CC-1192 was a gruff, no nonsense, and most of all obedient clone trooper. As the commander of the newly formed 206th Star Corps, it was his responsibility to make the decisions for his regiment; which targets to strike, and how to minimizing casualties. Being a loyal soldier of The Republic also meant that CC-1192 had unyielding loyalty to the Supreme Chancellor, or was supposed to in theory. CC-1192 was independent, analytical, and did not hold himself above disobeying orders he thought were incorrect.
That all changed one day: with the arrival of two Jedi straight from the Temple on Coruscant. No longer would CC-1192 be in direct command of the 206th, rather he would be taking orders from two Jedi, which made him quite unhappy. The two Jedi heading to Kamino to take command of the 206th Sky Corps were Jedi Master Mantina Bollum, and her padawan Cariss Rozcrantz.
Cariss for starters was quite excited to finally be free from the confines of the Jedi Temple. It was where he had spent his entire life: training. It felt good to get out and explore the vast galaxy around him.
"Master who are we to be working with?" Asked Rozcrantz to his master. " Our partner in this endeavor is a clone with the designation CC-1192, I've heard he's quite the character." Master Bollum replied with a slight chuckle.
"How so?" Questioned Cariss. Of all the stories he'd heard of clones, none of them mentioned words other than obedient and loyalty.
"Well, from what I am told this clone is unique. He is independent, analytical, but also fiercely loyal to those he trusts with his life." Replied Master Bollum to her now stunned padawan.
As their ship tore through the rain clouds and thunderstorms that were constant on Kamino, both Jedi couldn't help to wonder what experiences would be in store for them. They both knew war with the Confederation of Independent Systems was inevitable, they just didn't know when the spark would light the fire.
Both felt the "thump" of the ship setting down on a drenched landing platform in Tipoca City, the main clone training center. Both force users promptly stood and walked towards the now lowering ramp.
"Great, just what I needed, a nice bath." Rozcrantz sarcastically said, earning him a stifled laugh from his master.
As they made off the ship and towards the double doors at the end of the landing platform both were a bit nervous about meeting their "unique" clone commander. As they entered the facility they were met below with the most awe inspiring scene either had witnessed during their lifetimes.
Row upon row of white clad men standing at attention with a few having colored stripes upon their armor, signifying their command positions. The officer were placed at regular intervals among the troops.
" Wow! How many do you think there are Master?" Wispered Padawan Rozcrantz, stunned almost into silence.
"I don't know. I will guess over 100,000 at least. Too bad I can't use my force abilities to get lightening fast head counts. Come on, let's go down and greet them." Master Bollum replied, with a slight hint of humor in her tone. Both Jedi began their trek to the turbolift that would take them down below.
Meanwhile, down below CC-1192 didn't know what to expect in the inevitable meeting either. Before forming up, CC-1192 asked his closest brothers how they felt about their new Jedi Generals. His brothers including Commanders Cody, Gree, Stone,Bly and Captian Rex, all stated that they were looking forward to their new superiors and told CC-1192 not to worry.
At present however CC-1192 was still on edge about the upcoming meeting.
"How are you holding up Commander?" Asked CT- 6210 "Deviss", a captain in Commander Bly's 327th Star Corps.
After his training as a young clone with his 4 brothers, Deviss became his constant companion throughout his older training years. They both had hoped that they would be assigned to the same unit, and were a bit saddened when they found out they would be separated. However, they would each be a member of Star Corps.
"Well Deviss, I'm just a little on edge about meeting my new Jedi Generals." Replied CC-1192 warily.
Suddenly Deviss clapped his gloved hand onto CC-1192's shoulder and said "I couldn't agree with you more, vod. However I don't think you should worry about it too much." CC-1192 could on smile and nod his head at the encouragement his fellow brother, fellow vod, offered him.
Suddenly the sound of doors opening revealed two robed figures who promptly began walking towards the waiting clone troopers.
"Master Bollum, welcome to your new regiment." A voice called out suddenly. All heads turned to see Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi striding over towards the Master and Padawan.
"Who are they Master Kenobi?" Bollum whispered quietly for fear of being heard by the soldiers in the room.
"These men are organized into the 206th Sky Corps, a regiment you are now commanding." Obi Wan said, promptly spinning on his heels and walking away.
Slowly Master Bollum and Padawan Rozcrantz approached the clone troopers they would be leading into battle.
"Who is in command of this regiment at present?" Asked Bollum, her eyes sweeping over the large amounts of cloned soldiers.
"I am General." A voiced said, and instantly a clone bearing yellow stripes stepped forward and snapped to a salute.
"What is your name Commander?" Asked Master Bollum, staring at the patterns of yellow color on the man's armor. "My designation is CC-1192, sir." Replied the clone commander in a stern voice. Both Jedi stared back before Master Bollum took the initiative and introduced herself.
" My name is Jedi Master Mantina Bollum, and this here is my Padawan, Cariss Rozcrantz. We look forward to a great many experiences with you men, and hope in the end peace will be the result of our actions." Slowly her Padawan reached out his hand towards a clone Captain and introduced himself. " Cariss" he said. The clone captian then reached out and shook the Jedi's extended hand, "Wasp" he replied.
With the introductions complete both clones and Jedi began to plan out their first assault on the Separatists. Preparing for the coming of a new, and incredibly destructive war.
