S1 E1: Clone Baptism By Fire

> Order 66 has just ravaged the known universe. Billions of clone troopers are now under the power of the new Emperor, Darth Sidious. Small pockets of rebellion have sprung up amid the chaos. None, however, seem to have gotten a foothold against the Empire. That is, until a small spark of hope rises out of the shadows. After the death of his comrades in Daley Squad, Rico realized something was wrong with the clone troopers' breeding. These clone troopers were no random coincidence. He investigated the best he could, but didn't manage to convince anybody that it was real. Every time he made progress, a mysterious higher-up would make sure it didn't go any further into the investigation of the clone traitors. So Rick called upon any clones that would listen to his plea, and assembled a new brigade: Rico's Brigade. Rico managed to get them stationed in Vergesso asteroid fields, where no contact could be made with the rest of the Republic, ensuring that whatever was tampered with in their brains couldn't be activated. Order 66 came and went. Rico waited with his brigade; he wanted to see pockets of resistance to the Empire forming. And form they did. When he was sure he wasn't alone in his fight, Rico made his move. Rico moves his army into Geonosis airspace: a small planet, entirely controlled by the Empire. Rico expects a swift victory, and, hopefully, with it, a sign to the Empire that they don't rule everything.

## Clone Baptism By Fire

### Writer

Daley Tactics

Order 66 has just ravaged the known universe. The Galactic Republic has been reformed into the Galactic Empire, under the command of Emporer Palpatine, AKA Darth Sidious. Pockets of resistance have sprung up to this new, tyrannical rule, but none have managed to gain a foothold… until a small spark of hope emerges front the Vergesso asteroid fields.

The clone trooper known as Rico, formerly a mere grenadier in and the only survivor of Daley Squad, decided to investigate the breeding of the Kamino clones after the death of his comrades and discovered the truth behind their origins and an inhibitor chip in each clone’s head that, when activated, would force them to obey Palpatine and kill any Jedi they saw. Rico’s attempts to warn his superiors proved futile, though, so instead he gathered every clone commander who would listen and got their force of roughly 1 billion men stationed to the Vergesso Asteroid Field near the edges of the known regions, where they would be cut off from the rest of the Republic and waited out Order 66. Now sure that he’s not alone in this fight, Rico’s Brigade moves out to attack the planet of Geonosis; the site of the first battle of the Clone Wars. Though the local race of sentient insectoids has been forced into slavery by the Empire, the planet is lightly defended, and Rico expects a swift victory.
