79th Bloodhound Battalion

The 79th Bloodhound Battalion was a unit that served in the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic's 478th Attack Corps during the Clone Wars.

## **History**

#### **Ryloth Campaign**

##### **Assault on Ryloth**

Flintlock and the 79th performed an assault with air and artillery support on Ryloth against the Separatists. Asgore was killed in action and the Bloodhounds suffered heavy casualties. The 79th Airborne Platoon provided aid and despite the mission failure and the losses, Asgore managed to bring down the enemy's flak emplacements. This allowed the GAR troops to destroy most or all of the CIS base's artillery weapons, permitting an easy escape for the remains of the battalion.

##### **Second Assault Attempt**

Four days later, Flintlock prepped the battalion for another assault against the Separatists on Ryloth. However, they were attacked by the CIS only a few hours before their departure. Though they successfully fended off the attack, destroying the battle droids, the enemy starships caused their Venator to crash land on Kashyyyk and crushed the lower decks.

Having been stranded on the forested homeworld of the fierce Wookiee warrior species, it was a firm possibility the Bloodhounds were going to have to contend with the local wildlife.

##### **Final Attack**

Escaping the wilds of Kashyyyk, the Bloodhound Battalion engaged the enemy in Ryloth. Their final attack on Separatist forces there utterly destroyed battle droid units across several regions, but Vector and Kimber were shot down and blasted to death by B2 super battle droids. Flintlock was killed by droidekas. Kuat assumed the rank of Battalion Commander.

### **Kashyyyk Campaign**

{RP-03} CC-7125 Battalion Commander Kuat took 2 Soldiers CC-2124 "Bixt" and CT-3737"Frosty" to the planet of Kashyyyk via a Stealth Ship prototype once they got past the CIS Blockade they landed at a desolate location far from the droids, Blitz stayed onsite while the double headed out to scout for a safe location for the ship to drop supplies, while scouting CT-3737 was shot in the head by a Commando droid luckily it didn't go thorough his helmet and he recovered afterwards CT-3737'S scan of a Thousand B1-Battle droids and Explosive tanks, he came up with the idea to sneak past and set charges once set, Frosty Swiftly used his jetpack to get back to the site where he set off the explosions as soon as this happened the Republic fleet arrived with Admiral Locust's venator and supporting fleets swiftly sending laats accompanied by Fighter escort to retrieve the troopers, once the 50 laat's had arrived they dropped extra relief supplies and armaments for the upcoming republic invasion to free the Wookie's from CIS Control and Trandoshian slavery, The stealth ship headed back to the Fleet meanwhile Frosty and Kuat held the Incoming droid reinforcements bravely destroying there armour with Rockets and disabling the droids with a E-web setup with the help of other troopers, then it was back to the fleet for planning of the invasion.
