CS-2152 'Tact' was a first-generation clone serving as a jet trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, in the 501st Legion's Trebuchet Battalion.

### *Personality and Traits*

CS-2152 is a laid back trooper and quite talkative; on the battlefield he leads and serves with his fellow jet troopers to be as flexible as possible when it comes to unit placement. He is disliked by many of those in Aurek's sister company, Besh company due to his personality. The death of those under his command has hurt and damaged CS-2152 in the past and continues to weigh on him through his current day activities.

## ***Biography***

### *Early History*

CS-2152 was raised and trained in the traditional regiment given to standard troopers, he stood out among his squad for his leadership traits and he was marked for having such traits on his file.

CS-2152 arrived late to the Battle of Geonosis, he landed with the second wave of clone troopers to help support the first invading army. After the battle, he joined up with his brothers in Aurek company aboard the RV Phalanx; shortly after the battle he trained to join the jetpack trooper detachment of Aurek company under CT-4022. He made friends with CS-2814 while on the battlefield of an unknown snow planet that was under CIS occupation; he made acquaintance with CT-8375 in the following days.

### *Early Tragedy*

Trebuchet Battalion was deployed to the Planet of Rishi under false intelligence, shortly after touchdown an ambush was sprung on the unaware forces by the CIS. CC-6447 surrendered the forces to the CIS to save the lives of those under his command; many thought the decision was flawed and wanted to fight to the death, but followed his stand-down order none-the-less. The forces were taken to the CIS Providence-class vessel for interrogation, CC-6447 was quickly taken for interrogation by the commanding tactical droid. While under interrogation, the tactical droid took members of Trebuchet Battalion to use the threat of their execution to get information, CC-6447 didn't cave. CS-2814 was one of those killed in the executions, it made CS-2152 depressed for a time, but he keeps going for the sake of his brothers.

### Battle of Kamino

CS-2152 was deployed, along with the rest of the 501st with the 212th, to defend Tipoca city from a CIS raid. He didn't play a huge role and largely sat in the background during the operation, though he met Captain Rex and took an admiring to him, he almost lost his life to a Trident-class assault ship but jumped out of its drill just before it completely broke through the cities wall.

### Second Battle of Geonosis

CS-2152 landed with the initial invading force to their old headquarters used during the first battle. He served with his forces and Aurek, and others in the Trebuchet Battalion to disable the Droid factory that was nearby. A nearby outpost established to help with area control was attacked and quickly destroyed by CIS forces; CS-2152 and a small squad tried to rescue them but were too late and the initial garrison was found dead. The droids tried to kill the squad as well, but the squad held and broke the CIS attack, and before sunset the squad made it back to HQ for a much-needed rest after the battle.

### Battle of Mimban

CS-2152 was not present with Trebuchet Battalion in the landing or for the majority of the battle, he was off training other Jetpack trooper squads within' the 501st during the battle. He regards Mimban as a "Hell-hole," along with the rest of the Battalion and never wants to return.

### Battle of Jabiim

The Battle of Jabiim shook up the newly minted Senior NCO. CS-2152 looked up to few, but the ARC trooper known as "Stec" was definitely one of them; CS-2152 is the one who found his body and his squad ran through thick fog to bring him back to their FOB with hope to save the incapacitated soldier, but it was too late for him. He helped build the funeral pyre that incased the troopers body, CS-2152 gave his last words to his commanding officer under his breath, not wanting anyone to hear what he was saying. The rest of the battle was a fight for survival. He remembers the battle as the one of the worst he has experienced.

### After Jabiim

After the Battle and sometime afterward the Outer Rim Sieges began, with this many career officers are being transferred all over to help support the war effort. CL-2221 was one of those officers that were transferred, the vacancy left by his departure was noticeable to many. The death of ARC-22 and leaving of CL-2221 left Aurek without a solid leader for sometime, CS-2152 took command as best he could and kept the company together until a new Commanding Officer was found. After some time CS-2152 ,now CL-2152, was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and given Command of Aurek Company, he has been with the company for a long time and was genuinely honored to serve as its company commander. What the future hold for this new Officer is unknown, but he seems slightly optimistic to see what becomes of him.
