It would be many years before the galaxy did see peace. Palpatine escaped before the Jedi could finish him and went into hiding for a few years, building up an army. In those years, the Separatists were defeated. The clones continued to protect the galaxy, mixing their ranks with volunteers from all over the galaxy. The Senate officially saw the clones as a major race in the galaxy and gave them a seat in the Senate. Over the next few years, the galaxy saw a shift in culture as the Jedi began to marry and have children, along with the clones. Some things did not change, though.

Many clone commanders could not accept everyday normal life and choose a different path than their lower ranking brothers. They choose to be stuck in deep freeze until they were called upon to save the galaxy again. Among them was a CC-2224, one of the few clones to be acknowledged individually for his achievements on and off the battlefield. He would be among the names taught to children all over the galaxy along with Obi-wan Kenobi, Anakin and Padme Skywalker, Ahsoka and Rex Tano, and many others.

Years would pass and he would be reported dead, as his chamber was kept a secret, unlike the rest thanks to Clone Commander Alpha. His friends would miss him and wonder what became of their friend, but they would accept his fate, just like the rest of the galaxy. He would only reappear when the galaxy needed him again, 20 years after the fall of the Darth Sidious.

The End
