*Kaidon entered service as a first generation clone during the Battle of Geonosis. Serving with the 327th's Hawkbat Battalion, Kaidon was deployed in Arlakh Company during Geonosis. As a Corporal, 4922 was a stand-in after his Sergeant was killed on when their gunship crashed into the canyons. After being informed by CT-7499, their gunship pilot, of their Sergeant's untimely death, 4922 took command & reassured his men they will survive this. His leading saved the lives of the entire squad. 4922 survived the battle that took the lives of most, & afterwards he was promoted to Sergeant for his heroic deed. 4922 took the name of Kaidon which meant "Leader" in Thyrsian.*

### Battle of Krant & the Hunt for Sev'rance Tann. - Year One

>  *"Carry the battle to them." - CC-4921, Kaidon's Commanding Officer*

While the Battle of Geonosis was a major victory for the Republic both a moral & a strategic victory, the fighting did not end there. The Separatist Council were safely evacuated off Geonosis & the war came into spread. Under the 327th, Kai operated as a mortar-man with Hawkbat Battalion who were deployed under the command of General Echuu Shen-Jon. Licensed with orders to destroy the Decimator War Machine & eliminate Sev'rance Tann - who's been harassing Republic Forces for weeks - Hawkbat Battalion were deployed to Krant & after fierce fighting the Decimator & Sev'rance Tann were both defeated.

### Chaos on Carlac - Year Two

> *"Is Ilius Conrade the greatest man I have served with? Well, I dunno. There was this one time on Carlac where he dragged my bleeding carcass half a mile to an evac gunship. So maybe I'm biased."* - Kaidon's recount of events on Carlac
>
>

A subtle & quick invasion on the world of Carlac left a stern reminder to the Republic that this war still has no end in sight. Hawkbat Battalion were deployed with the 33rd Infantry Battalion in a joint-operation to repel the invasion. What soon followed was an absolute slaughter. Deployed in the Town Eckanari, Kaidon himself saw families & people butchered by the Confederacy due to Carlac's neutrality. Disgusted by the sight, Kaidon began to report in the situation until a blast shook apart the entire household he stood in. Knocked down amongst the ongoing chaos of rushing Clone Troopers, marching Battle Droids, & fleeing civilians, Kaidon's leg was broke & shrapnel pierced his chest causing him to bleed intensely. Pistol in hand from approaching Super Battle Droids in large numbers, the only way Kaidon got out was from the leader of the 33rd, Colonel Illius Conrade, who forcefully grabbed Kaidon & lugged him across an open battlefield half a mile to the evac gunship off Carlac.

### Battle of Felucia - Final Year

> "I'm fed up to the ears with old tyrants dreaming up wars for young clones to die in." - Kaidon
>
>

    One of the worst deployments of the war was Felucia, which was singled out by Chancellor Palpatine along with Mygeeto & Saleucami, labelled a "Triad of Evil." The 327th that day was sent with Battalions on the surface to reinforce teams who were encountering resistance from local wildlife. Acklays were rampant in the region, & Kaidon was nearly killed twice but lived thanks to his comrade-in-arms, Mocha who kept his trigger-finger handy. Mocha & Kaidon served on multiple engagements prior, & were most definitely acquaintances but the operations taken place on Felucia propelled that companion-ship into a friendship. Mocha & Kaidon got along plenty. Kaidon usually keeps to himself, and his personality can be balanced with the then Staff Sergeant Mocha who is far more social with the troops.

#### Arriving on Ground.

Kaidon was led down to Felucia to relieve 501st Legion forces, & Arlakh Company were given strict orders to capture a Separatist Refinery near the landing point. The initial mission was a successful, although at the costs of many clone troopers. Kaidon believed the Outer-Rim Sieges were simply stretching the Republic far too apart & thought that anymore expansion would put the Republic in turmoil. He was proved right initially as news of the Battle of Coruscant reached the 327th, it wasn't until days later they learned it was all apart of the plan by Chancellor Palpatine who sought to lure in Separatist Forces & proceed a counter-attack on the bulk of the Separatist Fleet over Coruscant. Coruscant was a major success, with Count Dooku being killed. Kaidon was proved wrong & he & his men celebrated the night away at base camp upon learning of Dooku's death.

### Order 66 & the Rise of the Empire

The execution of Order 66 came as a surprise to many, including Kaidon & his men, but the thought of defecting or even leaving the Empire never came to mind. Enroute to advance into droid positions, Kaidon & Arlakh Company were apart of an armor column given orders to break the Separatist line. While on mission, the column abruptly stopped & shots were fired just outside. Springing into action, Kaidon & Mocha went out blasters at the ready to defend against on what they thought was an ambush. What it turned out to be was betrayal. From Kaidon's perspective, the Jedi had betrayed the Republic & attempted to usurp control of the Grand Army of the Republic by assassinating the Chancellor. Commander Bly explained this all briefly to Kaidon & Mocha, with the latter explaining his frustration with this betrayal openly. The Battle of Felucia only lasted several more hours until the Droid Army was shut down & the war swiftly ended.

## Imperial Service - Reconquest of the Rim

### Black-Sun Counter Ops

> "Is there more to the Outer-Rim other than looting and piracy?" - Kaidon

Following the Rise of the Empire, Kaidon was transferred out from the 327th Star Corps & sent to lead Aurek Company under the 501st Legion's Vanguard Battalion aboard the Imperial Venator Phalanx. Promoted to Lieutenant, Kaidon begrudgingly accepted his post as Aurek Company Commanding Officer & he began to lead men of the 501st although missing his post in the 327th.

Kaidon's mission began with Counter-Ops in the Corellia System. A very different story from fighting battle droids in a galactic-wide war. Kaidon & Aurek Company stormed an asteroid facility & dropped Black Sun operatives who were making & selling spice out throughout the galaxy. Kaidon was present in the Command Center when an evacuation order hit the comm, where he proceeded to order all his men to leave & rush to the gunship out.

### Strike on Iridonia

> "Times have changed." - Kaidon
>

Kaidon since his transfer to the 501st Legion began to grow an rough companionship with the men below him & the officers he worked with. Men such as Scar, Klik, Pyro he grew a liking to. A lot of that relaxation was cut down when Kaidon was deployed on the world of Iridonia. Having escaped the perilous actions of Order 66, a Jedi Master named Keldrr Ramt'ii decided to hide out on the Zabrak homeworld of Iridonia. Vanguard Battalion - already familiar with the Jedi Master - was sent down to the surface of Iridonia & kill the Jedi Master. Kaidon had no familiarity with the Jedi Master, as did most of his men. The mission on the surface was successful in their objectives, but Kaidon lost much of his men on the ground team having to make a judgement call to save one of his men, Klik, and Kaidon was forced to hold a dying Pyro in his arms. The mission racked him with guilt.
