ARC-77 "Fordo" (RP)

## ARC 77 "Fordo"

ARC-77 or Alpha-77 also known as "Fordo" is an Alpha-Class Advance Recon Commando and Commander Of The Muunilinst 10 during the Clone Wars. Trained by Jango Fett, Fordo would lead his squad from the Battle of Muunilinst to the Battle Over Ordo, leading up to the eventual disbandment of the Muunilinst 10 and their falling out. Fordo then went undercover gathering intel on the Sith Empire, and keeping an eye on the traitor Future.

Fordo eventually returned from his undercover work and meet up the few members of the Muunilinst 10 that was still alive and reformed his squad and went out on a mission to locate Alpha-05 "Epsilon". While trying to locate Epsilon, they ran into Alpha-Ø2 also known as Spar who would eventually become good friends with Fordo. After finding Epsilon, Fordo and the Muunilinst 10 went on a couple of adventures that eventually ended with them on Coruscant, on the Day of Chaos.

Fordo and the Muunilinst 10 then went to Kamino, along with a captured Spar they uncovered a secret cloning project made by the Kaminoans to aid in rebelling against the Republic. After stopping the rebellion, Fordo and his squad went on a new mission to locate Fifty Moons of the Winding Bridge, a location that was rich in resources. There, along with Grand Admiral Thrawn, they meet a being called Omega. Fordo along with the Muunilinst 10 than returned to Arca Barracks to help with the restructuring of the Special Operations Brigade.

### Early Life

Born and breed on Kamino, Fordo was one of the original 101, Alpha Class ARC Trooper, breed to be independent than regular clones. He was trained by Jango Fett, along side his other brothers including Alpha-17 and Hawkeye and the rest of the Alphas. During this time he would be given the rank of Captain and become interested in the skill of a fellow Alpha, ARC-15 "aka Future" who would eventually become one of his closest and most trusted friend.

### Start Of The Clone War

#### Meeting Boss and Day

Sometime after the First Battle of Kamino, Fordo was taking a kick back from the war in a bar on Coruscant, where he meets 2 brothers who Fordo would trust with his life RC-1138 "aka Boss" and CC-1289 "aka Day". Boss and Fordo immediately, thought it was a good idea to see who could drink the most before passing out. Let's just say no one remembers who actually passed out first.

#### The First Battle Of Muunilinst

"*ARC Troopers, you have been selected for this task because you are the best, the elite, you all know what to do*"
―Obi-Wan Kenobi, to the Muunilinst 10 before the Battle Of Muunilinst

Under the orders of Jedi General Obi Wan Kenobi, Captain A-77 "Fordo" and an elite task of Advanced Recon Commandos were sent on a mission in the city of Harnaidan, their objective to take out a Separatist defensive artillery emplacement at the heart of Muunilinst. There was little difficulty while entering the city, however their gunship was shot down behind enemy lines. After taking out surrounding enemy snipers, the ARC Troopers continued on to their objective. While in route, they encountered an Armored Assault Tank which was easily taken out by blowing it up from the inside. Reaching their objective the ARC Troopers eliminated the surrounding forces and rigged the cannon to explode. The success and efficiency of their mission would earn the task force it's name, The Muunilinst 10. Meeting up with General Kenobi and the rest of the ground forces, Fordo and The Muunilinst 10 would then help capture the InterGalactic Banking Clan's Command Centre, along with aiding in the defeat of the bounty hunter called Durge, they were able to take San Hill and his associates into custody.

#### Rescue on Hypori

"*Three life signs. One in the rubble. Another in the rafters. Everyone else, with me. Move out!*"
―-Fordo, during the Battle of Hypori

Fordo was sent to Hypori to rescue the survivors of Barrek's task force. He and ten lieutenants were tasked with recovering them, and, favoring a more aggressive approach, Fordo brought along an Advanced Recon Commando heavy gunner, and a Reciprocating quad blaster. Reaching Hypori in a gunship, Fordo and his men approached the downed *Acclamator*-class assault ship in which the surviving Jedi were hiding, and the Captain, after preparing his gear, ordered his pilot to begin jamming the enemy. Making its way past the army of droids that surrounded the assault ship, the gunship dropped remote bombs amongst the enemy, before blasting its way into the Acclamator. As soon as he debarked, Fordo detected three life signs and had one of his troops check in some nearby rubble, while another checked in the rafters. Making his way towards the life signs with all due haste, Fordo progressively ordered his troops to fan out.

They were met with the sight of a wounded Jedi Master, General Ki-Adi-Mundi, dueling General Grievous. Fordo and his men wasted no time in opening fire on the cyborg General, but Grievous was able to evade their shots and began cutting down the ARC troopers. The Captain reacted by having his gunship pilot blast his way into the area, and open fire on Grievous with the ship's weapons. While the cyborg fled the site, Fordo's men recovered the other surviving Jedi: Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti. When the Captain ordered his men back on board the gunship, Ki-Adi-Mundi protested, insisting that they pursue Grievous, but Fordo pointed out that the survivors would surely perish if they lingered on Hypori. The General relented, and boarded the craft. As they flew away from the crashed Acclamator, Fordo activated the remote bombs, wiping out a large number of enemy troops and clearing a path for the gunship to escape through.

The wounded Jedi, though in a critical condition, survived, and were able to return to the galactic capital of Coruscant. Due to his efforts, Fordo was awarded the Chancellor's Service Medal, but he refused, and had the honor bestowed upon the late CT-43/002, one of his men who had perished during the Battle of Muunilinst.

#### Extraction on The Forest Moon Of Endor

Fordo and the Muunilinst 10 were sent to the CIS-controlled Forest Moon Of Endor to extract General Mace Windu and Systems Army Alpha who are being hunted by Jango Fett who turns out not to be dead along with a bunch of other deadly Bounty Hunters and a crash Venator and it's reactor about to go critical. Luckily, Fordo and his team made it just in time and helped the Jedi and their clones escape.

#### Kamino Invasion

"*Kamino Invasion?*"
―EveryoneThe Invasion of Kamino is some thing not even Fordo like to mention, The ARCs under the command of ARC General Havoc were order to protect the hangar from the invading Separatist forces. However a Gunship full of rhydonium exploded and basically took out everyone in the Hanger, only 4 ARCs were still able to fight, Fordo included however he couldn't do much since he was burned from the explosions and one arm and one leg were broken. Kamino haunts the minds of ARCs to this day.

### System Army Dorn

#### Promotion To MCDR and Head Of The Coruscant Guard

Sometime before the Kamino Invasion, Fordo was chosen by Chancellor Palpatine to lead his personal clone guard, The Coruscant Guard, Fordo would reshape the guard to be a loyal and dedicated clone unit and was placed under System Army Dorn to aid them in there battles. Fordo's leadership and heroics would get him promoted to Marshal Commander of the Army and would help them win many battles. However this put a lot of pressure on Fordo to the point he started to become stressed out with doing his best.

#### Second Battle Of Muunilinst

Fordo and The Muunilinst 10 had to retake Muunilinst again from the CIS, they blew up the cannons and a factory, one shot some tanks, and got cucked by Grevious, a very normal mission for once.

#### Death Over Ordo

After failing to capture Bo-Katan during the Glassing of Mandalore, The Muunilinst 10 finally got their chance for revenge. Under the orders of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Fordo and his men boarded Bo's ship in hoping to capture or eliminate the Mandalorian sith. Unfortunately, seems luck was not on their side, The Muunilinst 10 was pinned down and it seemed like very little chance of escape until Ex2, sacrificed himself to give us an opening to escape. However, some of the members didn't want to leave Ex2 to die, while Fordo knew there was no other way and they should escape so no more have to die. If Ex2 didn't force push the squad into the LAAT the entire team would have been dead. While on the LAAT, Alpha-17 and Hawkeye, and Cards tried to force the gunship to turn back but it was being remote piloted by Thrawn. Fordo tried to calm them down but he got called cold-hearted for not even trying to save Ex2. It was here that Fordo starts to grow distant from his brothers.

### Fall of the Muunilinst 10

#### Pressures of Leading

Fordo realized that the stress and pressure of leading the Coruscant Guard and MCDR along with leading the Muunilinst 10, and decided to step down from MCDR and head of the Guard passing the command of the Guard to Commander Fox and decided to focus on leading the Muunilinst 10.

#### Meeting the 415th

Most of Fordo's friends are dead and turns out one is a traitor, and he starts to have a mental break down.

### Undercover in the Sith Empire

#### Learning Future is Alive

While the Muunilinst 10 were with the 415th over Dromund Kaas, a familiar clone returned under the name of Fudge, recently friend turned traitor ARC Trooper Future returned with a mission to get Fordo to join the Sith Empire. Future tried to persuade Fordo to join by offering him some powerful weapons and upgrades. Fordo told Future he would join, saying he was tried of what the Republic was doing. But that was all a lie for he had a mission to complete.

#### Undercover

Fordo had a mission to spy on the Sith Empire. Using his friendship with Future, he meet some of there leaders and even learn some other secrets as well.

#### Reuniting With Alpha-17

Fordo was stunned and stuff happens, what you expected it to be longer, too bad, literally that's what happen, oh and Fordo returned to his brothers, but he doesn't really care about the war, just his brothers and his crew, The Muunilinst 10

### Adventures With The Muunilinst 10

#### Rebuilding The Muunilinst 10

When Fordo returned he wasted no time, he got the remaining members together and meet with the ARC Troopers on Charra to not only help them in their assault but to select new members for the team, these chain of event will lead Fordo on a mission to locate Epsilon who went missing after he went off with Future(man rookie mistake)

#### Tracking Epsilon

Doing some digging into Epsilon's "death", Fordo and Co. learn the Epsilon's ship was last scene on Mandalore's moon Concordia.

#### Kaminoan Rebellion

"*And things got a bit out of hand from there, and before we knew it, we uncovered a conspiracy. A whole new batch of clones...*"
―Journal from a member of Rancor Battalion
Officially, there never was a clone rebellion on Kamino. Unofficially, in the year of 20 BBY, a special detachment of Alpha ARC Troopers ended up on Kamino. Having captured the clone deserter A-Ø2 "Spar", Fordo and his squad decided to bring him back to Kamino in hopes of being able to get answers out of him. Arriving on the planet, everything seemed normal, until Fordo learned that A-45 "Havoc", recently out of a coma, was sent to Kamino from the front lines for reconditioning. After learning from Spar that the process of reconditioning was essentially torture, Fordo took matters into his own hands and freed Havoc. This led to Fordo and the Muunilinst 10 uncovering a bigger conspiracy; a new batch of clones and ARC Troopers who were being secretly bred by the Kaminoans for the sole purpose of fighting against the Republic.

## SPFC Bar

With the recent restructure of Special Operations Brigade, a bar was built for the troopers and Fordo took it upon himself to manage and run the bar, officially dubbing it SPFC Bar.

## Personality and Traits

Far from being a subtle man, Fordo preferred straightforward tactics, employing overwhelming firepower as opposed to complicated strategies. He eventually became famous for his bombastic approach to any given situation, which continually awarded him success. He was also modest, refusing to take credit for his actions, and instead valuing the contributions of those who fell on the field of battle more. Fordo was undeterred in the face of great danger, and fought on with unfailing courage no matter how dire the situation, although he would give the order to retreat in the face of overwhelming odds. He would also disobey his superiors if they were to jeopardize his objectives, as he did with General Ki-Adi-Mundi on Hypori.

However do to the many deaths of his closet friends he has started to be more angry and cold hearted, to the point he even shot one of his men for disobeying his orders, he also started isolating himself and distancing himself to the people he called friends. With his recent return to his brothers and hoping to rebuild the squad, Fordo hopes to return himself to the man he once was.

## Equipment and Abilities

Fordo recently got a new set of Beskar Phase 2 Alpha-Class ARC Trooper Armor, besides being Phase 2 and made out of different material, the armor has the same features, equipment, and his signature red markings as his previous armor including a wrist mounted grappling hook/taser on his right arm, a wrist mounted flamethrower, a comlink system built into his left gauntlet, a blast-dampening pauldron, a skirt-like *kama*, and a belt that featured a dual pouch holster that held his twin DC-17S hand blasters. His pauldron had an ammunition pouch attachment, which held ammo for his twin blaster pistols. Fordo's helmet also sported red accents and *Jaig eyes* which is a symbol of courage in Mandalorian culture, the knowledge of the culture was passed down from Jango Fett. His helmet also featured a rangefinder, thermal vision, night vision, and a built in HUD(Heads Up Display) which connects to the HUD in his eye. The Armor and Helmet , had a HUD or heads up display built into their helmets. These allowed their wearers to control the functions of the armor, display information, highlight enemies, show tactical information and distance to the target during the battle. The HUD was controlled by eye movement. Also it had the ability to regulate the temperature in the armor and had a holoprojector in the glove.

Fordo was trained to use a variety of weapons under Jango Fett, such as snipers, rifles, pistols, daggers and explosive weapons. but prefers to use his modified/custom dual DC-17S(which he designed himself) as he always has them where ever he goes but he being and Alpha Class ARC Trooper and being more independent then other clones he can adapt to the situations he is in.

After Fordo went with Future to the Sith Empire, Future gave him a lightsaber and started teaching him it until Future deserted. Luckily Fordo's basic training was completed by Darth Nebarius. When Fordo was found by Alpha-17 he decided to keep the lightsaber locked up, until he decides he is ready to use it again.

Fordo also loves using Droid Poppers and Thermal Detonators, there is nothing more satisfying then explosions and droids just stop working because of one little device.

Fordo also as a cybernetic arm, It uses Kyber Crystals to enhance the user. From the shoulder down the ultrachrome arm contains no pain receptors. Right above the elbow is a rotating chamber with 5 kyber crystal slots. You can only lock in and use 1 crystal at a time, but using your brain, you can activate the crystal. When activated, the blade opens through various emitters spread around the arm and forms a thin shield around the arm, save for the palm, fingers, and around the elbow. The Five Crystals in the arm are these:

Incineration: The blade is in flames, and can spread easily onto another person, Ghostfire: provides the user with after image illusions to disorient the opponent, Nextor: volatile, but an extremely powerful blade, Luxum: The blade has an ionization property, making it extra dangerous to droids, Lorddian: allows you to read the actions of opponents, enhances reactions, defense, and deflection.
