olanet, one of the CIS's factory worlds. Stec would be handed new gear and weapons, including a Geonosian Elite Beam Cannon, and a Holowan Electrostaff. Stec would arrive on Olanet and trudge through the forest, assisting in attacking predators who ate ARC Ethereal's hand and almost killed ARC Wolf. Stec would then disguise himself as a bounty hunter in Pyuzantir, getting high bounties and tracking leads that went nowhere. Stec would also later enter the academy on Aureblava and later pass and gain knowledge and gear. Finally Stec would participate on the final sabotage in Nova Olun, where he gained a concussion and was almost killed by factory equipment on a conveyer belt but was bailed out by Cal Kestis.

### Bunduki

After Olanet, Stec would return to Arca promoted to Captain. When unrest in Bunduki happened, the Muunilinst 10 members were called onto the mission and Stec went along. Stec would serve as a quartermaster and would provide heavy fire during an assault on the base camp on Bunduki where he currently is.

## Skills and Abilities

As an Alpha-Class Advanced Recon Commando, Stec was trained in a variety of weapons and techniques by Jango Fett, but showed a clear affinity for CQC, Martial Weapons, and Heavy Weapons in training. As such Stec is one of the few Alphas who are dedicated for heavy weaponry. But that does not take away his effectiveness in other areas. Stec also spent a lot of training in hand to hand and martial weapons, as well as Mandalorian Saber Combat, and Stec packs quite a punch while also being able to take a lot of hits. Stec has trained himself to be able to take hits and continue fighting and sometimes it is to the detriment of him.

## Equipment

Stec wears Beskar Alpha Series III armor with Jaig Eyes painted on his helmet, having achieved them from his mission on Naboo. Stec's main weapon of choice is the Z-6 Rotary Blaster cannon, but is comfortable with the WESTAR-M5, and after gaining some non-standard weapons on Olanet, wields a Geonosian Elite Beam Cannon and a Holowan Electrostaff. Stec also kept a DP-23 shotgun, 2 Reverse Pulse Polarity grenades, and 5 thermal detonators. Stec also uses an ID-10 droid with his armor, making a suitable piece of equipment and very useful.

## Personality

Stec is best described as a little eager. He is always first into battle and willing to fight and get into conflict, and as such hates the idea of negotiations and patience. He is best described as a blaster sponge and will take a lot of hits due to making himself a target, but when under the guidance of a capable leader he will listen to them, one such person being Fordo. Stec wants to protect his brothers and will sometimes make himself a bigger target or cover his brothers with overwhelming firepower from a Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon, Stec is also good at hunting and using various weaponry, making him one of the most useful Alphas you could have on your side. Stec also feels less and doesn't believe he deserves Jaig Eyes, and will try to prove to himself that he deserves them.
