Wars.

The Clone Wars

Those were the wars that changed the Galaxy.

And I was a soldier serving in those wars.

Who am I? I am CT-1192, otherwise known as Travis. I am one of the few remaining actual Clones mostly because I survived the Wars. I am a Stormtrooper serving under the Galactic Empire. Yes, that's right, the Galactic Empire. The one that forced quadrillions of lives to serve for their wretched cause.

And I hate it here. I hate what Emperor Palpatine has done these past years to my squadron. To my teamates. To Me...

My story is one that hardly anyone would be interested in, but I will tell it anyway. The story of my youth, and how I ended up guarding Rhydonium in this miserable Imperial base.

But where do I start? Perhaps the very beginning. On that faithful night on the planet of Kamino, I was born. That's where I will begin my story.

XXX

As usual, Kamino's oceanscape was dreadfully stormy, but the civillian structures stood strongly against the relentless waves. Kamino was home to a Cloning facility and the birthplace of the troopers. When Jedi Master Syfo-Diyas issued the order for an army, the Kaminoans hastily commenced work. Using the DNA from the bounty hunter Jango Fett, the army was conceived with pride. Contradictory to what most people think, the troopers weren't all created at once. I was in the second-to-last batch trained.

Being created in a machine isn't the same as being born of a mother-as some people say-, but to me it made no difference. Due to Clones being gentically modified to enhance neural capabilities, I can remember what happened on my first day, and I could understand information even at a few minutes old. I sure am greatful for this.

The cold air and the bright lights of the facility took me by surprise when I was brought out if the machine. As a baby naturally would, I cried. I calmed down a few minutes later, and I noticed something out of place. I saw most of the other clone babies carried off to the nursery right after their "birth", but I stayed in a small incubator in one corner of the gigantic room. Five Kaminoans bent over with their long necks to look at me lying down in my incubator. They had puzzled, almost upset, expressions on their faces. I could hear their voices, but at that time I obviously haven't learned language yet. Sitting there, I listened to their words, hoping that I could understand them once I learned to speak. This is what I heard.

"This one is defective, just like the five others!"

"Yes, he will take too long to train! If we try to align him with the other 'normal' clones, he will drop out for sure."

"We must get rid of him!"

"No! That is cruel"

There was a long silence.

"Malek-Sal, have you lost your mind? Well, your mind is already feeble, so I am not surprised."

"No! It is a cruel and unjust act to get rid of such an innocent little lifeform! So what if his growth acceleration is faulty? He will be a fine soldier! We should not dispose of him like a faulty protocal droid!"

"Enough of this nonsense, Malek-Sal. You have already saved the five other defective clones, and now you want an even heavier burden? CT-1192 will not fit in, even with the defectives. His inhibitor chip is damaged, so we cannot hand him over to the Galactic Republic for use in war!"

"Fine, then. I shall keep him. I shall keep him, along with the other five defectives. Even though he may not serve well in battle, at least he may have the honour of being trained in the Kaminoan facilities. So will the defectives. Well, I will not even call them defectives! They will be in their own group. One like you have never seen before. They will be the 119th Legion, with CT-1192 as their commander!"

With that my incubator was taken into a fairly large room by the Kaminoan who I now know is Malek-Sal. I know that without her, my Legion would have never existed. And, for this I am truly grateful, I would have never lived past five minutes of life. The rest of my story is still to come, and I believe that it is like almost no other.

Wow, that went better than expected. This is the best story I've thought up so far! This is the first chapter, and It's longer than the first two chapters of my first (discontinued) story combined! The next chapter will definately be longer. Hope you like it and please R+R!
